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!

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...

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! :)

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?

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...

Hello all! Just wondering, what are your favorite fish health products? I'm new to the game and a little overwhelmed will all of the products on the market. For conditioner I've been using Tetra Aquasafe Plus but ran out so I switched to API Stress Coat, simply because it was a few dollars...

My pregnant platy has been acting up ever since she gave birth two weeks ago. She dropped about 20 fry (they are all healthy and lovely!), but she is clearly still pregnant. Super fat and dark gravid. Anyway, she has always been peaceful, but started flashing and nipping chunks of fins off of my...

I've never seen it before but I've heard gold flakes are a sign of velvet. I'm seeing them on two of my julii cory cats. They are active and acting totally normal, but could this be an early sign of illness, or might it just be their natural color developing as they mature? Any advice would be...

My platy finally had her fry! I have them in a 1.5 gallon tank with a heater and a little whisper filter which is currently not running because I'm scared the fry will get sucked in and killed. I have ordered pre-filter sponges but they wont arrive for a few days, maybe up to a week. I'm...

Hello there! I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on sexing cherry barbs? I can't tell from color because I have six albinos, only one of which has a distinct stripe. The others have varying shades of stripes. A few of them have larger pelvic and anal fins than the others. Does...

Pretty neat. I only have two shrimp so I'm surprised I'm finding little shrimp! Are young shrimp also called fry? I'm new to this haha

I feel like she should have given birth a week ago! She looks like she is due any minute now, right?!

Picked up three new julii cories today! I'm in love.

I'm in the process of switching from fake plants to real ones. My LPS is kind of clueless when it comes to plants so I'm not 100% sure what any of them are! My molly is going to give birth soon and I hope the fries like the floating grass! I think it is so cool. Thanks!

Came home and one of my mollys looked much fatter than usual. Does she look pregnant to you guys? I didn't think that she was at full maturity, or that her tank mate was male haha I'm pretty new at this, if you couldn't tell :)

I currently have my betta in a too small 1.5 gallon tank with a little whisper filter and he seems pretty unhappy. He is a replacement for my last betta which was nipped to death in what I thought was a peaceful 10 gallon community tank. One of my mollys become over-aggressive towards all of my...

Hello! First time poster here! I started a freshwater 10 gallon tank a little over a month now and I'm wondering if my tank is overstocked, just right, or if I could add one or two more small fish. Current occupants: 3 cherry barbs 4 zebra danios 1 topsail platy 1 dalmatian molly There is...
