I'm also moving in the coming weeks. My only concern is how to move really shy, skittish fish like my keyhole cichlids and yoyo loaches (who freak out when I change the decor/add new plants). Does anyone have any advice on how to keep them calm during a 1.5 hour move? Should I move them in...

Welcome!

hey hey! How is little Herman doing thus far? Any improvement?

Welcome! Aww platy fry are so cute! All eye! haha

Welcome! :)

If you suspect a lesion is infected I would strongly recommend against using super glue on it. The main ingredient in the glue available OTC is cyanoacrylate which breaks down into cyanoacetate and formaldehyde, both of which are toxic and can lead to nasty inflammatory reactions (plus the glue...

Oh and my friends ALSO think I've gone insane! hahaha

Herman is such an awesome name! In grade three my class had a slider as a class pet and I was lucky enough to watch him ALL summer! Of course I had the worst attention span and one time I left him out of his tank on the floor (I don't even remember what distracted me and made me leave him...

That aquarium is gorgeous! How common is it to keep sea urchins? Do many SW keepers on this site keep them? I don't have a SW set up (for now I just drool at ones in zoos and museums), but I've heard that they are very sensitive little guys. Does anyone care to share their experiences...

Looks great! I haven't seen keyhole cichlids in eons and its a shame because they are a near perfect fish! Are you planning on ordering them online or does a lfs near you actually have them?

You might also want to give local greenhouses that have dedicated pond sections a try as I personally have had a lot of success finding really cheap water plants at such a place. All the plants in my coldwater black moor tank are from greenhouses and about 1/3 of my tropical ones are. I couldn't...

What a cutie! What is his name? Anyway, the spots appeared to be much worse in the photos. At worst its a very minor case of shell rot. Just make sure you keep it clean, disinfected and try to keep him dry (or at least have periods of the day where hes dry). My brother has a slider and he...

I got a bag of flourite black sand for free when I originally bought my granular substrate and this spring I decided to finally use it and added it as a little 'sandbox' for my two very playful loaches. They love rooting around in it! Possibly because its new, but realistically I think they just...

AA! What are the 12 AquariumAdvice steps? 1: We admitted we were powerless over our aquarium hobby --that our lives (and tanks) had become unmanageable.

Where are the brown holes? At the top (new growth) or closer to the roots (old growth)?

Hi there! I'm no turtle expert, but I find it doubtful that he would be shedding for over a month (you mentioned in your photos that you first noticed the white spot a month back). What is your basking set up like? Water parameters? I would definitely want to thoroughly clean his set up. It...

Paulie, how are you finding the PFS so far? I plan on setting up a new tank in the coming months (ideally before Christmas! haha) and I'm curious about using PFS with fertilizers in it. My only real substrate experience has been with flourite, and while I'm perfectly happy with it in my other...

Hi all! While I'm not new to the hobby (even excluding my childhood years spent 'torturing' danios in nightmarish so-called 'aquariums'! *shudders*), I'm certainly new to the site. I currently have two mid-size planted FW tanks (one coldwater, one tropical) as well as a hospital and 'fry' tank...
