    I had to drain my tank and disinfect, whatā€™s the best way to recycle the aquarium fast while having fish already in it?

    how do you cycle a new aquarium while already having fish in the tank? How to make sure the fish donā€™t die with the fluctuating of the tank getting established again?

    Advice on a nigh-on invincible cherry barb

    Here's the background: I recently bought my first tank after an introduction to goldfish that went very well when I was younger, given that my own goldfish outgrew the tank and was granted the freedom of an aunt's pond. A 45 litre tank seemed like a sensible option for the table I had, and as...

    Hey guys I'll keep this brief. I'm starting an African Cichlid tank in a 29 gallon. I attached the heater to the back-side of the tank, with the suction cups on either side of the heater. A week later, I look at the heater's instructions more thoroughly and realize the first instruction says...
