    Moving To A Bigger Tank

    I've had my fish for just a little over a week now. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I got them and the tank that I learned a 1.5 gallon tank was much too small. I'm looking to upgrade to a 20 gallon as soon as I have the money and can clear out the space. I've been looking around on the...

    30 Gallon, Mixed Wrong Fish

    I know now to read about things myself before heading to purchase fish. My daughter and I relied on information from a Petsmart employee to recommend fish to add to our group of 2 cory catfish and 1 dwarf gourami (powder blue). They were calm and happy.    Now, our 30 gallon tank is home to 2...

    Cory Catfish

    Hey.   I'm planning a new aquarium. I want to know which kind of corydora catfish I should go with. Bronze, or peppered? There will be a lot of plants, and tank mates. Guppies, tetras, and danios. I want a fish that will be active, friendly, and fun to watch. Thanks.
