How do u freeze bloodworms to feed your fish? Do u put them in the fridge wen they r alive?

Posted on January 15, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

Well I have a female beta fish. She doesn’t eat the normal packed fish foods. All she eats are living bloodworms. As beta fish need feeding once a day, with worms u cant fulfil it as they remain in the tank crawling inside the stones. Plus bloodworms start rotting. It gets really messy..I feel very disgusted..So I thot of preserving them in the fridge..Hope anyone can help me out with this =)
I dont find frozen bloodworms in packs here at fishstores =( I only buy the living ones. And they all die :S ..however, I can buy dried worms from the store..But I’m worried if my beta fishy will eat it or not..because she is alwez searchin for livin worms in the bottom. She doesnt eat fish food at all..
My question is still unanswered. Do I freeze the living worms in the refrigerator?

Do aquatic turtles eat algae?

Posted on August 4, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

My turtle spends alot of time scouring away at the bottom of his tank between the meal schedule that I have for him. The only thing down there (to my knowledge) is algae and that’s for the bottom feeders! Since he’s (suppose to be) hibernating I feed him less so that he can get his sleep, but lately, scavenging has become a big hobby. I dont want to over feed him. I dont know what to conclude from this. Am I not feeding him enough. Is there extra food in the tank that I dont know about? Can someone explain what may be going on to me?

What is wrong with my brother?

Posted on May 31, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

First of all, he is just 11 years old. But, he has something seriously wrong with him. He is obsessed with Weapons of all sorts, mostly Guns, and can name any weapon or Tank or whatever right down to every detail. He carries his BB Guns and Air Soft Rifles with him wherever he goes, is obsessed with Action movies, ( Without regard to plot or substance) and finally is very violent. If I make him Angry, he will threaten to beat me up, usually with regard to shooting my eyes out with his BB gun, which is a constant threat he makes. He is failing in school, and is extremely ignorant about everything, except he knows the complete history of everything that has to do with weapons. It is as if his entire mind is completely devoted to violence, rage, and weaponry. He plays violent video games, watches violent movies, and reads violent books, filling his mind with military knowledge. He has also recently become also obsessed with “SAS Survival Skills” which involves many Military Skills. Is there something seriously wrong with my brother, and if so, what is it called? What can a concerned teen brother do to help?

I want to keep goldfish in a bowl. Is there absolutely no way?

Posted on March 26, 2010 by admin| 7 Comments

I didn’t think I would, but I won two goldfish at a county fair yesterday. They are small common type goldfish, both of which are slender and just a bit longer than an inch. Before I read anything about them, I put them in a small tank. This morning, when I went to the pet store to buy food and something for them to hide behind, I was given a large bowl (flat on the sides like a tank, with rounded edges) for free with my purchase. I have tropical fish at home who have lived for about ten years in a filtered tank, but I figured since I’d seen goldfish thrive in bowls and tanks without any special filtration, that I didn’t need all that for my new fish. I transferred them to the new bowl which was obviously a traumatizing experience for them.
Now I’ve read that bowls are actually a terrible place for a goldfish, let alone two, but I really don’t want to put them through another move. Keep in mind these are small fish, not fancy, and the bowl is only a couple gallons but still tank-sized with plenty of room for the both of them. I don’t know if they will poison each other or what, but I’d like to preserve them even though they are fair fish. Please let me know if filtration is extremely necessary and if it would be more harmful to move them or to keep them where they are. As you can understand, this is somewhat urgent as the fish have already been used to the bowl for a couple hours, now.
