    • How to Train a Puffer to Eat Pellets
      by madugo
      As some of you puffer keepers know, puffers are so attractive, and full of personality. Each puffer is so unique, with its own personality and habits that you may never find in another puffer. So like I've said before, puffers are like puppy dogs in the aquarium rather than fishes. ...

    • 10 Gallon Aquarium Suggestions
      by black_knight
      Once upon a time, the standard advice from advanced hobbyist to the novice was bigger is better. Buy the biggest tank you afford. But then came the birth of the nano and pico tank/desktop tank hobby, and suddenly 10 gallons wasn't so small. With better filter technology and attention being brought on smaller species of fish, you've got so much to choose from. ...

    • Understanding CO2 and pH
      by wesleydnunder
      OK, first pH. The ph scale is from 0 to 14. Pure distilled water has a pH of 7, called neutral. pH below 7 is called acid. pH above 7 is called basic. Water is made up of hydrogen ions (seen as hyrdronium ion H3O) and hydroxyl ions (OH). If there is an equal amount of hydrogen and hydroxyl, the pH is 7. More hydrogen ions than hydroxyl and the solution is acid. More hydroxyl ions than hydrogen and the solution is basic.

      The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, which means each step is a...

    • Guide to collecting fish
      by Sea-agg09
      I figure I should share some background from my collecting experience... Collecting is terrible. In freshwater systems, it’s bloody cold, muddy as hell, and you smell about like you look by the end of it all. Unfortunately for my girlfriend, I love it. Unfortunately, collecting requires some pretty specific equipment if you plan to do anything outside your county.
