Sorry I felt this was the best place to share my recent at work experience. You might be wondering what that has to do about fish, but let me explain. I work at a grocery store and someone decided it was a good idea to buy a fish for the front end managers desk. They had / have no clue what...

I'm looking for a small unique piece of drift wood for my 10 gallon but no stores around here have anything remotely unique. Are there any online stores that specialize in driftwood?

I haven't been here in a really long time. I see that the site got a nice upgrade since my last visit. I was checking things out in the gallery and there is a image there that says it was uploaded by me but I have never seen that image before in my life. Again I haven't been here in a long time...

I tried to search for an answer but I haven't been able to find one. Someone I know says you can age water to remove chlorine by letting it stand 48 hours. I personally haven't ever tried it but I was wondering if this does indeed work?

I was wondering if anyone had any photos of dyed fish that they would be willing to let me use on my new website. They would be in an article that educates people about the methods they use to dye the fish and the horrible effects that it causes. If you don't want to reply here you can pm me...

Not sure if this should go here or not. But out of curiousity how can you tell if a fish dies of old age? Seems kinda hard but maybe there are some signs to look for.

I will be moving in less than a month and this question keeps nagging me, although its kinda dumb. What do you do with the dead fish? Normally at home I go out and burry them in the garden. But I dunno if they would want me digging or not. So I'm kinda wondering what to do with them.

In a little over a month I am going to be moving into an appartment. The total time to reach my new home will be a little over an hour. I really want to take the tank becuase it would end up costing a lot to drive home every week to clean it. And no one will want to deals with the up keep of...

It has been 4 weeks and 2 days and they havent hatched yet. I read they can take up to 5 weeks. They don't smell bad. But I don't know if they will hatch or not. I'm not sure what to do with them. I can post a photo later if that will help determine if they are fertile to begin with.

I just ordered a new bulb and it arrived broken. I'm wondering if they are harmful? I think I'm gonna put it in the garage for now just in case.

I probably asked some of this before but I have since forgotten. I added a bubble wand about 24 inches long. I used to run one then I stopped for like a year becuase of my plants but now theres not many plants so I decided to add it again. The fish seem to like it :) But a lot of the bubbles...

I have been diagnosing the type of algae I've had as the wrong type, for who knows how long. I though it was black brush algae which some of it is but I'm not too worried about that because its only in a few places. I think I have a type of cyanobacteria :( The thing that kept throwing me off...

I noticed today that my gravel is really compacted in some areas which probably isn't helping my plants at all. And I was thinking about maybe going to petsmart and seeing if they would give me some mts since there tanks are covered lol. I don't think they eat plants. The only thing I'm...

My snail kind of was stuck in an intake and I'm not sure if she is still alive. I should have though about that happening. Usually she is a smaller tank and she laid eggs so I moved her so she wouldn't knock them off. :(

I have been fighting black brush algae for quite some time and recently I think that maybe my zaire root may be the cuase. I've had it in my aqurium for about a 1 year and a half. Could parts of it be rotting and messing with my water paramaters? Is there a way I could clean it maybe or...

Well I think this will satisfy my need for another tank at least for the time being. In a few months I will be getting a 29 gallon. Now I have an idea of the fish I want but still not sure on the quantity. I know I will have a few mystery snails cause I want to move them out of my 50 gallon...

My ram was hungry and he stuck a whole shrimp pellet in his mouth and I think its stuck. What should I do?

:D Okay I just noticed them today they are in a huge group on my tank lid. They are right by where the airstone is so the water that splashs is keeping them moist. Now I'm not sure what happens from here... I have by my guess best guess 400-500 at least lol. I read that they can take from...

See my tank description below or maybe im going crazy.

Well I think mts has hit and I plan on buying a eclipse 12. I would like to have a betta, some small schooling fish like white clouds, also I would like some panda corys, a few apple snails and a few ghost. I would want maybe like 8 panda corys and I dont know if I could fit in a school of...

I'm thinking of changing what covers the opening to my tank to plexiglass. My current thing came with the tank and its not very clear, kinda hard to describe but its textured. So I'm thinking something more smooth will let more light through. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

My tank and its occupants are listed below. I find it hard to tell what the stocking limits are on a tank. Some are obvious but for mine I really don't know. And the tank is also planted. I would like to still add are a few more silver tips since I got one by accident when purchasing my...

I recently bought a profile power head. There is a area for a airline for aeration. I don't want to use the airline if possible and have it fully submerged, would this be a problem? Thanks in advance :)

When I went to my lfs I bought some more Lemon tetras. Later I realized one was a silvertip. It seems to think its a lemon tetra i think. It schools with them so far and stuff. I'm just wondering if I will have problems later.

I currently have a fluval 304 and I'm thinking of adding another filter sort of like a back up or just and additional one. I'm thinking of maybe a Whisper or something not sure what size to get either.
