I'm trying to decide what fish I want. At the moment I have two guppies, four neon tetras, 2 Cory cat, 4 platty,1 dwarf gourami, 2 ghost shrimp, clown pleco, and a pleco (unsure kind, baby supposed to turn green). I know the pleco gets huge and I will make other arrangements when the time comes...

So I resealed my leaking aquarium, just the four corners and bottom. I did not remove the trim and do underneath. It didn't turn out perfect looking but I beleive good. I just took it outside (50*f) from inside (70*f) and test filled it after about 48 hours. The water was cold. I thought I...

So I have four 4 old hang on back filters that do not work. I'll fill them with water and they make some noise but never turn water over. They came with a 55 gallon I bought and they seem really old. They take up some room so I'm considering trashing them or would they be a easy fix, or useful...

I have been reading about pressurized co2 lately, I am about ready to try it. I have been putting it off because I don't want to spend the money. Half of my dwarf hairgrass has melted away, some seems to be growing still tho. Been planted several months now, high light, mgps capped with eco...

My tank has been established since January but I recently emptied it and added m.g. putting soil with the same eco complete on top. I have three questions, can I trim 2 week dwarf hairgrass all the way down? My Siamese algea eater keeps uprooting some. Had him for bba and have been struggling to...

The spotted African leaf fish from pet smart, what do you feed them? I can't tell that he has ate any of the blood worms, but he's still alive. I had two, one died 4 days ago but didn't look healthy to begin with. I have a snails I am trying to go get rid of, would he eat them if I crushed them...

Possibilities are cory cat cat, ghost shrimp, or mystery snails which I have been hand removing every week. I assume they are all mystery snails but they seem keep showing up. I know the clutches are above water but could young ones mate and not go up? I see them crawling on each other so I...

Tanks were not labeled properly at the store

Could this be fungus or dropsy? A few guppies died a while back. the store I got at least one from, had fungus, they were treating the guppy tank when I returned to the store. It seems they could be connected but I do not know enough about it. Water is all good, slightly high 7.8 or 8. I got rid...

Several of my guppies died over the last 3-4 weeks after getting new fish. When returning a dead one, there was a sign that said "these fish are being treated for fungus" on the guppy tank. Hate to treat the wrong thing because idk what this is,(and I have 2 gourami and Cory cat) but I figured...

Noticed this spot a few days ago, amonnia is 0 or >.25. , nitrite 0, nitrate 0, ph 8.4. I added tetra correct ph and my ph is now 8.1, aiming for 7.5ish(guppies). I have live plants and have been scraping lots of 'hair like' green algea off glass every week. My plants have algea on them...

I have a t8 shoplight resting on my aquatium. It has a t12 6500k daylight bulb in it. (Purchased wrong one, gonna use this one for now). What effect is the wrong bulb having or is it alright? I planned to get a t8 6500k daylight but is this enough to keep my hairgrass alive and carpet? If not is...

I buried my snail in .5 to a inch of gravel, that i added to the old gravel. Dwarf hairgrass and amazon sword just planted in that area so i dont want to dig for him. It has been one day and i have not seen him, will he crawl up? If he dies that should not mess up my fish/aquarium correct?

I decided to add dwarf hairgrass to my tank 3 weeks ago along with water wisteria and an amazon sword. I have a t8 6500k daylight, two bulbs in a shoplight resting over the aquarium. Im on a budget and thought this would be my best bet for a light that fits the shoplight i have been using...
