Instead of asking lots of questions I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good book on Apitso's? Hopefully it would be one that goes over water parameters, temp. different types, compatibility etc.

I bought a 200w submersible heater for one of my tanks out of the box the glass was broken on the very bottom approx. 1/2" piece plus a crack approx. 2 to 3" long. The heater has never been plugged in. I know you can buy heaters cheap approx. 7.00 each for a 200w. Is there anyway that this can...
My Orange Flash young doing great not able to sell yet but I would expect fairly soon they should start showing some color. I have Double Reds with fry they are tiny I would compare them size wise to the grains of pool sand. I did have a pqair of Triple Reds that had fry but there were some...
I have been told that its not advisable to use a DI filter okay but why?? Not discounting anyone I just want to know why. I called the manufacturer of the RO and was told they heard of it vaguely but since they have been making RO units nobody has complained I also went to the LFS and they a...
All of my tanks have the same water ( makes it easier to maintain ) and now I have a problem, I have 1 pr of WC Breitbinden that are really acting listless cannot see the female but the male is either on the bottom in a corner just laying there or sometimes near the top in a corner. My water...

Yesterday I was watching the pr of Orange Flash and I noticed the Female was trying to eat the fry. From what I saw the fry manged to get away. So my question is this normal behavior at times its not like the fry are moving dots any more now they look more like normal size fry. From my...
Yesterday was interesting I was feeding my fish and I noticed spawning behavior with one of the prs of Triple Reds I have. The past few days it looked like the male was trying to impress the female and yesterday it looked like they were spawning. I have 90 degree PVC elbows 3/4" ID Dia. the...
Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question but I figured I would ask, just like with leaves it seems there is the preferred type of leaf and then there are others that work that you can use like Oak. So here is my question yes I understand you can buy all different types of wood to go in your...
