Fish in the
News: Nevin summarizes
a story titled, "Dog's life for
retailers as pet couture takes off." from MSNBC. The
Petshotel in Huntingdon, Long Island, is not just an
eccentric kennel aimed at a small group of pet owners. With
space for more than 100 dogs and 20 cats, it is operated by
Petsmart, the largest pet shop and pet supplies retailer in the
US. Click

George from St. Croix, Wisconsin, calls and talks about his
baby Mollies, and we talk with George about how to feed baby Mollies.

Tom and Nevin talk about what to do with your pet fish, when
you go on vacation. Click

here for even more.
Evan M. from Colorado asks about using R/O Water or
Distilled Water in his new marine aquarium? Tom and Nevin
talk about using R/O water in aquariums.
Tom and Nevin continue to talk about using R/O water in
freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Evan from Colorado calls and says he's now using R/O water,
that he combines with synthetic marine salts to make water for his
new marine aquarium. We talk about protein skimmers and
water chemistry including nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia.
Then we talk about biological filtration in a marine
aquarium. Tom says a filter with a BIO-Wheel is usually not
suitable in a marine aquarium. Tom asks Even to find out
what is the appropriate biological filter for his marine
aquarium, then to call back and give Tom the answer. Evan also
mentions that he has a UV-Filter on his marine aquarium.
Evan also wants to know about keeping just one Freshwater
Angelfish. Click
here for more information about Angels.
Finally, Evan says he reduced the gravel in his aquarium
from 1.5" deep to 1/4" as recommended by Tom and Nevin,
and his aquariums are much cleaner. Evan says his aquariums
look better with 1/4" of gravel.
Dennis from Spokane calls and says he found the strangest
worms in his filter. Tom and Nevin give advice about what to
do if you find strange worms in your aquarium filter. Then
we talk about Dennis' Black Mollies and how to buy healthy
fish. Dennis says that he's always "on the prowl" looking
for problems in his aquariums and dealing with those
problems, while they are still small problems.
Tom announces that a dear friend and wonderful aquarist,
John H. Rosenberger, who was born on October 27, 1922 in
Colorado Springs, Colorado, died on July 15, 2005 in San
Diego, California.
Tom reminisces about experiences with John and about visits
to his home to see his fish. Many of those fish were in
plywood boxes in John's backyard, which was very surprising at the
time. John was always very friendly and very modest about his skill.
John loved killiefish including Cynolebias nigripinnis,
Aphyosemion species, Roloffia species, and many others.

Richard from Dayton, Ohio, calls and says his 90-gallon
aquarium, that's been set-up for about 3-years, has cloudy water. Click
here for lots of detailed information about how to get
rid of cloudy aquarium water.
Tim sends an email and says thanks for helping him breed his Betta Fish.
Now he needs information about how to feed the baby Bettas. Tom
recommends that Tim click here
to search Pet Fish Talk for our interviews with Ronnie from
Missouri about feeding baby Bettas.
Dennis from Spokane, Washington, calls back for the second
time today and says he's having lots of baby Guppies but few
of them grow to maturity. The Bailey Brothers recommend lots
of partial water changes and discuss some other easy
techniques.
Nevin mentions that lots of people have big aquariums, and
Tom says, "The bigger the aquarium the more the fun!"
