It's only 20 gallons. Yes... I know about a spirit level, I was just to stupid NOT to use one when I first set up my tank. :blush: So... just leave it alone? That seems simple enough. Thanks guys.

So I've been reading about tanks cracking/bursting. A big contributer to that problem is not having you tank level. My tank isn't level. Everything seems to be ever so slightly leaning towards the front left corner. The back left corner is like 1-2mm off. The back right corner is about 2mm off...

So, in the past month I've noticed a white residue that has developed randomly on the inside of the tank glass. Just below the water line, in the middle of the glass, just above the gravel... etc... It's random. I've looked closely and it doesn't look like worms or anything, so I'm assuming it's...

I read somewhere that Cherry Barbs like to be alone or in pairs. I think I got that from Fishprofiles.com. So thanks for the correction. I have also heard the Honey Gouramis were okay in pairs, but I know each fish is different and many anabantoids will bully each other and sometimes other...

So I just got a 20 gallon high tank and I've got everything ready to be put together. All I need are plants and fish. I know what plants I'm going to get. They are all going to be low light. My problem is with the fish. After a lot of research I came up with this stock... but will this work...

Oh awesome! So when my cycle finishes, should I do a 100% water change so I don't hurt my fish? Also- right now my tank is up, all it has in it is water that's been dechlorinated with AquaSafe (removes heavy metals as well as dechlorinates). If I add copper to it, will my water dechlorinator get...

I'm starting a fishless cycle on my first tank. My boyfriends mom has a 55gal tank that she's had for YEARS. The tank looks healthy, the fish don't show signs of illness and have lived in the tank for at least 3 years. No new fish/plants have been added in at least 3 years. This seems like it...

I think I may be having the same problem. I have NO idea what to do... I have a 5.5 gallon tank with a Duetto 50 filter. It has gravel, silk plants and a rock structure I made (all aquarium safe rocks). The heater is a Hydor Theo that is set to 80ºF. The tank is going to house a betta. My pH is...

I've heard people call them Chinese Fighting Fish, Japanese Fighting Fish. Siamese Fighting Fish. Bettas. "Those fish that can live in the vase". "Those fish that fight each other". But as people said above, the correct terms are: Genus: Betta Species: Splendens Common Name: Siamese Fighting Fish

Oh yes, I'm most definitely going to cycle my tank first before any fish go in. Also, I've heard that you should "quarantine" your fish before you put them in the tank to make sure they aren't going to spread disease and what-not. How long should they be quarantined? Also, do the quarantine...

Hello All! I currently have one cambodian (whih/opaque body, red fins) living alone in a bowl. Her name is Shirley. I've read up and visited many pet stores looking for all the components of my dream tank :) I'd like to try a long 20 gal sorority tank. But I have a some questions... 1) In a...
