First
we quickly summarize last
week's show. Then
...
Larry from
Washington, D.C.,
calls and asks Tom
and Nevin about
charcoal and the pH
in his new 29-gallon
aquarium?
Nevin summarizes an
interesting article
with new information
about Piranhas.

Adrian from Denver,
Colorado, calls and
says he's got a
75-gallon aquarium
with African
Cichlids that are
getting "bloat".
Adrian asks if Clout
would be effective
in treating "bloat"?
Tom and Nevin talk
at length about what
they know about
"Malawi Bloat" and
how to treat it.
Tom and Nevin also
explain how to thaw,
rinse, and feed
frozen brine shrimp
to aquarium fish.
We continue to talk
with Adrian about
feeding frozen brine
shrimp. Tom and
Nevin reminisce
about importing
African Cichlids
from Lake Malawi a
long time ago,
including a fish
that Tom and Nevin
named
"Pseudotropheus grafi", after their
friend Bob Graf.
Here is
a picture of
Pseudotropheus
grafi, the
fish species
that Tom and
Nevin Bailey
named after
their friend
Bob Graf.
This is
another Mbuna
Cichlid from
Lake Malawi
that Tom and
Nevin named
Pseudotropheus
renati, but
they can't
remember why
now.
Tom and Nevin
sold this
Mbuna Cichlid
to a friend,
who named it
Jackson. So
Tom and Nevin
named the
species
Pseudotropheus jacksoni.
Tom
and Nevin explain
that long ago they
imported fish from
Lake Malawi, and
each shipment
contained a few
species that they'd
never seen before or
after. The pictures
shown above contain
examples of some of
those fish.
After Adrian hangs
up, Tom and Nevin
continue to discuss
African Cichlids
getting Bloat
disease and more
generally about
stress and disease.
Abraham says he's
interested in
keeping Swordtails
and Guppies and
wonders if those
fish species will do
better in a
40-gallon tall
aquarium or a
40-gallon long
aquarium.
We get an email
asking what to do
about aquarium water
with low pH and high
nitrates?
Molly says there's
an oily film on the
water in her fish
bowl. Is this a
problem?
Nick says he found
one Guppy fry and
wants to know if
this is normal?
Lydia W. wants to
know how long fish
are pregnant? And
how often do they
have babies?
Josh from Ohio calls
and says he got the
50-gallon aquarium,
and he wants to know
if putting sand on
the bottom of his
new aquarium is a
good idea? We also
talk about canister
aquarium filters.
A
nurse from our mother's
doctor calls to
remind her about her
appointment. Momma
B. tells Tom and
Nevin that she feels
fine.
Aaron from Ohio
calls and says he is
still trying to set
up his Paludarium.
Click

pictures of Aaron's
project, building
his own Paludarium.
Randy has 40-gallon
hex-aquarium and his
male molly is very
aggressive to his
female.
Carl from
Albuquerque says he
owns a canister
filter, and it takes
more maintenance
than Penguin and
Emperor Filters.
Josh says there is a
brownish slime on
the pad in his
aquarium filter. Tom
says this might be
cyanobacteria.
