My albino cory catfish looks like he’s bleeding. i’m not sure how to add a picture, i’m not sure if it will post but i will try to describe best as possible. He is albino so it is very clear when his color changes. He has red streaks on his scales on both sides that look as though he cut himself...
Hey you guys! Ive been thinking about all the mistakes I have made or have seen people around me make when it comes to fish keeping. I think we can all learn from each other's mistakes and hopefully not repeat the same mistakes as others :) One big mistake I have made in the years of owning fish...
I was originally going to buy neon tetras for my 20 gallon tank but ended up buying danios instead. I am hoping to get neons in the future but have heard some discouraging things about them such as they die easily since they are so mass produced due to being so popular. I also read that they...
Ive had my bette fish for about 2 years now. He was full grown when i bought him after my freshmen year in high school. Lately he has been chilling in his tank and not swimming very much. He has a 2.5 - 3 gallon tank with italian vals in there and an air pump. I'm not sure if i should update him...
Hey there, I was wondering if i need to sift through my sand in my freshwater aquarium regularly. I read in the past that you need to move the sand around to get the air bubbles out or something like that. Is it necessary to do this often? I use to do it when i first started my tank but don't...

Hey guys, does anyone know ofd any good fish to put in a 20 gallon tropical tank that doesn't school? I have a gwarf gourami and 4 albino cory catfish. Any ideas?
I know i shouldn't chase the pH, which is what I'm not trying to do. However i am gettng neon tetras soon for the tank and i read that they like lower pH. My tap water pH which i texted today was 7.6 as well which i don't think will change. I don't want to try chemicals, I'm just trying to do...
Im thinking about neons too, however I've been informed that they prefer low pH. Currently my pH is at a 7.6 which I'm planning on bringing down with driftwood.
Im stocking my 20 gallon soon and need some advice on what fish to put in there. I want dwarf gouramis and albino cory catfish for sure. What I cannot choose between are neon tetras and dalmatian mollies. Both seem like great fish. I think the neon tetras would look great in my tank, but I've...
