The Best Fish Tank, Heater, Light, and Accessories - The New York Times The Best Fish Tank, Heater, Light, and Accessories - The New York Times Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:00 AM PDT Tank kit The Marineland Bio-Wheel LED Aquarium Kit 20 came with the second-best filter of the bunch, but its light was dim and the kit cost one and a half times as much as all the other kits at the time of our testing. We were intrigued by the affordable Elive Aqua Duo 20 kit's optional aquaponics filter, which allows you to grow a terrestrial plant on top of the filter to help reduce fish waste. But the setup looked a little strange, and as the tank was explicitly designed for this aquaponics setup, it makes little sense without it. The Tetra 20 Gallon LED Aquarium Kit looked almost identical to the Aqueon kit, except with an inferior filter and five free plastic plants. We value the filter more. Standalone tank During our testing, we had difficulty findi

(Courtesy: Texas Parks & Wildlife Department) AUSTIN (KXAN) — A plant meant for aquariums in the United States and imported from the Ukraine could contaminate your aquarium with invasive zebra mussels, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The plants are called "moss balls" but technically they aren't moss. Instead, they're a type of algae used for decoration and to help improve aquarium health. They're often used in betta fish aquariums and are sometimes sold as "Beta Buddy Marimo Balls," "Mini Marimo Moss Balls" and "Marimo Moss Ball

Exotic 'pets': Suffering for sale | Blogs | timesnews.net - Kingsport Times News Exotic 'pets': Suffering for sale | Blogs | timesnews.net - Kingsport Times News Posted: 31 Mar 2021 08:39 AM PDT Some years ago, I heard a loud, rather frantic knocking at my door. I rushed to open it and found my next-door neighbor standing on my doorstep with gloves on and a pillowcase in hand. He had stopped by to warn me that his "pet" python was on the loose, having escaped the small, inadequate tank that he was kept in. As if this weren't alarming enough, he admitted that he had been out of town for "a couple of weeks" and wasn't exactly sure when Bruno the snake had finally gotten hungry enough to make a break for it. Could I keep an eye out for him? I slept with one eye open until Bruno was found — weeks later, emaciated and dead, having starved to death behind the dryers in the apartment

Invasive zebra mussels found in aquarium ‘moss ball’ product in pet, aquarium supply stores - KLTV Invasive zebra mussels found in aquarium ‘moss ball’ product in pet, aquarium supply stores - KLTV Posted: 05 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST Aquarium owners are urged to stop buying this product and to safely dispose of any that have already been purchased. This can be done safely by completely drying, freezing, or placing the moss balls into a plastic zipper bag and then disposing of it in a garbage bag. Aquarium water should be replaced, and filters/cartridges replaced or disinfected. Aquarium water can be disinfected prior to disposal by adding one cup of bleach per gallon and allowing it to sit for 10 minutes before disposing the water down the drain. This method can also be used to disinfect gravel, filter, and other structures, and is highly recommended if zebra mussels are found attached to the moss or in the aquarium. You are subscri
