  1. One of my tetras abdomen is swollen. Dropsy I suspect.  I pulled her out and set her up in a hospital tank, using 1 gallon of water from the show tank. I looked at my fish medicine inventory. The one product that is recommended to treat dropsy Maracyn 2 I don't have! So I treated with one teaspoon of aquarium salt/gallon. 

    My first instinct is to go to Aquarium Co-op to order it. Hmmmmm.  The Co-op does not carry it to order. Why?  I have the other trio.... Can't decide what to do. Is treating with salt the only thing I can do??? When should I change her water????

    Looking forward to your response.

  2. You are going to love this brine shrimp hatchery. I’m not exactly sure about the weight with water, but I can hold it with one hand. 3.5 lbs is my guess.

    I built the stand from 1” PVC that Cory demonstrated in a YouTube video. The handle rests very snug at 1” So I would keep the wood you use to hang it on at 1”  The USB nano pump is perfect for this application. 

    The heater I use is a submersible nano heater. Just make sure you rinse everything throughly after each hatch.

    My fishies get a gourmet dinner every night, since I’ve had mine. 

    Enjoy!

     

     

     

     

     

  3. Welcome to the forum. I’m curious... What kind of harps? I have 3 luthier made Autoharps, crafted in Sea Tac Washington. When able to start traveling again, I want to make a pilgrimage to Aquarium Co-Op. How fortunate you are to live close by. I would be in there everyday. 

  4. For the last 40 years I have been a National Certified Interpreter for the Deaf. Hence my logo means interpret in American Sign Language.

    I have kept aquariums most of my life. I did take a 19 year break. When my ex husband declared that the 6 foot tank was his! Ha! I made sure I had re homed most of my fishies before I drove off into the sunset..... Taking the Python with me! He didn’t know the difference between an air stone and a rock.... I wonder how long it took him to bail that tank.  LOL

    Cory and Aquarium Co-Op have been such an inspiration to me. I love playing with my 3 tanks.  Having a blast raising Corydoras and Mystery Snails. I love all of the Ziss breeding equipment.

    I'm a foundryman specialising in the Investment Casting process, also known as the Lost Wax process. I supervise a team that can produce anything from industrial components by the thousand, a one off prototype from a plastic 3D print or a one off bronze sculpture from a handmade clay model. We can cast many metals and their alloys including irons, steels, stainless steels, aluminium alloys, brasses and bronzes. We also use the greensand method so there's not a lot we can't cast. In fact the company motto is 'You ask, we cast'. Check us out here, there's a little video too... https://www.castingshop.co.nz/

    My tasks many and varied but I mainly manage production, quality control and look after the metallurgical equipment to maintain it's accuracy.

    I sell honeybees to beekeepers. My busiest times are Winter and Spring because I have to get ready for the Spring rush when beekeepers restock from their winter loses.

    I don't sell honey, which is what people usually associate with beekeeping, but I do collect a little to give to the landowners where I have my principle outyards.

    Wow very important work. Most people don’t realize how incredible bees are.

  7. Hi Dean. Question... In the Ziss egg tumbler, my baby Corydoras, hatched two days ago. I figure that when I feed them I should disconnect the air pump. So they can find the food. Then reconnect the air after a few minutes, Is that correct?

    What is the best way to keep the bottom free of left over food? Syphine out with those little plastic syphine gizmos?

    How long should I keep the fry in the tumbler, before moving them to the Ziss breeder box?

    I just haven’t found much information about using it much pass placing eggs inside.

    Please advise.

  8. Hello Sandy.

       On my five gallon nano tank I have a small HOB and ordered from Aquarium Co Op. I added the small pre filter sponge to the intake it fits perfect. Also in that same tank run a small sponge filter With a Ziss air stone And nano USB air pump in the other corner works very well together

    I'm not sure if it's the right "vibe" the problem is, I'm also terrible at knowing what the right vibe is lol. Jimmy is better at it than I am. Different vibes for different types of videos. I listened to a few others there, definitely a range. I'll see if I can get Jimmy to poke around on there, definitely high quality stuff there. Thanks.
