    'Tanked' tv show

    I can't even imagine how much those tanks cost! I loved the one they did that was like a headboard so could lay in bed and watch the fish swimming over you. So cool. I also saw them make an 8 gallon tank out of a tv and they put 3 rainbow sharks and several bala shark in there too, plus some...

    'Tanked' tv show

    Hey guys! I just caught a few episodes of 'Tanked' on Animal Planet. Just wondering, what do you guys think of it? It looks like they tend to overstock their tanks. But it's a cute show!

    Baby fish "Fry"

    Thanks you. I finally had to euthanize her last night. She was clearly suffering and had hit the point of no return. So sad... She was lovely! Hoping one of her babies ends up taking after mommy!

    Parasite Problem

    That's a relief! Still, should I be concerned that my platy got so sick while in that tank? Granted I had just moved her back in from a different birthing tank. Maybe the stress of the move just made her more susceptible to disease? Still makes me worry that there is no sure way to treat the...

    Hard to tell because they are so small, but round I think!

    Parasite Problem

    The other day, after a water change, I notices several wiggly white worms in the water, parasites I assume. This explains why my platy got so sick. She is currently being treated in a hospital tank, but I'm not sure how to deal with the infested tank! It is planted and has many young shrimp and...

    Baby fish "Fry"

    I'm currently raising about 15 or so platy fry in a 10g. Unfortunately the mother is not doing well and may not be around much longer. She is in a hospital tank and I've been treating her for hole-in-the-head disease. She got sick shortly after dropping her fry, so I'm worried they may have...

    Ramshorn snail question

    Does anyone know where online I can buy one or two ramshorn snails? I looked on ebay and a few other sites and they seem to be sold only in groups of 15 or more. Where's a girl to get just a couple of snails? Any help much appreciated! :)

    5 Gallon Stocking

    Thinking of going with a single male betta, but any other suggestions about stocking? Not very interested in shrimp... Could I do two female betta? Or is it simply not enough room?

    Cleaning an old tank and filter!

    I just found an old 5 gallon tank in my parents basement! It even has a whisper filter and a heater! I have no idea if either of them even function, but still, yeah for free stuff! My question is: how do I get this set up clean and safe for fish? All of it is pretty grimy and dust covered. What...

    Poop!?

    I've heard that poo should be a similar color as what the fish eat. Clear or white poo usually means a sick fish.

    Stand out fish

    My albino cherry barbs are a nice bright pink color and they really pop! They live with a purple betta, so the colors in the planted tank are really nice.

    Product Question! Need Opinions!

    Is This Velvet?

    There gills are still a little pink but they are very active and have stopped scratching. I think water changes and temp increase are really helping!
