No, they are different water sources, but Minnesota gets most of its water from the same place: groundwater, rain runoff, and local sources. I’ve compared the two waters, and mine is slightly more basic, but other than that they’re pretty similar. The fish do seem to pep up with water changes.

Hello! I have bought about 8 Honey gouramis over the past 2 years, from the same store, and they have all died fairly mysteriously. The oldest one survived 6 months. I have a 30 gallon community tank. It was fishlessly cycled 2 years ago, it’s heavily planted, has proper filtration, and no...

Yea, I guessed the new fish might have been the culprit. But I added them like... 2 weeks ago. And I added them slowly, first just 4 rasboras, wait a week, add 6 more, wait a week, add 6 cory cats. I have a regular, non-python suction column and it just... doesn't suck up all that much. Does a...

i've heard lots of good thing about Plecos, but I love my driftwood and don't want it to get eaten away :/

Thank you for replying! the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate in my tap water is 0ppm. the pH is 8 (I let tap water sit out and 'age' for a day before adding it to my tank). After my last water change, the ammonia is back to 0. I've also gone to feeding them only one a day. I will do 50% water...

Hello! I have a 30 gallon planted aquarium with 8 harlequin rasboras (two died last night), 6 bronze cory cats, and 2 nerite snails. The tank was cycled for 2 months before adding fish, and i have added fish slowly over the past ~6 weeks. I do 30% water changes every week and test the water...

those are absolutely beautiful! i love those plants, what kind are they? they contrast your fish so nicely.

they are beautiful, but i've heard lots of horror stories about those rams randomly dying. aren't they pretty sensitive?

those guys are super cute! do they have nice personalities? if i was getting a tetra school, i like the look of glowlights and lemons, but the runnynoses are nice too. i'll have to see what would match/contrast my rasboras best.

oh! i had no idea cory's could jump like that. there are lots of DIY lids i can make myself, i will be sure to make it before putting anything inside. thank you!

hello! i'm currently in the process of fishless cycling my first aquarium. i am ~one week into the cycle and it's going fine so far (no nitrates yet, but i don't plan on adding fish until it's done(in 1-2 months), don't worry). here are the specs: 30g high (30x12x19") Hagen Aquaclear 50 black...
