  A lot of people in the aquarium hobby need to use a decent dechlorinater because most of us hobbyists are using municipal water (city water) and the city tends to add chemicals like chlorine and chloramine to the water to make it safe for humans and animals to drink or use, so we need a dechlorinator for our aquarium hobby to make the water we use safe for the aquatic animals we keep to live in. Throughout the years of me keeping fish, I have noticed a huge trend of liquid dechlorinators and their massive price tag that almost makes me reconsider the hobby all together. Luckily over the years, I have stopped buying premade liquid dechlorinators and searched for dry, powder dechlorintors, and my favorite has to be Seachem's Safe. Seachem's Safe powder dechlorinator has the distinctive smell, and you are able to buy it in very large quantities to stretch your hobby dollar. Isn't Prime different then Safe? The short answer to this question is; Not really. They essentia

Green Water Goldfish Breeders Co-op This has been a work in the making for the last 2 years, but, I am finally pleased to reveal what exactly Green Water Goldfish is! As you may know, if you have read the  About Green Water Ranchu  info page, that Green Water Goldfish is the subsidiary company to Green Water Ranchu, and Green Water Goldfish is a dedicated division of Green Water Ranchu for amateur goldfish breeders located within the United States. Green Water Ranchu is the FIRST commercial goldfish seller to have a dedicated domestic goldfish breeders network. This network is known as the  Green Water Goldfish Breeders Co-op. The Green Water Goldfish Breeders Co-op is a network  where likeminded goldfish breeders are able to sign up with Green Water Ranchu, and then are able to sell the goldfish that they have bred, for any price they choose, using whatever shipping service they prefer, whenever they want via greenwaterranchu.com while using the Green Water Goldfish branding.

The Marimo Marimo Moss balls are by far my most favorite aquatic plant because I find it the most unusual of any other aquatic plant on the market. Not only do I personally collect them, but the likeness of the Marimo is used within my company logo. I really adore these curious plants, and I have a species only tank that contain just Marimo. I love it! This page is meant to provide the history of the Marimo Moss ball, generally speaking. This is by no means a care guide. The Marimo is a rare growth form of the species in which the algae grow into large green 'balls' with a velvety appearance. Found in a number of lakes in the northern hemisphere, namely Japan, Iceland, Scotland, Estonia and in Russia, however, because of their popularity in the modern aquarium keeping hobby, their natural colony populations have been declining. Aegagropila linnaei have been a protected species in Japan since 1920s, and in Iceland since 2006. The species can still be found in several

U.S. Made Fish Food for the U.S. Bred Fish! Why do you feed NLS Fish foods exclusively to your fish? The short answer is, I DON'T! The long answer is a bit more complex then that... I am normally pretty tight-lipped about this topic because what people think of a product is entirely subjective. I don't speak much about what I choose to feed my fish because in all honesty, in this hobby, its personal preference. There is no right food, and wrong food to feed your fish, AND there will always be people who like to feed certain products to their fish... cat, dog, reptile, animal... child, and there will be brands and products that others will HATE -- and... thats OK! What it all boils down to, is what your fish will eat. It doesn't matter what kind of food that you buy your fish, or how much money it costs, or where the product originated from if your fish won't eat it. I am the typical fishkeeper for being a "brand loyalist". It doesn't matter what

This void must be filled! Too long has it been for anyone to be without being able to go onto YouTube and search for a video of some Japanese Ranchu (AKA Top-View Ranchu / TVR) and get substantial search results so that the non-fish keeper can appreciate their movements. I know it is not very common for people to own Japanese Ranchu in America in contrast to Japan where they can be found in nearly any fish store in nearly every prefecture, but, since the day I started in this venture of ornamental goldfish, and my complete obsession with Ranchu goldfish, the Japanese Ranchu have always been my favorite, and it has been my ultimate goal to get my hands on some, and breed them. I cannot begin to express in words what the Japanese Ranchu do to me mentally -- every time I stop to look into my TVR ponds, I can not help but be enamored with them and be hypnotized by their movements. They are very therapeutic to me. They literally have changed my life, and they are truly special to me
