    Finding Nemo, the movie

    I did like the movie though. When I was a kid I really really wanted that volcano but it was way too expensive. I wonder if Penplax and Marineland paid to have their products in that tank. BTW, does anybody know where I can get a Dalmation fur coat?

    betta wont eat

    IMO 65-70 is not too cold for a betta, however his metabolism will be slower and therefor eat less often. They will eat when they're hungry. Give him a couple bloodworms, if he doesn't eat them, try again in a couple of days. Always soak freeze dried foods in fresh water to rehydrate them before...

    auto feeders

    The number 1 killer of fish is fish food. IMO, your fish are much better off not being fed for a week than having someone that isn't an aquarist feed them.

    pairing up clowns?

    Just get 2. IMO getting 2 the same size has the same percentage of pairing success as buying different sizes because none of the ones you get at the store are mature anyway.

    non motorized skimmer?

    Counter current skimmers are the least efficient type as far as protein removal per gallons of flow, but they do work. However, IMO, Lee products are junk. The plastic is thin and weak and will break and or leak.

    Finding Nemo, the movie

    I finally saw that movie the other week. Dentist office tanks are supposed to distract the patients, dentist that treat children decorate their tanks with things that distract children. The thing that bothers me is why would someone want to have a salt water aquarium after seeing that...

    Are you talking about a "Banded Butterfly", or a "Copperband Butterfly"? I don't think I know of a fish called a "Coral Banded".

    copperband butterfly

    All butterflies are for very experienced expert aquarists, and Copperbands have one of the lowest survival rates of any of them.
