Hi Guys, here is a pic of my 60L Fluval Aquarium I have more photos on my new website www.soggyfriends.com

Hellooooo! First post in nearly 6 years (probably!) Im trying to plumb a sump. Local plumbing shops have palmed me off, local Aquarium shops directed me to said plumbing shops and videos and threads I've come across haven't given me the confidence/answers i need. Has someone a good guide to...

I started my first tank in August and did a fish in cycle. I actually posted some questions here because I never quite showed typical nitrogen cycle stages. Basically I never saw it happen, but it obviously did and I have a 15 gallon tank with 10 glofish tetras and 4 golden otos all very happy...

Hi Everybody! I recently just moved my goldfish from my 45g tank to my new 125g tank and I'm undecided/unsure what I should put in my 45g tank. Do you have any suggestions? I'm pretty much good with anything fresh water. I was leaning towards either cichlids or angels. If I go with cichlids...

Hi everbody! I am here to learn about aquariums, and also to do my part to spread the knowledge I've accumulated. I don't have as much experience as many, but I have more experience than some. I currently have four tanks, all panted, ranging from low tech to high tech. I've had experiences and...

my red tailed shark has been acting strange for a couple days, two of my other fish(clown loaches) died and they were acting the same way. I don’t have a clue what’s wrong, I tested my water nitrate reads about 30, nitritereads .5-1.0, water hardness is very soft, chlorine is 0, total alkalinity...

hi everyone :) I’ve wanted a Goby for ages but I thought they were only for marine tanks, then I saw something about freshwater Gobies? Does anyone know if that’s actually a thing? I don’t really know anything about them other than they’re super fun to watch! Are they easy to look after...

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and this is my first time running an aquarium on my own. When I was younger my Dad and I had one together. I have a few questions for you! But first, a summary of my tank conditions. I have set up and cycled a 20 gallon (tall, not wide). I just put in two male...

Hi, im new to this site and desperately need help with one of my fish. Ive had a 10 gallon for a couple of months and one of my most recent additions is a pair of dalmatian mollies. One of them was rather small but thats likely just because hes young. I noticed the smaller of the pair resting on...

Hello! My fish Gill recently passed a couple days ago unexpectedly - and I don't know why. The day before his passing I had a water testing due to an unrelated issue and all my parameters were in perfect condition. My water is also at 75 degrees temperature in Fahrenheit. At the time I had...

I currently have 3 corydoras, a dwarf gourami, and a ctenopoma. They all get along fine so far. We are hoping to get some larger fish because our ctenopoma can get up to 6 in and will eat whatever fits in their mouth. I was thinking an angelfish and maybe a gourami or a few rams (ones that...

Hello, Looking at decorating my aquarium, tank accessories are pretty expensive. My neighbor currently has about a 100 pounds worth of Live Rock, which he's willing to sell for maybe 1/10th of the price in store or online. I've read some threads stating if you put the live rock in Bleach for...

I have a fairly new setup. A 55 gallon tank with mollies, ghost shrimp, couple algae eaters, and a mystery snail. Right off the bat I get ICK. Seems to be clearing up finally but several of my fish are not very active anymore. I'm kinda hoping those particular fish are just old and nearing their...

Salutations hobbiest. After months of debating whether I should get a lizard or fish I chose (drum roll please) Fish. I now have a 10 gallon for my female standard veiltail betta. After changing and rearranging I found she did well with the 2 cherry barbs and 3 albino cherries, where as she was...
