    Calling all koi/pond keepers. Shubunkin disease?

    Iā€™ve been keeping koi for a few years and have been highly fortunate never to have a casualty. I recently did a 50% water change and hoovered the sludge from my pondā€”the usual clean-up after winter. I have replaced some filters by dipping them in the previous pond water. The pond is 2.4m x...

    Killifish for 6.6g or Smaller Tank(s)?

    Recently I've been thinking about stocking my 6.6g long tank again, and decided I wanted to try something other than Betta splendens for once. While dwarf puffers, anabantoids, and possibly dwarf rasbora have been considered as possible residents, are there any killifish species that do well in...

So eventually I got a whole kit for a 20-gallon at PetSmart (filter, food, heater, net, etc...) and at...

    Fishless cycling help

    Hello! I started my fishless cycling process about 2 weeks ago. I added the right amount of Dr Tims ammonia to my 8G tank. Iā€™m also adding nitrifying bacteria every so often too. The ammonia reading is about 3.0ppm and my nitrite is around 2.0ppm . Does this mean the cycling is working? And if...

    My Coryā€™s gills are looking a bit pink and Iā€™m afraid the betta may be picking on him.

    Iā€™m relatively new to owning fish. Iā€™ve done lots of research and I asked the people at my local pet store about what fish are suitable to live with a betta in a 10 gallon. I got one cory as was recommended for my tank size, three baby African dwarf frogs, four or five ghost shrimp, and one male...
