Hello! I am looking for ideas for my betta tank as far as toys, decorations, etc, that will keep him happy and active. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that I did buy a divider for the aquarium to try to keep the peace, but it only works so well....

I have another question.... it seems as though they will not be successful breeding. That being said, my female is laying eggs just about every week. So, every week, she torments the entire tank, except the male angel.... it is getting to the point that I can't enjoy it... she does her sideways...

Hello! I am kind of new to the whole aquarium thing, and I have purchased a lot of plants to make my fish home as natural as possible. Until recently, things have gone pretty smoothly, but, now I have noticed a few snails. I hate to sound stupid, but I noticed one of them looked different. Is...

OK, I have a community tropical tank, 65 gallon understocked with 2 angelfish For tetris 3 green catfish one peppered Cory cat and a couple of very small algae eaters. My angelfish has come down with fin and tail rot and I need to treat immediately. I have a read for my son but I'm not sure...

Thank you both! Fred was a rescue, and I think he is blind in one eye. He has been through a lot, and now seems very happy. Im happy to l now for sure now that they are indeed a mated pair

Soooo, I have a pair of angelfish, and was wondering if anyone can tell if I have a male and female, or 2 females. Im trying to attach pictures, and hope I can get help! The one that is mainly orange, the bigger one, we always thought was a male. And the smaller one, Henri, I have actually seen...

I just got this light for my freshwater aquarium. So far, i really like it. It is fully customizable, etc. My only problem is I am not sure what I want it to be set at. I want it to be perfect for both plants, AND fish. There are so many options, I don't know what to do!! Of anyone else has...

I have a mated pair of angel fish, that has spawned multiple times. They live in a community 65 gallon tank, With some catfish, tetras, guppies, and Molly's. Take is fairly heavily planted. Nitrates read about 20, nitrites are at 0 ammonia is at 0 and the ph is around 6, 6.5. They have been...

Okay...so, I ordered the test kit, and it came in the mail today. After only 1 drop, the gH, AND the kg are both testing at 1. The KG of my tap water is 2. The gh of the tap water was 1. Does that mean anything?

Thank you

ALSO..... I ha e the API freshwater master test kit. Do you have a recommendation for the best kit for the gh and kh? I've heard the tests with the strips of paper were not trustworthy.

I did not test the GH or Kh yet....oops. I have a 65 gallon tank, heavily planted (I think?), and have been taking out about 20-25 gallons 1x weekly. Been doing so bc it wasnt cycled until a week or so ago. I didnt think it was ever going to either. It's been up for quite some time. Anyway...

The pH in my tank is 6... the water tests and turns yellow. I think I do need to raise the pH.... right?

I thought it was crazy high too, and do t understand why it is so high. I started using bottled water because the ammonia level in the tap water was high, but the pH was about 7. Will tourmaline balls help stabilize all this?

Okay..... the pH of my tap water came out as dark a purple as it could, so I am assuming it is at least 8.8 straight from the tap. The last 2 water changes I did, were with bottle crystal springs that i had delivered, 60 gallons in all. The pH of that water was around 6.8. I do not have a test...

I was wondering if anyone can advise me on the use of tourmaline balls? I have a 65 gallon tank and am having problems keeping my pH up. It seems to want to stay at 6. The ammonia is 0, nitrites are 0, nitrates are about 10-15. My tank has 2 Angel's, 2 black mollies, 2 platinum guppies, and 1...

My pH dropped to 6 today! On top of that, my cory cat appears to be dying. What in the world? I added a cap of seachem flourish for the plants this morning, but that wouldnt change the ph? Any solutions??

Soooo, my tank finally cycled, and today my cory Cat is on his side, and appears to be dying. Yesterday, my pH was around 7.4, and today it has dropped to 6?? The only thing I did was add some seachem flourish for the plants. Does anyone know what's going on, or how to help? Ammonia is 0...

Thank you! The pH tested very low days ago, it was yellow... so, having to use the high range pH test was a bit startling. I will keep testing. Thank you again for all your help!

The extra money buying the water was worth it, by the way. My tap water was full of ammonia! Horrible!

Thanks everyone! I just gave up and put the water in the tank, and it FINALLY cycled! And I have never seen my ammonia level so low! Yaaaaay! The pH is a bit high though.... 7.4? Now I dont know what to do! It feels like I am supposed to be changing the water, stressing about it in some way...

I've been using tap water, but want to switch to bottled water. If I buy the 5 gallon jugs of Crystal Springs Spring Water, do I need to test, and/or treat it first?

I have a community tank that includes 2 angel fish. I have noticed one of the Angel's favoring a plant, that I just noticed is covered with eggs. Would they lay eggs if there were only 2 males? What should I do?
