My tank has been up and running for about 6-7 months. I did an fish-less cycle and everything went fine. I slowly added stock and haven't put anything new in there except a couple apple snails about a month ago. When I started my stock was: 4 Dalmatian Molly's 4 balloon Molly's 4 sunburst platys...

I have 2 sunburst platys and 1 balloon molly who has been flashing. There are no signs of ich. Everyone's eating fine, there's been no new additions for months, and my parameters are Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 ppm (I have live plants) My tank has been cycled for 6 months. I need...

I am new to saltwater. I know a lot about freshwater but saltwater is not my speciality as of today. I'm wanting to start a saltwater tank but I want other advice and wisdom on the matter. I would like to invest in a nice 55 g tank which probably wouldn't be drilled for a sump system. Does a 55g...

I have lots of pond snails in my 55 g tank. I am considering buying a few clown loaches for the clean up. I know they will out grow my 55 eventually but I would transfer them to my Mothers 200g community tank eventually. But I have 2 questions I have apple snails who are pretty big and I'm...

I have an African clawed frog in a 10 g planted tank. I feel like be doesn't have enough swimming room and am considering moving him to my 55. The only thing I worry about is him eating my grown molly/platy or my kuhli loaches (who don't really come out a lot) I hear that sometimes it's hard for...

How soon can you rehome platy and molly fry?

I have a male molly who has been having a problem swimming up right. He can't stay straight. I'm assuming its his swim bladder because that's what it looks like. I've tried feeding peas and I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

I plan on buying 2 for my 55g tank. I do have 2 HOB filters and wonder if the tops are going to not allow the water to fall into the tank. Ive never bought these before, but Ive had them on a saltwater tank with a built in overflow so I didnt have the filters. Please explain. :fish2:

I may be buying a 55 g without lids or lights. I'm attaching a picture of the tank and the versatops I found. The question is.. There's a support beam in the middle so it won't be a full 48 inch glass cover. What sizes should the 2 be...

Some of my guys are flashing. I need to get the right meds but I wanted to ask first. I have kuhli loaches, fry, live plants, and 2 snails in my tank. I don't want to harm them. My ammonia is 0 Nitrite 0 And nitrate is fine No new members except the 2 snails. I noticed about a week ago that...

I'm going to buy a saltwater tank in the near future. What should I look at when buying used? I don't want to get jyped out of money if I could get a better deal buying new. People sometimes over price their aquariums.

Does anyone have any experience with these fish? I know they get fairly large and are somewhat 'peaceful' I'd really like to own one but want to do my research. I have mollies and platys in my tank so I just want to make sure they're compatible. I also have black kuhli loaches. I'd hate for them...

So I've been doing A lot of reading (well, what I can find) on peacock eels. As of now I have a standard 55, planted with lots of and hiding places. You can look at the picture in a second :) as of now I have 4 Dalmatian mollies, 4 sunburst platys, 4 balloon mollies, 5 kuhli loaches and 1...

I'm doing the heat method. Clearly can't do salt because of the loaches. I'm creeping my temp up to 86. Is that ok for the loaches? They all seem to be out and about tonight and they don't usually all come out.

I have an empty 10 gallon tank. What should I put in it?

I have a 55g community tank. As of now it inhabits mollies, platys, a rubber lip pleco and some kuhli loaches. My question is about a dwarf gourami. I've read they are 'peaceful' fish but I've always read they can get aggressive with their own species. Even with fish not of their own species...

Here is a picture or 2. I've only found one fry :( I'm kinda disappointed. Is it normal to just have one?

Someone tell me how pretty it is. My husband just doesn't appreciate plants. He gives me the 'oooohhhh yeahhhh' I say it just like that when I'm not interested in something! Lol It's growing up so that's pretty cool

I may very well be upgrading my 55g up to a 100g this weekend. How can't do this without crashing my cycle? I might just cycle the 100 g and leave the 55 alone. I'm not sure how to do this 'safely'. Any suggestions?

Anyone have any experiences with them? I'm sure they don't do much but the idea of them is cool.

Is this guy a pest snail? I'm leaning towards yes, and have discovered a few in my tank. They're coming off my live plants I've been buying.

I bought this off eBay. The guy who sold it to me marked it as Crystalwort but I'm thinking its not by looking at Google images. Do you all have any idea what it is?

Was curious if you all thought she was pregnant, or even a she for sure?
