Okay thanks guys. Im heading to buy a new filter and heater now and ill look for the ones mentioned.

Okay... My heater on my 55 gallon aquarium has started not keeping the water temps at the right level. The water is always colder than it should be... Also my filter has quit working... Im still fairly new to fish keeping so i dont know which are good brands and which i should avoid...Can...

Here is the best i could get... The tank isnt green... Its the lighting or my camera.. Sorry LOL.

Just a basic black snail from Petsmart. Im not sure the name sorry

Sorry if this isnt where this goes.... My moms snail keeps having babies. She only has 1 adult snail. She wanted me to ask how/why it keeps reproducing when theres just the one adult. Im curious myself LOL. Anyone care to explain? Thanks! :)

Okay... I will give that a try. I didnt know how much to feed because my fish always acts like hes starving. LOL.

Okay... So i need to decrease the amounts fed? Here is what i feed my fish...

Hmmm i may be overfeeding... I give mine 3 pellets in the morning and 2 before bed. Is that too much? I also give shrimp once a week and a couple snails once a month instead of shrimp. Ohh and i vary the type of pellets every couple weeks because when i fed just one type for a while my fish...

It seems like the color changes overnight while the lights off. Hes bright by the afternoon and then gets dull agian at night. My RD actually taunts my dog LOL. If my pittie is laying on the bed and my RD sees her he goes insane. My fish has become a conversation piece mostly because of the...

Haha well thank you for helping me clear that up! :) So the males are more aggressive? Are they really territorial? My fish will charge at me or anything i put in the tank while cleaning or doing water changes. Ive been bitten i dont know how many times now.. And my mom helped once and is now...

Hmmmm.... Well i just looked under her and the pic on the right is what i saw. So is she a he? LOL There isnt the 2nd spot like on the fish on the left has.

How big are females vs males? My fish is going on 9 inches now. She was about 6-7 before i put her in the 55 gallon. I just distracted her long enough to measure her through the glass LOL. I know they can get to 12+ right? She was about 4 inches when i got her maybe a little less and ive had her...

Im not 100%. I was told her anal fins (i think) is how you tell??? How do i for sure check? Its impossible to get a good picture of her because she shimmys and tries to attack the camera through the glass or i'd post a picture here for help.

My RD is female from what i was told but shes developing a hump/lump on her forehead. Is that a male characteristic only??? She has turned bright orange on the front half of her body and her other half is pale and turning white. Is something wrong with my fish???? :-/

First fish was n is my Red Devil.
