    Sharing, my desk at night :-)

    I LOVE having my tank on my desk. Sometimes while I'm working I look up and stare off completely watching them swim around. Plus, I don't need a desk lamp! WOO!

    Cloudy Tank advice needed

    I did the same thing you did, out of ignorance of fish keeping. It took a few weeks after for my smaller, 8 gallon tank, to cycle and then become clear. I just kept doing 25% water changes and checking the levels of everything. I did have to replace my bubble wand with an airstone because the...

    Odd Fish Behavior??

    Okay, so my male fancy guppy is like, obsessed with my sunset coral platy. He like, follows it around and like, touches it with his face? It doesn't look like he's trying to hurt it, and there is no fin nippage. Is he trying to hurt it? Is this normal for guppies? Are they ever aggressive? Help...

    Water Problems! Help!

    Yes, the filter has been running for over a month now. There are still a few white things floating around but no where near as bad. I just need to keep up on water changes, that's all!

    Water Problems! Help!

    I read that they require aquarium salt. Not like... saltwater salt. Haha, did that make sense? Google it, I swear it said that!

    Water Problems! Help!

    I just used the basics I read about. Cycled the tank for 8 weeks. Added the fish about a week ago. Tested water, etc. The only thing new was the aquarium salt for the platy (or guppy, don't remember.) and the air pump/bubble wand. It just looks like... tiny white specs floating around. Haha

    Water Problems! Help!

    Okay, so I've checked my water for the past week, and all stats are normal. My filter is running. I have a heater and also a bubble wand. My tank is still not that mature, and I don't want to partially change the water yet.. but there are little white particles floating everywhere! Can anyone...

    Best combination of fish for an 8gal planted tank?

    Two Zebra Danios, Two Sunset Dwarf Platys, and Two or three Fancy Guppies. They are really active, beautifully colored, and very fun to watch! An Oto Cat would be good, too!

    Is this tacky or not permitted?

    I work at PetSmart and truuuust me. If you asked me if you could net your own fish, I'd probably hug you. I highly doubt anyone would get upset or offended if you wanted to take an extra 5 to 10 minutes of work out of their hands. =]

    Distilled or Spring?

    I used 6 gallons of treated spring water and 2 gallons of treated tap water and my stats hardly ever get iffy.

    What Made You Want A Freshwater Aquarium?

    Here is how I got started... I started working in a pet store about 4 months ago. I was trained as a pet care assistant, where I would deal with fish and rodents and puppies and kittens. Clean cages, bag fish, etc. Well, I had already had a dog, cat, two birds, and pet mouse, and had never...

    Oh no! Dead fish after PWC

    When I first added my rosey red to my new tank, he go caught in the current and stuck behind the heater and died. I was bummed, because he was the kind who'd follow my finger back and forth, back and forth. Needless to say, I turned the current down. =[ Sorry for your loss!
