Hello, I'm in need of opinions. Picked up a fish today from a college girl who didn't have time for it. Its an orange and black molly, I was startled when I got there to find it in a bag of orange water which should have been a red flag....got it home and did a slow acclimation with my tank...

I am a chronic rearranger. I dunno if that's a word... But I am. I cannot keep the same look in my tank for more then a couple weeks. I like switching it up. I've decided any live plants I keep will have to be in pots. I drive myself nuts. I do the same thing with furniture, every couple months...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? Cardinal tetra, popeye with what appears to be small white worms inside of the 'bubble' and eye ball. Also one small speck that looks funny near the dorsal fin, not sure if its a damaged scale or some type if critter? 2~What are your tank parameters- ammonia...

I know there are tons of these so my apologies but did my research before picking them out and I did my best to sex them in tank. So now they are home and I'm a little confused. So I shall post pics and would love opinions. One of them... The less dominant I couldn't get a good pick of in tank...

Stock 7 Juvies angels growing out 6 cardinal tetras 4 albino Cory's 2 female GBR I keep my tank pretty pristine, never had a nitrate reading over 20ppm. My question is for the angelfish heads ;) as they grow and pair up I have to decide to keep a pair or keep a couple that don't pair and are...

I've been going back and forth trying to figure out what was going on in my tank and I finally think I've figured it out. This might be a little long winded but I thought it might be an interesting topic if discussion and maybe help someone else out with the best way to figure out the aggressive...

The 2 types I hear most often are cardinal or rummy nose.. Does anyone have experience with others that do good with angels? Obviously I'm trying to avoid fin nippers. Thanks!

I know most people vacuum half the gravel during each weekly water change. So I have questions for all the gravel vacuumers out there. Do you just skim the top of the gravel or do you vacuum all the way down to the bottom of the tank? If you have caves and plants/fake plants do you remove...

My guppies are mean to each other, one just succumbed to his months of being bullied. I did only get 3 when I bought so I know the aggression wasn't distributed evenly. Now bully man is beating up number 2. Tail shredded, did a round of meds to hopefully help it heal but I know the bullying...

My albino Cory's are in qt, I noticed red veins running through there tails and small bright red spots near pectoral fins. About 8 months ago we battled a really severe bout of fin rot, so there pectoral fins are not whole. I've been through so much with them and nursed them back from having 0 fins.

I got these guppies about 6-8 months ago, maybe a bit longer. I have 3 and ever since I brought them home one is getting bullied, I totally get the pecking order and all but I feel terrible for him(?) his tail has been split the entire time I've owned him, my water is perfect. 0 ammonia 0...

Today my male yellow mystery snail presented the perfect opportunity to take a picture for helping others identify the sex of there snails, thought I would share. Unless I am completely clueless, but i think i got this right. The hollow tube on the left is the 'male organ' and in the pic with...

I decided to do a couple DIY decorations and decided to post some pics for ideas for anyone else who might be looking for ideas. I make a cave using silicone and glass beads from petsmart. All together I probably spent 12$ on the beads and silicone. I decided to buy silk hobby plants to DIY some...

Has anyone used a house like this? I think it's concept is awesome and my Cory's may like it when they go in the tank, and loaches if I get them but I'm a little concerned about the spinning wheel. I'm worried about a fish some how getting stuck in it. Any thoughts? I like the look of it I got...

I got a 55g tank off Craigslist today that came with a few fish, 2 lampeye tetras, 1silver dollar, and a pleco, since reading about how big they get I considered getting a rubber lip but I'm pretty sure this is a common and I want to re-home him. Help me out pleco experts!

The center bracket on my 55 is broken is there something typically used to fix/replace these I could find at a hardware store? I figured I could find a similar sized piece of metal or something but hoping someone has a specific recommendation. Thanks

Im doing my first fishless cycle I got my test kit in yesterday, the tank has been set up for about a week I added some good old filters from my 10 gallon for seeding material, I also put a couple cups of gravel from the other tank in a sock (is that stupid? I didnt want the other colored gravel...

My 10 gallon is slightly over stocked, 4 albino Cory's 3 guppy a 2 mystery snails and a breeder box housing... My 55 is cycling and sometimes when I look at it empty I feel like 55 gallons isn't as big as it seems and stocking properly will be and interesting journey, because its not as big as...

Im currently cycling a 55 gallon, and would love opinions for stocking. So far the only fish I *Know will be in the tank are a school of albino cories, I have 4 adults now 1 fry who is about a month old and plan on adding at least 2 more. I think I want 4 kuhli loaches. I know I want 1 or 2...

Im in the process of cycling my 55 gallon tank. and Im trying to plan my fish. Im a terrible decision maker. So ALOT of thought is going in to the best mates in the tank. The only fish I have now that I KNOW will live in the 55 are my albino cory cats, we've been through alot together and they...

Ive been prowling online for a while for info about fishless cycling a new-to-me 55 gallon tank and figured it was about time I actually joined a forum for info and questions. I have a 10 gallon I added fish to when it was only set up for a few days and I spent a good year trying to actually get...
