questions

Hi! I have a 10gal tank with 4 false julii’s, a dwarf gourami, and an otocinculus (i know they do better in groups, i just haven’t found a shop to get some from that aren’t half dead in the store). The tank is heavily planted and fully cycled! The fish that are in there are doing good. My...

Hello everyone! Well I have a few questions as my husband messed up really bad. While I was on holiday he wanted to surprise me with an aquarium. He went to Pets At Home and bought a 30L Biorb Tube. They advised him from the pet shop to fill it up and add the Water Conditioner and the...

I have had fish for about 2 years and they usually all died after 6 months. I always got 5 livebearers at a time for a 20 gal tank. Whenever I clean it out, there is a bunch of poop and particles that rise from within the rocks, however my ammonia levels have remained at 0, as well as basically...

I plan to start a 75 gallon planted aquarium, does anyone know a good brand of aquarium lights to use for it? Also does anyone know any hardy plants that can sustain a bit of wear and tear from a large fish?   

Hello, I just made an account today, but I've been coming here to look at people's advice for a while now... I have a lot of questions:   1.) Is there an age requirement to have an account? 2.) I tried to change my picture using the Gravatar choice, but it would not update... Is this because my...

Hello, my name is Liam and I am semi experienced in the fish tank world, as I have a healthy 10 gallon tank with Dwarf Gouramis and White Mountain Minnows. That is a very basic tank that has fake plants and gravel substrate, but I am planning on making a 20 Gallon Long planted tank in the...

Hi, everybody! I'm new here on this forum and to fishkeeping. I've been doing some research into betta fish and having been seriously considering getting one. I just want to be prepared and know some more before I go through with the process.   I have a 40 gallon tank (it measures 36L by 18W by...

Okay so i am new here, created an account so i could get some insight on something my fish has been doing for a couple days now. I have 2 Mollies, and 4 Neon Tetras in a 29 gallon tank, its been cycled for 6 months and i have had no major issues with it. I started out with the Tetras since they...

Hi there! I bought these fish from a store near me, and they are very cool looking. However, nobody at the store even knew what they were called. Hopefully somebody here can help me :) I can post more pictures upon request. I am not referring to the silver finned tetras. The other guys with a...

So, I really love the African Dwarf Frogs in my local pet store. I am considering getting some so I have a few questions:   Do they need a filtered tank/moving water? Do they do well with peaceful fish (platy/corydora) ? What do they eat? Do they ever need to come out of the water?    And any...

I have always had Platys, however never knew much about the hobby. My platys have always been happy and healthy, but I want to get more serious about the hobby because I want to start breeding/selling.   10 gallon tank   First:  What should the pH be for platys. (Please no super technical terms...

So I have a tank with two not-yet-full-grown angelfish, a goldfish, 6 neon tetras, a bottom feeder and a snail. How much should I be feeding them everyday? I'm just not sure.

Hey everyone! Get ready for a wall of text and a fair few questions.     I am in my final year of college, and keeping a fish as a pet is kind of a tradition here. So last January, armed with good intentions and very little knowledge, I picked up a little red betta I named Jarvis. For the last...

Hello, while I do know a bit about fish thanks to growing up surrounded by fish tanks, I've never had my own. I've fed my parent's tank and often discuss the fish with them. So I do understand compatibility, water quality, temperature, various diseases etcetera. My mother has always told me that...

Hey everyone so at the moment I have a 10 gallon tropical fish tank and I want to upgrade to a 20 gallon but I don't want to restart the ammonia cycle is there away to do that? Please respond.

after I rehomed my pearl gourami from my biorb 105, ( 105 liters/ 28 gallon ) I began the hunt for a new centerpiece type fish. My pearl gourami was a stunner so I was looking for another gourami type fish. Many people suggested honey gouramis. I googled and didn't find much info. I have several...

Ok, I don't know if I can put this here but if I can't just delete it. How do you ship a angelfish pair? In one bag? In two bags? I just can't figure this one out. Help?

I've currently got a 10g tank and I've been thinking about getting a couple bettas once the fish I have now pass on. I want two males because they tend to be more showy and because I'm not looking to breed bettas (which would inevitably happen if I had both males and females). Obviously I'd need...
