As far as I've read, they aren't too picky about temps. I'll probably just put them in my community tank to be safe. Thanks a bunch!

I'm going to be getting 3 Axolotls soon, and I was wondering if I would be able to keep them with two full grown (bigger than golfball) sized Mystery Snails? Totally fine if I can't, I have other tanks, but I was just wondering if it would work!

They don't NEED substrate, but they are okay with having sand in the tank.

Thank you so much for all of the information you have provided me! We're thinking of doing a goldfish tank with a 50-75 gallon tank now instead of the 30, to give them more room. The reason for this is because I kind of discovered Axolotls and am dying to get some XD Love the goldies, but those...

Oooh, I'll have to look that up! Yeah, I know they're a big commitment, I just need to convince my mother they're worth it when I leave for school in a couple years, LOL! They aren't my goldfish in the big tank, they're actually my aunts :D The goldfish I gave her was white-pink, and is now a...

Thank you so much! Yes, I wasn't sure if I could permanently keep them in here, but I'm willing to upgrade in the future :D I would upgrade immediately, but I have no funds and they'll be pretty small to start! Okay, driftwood laying down- I'll get on that! It just won't stop floating! And I'll...

I've had a goldfish once in the past, named Hannibal, who I rescued from a .5g "tank" in a pet store. He was in a 5 gallon for 3 weeks before being given to his now permanent home, a 150-180 gallon tank with two other goldfish (who are 25 years old). Ever since Hannibal, I've wanted more...

I only have one tank that has one fish in it- a little 2.5 gallon on my desk with Milo the Betta. He has tons of live plants to swim through and sits with me when I go online :) I have 3 males in a divided 10 gallon, planted like crazy with places to hide, and the rest of my tanks are also...

I got my male (I only know because I've caught the other one laying eggs four times) last August and I my female last... I want to say January. So they didn't breed until sexual maturity, a while after I got them.

There's a way to tell the males from the females, but I've never been able to do it. Yes, you need a male and female, but it only takes one time. After one mating, the female can then have an egg clutch every 4+ days for the rest of her life. I've had... 16 clutches, but not all successful...

If you got rid of the Comet, you might be able to get another kind of fancy goldfish :)

Right now you're actually overstocked, so no, I wouldn't suggest anymore fish in there.

I love my Mystery Snails! I just don't love their 200+ children that are living in my tank! I don't have the heart to crush the eggs, so the babies hatch, and no one eats them. Be careful, you could end up with hundreds of little Mystery Snail friends!

That sounds like such a great tank! I was thinking of Pearl Gouramis, but no one in the area carries them, so I asked what other kinds they had and came up with Moonlight :) Unless they're the same thing and both myself and the pet stores are just stupid XD We're still not sure of doing it, but...

That's what I was thinking too. My only problem that I have a lot of plant roots in my gravel, so I may instead keep my Pleco in there and put the Loaches in the 50g... Thanks, that's what I told her, but she wants coloured sand, and I keep trying to tell her it isn't a good idea XD

That would be cool! I think I'll go for that :) Do you know what colours pool sand comes in? My mum wants bright colours, which I think we shouldn't so the fish will pop, but whatever XD And totally off topic- I have a 30 gallon that currently holds 4 female Bettas, and they'll be leaving this...

So I was trying to figure out a stocking plan with the Barbs and the Gourami, but no matter what I did bio levels were always super high. So I'm trying to come up with a way to make this work... My mother wants me to put my Gourami and Barbs in there so I can have one less tank, but I just don't...

Update- it's looking like the space we chose won't work with a 55 gallon, so we're opting for a 50 gallon, which is like a foot less in length. I checked on Aquadvisor (not too trustworthy, I know) and this is what I was thinking: 1 Gold Gourami 9 Gold Barbs 2 male Guppies 6 female Guppies 1...

Oh, I didn't realize they were literally painted! Poor little guys :( Okay, what about the fish I mentioned before and a school of 7-9 Ghost Catfish? I know absolutely nothing about them, but they look amazing. I'm still gathering information, and this won't be happening anytime soon. If not...

Wow, a lot more replies than I was expecting! LOL! I'm thinking sand is the way to go! With this tank, I'm hoping my mother will be paying (probably not, but I can dream!) and black sand sounds really cool! I really like the Tetra species tank, but I think my mum wanted different kinds of fish...

This may not happen, but a 55g tank may be going into my basement! I'm looking to ask for stocking advice on it. These are some fish I would LOVE in the tank, but I realize I can't have all of them. I'm looking for suggestions of species, along with people telling me what on my list doesn't mix...

Perfect! Glad to hear! Sororities are amazing if you know what's going on (you'll learn fast if you don't ;) ) but can also be a pain in the butt. One girl is great, they're so friendly and great with other fish :) Awesome, sounds like it's all going to work fine! I also did some quick...

Try fasting for three or four days, then very small and once daily feedings for another two. See if that helps her at all.

Take those Bettas out, a sorority needs at least five girls. People have done it with less, but trust me, even with ten I had shredded fins and flesh wounds. With four, you'll get dead fish. It's not worth the risk, and you can find many other types of fish in their place :) Just one girl would...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). She is a female Betta, and she has some kind of white/grey growth on her face. I will post a picture below. She also seems to have...
