Segment
One.
First
we quickly summarize last
week's show. Then
...
Roger from Texas
calls and says he
hasn't called us for
about a year. Roger
says he's had
problems with his
Pictus Catfish after
doing partial water
changes.
John from Indiana
calls and says he
bought a 2-gallon
aquarium for his
Betta, but the Betta
died. We recommend
that John click

the Search Page and
search for "Betta",
or click

the Search Page in
AquariumFish.net and
search for "Betta".
David from
Massachusetts calls
and asks Tom to tell
the story about
"tumbling Mbuna
eggs".
So Tom and Nevin
talk about buying
wild Mbunas
including Red
Zebras, determining
their gender, and
breeding the Mbunas
a long time ago in
their basement fish
hatchery.
Segment
Two.
Tom finally gets
around to telling
the story about
trying to
artificially hatch
Mbuna eggs by
tumbling the eggs in
worm cones and other
gadgets constructed
by Nevin. Then Tom
tries to give David
some hints about
spawning his German
Red Peacocks from
Lake Malawi,
including getting a
bigger aquarium and
feeding some live or
frozen adult brine
shrimp.
Dan from Dallas
calls and tells us
about the new
17,000-gallon pond
in his backyard that
has an algae
problem. We hope
that Dan sees this
and clicks
here to go to
another web site
with lots of
information about
controlling algae in
ponds.
Segment
Three.
Eric
from Pontiac,
Michigan, calls and
says that he wants
to spawn Ghost
Shrimp.
Someone sent us an
email that says,
"Love your show.
Heard you talking
about the so-called
fish that washed up
do to the recent
tsunami, and I want
to let you know it's
a hoax! ... "
Aaron from Ohio
calls and says every
time he's gone for a
day and comes back
one fish is dead in
his aquarium. He
wonders what to do?
We regret loosing
his call, but then
continue and try to
give him some good
advice about how to
deal with this
problem.
Josh from Ohio calls
and says we should
have two Pet Fish
Talk shows each
week. Josh's male
Dwarf Gourami got a
split tail, then fin
rot, and finally
died. Josh also says
one of his Rainbows
is not an Australian
Rainbow, but is
in fact a Neon
Rainbow.
Segment
Four.
Lacy
from Athens,
Georgia, calls and
tells us about the
Puffer Fish,
Sternella Catfish,
and Eel living in
her 75-gallon
aquarium. Tom
encourages Lacy to
set up an Mbuna
aquarium.
John H. in Australia
sent us an email
asking how far do
Freshwater Muscles
open their shells?
Kevin from Ohio
calls and asks about
why his Male Rosy
Barbs are swimming
mouth to tail in a
square dance. Kevin
wants to know what
his Rosy Barbs are
doing?
We talk about the
costs of aquariums
and aquarium
equipment. We also
thank some
listeners, who
didn't call and gave
other listeners a
chance to call.
Finally we thank
Roger, John, David,
Dan, Eric, Aaron,
Josh, Lacy, and
Kevin for calling
and talking.
