I'm currently vacationing in Poland, and I visited a Aquatic supply store to compare prices and such. I saw the extremely low prices of the Aquatic plants and I was absolutely blown away. I need to take some home! Can I take them home with no water, wrapped in moist paper towels in Ziploc bags...

I want to breed my Black Skirt tetras - I have five of them (can't really tell if they're male or female, but I'm assuming I have at least one pair) in a 55 gallon tank, and I have empty 2.5 and 5 gallon tanks that I can use. Is there an easiest way to breed them and to raise the fry quickly...

Hi there! I haven't had many good experiences with planted tanks, I can barely take care of Java Moss... But I'm ready to start trying again, and not give up this time! I have a 55 community tank in the process of stocking - I currently have 5 Black Skirt Tetras, 6 Zebra Danios, and a female...

I have a school of 5 BSTs that tend to just hang around all over my 55g instead of the tight schooling that tetras are known for. I know that no schooling means the fish are happy and relaxed, but IMO that kinda ruins the schooling aesthetic. Are there any ways I could get the tetras to school...

I have a 10 gallon set up in my high school science class that will be finished cycling soon, and I want to begin choosing fish for it. It's a relatively high traffic area, so shy fish won't be happy. What stocking do you recommend? My teacher really likes angelfish, so I was thinking of getting...

I've been reading up a lot on the safety and ethics of using feeder fish (Comets, Rosy Reds) and I have really mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I do believe that it is more natural for some fish to hunt down their prey, and can improve the mental health of the fish. However, using actual...

Okay, so I finally got rid of my 8" Oscar - he was getting too aggressive with my beloved 6" Jack Dempsey, Deejay, and was fouling up the tank with excessive waste. Now that her aggressor is in a happier home, I'd like to cheer Deejay up with some more tankmates. It's a 55 gallon long the...

I have a 55 gallon long with a 5" Tiger Oscar, a 5" Jack Dempsey, and a 3" Female Pink Convict. The filter is a 75 gallon one, and the I keep the tank very well maintained. As for decor, I have a few plastic plants, and a plethora of rocks to be used for hiding places. Do you think I can put any...

I want to stock my 55 gallon, but I'm picky. I want large cichlids, but few of them. I also want a large bottom feeder, like a loach or pleco. My filter has 350 gph and I do frequent water changes. What fish should I get, and how many?

I have a 55 gallon tank, with a juvenile jack dempsey, 2 angelfish, and a pleco. Can I get more fish? If so, which should I get?

So I got some platies and guppies for breeding today, and I noticed that one of my females has a gonopodium. Wut? He/She looks like this except he is a blue mickey mouse, and his gravid spot is darker and he is fatter. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?

I have seen my friend breed convict cichlids, and I want to try it on my own. I would like to buy a tank divider for my 55, or my friend has an empty 17. Which one would be better?

My ryukin goldfish has recently been bullied by my female betta, and he now has really ripped fins. I removed the betta, but his fins are so torn he can barely swim. I have different chemicals, like Melafix and Stress coat+. Should I treat him with one or both of those? Thanks!

So my mystery snails mated twice, once yesterday and once today, at about the same time. I can't wait till they lay their eggs! But... When? Will they lay them overnight? How long will it take? I have made all the accommodations for the snaillings, and I know how to take care of the eggs too...

My mystery snails seem to be "going at it" for about an hour now. There is one on top of the other and there seems so be some kind of breeding tube coming out of one. Are they mating? If so, what should I do? I have other fish in the tank, should I take them out? Also, how to care for the...

I have a 55 gallon tank that I am currently working on stocking with semi aggressive fish. I also have a 10 gallon plant nursery. I have kept fish for almost 2 years. My favorites are black ghost knives and yoyo loaches. My little cousins are always coming over and dropping things in the tank...
