dahonda96 asked:


I just a bought 2 apple snails the size of 3 quarters in a triangle, but round, and put them into a 29 gallon tank, with aquarium salt, and they haven’t moved yet. Its been 2 days. I just moved them into a 10 gallon tank without aquarium salt to see if they would move. No sign of movement yet, only been 5 min. What do I do?

What is a good substitute for an aquarium cover?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
ghostbetta asked:


I have a 10 gallon aquarium on my desk. My desk already has a Florescent light so I don’t want to shell out the money to buy a Aquarium cover + florescent light. What is a good replacement for an aquarium cover? I don’t think I want the terrarium covers because they’re wire screens- and they let dust through. Any suggestion?

Is it possible that an aquarium could have tripled my electric bill in one month?

I set up a 55 gallon aquarium last month, and I have the filter and heater running constantly. That’s the only thing that I can think of that’s different. My electric bill went from $110 to $345 last month.

How much could I buy a 75 gallon all glass aquarium with a hood for?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Sally asked:


All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would like to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?
I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low can I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.
Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.
