Okay, question, From some of my reading I've seen that some of the less aggressive Ciclids could be good tankmates for Angelfish. As I'm setting up a 46 gallon bow front (It's cycling now) I was wondering if someone could tell me what species might do well as a community, and what else might go...

I'm going to be setting up a ten gallon nano/pico tank here in a few weeks. I'm wondering, what type of lighting would I need to be able to do most corals? It's kind of something for my wife who's fallen in love with corals, so she wants something to sit and admire at her desk. We're currently...

So, I'm getting ready to set up a new, 70 Gallon salt tank which is a bit of an upgrade from the 37 gal I've already got running. I've already got most of my equipment together, and am now looking into the rock issue. So here's my question. Where can I find base rock inexpensively? I'm...

I'm going to be away for about ten days and have no aquarist friends to watch my fish. Food wise, I've set up a pill box with food for the tanks for most of the time (the fish will get fed early on the first night and have to fast for two more which I've read should be ok) My question is, can I...

Hi, I'm thinking about starting a saltwater tank, but I've never even THOUGHT about doing this before. I haven't bought anything yet, and am just starting the research but I was wondering if anyone has any advice and information on the topic. What I've already determined is: 1: I want a smaller...

Hi, I just got into the hobby, and yesterday got an API Master Freshwater Test Kit because everyone here seemed to be certain I needed one. I normally do water changes for my Bettas mini-tanks and my bigger Tanks on wednesday's, so i waited till today and tested everything BEFORE doing a water...

I understand Ghost Shrimp can live in a Fresh Water tank, but someone told me they'd need salt. I've read several profiles online and I've found only one that even refers to them liking "A little Salt" in their water, the rest don't even mention it. So, the question is, do I really need salt...

Hi, I'm a new guy here, and to the aquarium in general. It all started with a Walmart Betta who I was so enraged about the condition he was left in my Fiance and myself bought him an all the kit we could figure went with him with the plan of giving him a quiet place to die (I mean, walmart fish...
