I just got a used aquarium that has been in storage for some time. There is a crusty white build up on the hood and the top inside half of the glass. How and what can I use to clean it? I tried just using hot water and vinegar (like websites have said) and it's not working... Please help!

I recently added underwater plants, hoping to keep the water quality better between cleanings. Would a little monster help to clean up the tank or would it just upset the balance? If it's good to add one, what type is best?

I was surfing the net and came across a news item that says Italy has passed a law banning small fish bowl's, and that dog owner's have to walk there dog's at least three times a day.

I was just wondering what your oppionion on this was, and do you think it would be a good idea for pet owners to have to be licenced???

Before you get irate I only ask because of a debate at work, and I just want other peoples views on the subject.

Thanks A lot

I own four small hermit crabs and they live in a 10-gallon tank. Many people have different opinions on breeding hermit crabs - some say it is impossible, others state it is difficult and some say that it is simple if you know how.

I would like to know how to breed my hermit crabs and know any other possible information about breeding them. All answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

XOXO,
Laurie

My son has really gotten into taking care of his 2 new bettas and I was thinking about getting him one of those "themed" brine shrimp kits. He really wants his own pets "to be in his room" but he is too rough for a furry (besides we already have 8). How easy are brine shrimp tanks to take care of? How long do they live (e.g. will I have to pick out dead ones often)? I figure they might make good snacks for the bettas occasionally as well.

Also, has anyone had success with one of these "themed" kits (this is just one example of many different "themes http://www.officeplayground.com/seamonkeys.html ) or should I go for the more "scientific" kit ( http://search.discover-this.com/?query=sea+monkeys&catalog=discoverthis&imageField.x=10&imageField.y=6 ) ?

Thanks!

Help! My goldfish has a brown-black spot right above his lip. Is it poo, an illness, what? It's 1 milimeter in diameter. P.S. It wasn't here the day before.

Sometimes i wonder what life would be like if i had a penis.
I really wish I had one.

I really like my life as a female but really wish I had a penis aswell!

I saw on a TV show that someone's penis had an accident and had to be removed, but it was replaced by a finger!
Do you know any clinics/hospitals where I could have a fingerPenis?

Hello :)


Just wondering what's the best way of raising the KH of reverse osmosis water?

I have been using some "sera mineral salt" for hardening the water, and using "sera kh/pH-plus" for raising the KH, but I find that I can't get the KH high enough as the pH gets too high.

The pH of my RO water is perfect so I just want to raise the KH so it stays that way, this stuff raises the pH too.

I read about using like baking soda, which is a nice cheap option, but when I went to the cooking drawer in the kitchen, we had:

"Baking Powder" and "Bicarbonate of Soda"

I am guessing I will be using the latter, but just want to make sure.

Just so you know - the baking soda contains:
• Wheat flour
• Raising agents: Disodium diphosphate, Sodium hydrogen carbonate

The bicarbonate of soda only has bicarbonate of soda in it.

Also, how much would I add to raise the kH by...say 1dKH?

Thanks

I have a 55 gallon tank and all my fish have ich. I've tried treating it with the malachite green stuff for 2 days with no prevail. And today I tried raising the temperature and increasing the salt to 1 TB per gallon of water as a friend told me to do. But he said to increase the temp to 86 F degrees or higher, and my tank seems to only get it to 82 with the heater on. It took me 4 hours of boiling water to get it to that temp! So now I have ich growing at rapid increases in my tank. He said higher temps helps medicines work better. is it safe to try another malachite treatment with the salt in there over night to see if it helps? I don't know if I'll ever be able to get myt ank that hot. I can't just babysit it non stop for 2 weeks. But I've already lost 2 fish and don't want to lose anymore.

When I left for work this morning, my beta was happy and swimming in his bowl. When I returned this afternoon, my fiance told me that he found the beta on the carpet dead. We don't have any cats or other animals that could have bothered him. Has anyone ever heard of a beta jumping out of their bowl before?
