Ok, so ,due to school, I've been neglecting my tank a bit. Nothing's wrong with it, I just haven't kept up to my strict breeding guidelines I had for my fancy guppies, so I basically lost my pretty cobra-lace strain and all I have left are mutts, and I'd just like to let these last few die off...

Hello everyone, I've got a few questions. 1) I recently had to move my fish from a 10gal to a 16gal due to a leak. I managed to transfer about 8gal of the water along with the fish, but the rest is new, treated water. I wanted to know If I should still expect peaks, like when you start a new...

Hello everyone, I've had freshwater tanks for awhile now, and I'd like to start a saltwater tank. I would'nt mind spending money on a larger tank, but seeing as my only job right now is babysitting :roll: , I'd like to know if there's anything I can do with a 16g tall that i've had sitting...

I've been wanting to put some driftwood in my tank for quite some time now, but I can't seem to find any pieces I like. Today I was in the woods behind my yard, playin around in the creek, and I found a REALLY cool piece of wood that looks similar to what they have at aquarium stores. I...

I apologize for the length of this, but I tried to tell the whole story. ok, so I just moved, and the tanks were the last thing i set up in my room. I followed moving advice from some fish article. the fish seemed to be doing quite well, as they usually are, but about a week ago i woke up one...

Ok, so I was browsing at a lfs for some algae eaters, and saw the coolest little fishies, hillstream/butterfly loaches. This store has amazingly healthy fish and great tanks.(a good store to buy from)So, I asked the "fish expert" if they eat algae and he said yes. so I asked him if they could be...

Ok, so both my 10 gal and 16 gal have major algae problems. I have to scrub every surface in the tanks about twice a week. Everything else about the tank is fine... water quality, filter, feeding, etc. So, I was concidering buying an algae eater or ghost shrimp. (one for each tank) I found that...

I recently had to make an emergency move with some guppies from an infested tank to a 10 gal, I didn't have time to let the tank cycle through all the nitrite peaks ect. So I was wondering, when should I expect those so i can keep my fish safe. I set it up yesterday and the fish seem un-bothered...

Well, I now know that fish are the hardest pets to care for. When I started my 16 tall gal, i knew nothing about water quality or nitrates, or anything else. I just thought you added the conditioner, and it would be fine forever. I now know how to properly care for the water (do tests ect.)That...

Oh i feel so bad, I recently discovered that what I thought was ich, is velvet. It's been going on for 3 weeks now, and I wondered why the ich treatment wasn't working. i woke up this morning, and found seven of my lyretail albino mollies dead on the floor.;_; I now only have 2 mollies left.At...

All my mollies in the tank are sick. This isn't affecting any other fish though. I don't know what to do about it!The dorsal and anal fins are pressed up against them, and their tail fin is scrunched up, making it difficult for them to swim. He has to wiggle just to stay up! ;_; I'm really...

I have some idea of what they are, but i'm not entirely sure. i've been browsing here, and it seems they're only available for saltwater tanks. Are they just rocks that people collect out of the ocean with live plants and such? And are they avalible for freshwater?

This is a fun thing to do for those with only 1 male betta that find him boring at times... I only have one male betta, I recently bought (or should I say rescued) from petsmart. His name is Iggy, he's Purpley with red fins.(my fav. colors) I just couldn't leave w/o him, Becides, i already...
