I have slowly been replacing all of my TopFin Filters with Aquaclears. The last tank needing done is my 29 Gallon and I was planning on waiting til it was fully stocked and settled. Today I woke up to a rattling noise and a burning smell and it was from my topfin 30 filter. t was full of water...
I just got 6 female swordtails for my male. They are currently in the q tank. One was heavily pregnant and began dropping fry immediately. Since being added she barely comes our of hiding and has been having long stringy white discharge. She is eating but not flakes. I have seen her grazing on...
My 10 gallon ADF tank has been overrun with both ghost and cherry shrimp. I started with 3 of each and only lost 1 RCS. I knew it was possible for the RCS to multiple but not the ghost. At first I was able to keep up by catching them and feeding them to the inhabitants of my other tanks but I...
Getting my tank stocking list finalized. I am going to do it slowly but I jut want to get the full picture before I start. It is hard to see but I have several tunnels hidden behind the arch for cover.

I made it so there was no sharp angles because I was afraid the sharp bends would impede a fish from getting in and out. It is probably unnecessary with such flexible fish but I was worried a loach would...
Honestly he doesn't look stuck. Just put some of his favorite food outside the pump and he should come out. I have a guppy who swims in my pumps outtake every time I turn it off.
I am think of putting a cave network under the sand of my new 29 gallon using some PVC for my YoYo Loaches. Would 1.5" PVC be large enough? I have not been able to find sizing information on their diameter.
Each cave is going to be a 3" piece of with cap then a reducer to a Z connector with an...
I would not recommend keeping a betta in a bowl not just because it is almost impossible to keep them cycled but because the rounded nature of a bowl can stress out any fish living in it. It would be like looking through a fish-eye lens all the time. It can cause glass surfing and self fin...
