Eric - or anyone, have you raised the Confused Flour Beetle at home? I bought a culture years ago. When I read the precautions about letting them get loose...
I've had a culture sitting in my petroom for over a year without ever harvesting. I decided to try and harvest some grubs and divide up the culture but I found...
I'm cycling with fish. Ammonia is at about .1. I used some artificial bacteria at first but not much. It came with the tank package. Has anyone heard if the...
I believe Bio-Spira is the only one of those products that is supposed to work as claimed. I do not see it very often and believe it must be refrigerated so...
Bio Spira has a good reputation, it's just a little difficult to find at times. I too would expect you to be seeing nitrites at this point. Keep an eye on the...
Bir-Spira does work. But, and this is a big but, does your local LFS keep it refrigerated? If not, you might as well add a rock. You say that you are cycling...

Adding bacteria to a tank is not enough you have to give food to the bacteria too, (nitrifying bacteria need food, water, and oxygen) the food they need is...
your lfs should upon your request give you a dirty filter pad to place in your filter this is chuck full of great bacteria this should jump start your cycle a...
<<So if someone use Bio Spira they have to introduce few fish too. >> That's how it's supposed to be used. You add the BioSpira and fish at the same time. This...
<< your lfs should upon your request give you a dirty filter pad to place in your filter. this is chuck full of great bacteria.>> It is also possible for it to...
Biospira AND fish at the same time. Frank, thank you. I've been worrying about getting in a box of fish from you AND having a heathy tank for them. DUH....
<< So, I can have the biospira in my fridge until the fish get here. Pour into the water. Acclimate the new fish in their bags. And all the while the...
Angelfish and a few other cichlids will do this , lay eggs so that they do not become eggbound or sometimes they will reabsorb the eggs. Yes the angelfish is a...
... but you ... then ... Frank, could this be because ammonia would become present before nitrites and perhaps the nitrite converting strains mostly starve out...
I have has mixed sucess cycling that way. When done correctly, it is a great way to get the tank ready for putting the full load of fish in the tank right away...
Greetings all! I'm hoping for some advice on a pair of fantail goldfish. The small one, in the past week or so, has taken to somehow ending up on his back at...
Giancarlo, it will make sense, when the Bio Spira is refrigerated, the bacteria are sleeping, when you introduce them in a tank they multiply, they need...
Pete, I usually cycle my tank with calculated dose of ammonia, and I always monitor before add a new dose. Too much ammonia is fatal for the Nitrobacter ...
They normally eat koi/goldfish pellets (one's just the standard stuff, the other is a color enhancer food), and a pinch of goldfish crisps. The frozen brine...
... Vinegar is good for cleaning tanks followed by LOTS of rinsing. How to set it up will depend on what type of fish you want to keep and what type of water...
I have a pair of breeder angels, with (8) babies left from their very first batch. The babies are 2+ weeks old & the parents have spawned again. Should or...
I have a 40 gallon planted tank with 20 neons in it that I've had since last summer. They have all done well. Haven't lose a single one since I've purchased...
Cant be sure but sounds like it is having a problem with its swim bladder. This can be difficult to treat as it can have so many causes. Do a google search...
HI I HAVE TWO SHARK FISH IN MY 20 GAL TANK, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE GROWING VERY LARGE ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG ....ARE THEY GOING TO STOP GROWING OR ARE THEY GOING...
Thanks Michael. That's what it looks like to me too. It is looking a little better today. Not so thin. Wish I knew what to do for it. Roberta in Arizona...
Hi, Having a mild heat wave! I use a fan thinking this would help some. The temp got up to 79 for the goldfish in the 46 gallon and they seemed slower than...
