Are Bristlenose and Bushynose Plecos the same thing? I got what should be a longfin albino Bristlenose pleco today and I just want to make sure that it is in fact one that will stay small. Are the BN the only ones that come in the longfin variety?

I have a 29 gallon with Black Tahitian Moon Sand as substrate and live plants. The filter is a Fluval U4 (internal) that filters 260 gph. I was wondering if it would be appropriate to put an angelfish and 6 cory catfish in it. I can't seem to find a straight answer on how many gallons to...

I currently have two ten gallons that have been set up for a long time. One has a few Guppies (1 female and 2 young males) and the other has a male Betta. They both have live plants. I also recently had to adopt another male Betta from a family member who was not taking care of it. He...

I have a Nerite snail in a 10 gallon cycled aquarium with a Betta and two small African Dwarf Frogs. The water parameters are fine. The last water change was four days ago. Last night, I noticed that the snail hadn't moved much throughout the day. Today, I came home from work and he was...

I have been cycling a 42 gallon tank for a while and I have some questions. The tank has two filters on it, a Fluval U4 and an Aqueon QuietFlow 30. I took the carbon insert out of the HOB filter and stuffed a lot of pieces of cut up filter pad in it. I have 1 ppm ammonia out of my tap. I...

I have a ten gallon aquarium with a Betta, two African Dwarf Frogs, and a Nerite Snail. I have tried feeding the frogs freeze dried foods, peas, and pellets, but all they will eat is frozen bloodworms. When I put the other foods in, they look like they can smell it and want it, but they won't...

I have three tanks right now. When I test the Nitrate in all of them right after each other, do I really need to shake bottle number two all over again each time? I have the API Freshwater Master Test Kit.

This is kind of difficult to explain, but I will try and I hope everyone understands what I mean. It seems as if my filters are not sitting deep enough into my aquarium. They splash a lot of water and I am worried it is unsafe. I realize in the picture that the water level is low, but this is...

Hi, I am new here so I thought I would do an introduction post. I got my first fish (of my adult life) in January. It was a baby Pearlscale Goldfish. I made a few mistakes, but since then I have done a lot of research, and I am now in love with fish keeping. I have found this forum to be...
