I'm not extremely new to the hobby, but I'm no veteran. I have a 55gal over-filtered tank with a school of different colored tinfoil barbs as the main attraction. But my question is this: I have a fish that was sold to me when I first started keeping fish. He was sold to me as a convict cichlid...

Well with my new found love for aquariums i thought it best to share my little pals in a short clip on my planted tropical aquarium. Hope you like it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExS-nDH2BL4&feature=youtu.be

Hello, I had a quick question about adding new fish to my tank. I have a 55gal and wanted to add 2-4 new fish to my tank. I currently have dension barbs, angelfish, neon tetras, boeseman rainbowfish, and a pleco. They all love each other. But I went on vacation recently and some of my fish died...

I contacted a guy who has lots of experience with many different fish, and I asked him if it is ok to keep a Red-Tailed Shark with my list.... he said it's risky but you can try it. Also said something about its individual personality. I don't know if I want to take the risk though... Is the...

I have 2 tanks.   Tank 1    100L :  6 glowlight tetras, 4 guppies, 4 red eye tetras, 2 golden balloon rams, 2 penguin tetras and one Melanistius Corydoras ohhh and one snail   Tank 2     40L :  10 Guppies   I need to keep the glass free of algae does anyone know of any good community fish that I...

It's been a long time since I last posted, so I figured that I was long overdue for an update here.    I've moved past breeding my guppies and now my column tank is going to be fully stocked. I would love to take pictures of my fish, but my camera is too slow to take a decent picture of them.   ...

Hi!   I just joined this fun forum. I am not a complete new person to fish as I have worked with fish a lot in my life. However I wouldn't call myself a professional. Anyways, I am excited to get back into the hobby at my new place.    I am working on trying to get a 20 gallon tank (the one I...

     Hey everyone, I have a tank that's just 2 months old but it's after going through a lot of ups and downs, literally.. After a rough fish-in cycle and facing some deaths, fish fighting, ick, eye eating, etc..  I feel like my tank is FINALLY at the point where it's stable and everyone in...

So, after month of waiting to be messed about a final time I thought my dreams of a bigger tank were shattered. And then I saw this beauty on Facebook. ( won't let me post it as it's too big, will try from the laptop later) basically it's a 4ft tank, stand and all the trimmings for £100. I...

     Hey there everyone, I am fairly new to having a tank and only getting the initial cycling process near the end now.. It was a fish-in cycle, with a couple losses on the way but not many.      I have a 29 gallon tank with 3 plants in it at the moment. Here's a picture:      Inside are 8...

For about a year and a half I maintained two tanks in my house. I know many of you get the "tank bug" and have a lot more tanks than that. But, for me, the on going maintenance of two tanks took away some of the enjoyment of fish keeping.   I was maintaining a 26 gallon / 98 liter community, and...

Hi So it has been quite a long time since I have kept fish, recently I got 6 platies for my tank. I wasnt trying to breed them so I chose them randomly, sure enough I ended up with 3 males and 3 females (one of which could be a late developing male, i cant really tell, but we will just stick...

hi, so as the title reads, i have found a local breeder who sells female bettas for a pound a piece, i was wondering if they would do well in a community set up or best to have a species only tank? thanks in advance

Just wanted to share my 10 gallon Buddah Zen Garden tank, this will be a tetra community tank. My first tank in awhile and Im super pleased with it! Tell me what you think :) Just got done with my cycling process and will be adding fish soon!

Hey guys!   So I need help for stocking suggestions (those who had helped a few months ago may recognise me. I'm back again, but this time have a few measurements changed. :) )   Here is my tap water quality:    Anyway, I need some ideas on what fish I should stock. I would like a community...

Hi! I am getting a 50 gallon tank very soon and I'm wondering if this stocking is alright?  tank dimensions: 48 1/4"L x 12 3/4"W x 20"H filters: Tetra whisper EX70, Tetra Whisper 10-30i   8x Panda Cory 1x peppermint pleco 2x german blue ram 1x angelfish* 6x cherry barbs 2x honey gourami 3x...

So finally posting pics up!     My setup: Fluval Roma 200 2x T8 (6500k + 10000k) + 2' LED bar APS 1000EF ext filter (Awesome filter by the way!) Air pump and stone (which I never have on...) 300W AquaZonic heater Fish:  4x Clown Loaches (3 Borneo, 1 saddle-stripe Sumatra) 8x Neon Tetra 3x...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.    I have a 30Gal tropical tank and will be upgrading to a 50Gal corner tank in a few weeks. Super excited! I am looking for some advice about interesting and peaceful fish I could add. I was thinking of adding a few larger fish to mix with my smaller...

I've noticed that my community tank, which houses my betta, is in desperate need of a bottom feeder or scavenger. Narcissus(the betta) is a bit of a pig and his tank mates are very similar in their eating habits. I try to get most of the food before it hits the gravel but Im not always...

Hi all,   I'm keen to get opinions on suitable tank mates for Discus.   My current set-up: 200L tank, 2 striped Dora, 2 guppies (at least what I was told were guppies although mine are extremely "square" looking) and a Golden Loach (that I hate) - These fish all came with my tank and were not...
