Recently I had a flowering pot that was outside and got knocked over by the wind and is now broken. I wanted to put this in my betta's tank as some hiding spots and some cool decorations for her. It has had soil in it, but none with fertilizer that I know of.    How can I clean this to make sure...

So over the past 3 weeks i have had two guppies die. One was male, the other female. I haven't added anything new and the tank is cycled and has no out of the ordinary spikes in readings.  Any ideas? They are probably 6-8 months old, both at breeding age.  The male I saw the day before looking a...

So I would like to feed my fish some mosquito larvae, but I am worried about chemicals. I would just place a bucket of declorinated water outside and wait for like a week. But what happens if they spray for mosquitoes? I know it doesn't kill every single one, but if it did get sprayed and my...

I am almost done cycling my new 10 gallon tank. I plan on getting more neons and a platy to add in my 38 gallon aquarium. I can't wait to get them. Water change here I come! (I can't get the nitrite level photo to load, but I am in between the .25 and the .50.

I have five red cherry shrimp, two males and three females. I have had these guys for 2-3 months. I have never seen a female carry any eggs. I see them all the time, so I am not sure whats up.   Any suggestions? 

I have an algae problem. My tank is in direct sunlight sometimes and algae just grows like crazy! I have two tanks, a 7 gallon tank with a female betta and some live plants and a 38 gallon with guppies and neon tetras. I would like to get a snail to help out. I don't want one that will be able...

So I have guppies, and they are starting to drop large amounts of fry. They started breeding about two months ago and now the batches are pretty big. I know it may seem mean, but I do need a fish that can help control the population. I have guppies and neon tetras. I have tried selling some but...

Hey guys, so I was wondering if any of you knew how to make a sponge filter? 

So while checking out my tank before lights out i saw what appears to be three eggs on my sword plant. The person i got the plants from had snails, but i removed any and looked for eggs but only saw two small snails. Anyways, they just barely appeared. Any idea what they could be, the only egg...

I was wondering if ghost shrimp and cherry shrimp can live in the same tank? I have five small cherry shrimp and would like to add more shrimp if they don't get much larger.

I have a fairly young female Betta, and today was the first day that she actually flared! I am super excited, she loves the new plants I put in and is getting more later today. She has done really well and her colors are coming out nicely. The first photo is the best picture I could get of her...

So I recently bought some plants from another tank owner and he had some snails. Are the snails good to have? Or should I get rid of any snails that I see?  I also bought some red cherry shrimp, I have a fairly aggressive fish, a white skirt tetra.  She has nipped at them a few times, but could...

Do neon tetras court before they breed? I have had them breed once, but I only saw the eggs drop on my plant.     I have one female and two males, the female has been fat with eggs for a week or so and I have been waiting for her to drop them.  One male is staying with her and keeps on bumping...

About 2 weeks ago 2 of my female guppies gave birth.  I only have young guppies and they are finally at breeding age!  Today right before cleaning the tank and replacing evaporated water I saw some weird movement.  Then I saw a guppy fry! After cleaning I saw another one! So it is possible to...

My tank is 40 US Gallons  it is 3x1x1.5 (LxWxH  in feet) There are guppies, neon tetras and a white skirt tetra.

So I am going to the petstore probably sometime this week.  What kind of kit do I need and what are a few names of the good ones that really work? 

Tank size: 40 US Gallon or 151 liters   I want to sell some of the guppies that are currently in my tank. What do you guys think is a fair price for them? They are just about breeding size, the largest have had babies once and are about 1 1/2 weeks along. But I will probably keep those females...
