I was wondering if putting a "big" or "mildly aggressive fish" in my 20 gallon barb tank will promote schooling of my tiger barbs. I currently only have 4 (1 albino and 3 green) after the 2 death of two, but since they are fully grown, I didn't want to get 2 juvies that would be picked on...

So currently my 20 gallon long is stocked with: - 1 albino tiger barb - 2 green tiger barbs - 2 black ruby barbs It's a bit of an odd combination since some of the tigers from the initial shoal died and I adopted random fish, which sort of explains my unbalanced/ unideal numbers. The...

I (no offense) feel like im slowly getting tired and bored of the hobby, maybe cause I don't have much time (in college). I'm thinking of setting up a new 10 or 20. Limited space...yeah. I'm currently trying to brainstorm something that ISN'T boring to put in there...maybe some inverts + fsh...

So I bought a bunch of fried dried tubifex worm cubes thinking they, "Hey, there's a tiger barb on the cover, my barbs will love these." I know, bad rationale. I put the cube in the tank against the glass and my tiger barbs...that normally eat anything nibbled at bit that came off, but spat them...

This sounds and looks kinda weird, but I noticed today that one of my albino tiger barbs has this big red mark around the mid-posterior area, close to the base of its dorsal fin. It kinda looks like when you have a cut that was bleeding, but has stopped bleeding, yet is still REALLY red. I...

Hello everyone, As the title suggests, I have a 20 gallon with some tiger barbs and I wanted to get a bottom feeder for it. The only thing is that 20 gallons is way too small for plecos which are the only bottom feeder I can think of that can deal with any barb aggressiveness, but they get...

Hello everyone. I just thought it would be fun to know of any stories and such on ridiculously prolific fish you or someone you know may have encountered. Personally, I haven't had much luck breeding fish...I'm pretty horrible at it actually (i.e., guppies I had a while back only gave...

Hello, So this a sort of like an update/ follow up to my previous post a few days back about my 20 gallon. So today I decided to buy more tiger barbs (2 albinos to add to my current 3 green tiger barbs). The albinos are very passive and go about their own business. However, the one...

Hello Everybody, So I just re-did my 20 gall from scratch. I opted to do a semi-aggressive community tank this time, since I haven't done a community tank in awhile. It's currently stocked with: - 1 dwarf gourami - 2 ruby barbs - 3 tiger barbs (1 died from harassment) My problem is...

I already posted this in the General Forum and did not know how to move posts between forums, so now this is the copy and paste of the previous post: Hello, I didn't know if I should have put this in the breeding section of the forum or here. I figure there is more user traffic here so I would...

Hello, I didn't know if I should have put this in the breeding section of the forum or here. I figure there is more user traffic here so I would just post it here, but MODs please feel free to switch it to another board. Lol. Anyways, I have two white clouds, one should be male and the other is...

Hello, So I havea a 15 gallon, that has 2 otos, 2 white clouds and 4 black skirts. I really hate this setup because the otos always hide (which isn't a problem) and the black skirts always hide and fight with one another. I decided to help my brother by taking these guys from him, cause he had...

So yeah, I am apparent part of this club at my school which basically raises money and stuff. So they get the bright idea of "hey, lets sell goldfish in dollarstore bowl to raise money." Apparently two years ago this event raised a lot of money for charity, so their doing this again. So I'm like...

I was curious to know but I have a sick betta, but I realized that all my bettas die the same way, with this really big inflated stomach, that almost looks white, what is this?

I was just curious. I thought it would make for an interesting and fun poll. I was eating fish (not my aquarium fish, lol) and then I sat by my computer and started looking at my tank, and felt sort of like I was being a traitor, lol. I am sorta of disgusted by eating shrimp since I started...

Basically I have a tank, 20 gallons, that right now has 1 silver molly, 2 white cloud minnows, 2 ottos, and 3 black skirt tetras. I have noticed is that one of the white clouds is vigourously harassing the other white cloud, and the silver molly is vigourously and violently chasing the black...

I have about 5 convicts in a 60 gallon and was curious if there is anything I could get away with putting in there?

Hello, I was curious to know if I go by a lake and pick up a rock from the lake and make sure to clean this rock, will this have any effect on my tank? Thanks.

I am curious as to why my duckweed are turning yellow and dying, my java fern and moss are all alright, but my duckweed out of all plants are dying, what can I do, lol?

There is a thin about 4 cm line (crack) at the very bottom corner of my bowl is this fixable?

This morning i noticed my guppy is swimming on his side and i can't figure out why he is doing this. There are no other fish in the tank with him so I know that no one is stressing him. I nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and pH fine. I did a pwc yesterday, and I think I am going to another one today...

I was wondering if I were to put some cories in a 15 gallon planted tank, but I wanted one of the smaller cory species that would be happy in that size tank, which of the species would be my best bet? My first two choices where pygmies or pandas. Pgymies: are really small, not really...

Anyone willing to sell me some cherry shrimp and/or Java moss or Java fern for a reasonable price in Canada please PM me a.s.a.p.. Thanks.

Is there any that eats green algae cause my otos are avoiding it.

I am going to restock my 55 gal, currently there is a senegal bichir and 3 female convicts and 2 giant danios (temporary). Everyone gets along fine, no one bothers the danios, and the convicts are fairly passive, they just stay to their own side of the tank. I think I might remove 2 of the...
