    what are these?

    I think they are fish eggs, but i'm not sure. There are some clusters of them, all on the back of my tank. Some of my red eye tetras are swimming by them and it looks like they are trying to protect them. Never had this before.

    Snail eggs????

    I pulled one of my feeder snails out of my tank to feed my puffer, and it had a clear, gel like sac attached to it and, it appeared to have eggs in it. I thought they layer their eggs above the water line.

    zebra danios

    For the last few days, one of them has been pestering the others. I don't know if they are playing around, mating, fighting, or what. It looks like they are trying to push each other out of their way. It seems like there is only one instigating it all. This fish has "whiskers" that appear to...

    overstocking......

    Hypothetical.... If you had an overstocked tank, and you were willing to keep up on frequent WC, would it affect cycling or the bacteria colony? Would you be able to maintain a healthy tank?

    Prego Platy?

    She keeps getting fatter by the day. Should I put her in a breeder net, or let her birth the fry and then try to catch them and put them into said net? First time with one.

    filters

    Can someone please explain to me the differences between the kinds of filters, i.e.: power, power head, canister, biowheel. I just want to make sure I've got the right ones for my tanks, if there are any pros/ cons. Thanks.
