ImACoolGuy, Bulk up the Tiger Barbs or the Gold Barbs? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks my Gold Barbs have some fin/scale damage when I turn the light on in the morning. This morning, one of the gold barbs was the worst I've seen. Any advise? My 46 gallon tank is stocked as follows: 4 Gold Barbs 5 Tiger Barbs 2 Black Mollies 2 Platys...

I took some pictures with the water low in the tank. The level was too big for the job. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi fish wrangler, It's a 4' level. I got that one so it spanned the width of the tank. More than half of it hangs over the front of the tank when I'm checking front to back though. The bottom of the stand is a solid piece of plywood. The tank looks fine when full and is stable. Even when a...

I set up a new 46 gallon bow front tank yesterday. After filling I noticed the waterline was just slightly off. I got a level today and checked the tank both side to side and front to back. Below are pictures from the level. The first is the tank itself, the second is left to right, and the...

Thanks!

I have 10 RCS in my tank. Most of them have developed a yellow patch on their back right behind their head. At first I thought it may be the egg sack. But, today I noticed the same yellow part on one one of the male shrimp. Now I'm not sure what it is. Anyone have any insight on this?

Looking for some snail/pest free java moss to attach to some new driftwood. If anyone has some to sell please let me know price + shipping to NY!

I'm looking for some nodes of Marsilea minuta to grow a carpet in my 29 gallon tropical freshwater tank. If anyone has some to spare please let me know! Let me know price + shipping to southern New York if possible. Thanks!

I'd suggest sand substrate with some varying height live plants and a nice background. Maybe some slate/lava rock etc... Or, possibly adding a large centerpiece of driftwood if that's more your style. Get creative with it! 90 gallons has so many possibilities.

Lower temperatures will slow bacterial growth while higher temperatures will promote it. That being said, almost any temperature suitable for fish keeping is fine for bacterial growth. If you do choose a high temperature make sure you have enough oxygenation. The higher the temperature, the...

That ph range is fine for neon tetras. Their preferred ph is actually 7.6. But, your tank's actual ph is less important than keeping whatever the ph is stable. Most fish can adopt to a wide range of ph as long as it is stable. But, many will suffer greatly if the fluctuation is great.

7 to 10 should be fine in your size tank. Just be sure to have adequate filter action. Neon tetras thrive in a gh of 110ppm. But, as the previous poster stated, they will adjust to the local water supply.
