Diana, I wrote this about mandarins. Paul B’s Unique Perspective on Keeping Mandarins
They are not a beginner fish or a new or small tank fish. You need to feed them every day or have a very large, mature system, more than a few years old.
I got the whiteworms on like, I just Googled White...
Mandarins are extremely cool and I have been keeping them for many years. They are a long lived fish if you know their requirements and not a get and forget fish. They do need a little help but the beauty of them make them worthwhile.
This Whiteworm culture is a few years old and the original worms were very small and skinny. In time the new generations are much longer and fatter. I don't know why. But these new worms are also much harder to separate from the soil they live in. The original worms used to swarm by the...
I think it's going to be hard to move all the sponges I have growing in my tank as there are more sponges than anything else. The blue one is about 18" across even though I keep trimming it and there are white sponges 8 or 9" long in the caves. I think the sponges are the best filters and I am...
I think those lobsters taste like snot. I used to SCUBA for about 20 years here in NY and I had a lobster license so we used to dive for lobsters. You are allowed 6 lobsters a day which is 6 too many for me but my wife was in heaven. You ever get bitten by one of those? They can take your...
Tonight I am making my wife one of these because she hasn't been feeling very good. I myself don't like lobsters because my family had a sea food business and I used to have to eat the lobsters that died in the store so I am sick of them. (you can't sell dead lobsters) My Mother made them...
I will be building a tiny bathroom in the workshop of my new house and I was ordering a toilet bowl. I found the one I want but I am a little Leary because it is not allowed for sale in these countries:
This item has been restricted from sale in the following countries: Andorra, United Arab...
I know about those. I even crashed twice, once in this one and once in a Schnook. But we didn't have Siri, touch screen, digital or analog. We had a wooden stick and, well, thats about it. :D
Crashed in this one too :confused:
Thank you. You are better off staying out of it with Asthma. But your heart is in the right place. :cool:
I start this thread every year on many forums because it is very important to me. On most forums it doesn't even get a look which is sad. Many (not all) young people today just don't...
Today as many Americans know is Veterans Day.
I was on my way to the Veteran Festivities at out town hall this morning and I stopped at Star Bucks.
As I was waiting on line a girl behind me said she wanted to buy me breakfast. I was totally honored and blown away as that has never happened to...
These guys spawned again last night. Before I went to bed they were, like my Mother used to say "Mushing it up". This morning the female is a lot skinnier. I don't know where they lay the eggs but I am sure my pipefish will enjoy the fry when they hatch.
I am in the process of designing the new room in my new house where my tank will go. Right now it is a cement room with no windows about 18' X 20'. I need to build my workshop and some closets for myself and my wife. The most important thing is my tank and my workbench. I will put the tank in a...
I can only tell you what I read, that they have a very short lifespan. I had many of them and I think they all died of old age is 3 or 4 years is supposed to be it for them. I am surprised their lifespan is so short as they are a fairly large fish.
