    Tricky 36 Gallon Stocking

    In my 36 gallon I currently have: 1 Kribensis 5 Black Skirt Tetra 3 Emerald Cory I've been looking to add more activity to the tank, however small schooling fish never seem to work out. I added some zebra danios and none of them made it, most of them mysteriously disappearing. I think I've been...

    LED = Heavy Algae Problem?

    I recently got an LED light strip for my 60 gallon freshwater tank and I've recently had big algae problems. It's at my school so I brought a glass magnet scrubber from home but that wouldn't scrape a lot of it off. There is now little speckles of red/brown on the front glass that won't rub off...

    Angelfish Pair Aggression?

    I have one gold angelfish in my 60 gallon. I originally bought a pair, but the other didn't eat much and I found it dead after 1 weekend. I immediately replaced that and got a striped angel, but my gold, who had grown, picked on it and that one also didn't make it over 3 days. It's been a few...

    Tankmates to Add?

    I have a 36 gallon with a rainbow shark (about 3 yrs old and still just 3-4 in), 5 glolight tetras, 3 Denison barb, and 2 julii cories. I still have some space, and the only real activity is with the Denison and I'd like some more action so to speak. Any recommendations?

    Healthy Fish, but Dark Water

    My 60 gallon is about 3 months old now, and as time has gone by, I've notice the tank getting darker overall. The lighting isn't that great anyways, but it's now noticably darker. Taking a sample of the water, it is a slightly brown-red, which I can confirm was from my Malaysian driftwood. The...

    Julii Cory Catfish

    I recently got 3 Julii Cory Cats and one died this morning after 1 day. He never moved much, and neither does the other. The third is very active and swimming on the bottom all day. Why did my first die, and why do my remaining two act so differently?

    Feeding Community Tank Vegetables?

    I have a school of glolight tetras and a pair of dwarf cichlids in my 36 gallon.(not fully stocked yet) Is it true that almost all fish will eat vegetables? It would be cool to have them graze on it throughout the day. I have a suction cup with a hook, what veges will they prefer?

    My 2 dwarf gouramis seem to be fighting. They chase each other around without biting or disturbing the other fish. Its a 36 gallon community tank. Neither seems to be the bully, as they each chase each other. Is this a problem?

    Re-Starting 36 Gallon

    I had a tank full of a few pairs of cichlids, but they got too large and aggressive. Someone took them off my hands, and now I'm starting over, with the acception of a rainbow/red fin shark. I want more of a community tank, but the shark can be aggressive. The guy gave me a strawberry tetra and...

    My 2 jewel cichlids are not the beautiful red that I see in pictures. They're more of a brown with their normal, small blue dots scattered around. They're in a 36 gallon with 2 bumblebees, a firemouth, and a sun catfish. Why aren't they bright?

    Bumblebee Cichlid Weird Eye

    I noticed that my smaller bumblebee cichlid has a sort of white puffy eye. He's acting completely normal, but I can barely see his eye through all the cloudyness in his eye. What do you think is wrong with him?
