We have 2 tanks. One for goldfish (had it about  a year) and a  freshwater had since April.   Last night we did a water change for the goldies, and I took out a few old plants (live) because the goldies end up snacking on them :) so I replace their snacks from time to time. I added a few of...

We have a 36 gallon with   5 gold mollies 4 bleeding heart tetras 2 emrald cat fish 1 african dwarf frog     We have read that mollies do better in brackish water, however we are concerned that brackish water might harm the others in the tank. We have gotten mixed advice from some pet store...

Thank you! Yes, the little molly seems healthy, just tiny. I kind of feel sorry for him. He is able to eat without issue, and no one in the tank bullies him. Ironically the guppy prefers to chase the larger mollies. My husband and I joke that from being chased in the very beginning the guppy has...

Hi all!   We have a 38 gallon tank with 5 gold mollies, 4 tetras, 2 emerald catfish, 1 african dwarf frog, and one guppy. I do not remember the exact guppy, but it is very very tiny, half inch at best.   When we bought the gold mollies back in April, one was quite tiny compared to the others...

I do not have an test strips left for the nitrite or nitrate. I use the liquid tester for ammonia as I have hear this is more accurate, but I have not been able to find a liquid tester for the other levels. I figured I'd pick up more in the next few days, since I did not think havok was going to...

We cycled in fish in because we did the beginners move of asking the pet strore which said as long as we run the tank for 48 hours emtpy we are fine And we originally had 4 silver mollies, but when 2 died a few days into the tank being set up, I did some googling and realized that we were now...
