I currently have a goldfish in a 10 gallon aquarium, and he's been doing fine for the last six+ months. Several times in the past couple of weeks, however, I've found him sitting on the gravel. I do a weekly water change of about 30% and am buying a water test kit today so I know what the water...

I was definitely going to have a filter, but wasn't planning on a heater—are they necessary? I'll definitely get one if so.

I am considering planting a 2.5 gallon tank and putting in 3-4 amano shrimp. If I did this, what should my water changes be like? Also, does anybody know what plants would thrive in this small of a tank with low light and preferably no additional CO2? I want a low maintenance plant set-up, if...

Thanks so much, guys! I'm definitely going to invest in the water test kit as soon as possible. I had seen the master test kit at Petsmart for 35 dollars and just wasn't willing to pay that price—I'll be buying from Amazon for sure :) And I actually just read for the first time the other day...

I keep an ammonia measure thing that hangs...

Hey everyone. About six months ago my friend moved and gave me her goldfish with a 2.5 gallon tank. I read up and discovered goldfish need about 10 gallons at a minimum, so I bought a 10 gallon tank for him (I unfortunately don't have room for anything larger right now), leaving me an empty 2.5...
