I have a silver lyretail molly with behavior issues and an eating disorder. To sum it all up, it reminds me of a pregnant woman. Super mean to the other molly, really fat, and loves its food. But its been like that for a super long time, like 2 months. I used to have more mollies of its kind but...

I do.(: I just read the ingredients of some frozen fish food and went to seafood places around town asking for stuff that they were throwing out, usually they said yes. My fishes favorite is a mixture of grinded whole talapia, shrimp and veggies. Every once in a while I'd throw salmon in there...

Okay. Thanks. I read it and did a 50% pwc. Guess I'll be doing that for a few weeks.

Fish in. I didn't know there was such a thing as fishless cycle when I first bought the fish. (Another newbie not doing enough research, I know)

Its a 45g tank, I've only been cycling it for about a week, but I did put some seachem stability in there for 7 days (but from what I've read on here I doubt it did any good). I tested my tap waters ph too. It was 7.6.

I went to the LFS today to get my water tested and they said everything looked fine except the ammonia, which was a little high. But then I bought an API master test kit today so I went home and tested it again. The PH was 8.0, ammonia was .25, nitrite and nitrate both 0. What is the PH...

I found this cool lookin log at a nearby lake so I boiled it real good and put it in my FW 45 gallon tank. Its been there for about a week and I put fish in 3 or 4 days ago, but now there's white stuff growing on it. Should I take the log out and buy one from the local fish store? I kind of...

How many powerheads would I need for a 45 gallon? The tank came with two, but I'm worried that would be too much current. Also, my new pleco doesn't seem to get that those algae thins are for him and when he's suckin on glass his stomach seems sorta caved in. Will he figure it out or should I...

Okay. Thanks!

I've got some mollies and a couple tetra.

This is a stupid question, but what brand of food is best for tropical fish? Does it even matter? Fish eat no matter what right? I hope there's no such thing as a picky eater fish...

Uh.. Hi! I'm pretty new to this aquarium stuff so chances are I'm doing something wrong, even though I've barely started. My dad got a 20 gallon and I asked for a pleco so he bought me a little one. I named it Emery. It was the highlight of my facebook page for quite some time. (My dad just...
