I was just wondering what types of veggies you feed your cherry shrimp and weather you boil it first or just put it in raw.

I have a relatively new, about two months, cherry shrimp tank. It's a 5.5 with a half dozen cherry shrimp and 5 white clouds. There is a good algae mat on the back and sides and the water temp is a consistent 74-76 f. As of two days ago I had 1 shrimp carrying eggs and another saddled and the...

I have a cycled 5.5 I've been using as a grow out for assassin snails and I decided I want to turn it into a planted betta tank but I haven't had anything smaller than a 20 since I was a little kid. I was thinking of using Eco complete capped with sand as my substrate and the hood is a screw-in...

So i have a 5.5 that is cutrrently being used a s a growout for assasin snails but thay are a good size and will be going to the pet store for credit soon (50 cents a peice doesnt seem like much but when you have 20+ it ads up). That leaves me with a cycled 5.5 gal with nothing but a hood...

My LFS has some and I think they're meet but I don't know much about them and was wondering if anyone had experience with them? Would they get along with corys? And how many should you have in a tank? Is a 29 big enough for a small group?

My nephew got a 20g hex tank for his bday and I was helping set it up today. He was wondering if we could do a species tank for tiger barbs. Would this tank be big enough for tiger barbs? It's 16x16x21

I've been focused on the 29 and haven't said anything about my revamped 20 gal high so I wanted to fix that. Here is the stock list: 1x powder blue dwarf gourami 8x harlequin rasbora 5x pygmy cory 1x oto Originally I had 4 otos but only 1 survived, im debating on if im gonna get another batch...

I got this cory with a group of pandas but it isn't a panda any ideas?

So I've been working on this tank for what seems like forever but it is now cycled and partially planted. The plants in it now came out of my 20. Going to get the rest of the plants and the first group of fish Monday (assuming the job im supposed to be working this weekend doesn't get rained...

Was thinking about getting a marineland LED hood for the 10 gal im setting up in my sons room to make it a cool night light. I've heard some people say they really liked them and others say that they burn out fast and often. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with this hood, good...

I was doing a water change on my cycled 30 gal and getting it ready for plants and fish next week when I noticed a gray fuzz on my driftwood. The wood soaked for a month in very hot tap water after being ran through the dishwasher (no soap of coarse) and then spent a couple days in tank water...

My anubias nana has a "baby" and as I am setting up a new tank I would like to separate it but I have no idea how to go about that. Here are some pictures of the off chute

My dad asked if I wanted his 90 gal tank. He hasn't had it set up in years so I may need to reseal it so it will be a while b4 I can set it up. I like schooling fish so I wanted to do a community tank will several large schools of tetras and other peaceful south american fish. Any suggestion...

My ac is out again and the temps going to be 95+ for the next few days. Any ideas on how to keep the water temp down for my tetras? I know they can deal with low 80s but I don't know how well they would deal with low 90s and id rather not cook them in there own home

Ok so I have an established 20 gal tank and a new cycled 30. I started the build for the 30 months ago but after moving and such it was delayed but now it is up and running so its time to figure out what im doing with them. The 20 have 2 schools of tetras and a few plants. I would like to make...

Stock will be a few schools of tetras, a school of panda corys and a bristle nose pleco. I've got drift wood soaking now (hooray for living...

I currently have a SAE in my 20gal but i was thinking of trading it for a pleco, i know most of them get too big for a 20 but i was thinking about a pitbull pleco or otos. i know if i get otos i should get 3 or 4 of them but i dont know much about pitbull plecos other than they are small and i...

hey i got a new 10 gal tank and wanted to put it in my kids room. I like live plants but have never done more than 3 or 4 but i want this to be something cool for him to look at and i wanted to put a day/night hood on it so the "moon" light would work as a night light. I was planning on doing...
