what does a GBR stand for?

I was just wondering out of curiosity what can be the biggest fish you have in a 20 gal tank living in solitude

how exactly do they mate then?

I have recently gotten kribs from my LFS and I am almost certain one of the females is pregnant. She's been hiding in my ship decor and everytime i see her, she has a really big pink belly. My only option right now, to keep the babies safe from the gouramis that i've had before hand. I bought a...

I know but I have two Gouramies that is like 10x the size of a baby cichlid. I'd just rather be safe than sorry. And yeah, I do find that fascinating. I was watching Planet Earth, the documentary, and it was a part where they showed Lake Malawi and how it is full of cichlids and it was just...

Well right now it seems like their dominating the bottom portion of the aquarium and the gouramis are roaming around the top. How big do baby cichlids first appear to be? cause i plan on seeing if i can buy a breeder net today just in case it does happen.

ill see if i can get a breeder net today... I always wanted to take care of little fishes. I think one of the primary purpose why I wanted Fish in the first place is to exercise my responsibilities and time management. :) I just tested it. It seems like the yellow shade is around 0-0.25... The...

Maybe I can keep both filters as an option as well. I'm going to test my ammonia levels right after this. If it's going to be a slightly green in colour, am I suppose to instantly do a water change? I'm also concerned about the recent 'kribs' that I got, I am almost certain one of the females...

I just make sure I feed my fish once a day or twice even. I do believe I may be overfeeding them. I recently bought TetraMinPro flakes and if there is some sort of rule of thumb about feeding, that'd be great to know. I don't want to completely doubt my LFS but I think I know enough to have...

I know, but the thing is, everyone is emphasizing on my ammonia levels, when I HAVE an API Ammonia Test Kit to test my ammonia levels, and right now, it's safe.

As I have said, I don't have the master kit, but I do have the Ammonia test kit. My Ammonia levels are fine, the results always show up yellow and never anything close to green. Side discussion: I'm well aware that buying new fish was a wrong move on my part. But I couldn't help but pass up the...

well a lot of the times, my fish start to die out a good month and a half later. I am however, a victim of those newbie pitfalls, because I started off my tank without proper cycling with swordtails and guppies. The swordtails ended up surviving longer than the guppies. Side note: I've...

@Librarygirl 1. Now that I think about it, I may have come too paranoid at one point. I believe it was a time where one of my swordtails started growing unusually large like a balloon, and another of the swordtails started getting a fungus infection on one of their eyes. So I bought aquarium...

The best advice I was given about aquariums in particular is "You never know what'll happen." I've been having this mindset throughout my almost 3 years of having my aquarium. But the problem still persists... my fish keep dying. dozens of fishes who, in my hands, met their fate way too soon...

i'd do a water change, and if u see fins in your siphon while cleaning, condolences bro.
