    What is she doing?

    It almost looks like she's drinking the water. She's not doing it constantly; she'll take a break then go right back to it. I hope she's okay.

    Pet Fish keeps attacking the Filter Outlet

    So... I have a filter outlet, and my large predatory cichlid [really strong] likes to attack it, and locks onto it with his mouth. How do you stop a fish from doing something? How do you train a fish? That's all I want to know. (If he does this again)

    Mollies playing in bubbles?

    So I got four (4) mollies several weeks ago and added them to my established tank. Cycled tank and no fighting, added some seachem stability and everything went well. My three females are all pregnant, and this leads to question one. 1. Will my male pestering the females hurt them at all or is...

    Pygmy Cory Feeding And Behavior?

    I got 6 pygmy corys for my 10 gallon, planted betta tank yesterday. They're super tiny (hardly half and inch), extremely active, and everyone gets along great so far (my betta has had tankmates before so I knew all would be well). I only have two concerns:    1) The corys rarely shoal. Generally...

    Do Bettas Normally Act This Way?

    So I've started putting a mirror up to my tank for my little betta to flare at. Sometimes he completely ignores it. I was wondering if that was normal? Because I've always had the impression that when bettas see "another" betta they get all aggressive and flarey.

    Narcissus The Great!

    I have had my betta for roughly a month now and as much as I love him I'm convinced he is one of those "special" animals. Narcissus (the fish) has next to nothing as far as an aggressive attitude goes. I'm still not sure exactly what TYPE of betta he is, he was labeled as a double tail but I am...

    Proper Behavior For Peppered Or Spotted Corydora

    I recently began stocking fish into my new aquarium to try and keep the bacteria alive and decided on some corys to be the first addition. After 48 hrs in the tank the two "peppered" corys started to really show differing behavior specifically when I fed them. It seems that while one has...

    Pygmy Corydoras Odd Behavior

    So i just got 6 new pygmy corydoras for my 10 gal tank and i was just wondering if there were any signs or things they might do if they are not doing so great.  I know that if there is not enough oxygenation in the water then you will see them go to the top and and almost bite at the air, which...
