Hi everyone, haven't had a fishtank in a while and I'm just getting into the brainstorming process again. The dimensions of my tank are 48x12x18H, and the first fish that caught my eye was the Red Lizard Whiptail Plecostomus. I've been trying to do some research on them but I haven't had much...

Hi everyone! :flowers: I'm 17 days into a fishless cycle right now, and I have a question. For some background, on the first day I dosed the tank to 4ppm of ammonia. The ammonia started going down 6 days later, and I started to see nitrites then. Once the ammonia hit .25ppm, on day 10, I dosed...

Hi, everyone! :) I have a new 10 gallon tank that's fishless cycling right now. It's in the middle of the nitrite spike, >5ppm of nitrites but consistently bringing 2pmm of ammonia down to 0 every 24 hours. I added plants the same day that I added ammonia, on March 20th. I'm using Dr. Tim's...

Hi everyone! If this happens, it won't happen anytime soon, right now I'm just dreaming. I have a 48x15x18, 45g tank that's currently empty, and I've been looking at African Cichlids because I think it would be really cool to have a Cichlid tank. First off, I heard this is on the small end for a...

I just got a new Honey Gourami, and was wondering if anyone could tell whether he or she is male or female? Thanks! (:

I just recently acquired a 55 gallon tank. I'm SO excited to begin on this new project. My ideas for stocking it right now is: 4 Mollies - 1 Silver Lyretail, 1 Cremesicle Lyretail, 1 Black, 1 Dalmation. All female. 4 Bolivian Rams - I don't plan on breeding these, and don't necessarily want...

I know a lot about the initial cycling of a tank, as in using ammonia or dead shrimp or fish food for fishless cycling, or putting a fish in immediately and doing lots of water changes for fish-in cycling. But I was wondering what happens after you've cycled your tank, put fish in, and...

My ghost shrimp lost one of his front arms. I don't know if I got him like that or if he recently lost it somehow, but will he be okay? He's moving around fine, but can't grab food as easily. I'd post a picture, but it's hard enough seeing them in pictures, since their see-through.

I'm going to the fish store and going to buy a betta in a few minutes. I already have a 5.5G ready and fishless cycled. Is there anything I should look out for as to whether the betta is unhealthy? And I was wondering, if it has a white body, as I've seen some like that, does that mean its pale...

I was wondering if this would be a good stock for a 20G, and if everyone would be happy in it. The dimensions are 24Lx12Dx16H. 4 Fancy Guppy 1 Albino Cory(Used to have another, but he didn't care much about it and he's perfectly happy alone.) 4 Julii Cories 4 Otocinclus 1 Honey Gourami 1...

Is there something wrong with my guppy? It seems bigger than my other guppies, and has a dark reddish/black spot on its belly. It swims sort of weird, moving slowly, and wiggling its body more, but other than that seems fine.

Hi! I'm thinking about buying a new fishtank, a 29 gallon, and I was brainstorming ideas for stocking it. I would put an Aquaclear 50 on it, plus whatever filter it comes with. But this is my idea for stocking it. 6 Black Kuhli Loaches 8 Silver Hatchetfish 5 Otocinclus 2 Mollies (Hopefully...

I'm thinking about getting a 10 gallon tank, and I was wondering if these fish could live happily and thrive in it. It would most likely have an Aquaclear 30 filter, and would be fishless cycled beforehand. I want to keep Rosy Red Minnows. I think they're really cute fish, despite being sold as...

This is my male guppy, Blitz. He's a Red Gold Tuxedo Guppy, and is extremely active, always moving. (: I noticed that he doesn't have as dark of the blue/black on his sides as some of the others at the stores do. He's been this way since I got him, about a month ago. I'm fine with this, he's...

Is this a good tank for a Sparkling Gourami and 5 Ghost Shrimp? It's a 5.5G.

I have an old 5G that I'm cycling right now, and I was wondering what I could stock it with? I definitely don't want to overstock. All suggestions are welcome, the only thing I don't want is a Betta, because I've already had a few of them, and am looking for something new.

I have a 20G long with 5 guppies and 4 cory catfish. When I'm done stocking it, it will have 5 guppies, 8 cories, and 7 cardinal tetras. It is planted, and I was wondering if I had room, or if there was a solo fish that would get along with all of mine that I could have as a centerpiece fish, a...

My new Julii Cory Catfish has slightly reddish gills. Is this bad?

I have a 20G with 5 guppies and 2 cories. I'm planning on getting more fish. (6 more cory cats and around 7 Cardinal Tetras.) But the problem is it's been getting hot here and when I come home, the tank is usually 80 degrees F. It cools off at night, I have my tank heater set at 76. Is this...

I just found 2 baby snails in my 20G that must have been attached to the new plant I just bought. I think they must be Mystery Snails, because thats what was in the tank with my plant. Is there anything extra I have to do to take care of these little guys, or will they be fine with no help? And...

I'm curious, because I bought it from my LFS but they never told me the name. My fish love it.

I have 4 gallon jugs that are full of tap water that I've left sit for about a week now. I didn't add any water conditioner. Would this be safe to add to my aquarium, without water conditioner?

I have a 20G long tank with 2 filters, an Aquaclear 50 and a Marineland Penguin 150G. In the tank, I have 5 guppies, an Albino Cory Catfish, and a Julii Cory Catfish. I'm getting 3 more of each Cory Catfish soon, to give them friends, but I want a new school of fish that swim around the middle...

I have a 20G long with two filters, a Marineland Penguin 150G and an Aquaclear 50. At the moment, it has 5 Guppies, an Albino Cory, and a Julii Cory. I was wanting to add 3 more Albino Cories and 3 more Julii Cories to give them some friends. I also wanted to add 6 or 7 Bloodfin Tetras. Would...
