    Rotifer question

    I have a few rotifer cultures set up and my question is I think I have brine shrimp mixed in my cultures (unless if its possible to have some pretty large rotifer). So my question is, is this a bad thing or will the rotifer out compete for food and eventually kill off the brine shrimp? I have my...

    Petco

    First off I do agree with the masses as far as how petco is more interested in money and not so much about the health of the pets that they sell. With that being said I do feel that there are exceptions to that and one of which is the Petco off of 1960. Today I went in there with the intent to...

    My true perc laid eggs for the first time today. I understand that most people say don't even try to raise the eggs the first time around because the parents are pretty inexperienced and your hatch rate will be vary low anyway. My question is though is it normal for the parents to eat the eggs...
