hey all, I wanna get a background paper thing for the back of my tank and was wondering if black or blue would make the colors pop out more. On one hand fish stores always seem to use blue as the backgrounds but i would have assumed black makes the colors pop more. its gonna be a bare bottom...

its gonna be a one fish tank, i dont plan on having any other fish or plants, just that one which is why i was asking.

i know you have to quarantine fish but do you have to quarantine them if its gonna be the only thing in the tank?

nothing for sure im not an expert on floating stuff, but that looks like what happens when the water isnt getting stirred. A film-like substance covers the top eventually. Do you have a filter that agitates the surface if the water?

Alright guys so I lost 2 of my fish to jumping while I was doing a water change :/ my tank is a 38 gallon with various caves and hiding places, right now all it has is a bristlenose pleco and a Senegal bichir, My tank is more suited for South American cichlids (I mainly keep South American or...

The serpaes will eat the babies and I’m surprised they haven’t shredded the guppies already

Are there any on amazon that you would trust? Also how do you get them ready for the tank? They won’t harm the fish will they?

What kind of botanicals would you recommend? I have cattappa leaves if needed (sorry for spelling) I could also change the substrate if needed as this is just gravel and probably not suited to plants or lowering ph. But if I change it I’d prefer for it to be a darker substrate, thank you

So is that a no for the channoides? Imbellis was my last choice out the 4. I just don’t like how their tails look, I’m fine with frozen but are you sure I can’t do channoides? Are they finicky or just not suited to aquarium life?

Hey all, I wanna get a wild betta but I’ve never gotten one before. I’ve been close bet never close enough, well I finally have my tank and it’s ready for a betta but I don’t know which betta species would be easiest in there. It’s a 5 gallon bowfront tank. With black substrate and a good filter...

My mollies did that and you seem to have a lyretail molly which has fins that are longer so the fins should be fine. My mollies were perfectly fine and they did that time to time. I ended up using them as feeders anyways

Hey guys, I have a betta and I’m feeding him what I fed my old betta which is small api cichlid pellets. They seem to work good and it’s what I feed every betta I’ve ever gotten (3 or 4) but I want to use a food more for bettas like for health and definitely color as this time I’ve picked a very...

I’m getting a 5 gallon aquarium soon, what can I have in the tank. I have some amazon frogbit from one of my ither tanks because it’s growing in rlly fast but anything would be a good help. I would do a wild better but I don’t know what would do well in there. Thanks ?

Hey so I’m not new to fish but I’m new to plants, I have a red wolf in a 40 breeder and I need to know what kind of fertilizer would be best to use with my amazon frogbit. I don’t want anything that might risk my red wolf fish being in danger but my frogbit I fear might start dying. Tell the...
