Hey there, don’t give up! Ensure that the water quality is pristine as that is the key for a healthy aquarium. Also, yes it would be fine to have just male guppies in an aquarium, however, don’t get discouraged just because in the meantime you can’t get anything right. We’ve all been there and...

Yes, judging by the shape of the shell, it’s probably a Malaysian trumpet.

Yeah, I said above that I tried returning it; the staff said there was nothing wrong with it, so they wouldn’t accept it. I don’t have enough money and I’m saving up money for college. This tank will have to do for the next year or so. I’m just wondering what are the consequences if I leave the...

This is a Top Fin 5 gallon retreat tank that I bought at PetSmart. How the manufacturer thought it’d would be a good idea to sell a deformed product is a mystery. The tank is an asymmetrical rectangle mess. Literally, each glass panel was siliconed at a slanted angle. You can see huge air...

Hmmm it might be trick having a lot of plants with goldfish because they tend to eat them and I mean they’ll tear through em all. But in the meantime, it seems that your lighting might be a little on the lower side. You can still have lots of plants but they’ll take longer to grow and might be...

What’s your goal for the tank? What do you want it to look like? What plants do you like? How much are you willing to spend? Pls give us a little more info. :)

One possible reason could be extremely high water flow. As carbon dioxide is dissolved in an aqueous solution, it undergoes hydrolysis, which yields carbonic acid. The higher the amount of co2 there is in water, the lower the ph. If there is an extreme amount of water flow, more carbon dioxide...

If anything, catappa leaves lower the ph; they, like most pieces of wood, bark, leaves, and etc contain tannic acids, which are generally weak acids. You should try to achieve a stable ph rather than to chase after a specific number. Also remember that a 0.1 in ph represents 10. For example...

If you keep dosing prime and stability, it won’t work. Beneficial bacteria get their nutrients and essentially food from ammonia and nitrites in the tank. The byproduct of this, is nitrates which you will need to remove via water changes. If you keep dosing stability, it’s fine, but when you...

Hi Dude, you need to let your tank cycle. If you stocked the tank before the beneficial bacteria has even became established, you’ll receive high amounts of ammonia and nitrites; they are toxic to fish. Get yourself some Seachem stability and do a water change to dilute the amount of pollutants...

Hi, this is my first post. I was wondering if these Congo tetra eggs are fertile. I have a school of Congo tetras that breed on average 3 times a week, but their eggs seem to always turn white. The yolks turn white, but the egg case remains clear and somehow gets larger. I am holding the eggs...
