I have several tanks a 29g, 26g, 15g, 10g, and a few couple gallon tanks. Just browsing petco and saw lizards and geckos and thought how cool they were but my parents would never let me get a gecko or lizard but im sure i could get an aquatic newt of somesort. My question is; is there a fully...

Torpedo barbs?

My betta likes going into the weirdest places like behind the small filter, through tight plants, through holes in the decorations. As long as he can explore he should be good :) .

Its like when somethings for free, its too good to be true. Neons are beautiful yet they get sick very easily. Kinda sucks, ive lost quite a bit of money from the infamous NTD.

It doesnt look like its just that one spot, hes got some cuts on his dorsal, back, and lips. By the way melafix is to make the fish stronger and prevent disease and infection, its not really used to medicate a sick/infected fish. I would highly suggest spending some time researching if you wanna...

Maybe take a video? If its a quick flick like a twitch then its probably not good but if they do it slowly then who knows maybe theyre having a little fun.

I've had (still have some too) both neons, cardinals, and glowlights. The cardinals where i live (CT) are the most sensitive and i couldnt keep them a few days without a issue. The neons ive kept for a month or two maybe even three but something happened in my tank and they all caught ick when...

Most spots the tank usually leaks from are the bottom area near the trim. You could put silicone around the trim because if you've had the tank for awhile the silicones bond wont be too strong so resealing it might stop the leak. Otherwise if its on side (not the corners) then you cant do too...

I cant really see the pic but to me, its definitaly one of those.

They could be itching themselves because their skins irritated by some parasite or fungus. Do the fish look healthy?

Thats what my guess would be. My shark used to do that when i first got him and he does it pretty vigourously so i wouldnt be surprised if that wasnt the answer.

Thankfully the buyer on ebay sent my package in a next day air type shipping so it arrived today. I have lowered the temp to 76 and im treating the tank with my medication. I also took the filter cartridge out and did a 30% ater change. I noticed the tetras are sluggish but theyre still eating...

I got an ich breakout when i added some von rios to my 29g and noticed they spread ich to just about every fish in the tank so i ordered some liquid treatment (forgot the name but reviews said it was a good product) and the shipping said it will arrive on the 30th. My question is how long can...

Yeah that's what I read but I also read that people can keep them in a 75 gallon tank with no problem. What do you think about the betta?   I think the betta would be fine, you do have alot of bottom dwellers though. So they might mess around with the frogs, otherwise i think itd be fine. Just...

I had a huge growth spurt in my tank with all my plants and they grew like crazy then they all stopped. And now they kinda died (they like melted.. if that makes sense). I think they started dieing because i was doing alot of water changes frequently since my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate went...
