    Goldfish in tropical tanks

    Would it be ok to have my goldfish in a tropical tank for a few weeks while it's own tank is cycling? The tank is at 76 degrees. It would probably be for 2 weeks. I have it in a 5 gallon but I feel sorry for it. Could I move it?

    How many cories?

    Hi! I was wondering how many cories you should keep together. Some websites say you should get a group of 5 at least, some people say you should have a trio or pair. Do you think the more the merrier? And what do you say about mixing different types? I love my peppered cories, but I would love...

    Sexing a pearl gourami

    Hi I have a pearl gourami, had it since august and I'm not sure if it's male or female. I'm pretty sure it's a male, because it has "fringe" on its pelvic fin (the one under it's belly, not sure if that's the right name for it) I read that males always have it but wasn't sure it it was supposed...
