I know there’s nothing different unless I want to get elaborate with filters and skimmers, but does anyone have suggestions on how to clean it out? I’m planning on using a sandy bottom with live rock. I know it’s small, … Continue reading →

Severe Abodminal pain after eating/drinking…A parasite?

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:52:07 +0000

I got terrible food poisoning from shrimp a few months ago where I had similar symptoms to what I’m having now. After taking anti-biotics the symptoms went away. Then about 3 weeks ago I started noting the same problem… every time I drink or eat ANYTHING, I get horrible stomache pain, cramping etc. I got an endoscopy, an ultra sound and cat scan that all revealved nothing. I’m at the point where even just a sip of water hurts horribly. Several people have told me this sounds like a parasite? I know nothing about those. Someone else told me this could be my gall-bladder….I have no idea where to go with this. The doctors have been very little help.

Algae eaters for a freshwater aquarium?

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 20:55:48 +0000

I’ve been leaning towards apple snails, but I’ve been reading too much and getting different info about what they eat– Sometimes saying they’ll only eat live plants if there’s nothing else around, other sources saying they’ll eat live plants no matter what. I plan on getting a planted aquarium so I want to clean that up… would a few apple snails be safe for my plant life in my 25 gallon freshwater aquarium?

I have also been thinking about Zebra Nerite snails, but I just learned of these guys recently so I’m not too sure about them.

I was also thinking of amano shrimp, and possibly glass shrimp (just because they look so neat!)

I’m going to get some cory catfish but I know they aren’t exactly algae eaters, though they may eat it every so often.

I may also get a siamese algae eater, but I don’t want to overpopulate my tank too much. The last option I’ve been thinking about is an Otocinclus Catfish, but once again I don’t want to overpopulate and I’m already planning on getting Cory Cats…

Anyway, sorry for my ranting! Just a new & nervous aquarium starter Thanks for your help in advance!
