First
we quickly summarize last
week's show. Then
...
Dennis from Spokane,
Washington, calls
and says that he
dealt the final
crushing blow to the
white spots on his
fish by turning the
temperature in his
aquarium up to about
83 degrees F. and
adding more aquarium
salt. We talk about
the ideal
temperature for
Mollies and other
aquarium fish.
Mel from Dixon,
Illinois, calls and
says she got a
10-gallon aquarium
for her mother. She
put a large Fantail
Calico Goldfish in
the aquarium, and
recently this
Goldfish has been
changing color to
black. Mel wonders
if this is a
problem. Tom talks
about Goldfish
spontaneously
changing color for
no apparent reason.
Tom also recommends
checking for the
Signs of Stress and
Disease such as
clamped fins. Mel
says the Fantail
looks and acts
healthy.
Ricardo says his
300-gallon stock
tank is indoors.
More about Ricardo's
tank later, but
right now we've got
a phone call ...
Danny from Quebec
City, Canada, calls
and wants to know
the distinction
between male and
female Piranhas.
Here are
some 6"
long Piranha
Fish showing
good color
with bright
orange on
their bodies
and dark red
fins. Click
here for
more about
Piranhas.
Tom continues to
talk with Danny from
Quebec about his new
Piranha Fish. Tom
encourages Danny to
call us back again
in a few weeks and
tell us more about
his Piranhas.
Back to Ricardo's
question about
adding Spotted
Puffers to his
300-gallon stock
tank, which has
replaced the dinner
table in his family
room!
Rebekah from West
Virginia calls. Tom
thanks her again for
writing a poem about
Pet Fish Talk.
Rebekah has named
her new Betta
Vermilion. Her other
Betta is named
Jouvence. Tom asks
Rebekah, who is now
13-years old, if
it's hard to keep
Betta Fish and how
her parents feel
about her keeping
Betta Fish.
Rebekah gives the
names of five of her
Turtles: Tortuga a
Mississippi Map
Turtle, Nugget a Red
Ear Slider, Twain
another Mississippi
Map Turtle, Caiman a
Yellow Belly Turtle,
and an extremely
small Turtle named
Oceana. Tom wonders
if he got the
spelling right?
Rebekah says she one
of her adult male
Guppies and lives in
an aquarium with
baby Guppies. Would
ich medication be
harmful to the
babies? Tom explains
how to treat the
male Guppy without
harming the babies.
David from Montreal,
Canada, calls and
says he just got
three pairs of the
Dwarf Cichlid named
Rams. David explains
what the Rams are
doing in his
50-gallon aquarium. Tom
and David talk about
making partial water
changes with R/O
water. David also
says that in Canada
the tap water is
still treated with
Chlorine. Tom says
most of the tap
water in the U.S. is
now treated with
Chloramine. David
asks how long should
he leave the light
on above his
aquarium?
Josh from Ohio calls
and says for the
first time in a long
time he has an
aquarium with cloudy
water. Tom talks
with Josh about this
aquarium, about
cloudy water, and
about how to get the
water to clear. Josh
also says he's
getting closer to
buying a new
aquarium ...
Back to Ricardo's
(Ritchie's) question
about keeping
Archers, Puffers,
and Plecostomus in a
large 300-gallon
stock tank. Tom
mistakenly says one
gallon of aquarium
salt per five
gallons of water,
but of course, he
meant to say one
Tablespoon of
aquarium salt per
five gallons of
water.
Jackie from Tampa,
Florida, calls and
gives us an update
on the large
1.5-acre pond in her
backyard which has
the aquatic plant,
Hydrilla, growing in
it. Jackie has been
working to get some
sterile triploid
Grass Carp to eat
the Hydrilla.
Evan
from Colorado calls
and talks about his
new 10-gallon Marine
Aquarium with
one Chromis, one
Cardinal, and two
Clown Fish, plus a
heater adjusted to
78 or 79 degrees F.,
a light, a layer of
crushed coral and
pieces of shell,
plus a skimmer. Evan
is feeding his
marine fish flake
food. We talk about
the pH of a marine
aquarium. Evan says
it's smart to have a
freshwater aquarium
before having a
marine aquarium.
Evan explains what
is called live rock.
In the picture above
this paragraph you
can see pieces of
live rock growing in
an underwater farm!
