Hello Jerene! I am new to aquariums but I just added a Yellow Apple Snail to my tank so I did a bit of reading on them (I don't think there is too much difference between the two). A snail will float for several reasons. It could be that the snail doesn't like where it is and is trying to float...

How would I go about rehoming the goldfish? I don't know anyone who has aquariums.

Hello! I need help identifying my goldfish. The goldfish came with the tank my father found, so I don't know much about him/her. He/she looks to be about 5 inches at the moment and I am worried that my tank is to small for him/her. I know some goldfish can get really big. Any ideas on what I...

Thanks everyone! I decided to place my heater vertically right next to the filter intake so that in case I need to raise or lower the temperature I can reach it without having to pull it out (I have tiny arms and a tall aquarium, UGH!).

Thanks Matt68005! The two dalmatian mollies I have are both female if I am correct. Sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier. They are also inseparable. I have not seen them swim that way since I posted this thread, but I do worry that if it is not bullying as you said, then what could it...

Thanks Caleb! I just read some wonderful things about AquaClear Filters. It will definitely be the next filter I buy. I did put the pad from the previous filter into the new filter but it is much smaller than the pad that is supposed to be in the new filter. Can I put the old pad with the...

Thank you Brennae! The Colbalt Neotherm looks amazing! It is definitely going on my "to buy" list! Did you buy yours online or did your LFS have it? Unfortunately I don't have any LFS in my area so I rely on the pet stores near my home to have what I need. I ask about the placement of the heater...

Where is the best placement for the aquarium heater? Vertical or horizontal? I have an Aqueon Submersible Heater 100 watt in a 40 gallon pentagon tank. Do any of you have experience with this heater? Is it any good or should I upgrade? If I should upgrade, what are your suggestions on brands...

I currently have a Tetra Whisper 40 Power Filter that came with the 40 gallon pentagon tank my father found in an abandoned apartment. I could never find the appropriate filter replacement for the Whisper in any of the stores I went to so I just placed a large filter cartridge into the filter...

This past week, I have noticed on various occasions that my two Dalmatian Mollies would begin to swim vertically (not in unison) for a few seconds then go back to swimming naturally. Is this normal molly behavior? Are my mollies ill? I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

What is your opinion on aquarium salt? If any, what are the benefits of using aquarium salt? Do you use it in your fish tank? Do you use aquarium salt not just for treating your fish, but with every water change? What is your experience with using aquarium salt? Did it make a good or bad...

Thank you Caleb! Yes! It was a lot to read! I just really wanted to make sure I could give as much information as possible on the state of my aquarium. I will continue with the daily water changes and hold off on buying the Tetra Safe Start. I do have a few more questions if that is alright...

Thank you! I am very happy to have found Aquarium Advice! I will keep a very close eye on the GloFish Tetra. Will the tetra's gill plate ever heal? Do you know or recommend any medication that will help heal the gill plate? I tried once more to attach a photo but it continues to say upload...

Hello. I have a GloFish Tetra whose left side gill looks like is was ripped off. I have had her for about a week and noticed the next day of purchasing her that her left gill looked torn off. Now I am not 100% sure that she maybe came like this but I think I would have noticed if she did. I did...

Hello. I am fairly new to aquariums and I need some help. Here is my honest story. I have a 40 gallon pentagon tank that I have had running for 2 weeks. My father had found the tank in an abandoned apartment and brought it home knowing that I have always wanted one. The previous owners had left...
