In a related post, I saw someone say that shrimp are good at cleaning up fish waste, and I was wondering if it'd be bad idea to drop like 20-30 ghost shrimnp in my 30 gallon, and let them scrounge around? Thanks!

Hey all, I made the mistake of buying a common pleco when I first started, and learned after I got him of how huge he gets. I have a 30g, and have: 2 angels, 3 rainbow sharks, 5 danios, 1 gourami, 3 corys, and the pleco. I was thinking about replacing the pleco with 2 kuhli loaches. The more...

I keep seeing pictures of ghost shrimp, and am having problems distinguishing them from the shrimp they sell at my local LFS for 8 for $1. I would like to buy some to put them in my 30 gallon any pout them in with my angels, gourami, danios, rainbow shark, corys, and wonder if they would have a...

So...In one of the classic newbie blunders, I bought a pleco when I started my tank, and did so without realizing that it was a common pleco, and would eventually grow into a monster fish. It is currently about 4 inches right now, and I realize that I would rather part with it now then wait for...

Hello all, Tonight when I looked into my tiger barb tank (8 tiger barbs, about 3/4' to 1" each, I noticed two tiget barbs kept "kissing" each other continuously, and constantly swimming closely around each other. Its really hard to explain, but its almost like they're kissing each other on the...

Ive had my danios for about a month now. Lively bunch of 5, never any problems. Now, Ive seen him all day swimming almost vertically near where the filter water comes in. And, It seems like the bottom of him is tinted redder in places more than it has before. Definitely tinted redder than...

Hey all, Another question to rack your brains. I bought live brine shrimp for feeding nearly a week ago, and have kept them in the fridge. Since then, Ive used them infrequently, and noticed today that they are mostly all dead. Can I still feed them to the fish without posing health risks, or...

So right now I have 2 angels, 5 danios, a gourami, 3 cory's and a pleco. Anyone have suggestions on whether I should add any more fish? I have thought about a few silver dollars, or maybe a few more corys, but really dont know yet. Id love to hear what you all's ideas are. Also, I have a 10g...

Hey all, Quick question. I am planning on buying afew small clay flowerpots for aquascaping, probably from somewhere like Wal-Mart. My question is, do I need to treat them or do anything to them to make sure they dont introduce any bad chemicals, or do I not need to worry??? Thanks a lot!

Hey all, I noticed that a lot of you are from the South Florida area. I am new to Miami, and was wondering if you all would be able to give me a recommendation for good LFS around here. I havent had much luck with any lately. Thanks in advance!

Hey there, So I just got this little guy a few days ago...Not sure if he had been eating, as I never physically saw him eat, but a few ghost shrimp disappeared...Anyways, yesterday he was just swimming around normally, nothing wrong at all. Right as Im about to go to bed, I notice him laying...

Hey all, I am starting a 10 gallon tank, and will probably be putting in 4 or 5 small (1") cichlids to start with, and possibly a crawfish if he plays nice. My first question is, will 4 or 5 be ok in that size tank? I know the crawfish may be a problem, but if he is, Ill get rid of him...

Hey all, I just bought 5 giant danios today from the LFS, and acclimated them and put them in. They have been swimming, in schools, in circles ever since, and that was like 6 hours ago. Is that just normal roaming behavior???? TIA
