lol how do you know if they eat or not - that goes for all your fish that hide away in the rocks.

I have to wait at night with the lights off until I can get a good view of the fish that are normally hiding and see what they are eating. Normally they come out and get the flakes that are at the bottom of the tank that are leftover. I normally have to get up at least three times a night to check on the fish that I normally don't see, and make sure that they are at a healthy weight.

wow you are disciplined. i could never do that! do you like set an alarm or something? or are you able to just wake yourself up magically lol

I normally don't go to sleep until 12 or 12:30 am. lol, if I wouldn't have been awake that long, the one 10-Gallon that cracked would have drained completely, and I would have had a bunch of dead fish.

ohhhh so you were awake when the tanked cracked.
what, you just lay in bed and refuse to go to sleep or does your body have issues and won't let you sleep until midnight?

Pretty much lay in bed and refuse to go to sleep. As crazy as it sounds.

<3~Pleco~<3 · 08-20-2009, 02:05 PM

lol, I do sleep in. But with School coming up, its going to be a little more challenging to keep an eye on the fish.

lol, I agree.
Here are some pics I took one night of the catfish. The Channel is the biggest fish in the tank (7 inches, maybe more). First pic is the Channel.

hey, i have a question, but im too lazy to start a new thread so, ill just ask it here. you might have an answer for me.

in between posts, i go to the bathroom where i am scrubbing this rock i bought at the pet store for my new tank (38 gallons)
the rock is super dirty so it will take a while to get clean, but thats not my issue.
is it possible for a rock to be too heavy for a tank? cuz this rock is super heavy! it kills my back and arms whenever i lift that thing. so i am worried about my tank. should i be worried about it putting too much pressure on the tank and cracking it?

i could weigh it if that would help.

Hoyo12 · 08-20-2009, 02:27 PM

It is possible to brake the tank with a rock that is too heavy. If you could weigh it, that would give me a better idea on whether or not its too heavy.

<3~Pleco~<3 · 08-20-2009, 02:33 PM

it is just over 20 pounds. 22 to be exact.
lol now i feel weird saying it was so hard to lift. im not the strongest person in the world

Hoyo12 · 08-20-2009, 02:36 PM

There should be no issues with the rock in the tank. Its not heavy enough to brake the glass. Most aquariums can take a lot of weight before they bust. A 55-Gallon can hold more than 100lbs of rock, and a 10-Gallon can hold more than 40 lbs of rock.
