Hello :) I was wondering if there is anything I can do to repair a scratch?? My hubby and son picked up one of those magnetic glass cleaners trying to help because I always get an area of brown algea on the glass by my filter and the snail doesnt seem to want to go there. When I got home...

Question- What is the best way to clean artificial plants? Stacie

I have two tanks in my house- a 75 gal and a 10 gal. I love them and it kill me when they start to get really dirty looking in any way. I check all of my levels weekly and make sure everything is going smoothly for the fish and the look of the tank. My question is this- Does it just kill...

I originally had 5 large goldfish in my tank. For over a month they all lived together happily until three of the fish started picking on one of the other fish. They would chase it around a bit and then back off so I wasnt too worried until they started boxing him into a corner and ramming...

Hello - I have been testing Andrew's tank daily. ph 7.2, ammonia 0 , and nitrites 0. Then yesterday we visited a fish store and the woman told Andrew that a couple of tetras do fine with a betta. Andrew picked out 4 small tetras (red bodies with black fins). We went home and put in his...

I am so excited about how my sons new betta tank came out. 10 gallon tank with filter. Then he put on a background and added a couple artificial plants and a small skull (an 8 year old boys idea :wink: ) The hole thing is in his room and doesnt seem to be too loud. Question-- Does the...

Ok please dont laugh but we have one more question. My hubby just fed the fish. We are trying to figure out what is a good amount that they eat in 5 minutes so he is putting small amounts and timing them. one of the fish always makes a mad dash to get the most food and my hubby says he is...

Hello- just thought of something else I wanted to ask. My 75 gal tank right now has 3- 4 inch goldfish and one betta. We were going to take him out but everyone agrees he seems to like it in there. my temp is a pretty constant 75 degrees. One of my boys wants something that stucks to the...

Hello- I am really in need of some advice. To give you some background here, I have twin 8 year old boys. One of them has special needs so we spend lots of time at the hospital while he is in therapy. My kids all love the tanks there. Most are just gravel, a couple fake plants and 2-3...
