That’s mind boggling... Is the centerpiece the snail or the puffer? That’s the mother of all snailkind. I’ll invest in a heater then if it’ll positively impact my puffer “Angry Midget”. Also, could I ask what the floating plant you have is? I can’t tell whether it’s frogbit or maybe dwarf water...

Holyyyy, I’m so jealous... Your plants look so luscious. What’s that massive snail?!? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big! Water changes are a huge pain but I do like interacting with my fish so I don’t really mind them. However, despite this I will always try to prioritize my fish’s...

Got it, I keep seeing 5 gall so I think It’s safe to assume that this is the bare minimum for a single DP. I may just try driving around tm or wait until the dollar per gal sale. All the big chain pet stores and such are just soooo far away.

God I’m so stupid. Idk why I didn’t think of this... Must’ve been too nervous to think straight. Well I just got back from a local gas station because there are no other stores within drivable distance around me still open at 1 AM. At the Gas station I bought this really really ugly but viable...

So a friend had a pea puffer but since it killed most his chili rasbora he was planning on giving it back. Me being myself told him that I could keep it instead and so he gave it to me. I only have a makeshift .5 gallon glass vase with a mini filter and heater. I put in an order for a 5 gallon...

Good day, I have a cycled 10 gallon tank with a 60 gallon air pump, 20 gallon sponge, and adjustable HOB filter which can do 90 GPH. My tank will have either salvinia, red root floater, dwarf water lettuce or duckweed. I will only keep TWO species of the plants. As for the fish I really want...

I purchased an API freshwater master kit just recently. I don’t believe that anything but Ammonia, Nitrate/Trite, pH, and hard level pH are included so i will be sure to check out what you just mentioned. Also, thank you for the website i’ll be looking at it right this second!

If your tank is unplanted I say you should go with the shrimp because they don’t mainly eat algae and will be seen often searching through the substrate for any flakes that your fish have left behind. They are very effective cleaners and you will actually be able to see when they eat because the...

My pH is 8.0... Badis can’t really prosper in those parameters is what I just realized so I think a sparkling or dwarf gourami would be better. I understand and may just do as you stated once I do further research.

Good morning everybody, I have a 10 gallon tank which just finished cycling and I was wondering about stocking. In the tank there will be salvinia and dwarf water lettuce. The fish will be 1 scarlet badis, 8 chili rasbora, 2 galaxy danio, 2 endler male guppies and either a single nerite snail...

Well... they may just be as they seem due to overeating. I wouldn’t pay it much mind, however keep an eye on them for color-loss, gasping for air, or difficulty swimming because those are symptoms of swim bladder disorder. Most likely this isn’t a big problem, refrain from feeding the little...

All the advice given thus far is completely valid and reasonable... But remember at the end of the day all fish have their own unique personalities and will bring their own traits into your tank. When purchasing fish make sure you get ones which don’t seem like bullies and don’t seem like...

I would like you to stay clear of oto... they are fish which are probably not for a beginner. Most of them are wild caught and therefore some may come with disease. Sometimes, they don’t get enough food and starve to death. They also are schooling fish so in my opinion if you want oto then you...
