Re: Beef Heart Mystery
I've found that my discus do exceptionally well on a high-quality dried food. For me, that's been VibraBites from Hikari. I've relied on them for all my fish, and they seem to thrive.

Re: Beef Heart Mystery

When we think about muscle, we typically consider the two main types - striated and non-striated. The striated variety is found in the more active parts of our bodies and in animals, it's the same. This is why the traditional cuts we eat, like the limbs and back, are leaner ...

Re: Beef Heart Mystery

I'm not aware of any reason why pork would be less healthy than beef, FishNe. The heart is just a muscle, after all. While it's true that pig hearts are smaller, that doesn't necessarily mean they're less nutritious. It's possible that the yield might be lower after removing ...

The thing is, muscle's just ...

Re: Hey Y'all Wild Types

I've been eyeing these and I gotta say, they'd thrive in a 90 or 125 - that's the ideal setup for them. My space is limited, so a 75 would be the bare minimum. I've had some great deals with John this season, and these wild greens would be a fantastic addition.
