I have 9 neon tetras and, after feeding today, one looks very bloated and is swimming downwards constantly. It's pretty obviously bloated. What should I do? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My snails are ok in with my Amano shrimp, right? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Is it weird that my neon tetras are absolutely terrified of me? They were fine for a long time, but I just had to move them upstairs, and about a week later they're acting normal until I walk up to the tank. Then they all go nuts and dart into the corners of the tank. Sent from my iPhone...

I'm planning on getting a dwarf puffer and I want to feed it snails as it's main food. What would the best way to start a small snail population? I was thinking I just get a critter keeper and put whatever easiest snails I can get in there? Can I just put water in there for them to breed or do I...

I have a 5.5gal tank sitting waiting for me to fill it up. I can't decide what to stock it with though. I was thinking either a shrimp tank or maybe a betta. Is a dwarf puffer also a possibility in this small of a tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

This may be a dumb question. I have 2 amano shrimp and I think I want to get some RCS as well. They're not going to bother each other, right? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I got a 10 gallon tank about a month ago now. I have it set up with 10 neon tetras and 2 amano shrimp. I was thinking about adding some dwarf cories to it. Would I be overstocked with 4? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just went to a new store to check out some fish (I live in Rochester, NY) because there is only a Petco and a PetSmart near me. The new place, Pet World, was huge! There were tons of interesting fish and the person helping me really knew what he was doing. Now to get to the reason of this...

I'm housesitting this weekend and the house has fish. Last time I was here I remember it being a nice tank that worked well. 4 months later I'm back and there are 3 massive goldfish in this tank. I believe it's either a 10 or 20 gallon tank. I feel so bad for the fish! Sent from my iPhone...

I just moved my 5 neon tetras and 2 amano shrimp to my 10gal tank. I think I just want to add more of what I already have, but I'm willing to take new suggestions! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just switched tanks to a larger one last night. All my amano shrimp and neon tetras made the initial switch, but now one of the tetras seems to be a bit off. Swimming tilted to the side or swimming upwards without going anywhere. Is it just dying from the stress of a new tank? Sent from my...

I currently have a 5.5 gallon with 2 amano shrimp and 5 neon tetras living happily. I would like to upgrade to a 10gal tank. What steps (other than buying the tank) should I take to go about this? I have a whisper10 in my tank and the heater is plenty strong enough as well. Sent from my...

My heater is set at about 78, but my tank is way up at around 84 right now. Why is this? Could it be the high temperature in my home? Possibly a lower water level (it's about an inch low because I did a WC today and doing another tomorrow for cycling)? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've been thinking about upgrading my 5.5 gallon tank to a 20 gallon tank. This is probably 6 months from now, but it's fun to think about. What would you do with this tank? I currently have 5 neon tetras and 3 ghost shrimp. I am a beginner as well, so nothing too difficult would be...

I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 5 neon tetras in it. I've been thinking about adding some type of bottom feeder, but most would be too much for my capacity. How does a shrimp sound? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Is this fish behavior weird at all? I have five neon tetras in my tank and three of them swim in the middle of the tank and often dart at each other. I can't tell if they're just playing or if it's malicious. My other two fish swim in the back corner of the tank and don't really move at all...

I have a 5.5 gallon tank. I plan on putting 4-5 endlers in there and wanted to know if putting in a few corys is possible. Thoughts? Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Would 3 Tetras and 2 Cories work in my 5.5 gal tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm starting my first 5.5 gallon tank and it is currently cycling. I need some stocking ideas. I definitely don't want to do just a Betta or an all shrimp tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a pretty old tank that is pretty dirty. I haven't put anything in it yet. Is there anything specific I should clean it with, or is traditional soap and water ok? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just got a 5 gallon tank, and want to begin keeping an aquarium for the first time. Any ideas for my tank? I've done a bit of research, and I think a planted tank would be very cool. Ideas/help? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
