I'm making my first adventure into saltwater at college. Hopefully it won't be a misadventure. I've dealt with freshwater for several years now, but I know a lot of that does not transfer over to saltwater. Right now the setup is a Aqueon 30 rated for 200gph and 30-40 gallons. Currently I'm...

As I am now at college. I am planning on setting up a 5 gallon micro-planted tank for my desk. I'd like to do a canister filter or a submersible filter. What sorts of filters would you recommend?

General whit fungus has appeared on my betta after purchase. What sort of medications would work in treatment? Thanks!

Been hearing a lot about this species but am wondering what would make good tank mates as well as minimum tank size! Also, would they get along with a green Severum?

I have a very curious cat, for one he loves fish, but I allow him to watch because he does not sit there pawing the glass for hours on end and my fish dont seem to mind. However, he likes to jump on top of things and I have a very flimsy plexiglass set up on top of the tank as a sort of...

Recently I have become interested in several dwarf south american cichlids such as panda dwarf cichlids and many othe dwarf appistos and am wondering the temperaments of these species of fish along with their general friendliness to other species such as Bolivian rams? Any advice and or...

As of so far, I have the silica sand ready to go. I'm planning on a South American styled tank with lots of rocks and driftwood. I'm still trying to figure out plants, but I'm thinking some low level crypts, mosses, swords and maybe some jungle valisernia. The stocking list I mostly have...
