You might want to try using a skeewer to hand feed him, this is how I feed mine and have had no problems.

Puffygrrl, Actually my dogface is very active him and the porky are like night and day. I know my water quality( the basics) are good but I have never thought about Cal or iodine. I too have never considered my tank needed it. I will buy some test kits and try that. Thanks. And Thanks everyone.

I used plastic eeg crate on my cover and so far so good.

I loved the episode, your house looks great. I have alot of respect for the Monster house crew, they really do work their butts off. I also feel for you Pam, with all your kids(cute btw) in that tiny RV for a week!:eek:

20 gallon. I think its a good idea to have one and have it ready to go, you might need it at a moments notice. I learned this the hard way.

This last summer we had a bunch of vehicle break ins right down our whole block in a matter of 3 days. My hubby got his system stolen but for some reason mine wasn't. I have a fairly decent Alpine system, but its a little dated. Anyways they caught them turned out to be brothers aged 9 and 11...

My porky looks to be in good health and eats heartily but he is very lathargic. He hangs out only on one side of the tank or on the bottom like he is hiding. I've had a porky before and that one was very active. Why is this one like this?

I love my dog face. They are very easy and have a ton of personality. They act just like dogs. When he sees me getting his food he will 'sit' at the bottom and wag his tail until I open the hood. He also lets me pet him. I think putting one with a niger would be fine, but as with any fish watch...

By the way how are the fish doing now?

You are so lucky, I love monster house. How did it feel not being able to know what they were doing to your house? I've got my reminder set for this episode, been waiting for a fish tank related one for awhile.

there is a lfs here that isn't the classiest or high tech but their livestock is always healthy and they'll tell you the truth. Privately owned is sometimes better.

I just wanted to add, make sure you age the water for at least 24 hours and this will also be less stress full to the fish.

If he has died he will decay and cause and ammonia spike. Its best to find him now.

I think it looks good too. Looks like it has pink coraliine on it. I assume you haven't added fish yet? You should be ok just a longer cycle. You're lfs was probably lying and it was uncured.

From what I've read and heard this is true. The same with feeding guppies. Silversides are okay for lions. It's best to get lions trained to eat frozen or fresh food(various seafood) as soon as possible. I use a skeewer to feed them so I can mimic the movement of live feeders. I also like to...
