I brought a Cumberland slider about a week ago and when I got it home I noticed that the back of his shell looked decayed like in the pic Now it's slowly spreading up the side edges and the bottom of the shell looks pale and whitish on the joins. I have a UVA+UVB bulb and a decent basking area...

Picked up a channa pulchra yesterday and researched how to care for them but I couldn't find much information, I would like a pleco especially a blue phantom and I know my set up is ok for 1 but will the snake head be to aggressive?

Hi, I am going to get some oscars today and would like to know what is a good number? Space isn't an issue because I have a 120g set up ready and I have a 750g I'm building now. I basically want to know how to keep aggression down, I was hoping to get 4-5 O's, do you think this will work?

Each day my fish's fins are torn a little bit again, its nothing serious and is mostly healed by the next day but then it happens again! ATM I am suspecting my spotted gar but here is my list incase anyone has had this happening before. My fish are: Red tail catfish 6-7 inch Rtcxtsn catfish...

I noticed yesterday that my 8" tiger shovelnose ( pseudoplatstoma fasciatum ) has an elongated triangle indent running down his head/snout, is this normal or is there something wrong with him?

I have only just found out about this fish and I really like them! I can easily meet all there requirements but I have heard they can be aggressive and I don't want my other fish hurt, has anyone got any experience with them? Also known as crystal eye catfish and bagridae wyckii.

Can anyone tell me the names of this catfish so I can research it, I really like it but idk what it is lol any help appreciated.

What are the smallest turtles? and what size do they get?

I have 4 peacock bass they are all doing very well and I have got them from half an inch to around 2, I was just wondering when they start to develop their true colours like the spot by their tail and their gold/yellow colour.

I have been toying with the idea of a reef tank for quite a while but always talked myself out of it, I am thinking of taking the plunge into salt water aquaria next year sometime and just want to know what essential equipment I need ( apart from the tank obviously lol) I have a lot of...

I got a tank last night and it is full of guppies but I found a pleco, I think it's possibly a bristle nose but It looks more brown than the blueish colour they normally are, the pics aren't very good but hope you can help

Put up your favourite or best photos, any are welcome just send your favourites :) here is 1 I randomly took earlier today and I like the way it looks :p

My new baby giraffe catfish :) he is about an 1 1/2 inch and I had to show him off!

I am after a big cichlid and my 2 favourite are peacock bass or oscars ATM I am thinking 3-5 peacock bass because they are going to have an rtc as a tank mate and the get bigger than oscars but are they as fun as oscars? Like have they got as much personality?

Hi, I want some floating or surface plants for my tropical aquarium, I like water Lily's but I how only found some that would over run the tank easily, all suggestions appreciated. I prefer plant like Lily type things rather than floating like duck weed type of thing.

I was wondering if there was any good water lillies that will be good for my 650 litre aquarium, I found a really nice blue flowering 1 that was said to be good for tropical climates but that was ages ago and I don't know anything about them! Hoping someone can help :)

I got him today and he was labeled as an ornate bichir but after someone pointed out to me it didn't look like 1 and after searching google images I agree but what is it? I am hoping its 1 that grows big because its a tank mate for my tiger shovel nose cat.

Just wanted to show him off, I'm thinking of calling him Rex :)

Hi, I am not the most experienced with plants but most of them are thriving its just these plants and the 2 fake ones I have, why is this happening?

Hi, I just wondered why some of my fish's colour has faded and other fish of the same species have really bright colours, my clown loaches, pictus and coridoras adolfoi are the most noticeable, they are all in perfect health so I'm not worried about it being sickness it's just strange.

It's not my tank it's my sisters but I help her with it a lot, she changed her tank about a week ago and some of her fish have been dying so I just told her to do a PWC until I could test it today, anyways everything was fine on the API masters kit except nitrAtes and they was sky high, I have...

Hi, I want to get this gar but want to research 1st. It just had gar written on the tank and the shop was to busy to ask anyone so I am hoping someone on here can help?

Ok 1st of all he looked fine when he was in the tank at the store and when I 1st added him but now he swims with his mouth constantly... extended is the best way I can describe it and also he doesn't have a tail! I thought this was how they was until I looked at pics on the web, he just has a...

I want a pond that I can keep tropical catfish in like TSN and maybe an RTC but I don't know the best way to heat it :/ I was looking at pool heaters but would that be any good? Can they stay on all the time? Do they keep consistent temp and is there any different or more economical ways to do it?
