aquarium

Hello guys and gals! I am from Anchorage Alaska and I'm new to CP's. I have kept a riparium for about a year and now that I built up my planted high tech 40B aquarium to a high tech riparium and now a high tech/high humidity enclosed ecosystem, I am ready to get into CP's! I will try to get a...

I recently lost some U.gibba which had been snuck into a fish tank I maintain with some java moss. I had noticed the bladders and very fine hairs coming out of them and kind of knew what the plant was. It was really more of a novelty to me and the aquarium owners untill my interest in CP's...

the 2 plants in particular may be a little big for an aquarium but first is the water hyacinth............if i break off one of those little nodules, will it grow new roots? I see that it does naturally but was curious if it would work if I broke it off before it divides on it's own? I do root...

This portrait of a lionfish (Pterois volitans) is—somewhat surprisingly—the first photo of a fish that I have posted on my blog. This is another picture that I took over 20 years ago and had scanned and digitized (from a Fujichrome 50 slide). I chose to scan this slide both because of what was...

The photo below is a close-up look at the tube feet of a sunflower starfish (Pycnopodia helianthoides) as it crawled on the inside of a glass aquarium. I took the picture over 20 years ago and recently had the original Fujichrome 50 slide scanned and digitized. As always, the scanned image...

I posted a series of pictures of planaria on my blog today. I acquired these specimens from an infested aquarium at a local pet store. I think they are Cura foremanii, but I’m not completely sure. Photographing these little beasts couldn’t have been much easier. I just put them in a white tray...

Does anybody know what this mineral might be? http://s1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh545/JMN16150/?action=view&current=SAM_0976_zps13d1bcfc.jpg I was looking around in my garage, where my dad keeps different kinds of cichlid or aquarium substrates, and I found this substrate. I asked my dad if I...

With the cooler autumn weather, i've been noticing a fair number of flies that have managed to find a way into the house. They typically congregate on the ceiling, which in our case is 11 feet high at the peak and thus these are difficult to capture. So i came up with this easily made pooter...

SoI've come to find myself in a bit of a pickle. As I am most likely moving in late December/early January. Now normally that wouldn't be an issue, but in the last few years I have lived here not only have I taken up growing and caring for Nepethes, but I have also taken up keeping betta fish as...

Hola! At a yard sale awhile back I bought an aquarium lid and a box o' stuff to get some fish food for my gambusia. The lid turned out to be broken, so that went into the garbage, and the other items I have been using since then. Some of this I either cannot use, or I have to grind up in some...

I love the Tennessee Aquarium, but I had no idea that they had such a nice plant display! Any IDs on these would be welcome, but I can look them up myself if it's too much trouble.

Its a 55 gallon aquarium with 4 foot, 4 lamp t5. It gets about 88 degrees during the day and 68 during the night. the humidity is at an almost constant 68%.I know its not much too look at plant-wise, I'm just starting out. I've had pretty good luck with drosera seeds. Tell me what you think, any...

Hi there, long time lurker new time member. live in Alabama around the Gulf Coast and Birmingham areas. Going to school for Elec engineering. Growing Many Drosera, Sarracenia, and Dionaea. I currently have a 10 gallon aquarium converted to a terrarium. I currently have two issues at hand...

Okay, so I had an idea that would be pretty cheap and it would make a pretty piece for my room. Basically what it would be is a 10 gallon fish tank paludarium. It would have a mound of sphagnum going around on all sides and a big puddle in the middle. The puddle would go about 1/3 of the way up...

My oldest boy is almost 9 and wants either a lizard or a frog. Originally a snake was in his plans but I am not ok with snakes or spiders; not afraid of them, but I don't want them living in my house and am not really happy with feeding baby mice to anything. No problem with crickets or bugs...

Building on that thread where a guy used UFO grow lights for his terarium, you could also use these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330780149693&var=540075607399 It can be made as large as you want. Basically, you buy the bulbs and some gu10 sockets and wire them in parallel...

After seeing the aquatic cp's at the ICPS conference in Seekonk, MA last weekend I had to throw a aquatic cp tank 2gether. The day I got home I made up an aquarium and now the tea is ready and the water is stabilized. Im wondering anyone has any aquatic cps that they have a few too many of...

Hey guys. I'm still alive. I've just been taking a break from the forum for a little while. I thought I would share my latest project. I've been working on getting a new aquarium up and going. I used to have several aquariums a few years ago, but lost interest in the hobby and sold all my...

I'm setting up a terrarium for some flytraps, sundews and maybe a pitcher or two in a 20 gallon aquarium. I'm not doing anything incredibly fancy but would like to include a waterfall with a pond fogger at the top. I've made "enclosures" for the water pump, and the fogger and will have those in...

I got these two little guys as tiny litttle nymphs and now that there about 1" long, I thought it was time for some pics! I also got lucky and ended up with a male and a female, so I might eventually end up with a lot of little ghost mantises. I have kept these two togather in a small aquarium...
