Ok so I want to get an official stand for my thirty gallon, it's on a dresser now but I want that dresser for my apartment living room for a tv stand. So my birthday is in a few months so I was going to ask my dad to build me a stand for my birthday. He actually asked once before so I'm sure he...

Where it says your post count and the title for the post count, is there a list of those somewhere?

Ok so my boyfriend read somewhere that you can do a closed eco system in a tiny one gallon with one tetra and like five snails... please back me up when I say this is a bad idea for the fish or the snails.. it just seems like a recipe for disaster. No water changes because what he said "the pant...

How much will a full five gallon aquarium with substrate and minimal decor cost? I'm looking at small end tables and accent tables for it to go in my dining area in my apartment. All my current flat surfaces are being used. I need to know how much it'll way before I buy a stand or table. I don't...

I'm building a new tank. Its the five gallon hex shape by marineland. There's one filter that's totally internal and suctions to the inside, just under the water line. Keep in mind I'm using this five gallon for a betta. If that matters for how it fits as I'll be having a heater in there too.

So I figured I'd re introduce myself after I think my other got deleted. Anyway... I'm Hannah, I am senior in college. I'm majoring in Criminal Justice/Criminology. I grew up with a cat and several dogs. Currently my family owns a black lab Reggie, a yellow lab Duke, and a calico cat Gracie. We...

So this is my same tank, set up in my new apartment. I just finished moving everything today. My fish tank was last and I just finished filling it up and everything. About 30% of the water in here is old tank water. As like not to lose bacteria and all the good stuff. He's back in his tank after...

I was always thinking of how I'd honor my fish when he'd die. Like with my cat I kept his favorite toy. I don't know how long fish usually live in a well kept tank. Its been almost a year and he's survived icky tanks, over crowded tanks, algae blooms and a whole tank transfer, he's a fighter :)...

I'm getting a betta in a few weeks. And I was given a free five gallon tank. There are area water stains or something that won't scrub off. Any ideas how to clean it? I read a vinegar and water mixture works, just rinse it really well after!! Then let air dry

So I am having pest problems in my apartment. I found a few apartment safe things to try. Like powders or liquid spritzes to put along the floor/wall and the edges of windows. Will these at all somehow harm my 30g Goldie tank? It's mostly bugs and spiders I'm trying to keep out... one week I...

I got a free five gallon and I have no idea what to do with it... I was thinking a single fire bellied toad or a couple hermit crabs. Its taller than wide, I thought for crabs it'd be good since I read they like to climb. Or any other good stocking ideas. I don't want to run into an overstocking...

I got a 5 gallon tank from my boyfriend's step mom. She gave it to me since it was cluttering her basement. Its an octagonal tank by marineland I think. She had a Betta in it before it died. What she gave me included a tank, the cover with light and a filter. I kinda wanna replace the filter...

So I move out of my one bedroom (first floor) apartment in 2 months. I'll be moving into a new apartment (3rd floor, one bedroom). It's about 3 miles away. But my concern is moving my aquarium. I have a 30 gallon tank, 20 pounds of black gravel, 10 fake plants, and 2 decor pieces. And one...

Ok so I just got over a battle with fin rot. After the upgrade to a 30 gallon he was doing better! The gel food seemed to help too. But recently I'm seeing him go back to how he was like during the fin rot. Sluggish and lazy like. He's the only fish in a 30g. I do pwc each weekend, so once a...

So my new batch of gel food made my tank cloudy and gross. With a residue on the walls.... yuck!! Not making that recipe again!! After class tomorrow is my cleaning day. Can I do the usual 50% water change, then fill it up again, then do another water change right after? Or should I wait awhile...

I want to get a betta. Or at least start planning for one. I'm moving to a new apartment in the next few months so I am waiting until after I move to actually purchase everything so I don't need to stress moving two tanks. I already have a 30 gallon with one telescope Goldie. I had a battle...

I replaced the gravel in my tank... mixed red and black clashed with everything inside and all my furniture outside. I made sure I did it during a regular water change and kept my Goldie safe. But it looks sooooooo much better now!! Tell me what you think! Also added a second 30g filter so I...

I'm sitting waiting for the dentist and watching their reef/saltwater tank, which looks pretty well kept and not over stocked with fish. But I'm watching the tv, tuned to a home makeover show... For a decorating accent... they stuffed a betta in a tiny bowl with no heater or filtration :( Then...

I have an established 30 gallon with a cutesy pie Jack the telescope goldfish! Anyway when I first set up the upgrade I thought mixed red and black gravel, genius! Now not so much... It clashes with my tank decor and the fake green plants... I want to keep the black, but the red is evenly mixed...

I know goldfish are wasteful and poo a lot and so I do water changes once a week, and clean build up on decor once a month. So far after upgrading to a 30 gallon, my water conditions have improved greatly. Just have one goldfish, about 4 inches long. I want to add another goldfish of his same...

So I've noticed this before and now after I've upgraded my tank. My fish sits at the bottom, barely moves. Is it sick, or sleeping? I mean it could be swimming around normal when I'm not around. The fins are recovering from fin rot, scales and gills look fine. 29 gallon with two filters, water...

I just upgraded my goldfish from a 10 gallon to a 29 gallon. It's just one goldfish. My ph is completely normal, ammonia is .25ppm, nitrIte is 3ppm and the nitrAte is about 6ppm. Which in the 10 gallon after just one week all of them were off the charts. Anyway... After this one week after...

So I want to get a second goldfish in the next few months. But I'm unsure of the sex of my current fish. I named it Jack and assumed it male, because I just wanted to name it after my favorite video game character. But I'm actually unsure. At the pet store it didn't have them separated male or...

So my fish had fin rot and I treated it. It looks like it has stopped, but where his fins were "rotted" away and are frayed of torn, will they grow back? Moving my goldfish to his new thirty gallon home has helped him as far as I can tell. Haven't tested the water since I moved him over.

Adding gravel, Red and Black. Decorations and water. Just added Jack!! He seems very happy now, much better than the 10 gallon! Was told by a few people here to run the old filter-on left- for a bit. Jack, my Calico Telescope Eyed Goldfish. More of happy Jack! The place where...
