I have a ridiculous situation. I bought a big package of Tetra 5-in-1 test strips and i managed to lose the color chart. I was wondering if i can find the colors online anywhere?

Ok, i have a 10 gallon tank now, and im setting up a new 25 gallon tank. Would it work if i put the water and fish from my old tank to the new one which will only fill it less than halfway with water, then add about 25% (like a water change)new tap water. Then in a few days add another 25% and...

Not really sure how old she is. She is pretty big so she's not too young.

My water test seems fine, my platy is acting very normal, i dont see any changes. Do platys normally change colors? Thanks for the fry info, thats probably what it is. I've had the mollies for about 2 months i think.

I have a platy that seems to have developed a black patch on the side of his body. It's wouldnt call it a spot its not round, its kind of square like a patch. I cant really find any disease that has black spots or patches as symptoms, does anybody know of any or what it could be? Also my...

Hello, i have a 10 gallon with 5 neon tetras, 2 "fruit" tetras, a corydoras, and 2 cremsicle mollies. I first thought that my female molly may be pregnant, but im starting to think she may be sick. Her behavior is pretty much the same but she has black spots and specs around her stomach and...

Wow, cool Thanks for all the advice and help. Well, since i didnt think about the heater which im sure i need for another tank, what if i put a tank divider and just seperate them? I mean how fast will the other fish try to eat the fry, immediately? Also, can you tell when they are about to...

Hi im not sure but i think my Cremsicle Molly is pregant. I have a 10 gallon and i've never dealt with a pregnant fish before. My molly is well, getting fat, also i can see black spots through her white stomach. Lastly, she seems to be pooping more than usual. Does this sound like she is...

I have a 10 gallon tank and i just bought a Shark Powerhead for my undergravel filter. It pumps 200 GPH and has a few settings and one setting doesnt include the aeration effect. My question is do i need the bubbles running through the water with the aeration tube? Is the motion on the...

My male guppy's fin got damaged somehow a while back so I seperated him from the rest and have been treating with Medicated Fungus Tablets. The tablets say they are for fin rot and other diseases. Well, he has been in the hospital tank for about a month and i dont see much progress. His tail...

Thank you all for the help. I went ahead and bought a couple Glolights and my neons seem much happier. They do usually school now so than you.

Hi i was wondering if Neon Tetras and Glolight Tetras are basically the same? Also if not are they compatible and will they school together?

Looks to be totally clear, has like one "vein" running from front to back on his underside. I need a new fish store.

Hello, i recently purchased a shrimp form my local pet store. It did not specify what type of shrimp it was but I was wondering if there is something i need to feed it. Well, besides normal flakes and sometimes I feed dots to my neons and algae wafers to my pleco. I have read that shrimp eat...

Hi, i have had a 10 gallon tank for a little while and I decided to try a coupple plants. Well, they aren't growing. I got two different types of plants, on the package it says Hardy Aponogeton Bulbs for live aquariums. It also says they grow 6" to 8" in 15 days provided at least 8 hours of...

Thats what I was thinking, thanks for the help. I was also wondering if i should get some kind of botom feeders or algae eaters?

I have a 10 gallon tank with a UGF and a HOB filter, gravel substrate, my PH is 6.8-7.0, 78-80 degrees. Right now I have 2 Neon Tetras, 2 White Skirt Tetras, and 1 male Guppy. I'm pretty sure I can have more fish and I was wondering which to get. Also, if I should get new different fish...

sorry im kinda confused, when you say i should both do you mean both filters or both sides of the undergravel? I ask because at the moment im runnin the power filter and only 1 side of the undergravel because my air pump doesnt seem to be strong enough for both sides.

Well, I have a 10 gallon tank and I'm trying to figure out which filter to use. I have a power filter that came with the aquarium and an undergravel filter. I also wanted to know if I need both sides of the undergravel filter working or just one? Thanks I also wanted to know if it would be...

Thanks everybody for the help. I recently found out that they dye fish but I didnt know thats what I bought or I definitely wouldnt have. I've definitely found another store, the one I was going to gave me a bunch of crappy info. They told me Plecos would be fine in my tank! I had no idea...

It is a plastic hood and I've already found a new fish store. The one I was going to has given me awful advice thats killed some fish already. Im waiting for replacement hood. Thanks for your help and input.

Ok, this seems very strange to me but maybe somebody has a logical answer. I have a 10 gallon aquarium that has two bulbs in the cover. This morning I woke up to find the light bulb cover laying on top of my water. Also the cover had kind of a "cracked glass" effect where it looks like the...

I'm still pretty new to having an aquarium. I think I probably made a few mistakes and did not let the cycle complete before I put the first fish in. I've had 2 guppies and plecostamus die and another guppy is sick right now. My PH is about 7.0 or a little higher (Isn't This too high?) , my...
