    Revamped Fluval spec V Caridina shrimp tank

I know that I could also transfer stuff from another tank into the new tank for bacteria. Most resides in the filter, so can I transfer filter media? What I...

    Sick Betta

    I came home and my betta was at the bottom of his tank, not moving much and laying on his side. I changed his water two days ago, but he seemed fine earlier. I have moved him to a cup with new treated water and he is moving a bit more. Though he seems to swim to the top for a bit, then sink to...

    BLACK MOOR GOLDFISH TANK SIZE AND MATES?

    I am thinking about getting a Black Moor Goldfish. I was wondering what size of tank would be best and if a filter would be needed? At first I was thinking a 5 gallon tank with an air stone, but Iā€™ve seen several people saying they must have a 20 gallon at least? Would a 10 gallon tank be big...
