Dimensions are: 30-3/16"L x 12-1/2"W x 18-3/4"H   And yes I know the tank is too small for two dojos, but unfortunately I didn't know this until AFTER buying them for my old 10 gallon :/ When I did this I was completely new and didn't do as much research as I should have so now I'm kind of stuck...

LOL hate to bring back an old topic but you were so right.... a major wave of algae hit my tank like 2 weeks ago and it's EVERYWHERE! But I don't mind scrubbing it off every now and then :] Though it's rather irritating trying to get it off the leaves of the plants...

Oh gosh I feel like I already know what I'm about to be told... Amazon Puffers are fin-nippers and too aggressive to keep with other fish! It's what I've been hearing about all other puffers but I've found that Amazon Puffers are labeled as "peaceful" by a few different sources. I'm HOPING that...

Alright so I've seen some people doing their own DIY light fixtures using CFL bulbs for their aquariums. I was thinking I would try this since it's super cheap and I am also cheap so I'm not about to spend a ton of money on lighting. I'm new to all of this so of course I bought tons of...

Okay so I am looking to move my two dojo loaches to a larger tank because clearly 10 gallons for two of them is way too small. The problem is, I can't find any good tanks online... I've only really browsed around on the Internet so I'm not really sure if they have anything different at my local...

Oh gosh, that's so cute!!<3 Well glad to know that she's most likely not pregnant or sick- even worse! I think I may worry about my fish a liiiittle too much sometimes ;P

Okay so here are some horrible pictures that I took haha. A lot of them actually were not blurry but ironically enough the clearer ones didn't show the circles as much. I circled the location on one of the pictures just in case: I hope you can see what I'm talking about! Even I didn't...

Okay so unfortunately I don't have any water test results for my tank yet, I will get them ASAP but for now I'm wondering if anyone has any idea as to what might be going on with my female golden dojo. Her name is Noodle and I've had her for about... 5 or 6 months? And more recently I bought a...

Ah good, I figured I needed more water changes so I've been changing about 30% every other day, is that fine? I figure it's better to be gradual... I have a lot of time on my hands since its summer haha Yes I heard that they were quite the escape artists! Good thing they can survive out of...

Ahh... you're SO right I had never thought of it like that before! D: Could I still wait a few more months to a year? He is pretty small compared to the rest of the tank thus far... Is there any way I could prevent the deteriorating water quality or growth inhibiting hormones for a little while...

I recently bought a golden dojo/weather loach to put in my (nearly) brand new 10 gallon tank. Unfortunately I am a new fish keeper and made the mistake of assuming that since my fish was purchased from a smaller tank than mine, that it wouldn't grow much larger. I never really thought about...

Yeah I know, my 10 gallon certainly won't hold him when he gets bigger! I think I will probably have a year or so until I have to worry about him hopefully :] However, I've heard that dojos in an aquarium setting only get to be around 5" so I'm crossing my fingers that he won't grow TOO big...

Okay so TECHNICALLY I'm not getting new fish quite yet. I would just like to have some knowledge of a few things under my belt before I go crazy and buy the wrong kinds of fish. I will be looking to purchase more as soon as I raise my molly fry and find a new home for them after the summer is...

I am VERY new to fish keeping besides a whole lot of betta fish when I was in elementary school that I kept in an awful 1 gallon bowl with bright neon gravel. (Not at the same time of course haha.) I hadn't had a fish in a while until one of my friends happened to rescue 2 common goldfish from a...

Well, unfortunately he passed away about 20 minutes ago :( I promptly removed him from the tank so the others wouldn't start picking at him... I read somewhere (I don't know if this is true) that said that parasites normally do not kill their hosts... But I know I probably shouldn't rule that...
