Hi. I was wondring about what I should place in my grandparents' freshwater tank. It used to house koi and goldfish for a couple of years but the fish recently died. They are looking for tropical fish that start off small but slowly grow bigger, and are relatively easy to take care of. The...

I didn't actually use fish. :P I was just saying the type of cycling I know about.

The filter spreading a "Bacteria Colony" to be able to break down waste. Is it also good to use live fish in the process?

I was about to choose rasboras but they went out of stock at my local pet store. I'm also afraid to go there because they give me VERY bad advice I do have a little log with a bunch of holes for hiding places. The problem is I looked up what other people said about mosquito rasboras and they...

(I joined today, so I don't know much yet) I currently have a red veiltail male betta I bought from Petsmart. I had it for 3 months but today I noticed that it sorta tilts sideways to the right and swims backwards. It also flaps its fins moderately fast but is pretty slower at swimming than...
