Aiken provides sound advice. An additional way to get what you need would be to scour free postings where people need to get rid of tanks and stuff, because their kids don't care about the fish anymore or, their fish died and they gave up, or moving, etc. Another way is when people post for...

There were a LOT of fish, but of course with 3 tanks a 10G a 30G and a 55G with metal stand. All the fish were in good condition. It looked like there had been a Glo fish tank in the 30G (large amounts of Glo rocks with black gravel). There were a nice, matured group of Tiger Barbs yellow...

Welcome. Soil tanks can be a struggle. Many people love them. Hello to Pearl. I used to have a Pearl. Very sassy and friendly but bossed the tank. Those fish knew to make way for the boss. White pearl body with red fins.

What is your ammonia reading? Nitrite and Nitrate? Test, write down numbers. Doing a water change is usually a good idea even if you think the numbers are in the safe zone and you have an ill fish. Do a water change 25-30% then test again. If any numbers are near the high range or the...

She would get squared looking in her body, pics look like she's getting there and probably hiding to have babies. Do you have babies now?

Nice to have you. Welcome to the community!

Really great that you can add photos!

Looking fresh!

Ok, Angellfish Whisperer. Facts are the same. The one to listen to!

Life really keeps your schedule full up!!! So happy to see you back!!!

Andy is the master of Angelfish!!!

Welcome back!

Thank you for the help! New things can be great but also annoying!!!

Got a message for a "rescue" of 3 tanks of fish from a home where someone/ roomie never came back to get their 3 aquariums of fish for 3 months and they need someone else to move in that room. I guess the fish aren't paying their rent. So will be taking a look in the morning and, grabbing...

Big day of fish tank maintenance. 72G scrape the inside glass and wipe the outside glass. Removed some pesky BBA at the outflow area. While the water was low I sprayed a bunch with peroxide and scraped it off the out-flow nozzles. Did the usual 35G pwc where the water loses suction on the...

Sometimes giving birth can be like this. Guppies can be affected and they could pass. Having her in the breeder box is helpful to keep her away from males. But stressful because she may not have any plants or a place to feel safe hiding. Also usually right at the brightest lights. If you...

Well, I missed this post earlier, but how lucky that one lil fish was that you were there! My dad with Alzheimers, once fed about an ounce or 2 of freeze-dried chicken cat food topper treat to my one Betta in a 5G tank.....:hide: I have been missing everyone around here. I am hoping to be...

Well, perhaps someone can get you some cycled media for the new burdensome tank. But yes. Life gets in the way. I just took a few minutes the other day to find a photo of something for a family friend who's family began the fish keeping journey again in December. Their initial journey...

Well, I hope like with mine you'll see more than you thought. At least there are some and the larger one is likely a female and probably the food stealer, survivalist. :lol:

More like an Olive Nerite. Could be similar type to Olive, haven't shopped for these in a long time. They can be plain colored or have tiny lines from what I remember

Late to the Christmas party, but hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has had and will have a lovely holiday season. Happy New year and may the future of 2024 be better than 2023. Love to my fish friends.

Those parameters are good.

I bought 10 Amano shrimp and could find only 2. A week or 2 later I found all of them here and there. There is a chance they recently molted and are hiding, sometimes happens after a water change, a bunch will molt around the same time and hide for a few days. But also they could have become...

A search indicates they have a kind of short life span 2 + years. Though I have had animals live longer than the usual lifespan! Just make sure there is good calcium rich foods in the diet and vary it. A basic food would be Hikari Crab Cuisine and you might be able to feed defrosted Mysis...

Great to know at least one major hurdle would be able to remedy busy new fish combination.
