Hello everyone! My son and I started a fish tank months ago and it’s been awesome. But we were at the fish store the other day and my son really wants to add a dwarf African frog to our community tank. From everything I’ve read online our fish and Nerite snails are compatible with a dwarf frog...

I should also note post water change I added stress guard and api stress coat

Hello everyone? So my guppies tail is not looking too good. I did my weekly water change yesterday and the guppy seemed fine to me. Then today I was shocked to see how awful his tail looks. Water parameters were all good before and after the water change. I have not noticed any fin nipping or...

Ha, well I wasn’t joking, my son was bouncing off the walls when I told him we were getting a background for his fish tank. He loves that it would make his fish feel safer (I haven’t told him we’re getting more guppies until we get the quarantine tank set up). Thank you for the tropica website...

Thank you for the reply and all the advice. That’s kind of what I had I mind is letting my son pick out a few more colorful guppies. He loves his guppies!!! And yes please, I’ll take any advice any of you are willing to share. I’ve learned a lot in my short time being on this forum. I will...

Hello and thank you all for the great responses. I really do appreciate it! My tank is a 20 g (hob aqua clear 50 filter) decorated with Java fern, Java moss, Anubias, frog bit and driftwood. I do 25% water changes weekly My current stock is: - 3 male guppies - 2 male endler livebearers - 12...

Hello everyone, I have 3 male guppies in my community tank and I’m considering adding a few more. I’m just wondering about how many male guppies can be kept together. I don’t want to keep females because I don’t want any fry. I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews online and there’s a lot of...

Hello everyone, so I added 4 more Pygmy Corydoras, bringing my stock up to 12. Thank you for the suggestion we just love watching these little guys swim around the tank together. I did have another question. Instead of adding a small schooling fish I was thinking of adding 2-3 more guppies. I...

Thank you for your reply. I am new to the hobby and was quite worried about my bacteria. I’ll be switching to a natural gravel tomorrow morning.

It’s an aqua clear 50 on a 20 g tank. I’ll be getting some new substrate and replacing it asap. I appreciate your replies.

Hello everyone. Today I noticed my gravel is losing its color. It’s not the look I’m worried about but I just worry if it’s going to harm my community tank. If I should replace the gravel I imagine I’d have to be careful not to disrupt my beneficial bacteria? Thank you in advance for the help

Haha I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t squished a few already. And you’re right, the fish do enjoy the snack. But if they’re beneficial to the tank and Pygmy's keep the eggs in check then I’ll let them be. Thank you for your input!
