My new 55 is on the stand and I'm researching stocking. So far it's going to have 18 tiger barbs (6 standard, 6 albino, 6 green) a red tail black shark and 3 (or 4 if I change my mind and go dwarf) cichlids, still researching and making final decisions there. Tank will have heavy rock scape on...

Yay! I finally infected my man enough with MTS that we are getting a 55 gallon tank. Now i need stocking advice, lol. Currently we have a 10 g with a betta and black neons. An adf tank. A 36g with harlequin and espei rasboras, black phantom tetras, panda cories, 2 rams, cardinal tetras, and...

So my bf is coming down with MTS and I'm not doing anything to help cure him, lol. We were out today and saw some amazing prices on column aquariums, one was 47 gallons, the other 56. What would you put in this style aquarium? If i had some ideas/suggestions it may fan the fire lol. I'd want...

Earlier this week I added a nice watersprite to my 36G tank and also 3 banana plants. I already had 4 crypts, 2 anubis, 8ish java fern, and some anachris. Everything has been thriving with the exception of the anachris, I think it gets bothered too much from the fish, keeps breaking apart...

So i went intending to buy my cardinal tetras today and ended up instead getting two metallic blue rams. The employee said he had trouble sexing jueveniles so i pull out the smart phone, make the bf pull out his smart phone and the three of us each made our best guess to pick a male and female...

I can't tell if my black phantom tetras are fighting or "dating." I looked up youtube and its indecisive still. I have 3 female and 2 male. The two in question are the alpha male and biggest female. The behaviour is similiar to when the two males decided who was the man in charge, all puffed...

I have 3 itty bitty tiny weeny panda cory babies. They were sold as babies, I didn't breed them. I knew they were considerably smaller but didn't realize just how small until I put them in the tank with my 3 adult pandas. Based on what I could find about cory devolopment they appear to be...

So I've developed a bit of a snail problem, yeah, I know, most likely over feeding. I've cut down on the amount I'm feeding and trimmed any plant areas that didn't seem 100% healthy. The biggest snail problem is in my 36G tank, but the 10G betta/shrimp tank seems to have some too, I moved some...

Just for giggles cuz I'm bored at work, I want to hear the funniest thing you've ever over heard while shopping at the LFS. My boyfriend and I went on a "date" to the LFS, its a huge wharehouse style one, they sell freshwater, saltwater, plants, corals, the whole nine yards. We were just...

Ok, so I have this idea I want to try where I want to make a sand "path" in my tank. I've started switching my gravel to more natural small stones, going to finish that first. My idea is using rocks or thin stone slabs to create a division between the gravel stones and the sand. Is there a...

My 36G tank has been fully cycled now for a couple weeks and I've completed a lot of my intended stock being that all the fish were newer and the tank was newer I had not used QT for new fish yet. Current stock: 5 Harlequin Rasbora 2 Espei Rasbora (going to get 3 more once they are available...

So, our 5.5G betta/adf tank was upgraded to a 10G after one of the frogs died of suspected chytrid fungus (only had him a month). The old tank was cycled, so moved half the gravel and the filter and half the decorations to the new tank. Moved over the betta and ADF, added 3 ghost shrimp and 2...

Posting this for my boyfriend. Please help him, I don't want to see him cry. For a month now he's had a 5.5G tank running with two ADF and a betta, using an HOB filter that came with the tank, some live floating plants to give the betta a place to rest out of the current and some fake plant...

Thus is my first tank with live plants please give me some feedback on what you think of my aqua scaping!

Ok, so my first planted tank has been going over 2 weeks now. 2 Anubis (as per your guys advice, anchored now to mopani), 4 crypts, 1 moss ball, a bunch of java fern has been in there since the start, and I recently added 3 bunches of anacharis because I realize I didn't have enough plants to...

Just wanted to share this and ask a question. So my tank has been going fish-in not so silent cycle (I don't think my plant load was large enough for a true silent cycle) for 2 weeks, amonia under control, just waiting for nitrites to drop off now, big daily water changes until its under...

I'm bad at being brief but I'll try, actual questions in bold if you just want to skim. 10/8 - Got and set up a beautiful new 36G aquarium, a generous gift from my sweetie cuz he knew I really missed the tanks I'd had years ago. 10/9 - already knew about cycling from past tanks, researched...

This is my first time doing a "real" planted tank, I'm sticking to the recommended easy to grow plants. They have been in the tank about a week, everything is looking great. My question is this... I've decided I want to put some really awesome wood I bought where I located some of the plants...

I have a new 36G bowfront, its planted right now, not ready for fish yet, but I need to have a plan for when I am ready. Dark substrate, darker background. Still looking for a good "cave-like" decoration but don't want one that will take too much horizontal space or look unnatural with the...
