I'd like to change my username here for privacy reasons since deleting an account isn't an option! If it could be changed to RnLGG or anything random that would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this isn't the right place to be asking - it's been a good few years since I've been here. :')

After moving into a new bedroom and moving my fish tank to the hall, my chinese algae eater who was at least 4 years old died (There could have been multiple reasons as to why, but I am unsure at this current time!). The CAE used to have odessa barbs as tankmates, but they all seemed to kill...

I have a 35-gallon Hagen tank I got from a friend around six months ago, and I've never changed the light bulb in it. At first I thought the light was just a low-power one, it was a kind of purple colour. I eventually decided to take the bulb out and find out what type it was. Turns out it was...

Right now I've got seven odessa barbs in my thirty five gallon long tank. I've had the barbs for a good few months now, and before when I only had about five of them, one barb was always picked on. I never really saw it happen, but the barb had nipped fins and was much thinner than the other...

Well, I forgot to ask this a day or two ago, but here's my question: Is there anything fancy I have to do to the rocks I have to make them aquarium safe? I got them in one of those places with huge quantities of rocks that come straight from the quarry. I've scrubbed the rocks a few times, and...

I just bought rocks for my 35 gallon tank, 25 pounds of it. What weight can a fish tank support before you'd need to place something under the rocks to even out the load?

I've had my 34 gallon tank set up for a bit, but it's really empty at the moment. Right now I have a Chinese Algae Eater, I think he's around 3" right now, a betta, and a couple of minnows. A friend of mine has a tank full of Electric Blue Crayfish and is offering to give me one, so my question...

I'm finally going to be able to set up my 34 gallon long tank! Right now in my 10 gallon tank I have a Chinese Algae Eater, a Betta, and a few minnows. I'm fully aware of how aggressive the Chinese Algae Eater could end up being. So I was wondering, could I have two Chinese Algae Eaters in the...

So I'm going to be making a stand for my 34g long tank soon, hopefully starting this weekend. I'm going to move everything from my 10g over to my new 34g, and I'd still like to have something in the 10g when I'm able to set it up again, so I instantly thought Red Cherry Shrimp! Amano shrimp were...

Okay, I have yet one more question about Chinese Algae Eaters, which should be the end of it! So here is my question for all of you who keep Chinese Algae Eaters: Can these fish be kept together? If so, would they have to be together when they are still young? By the way, my tank I'm setting up...

I just got a fish tank from my friend which I calculated is 34g. Once the tank is set up, I'm going to move my Chinese Algae Eater into the tank, he is a little under 2 and a half inches right now. So I was wondering, what would be the best fish to put with it? The tank is going to be a bit...

I'm getting a 20g tank soon, and I'm going to move my Chinese Algae Eater in it. 20g is the biggest I can go right now, I'm probably going to get a bigger tank in the future. The fish is still only about 2 inches long, and it is very shy, it's not showing aggression yet. I'd like to keep a few...

So right now I have a chinese algae eater in a 10 gallon tank for the time being, and I plan on getting him a tank all to himself. I find that information on the Chinese Algae Eater is quite mixed, so I'm not sure what to believe. So my few questions are: -Would a 20 gallon tank be okay to keep...

Hello, as you can see, I'm new to this site, and rather new to keeping fish. I currently only have a 10 gallon tank with a betta, a few White Cloud Mountain Minnows, and a Chinese Algae Eater I got not too long ago. I am fully aware that the Chinese Algae Eater is going to get much larger and...
