Re: THE CHAT ROOM

Spirulina flakes, or flakes with garlic.

Blood worms should work.

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

I have frozen blood worms that I feed to my 160 cichlid tank occasionally as a treat, but was afraid they would foul up the water for the planted tank.  Would it really be OK to feed them in the planted tank?  Also, I used to get spirulina flakes when I had saltwater, haven't looked for them in a while.  Which do you recommend?  I only have Petsmart and Petco locally, hopefully I can get it there.  If not, I'll be forced to make another trip to Houston.

That's cool, but I was making a suggestion to Richard.

Do you have a particular fish for me on the way yet?  LOL

Depending on how many Cardinals you have, just feed accordingly.  How often do you do water changes?

OSI makes an alright Spirulina flake.

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

Well, we havent' had one of your fish croak on us.....everyone of them is doing fine.....the little lelepe's are good, as are the electric JD's. They are cute little boogers who run around the tank endlessly chasing each other and searching for food.
The haps are in a 150 with my green terror and other larger fish, they seem to be fine.....everyone is good.....

thanks

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

I just setup the tank Saturday, using pre-cycled bio media, so I haven't determined a water change schedule yet.  It's a 45 gallon Odyssea w/ built-in filter on top, what you suggest?

Here's a pic before the Cardinals:

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

Mike, what day do you usually get your new shipments of livestock?  I saw someone earlier post Mondays, which stink for me because I can't get to you until Saturdays and most will be gone by then.

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

Nice looking tank, but what is the low down on the substrate, i've never heard of it???

[rrocket2002]

Re: THE CHAT ROOM

Nice, I had a 60g one of those before.  What kind of schedule do you have for your other tanks?
