I have 3 peppered corys in a 20 gallon long with 5 platies and a small clown pleco. They all get along and everything looks good but I've been noticing some behavior that I'm unsure of from one of my little guys. Every now and then 2 of my corys will stick together and one will be the oddball...

Pardon my ignorance but this is my first time using the kit. It appears my water is less than ideal for my 5 platies and clown pleco but I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it time for a pwc or will I require more than just that?

20 gallon long, freshwater, PFS substrate I have no experience with aquatic plants other than a bit of java moss because it's relatively easy to grow. But I'd like to install one that will fan out enough to take up a good chunk of space on one side of my tank. I've looked at java ferns but...

20 gallon long freshwater PFS substrate 1 Dalmatian molly 3 red wag platies *looking to add a small school of 5-6 zebra danios soon* My main showcase will be the cories but I'm wondering what kind you guys who have experience think would best be suited for my tank. I'd like to get 3 of a kind

She's usually the life of the party but... I did a 25% water change 3 hours ago and removed the uneaten food from the sand. About an hour after she laid in this corner and has since stayed there, doing nothing. My neon tetras swam by at one point and nudged at her and she just took the hit so...

So I bought some feelers for my 20gal long tank which I'm converting to freshwater. It's one red wag molly (sex tbd), one mostly black Dalmatian molly (the biggest and a female) and one beautiful light orange balloon molly (male). They all like the tank and everything but I've noticed that the...

Would I have to basically remove all the water? I wanna make my brackish tank into a freshwater tank without having to take absolutely everything out

It took me months of preparation to accommodate these guys into my 20 gallon and even then I can't say they're always going to be compatible. I thought it would be nice to document their interactions for those who are interested. 2 Red Claws and 2 Fiddlers. One male and one female each. The...

Hi all. I've been cycling my tank for what seems like a month now and before I get my crabs this week I wanted to make sure there was nothing in the water that could harm them. I've added salt to make the water low end brackish for acclimation purposes, I've dosed the it with calcium, and the ph...

I've done heavy research on both but was wondering if there are any other distinct types of mini crab available as pets. I've already heard of the Thai freshwater crabs but my tank is going to be brackish so this might exclude them. I've also heard of rainbow/patriot crabs but they don't quite...

My roommate bought it at Lowe's. He has absolutely no idea what kind of stone it is and apparently neither did the employees but they sold it to him. Regardless we went ahead and smashed it into cave size pieces and he let me take the reigns to clean it since I've cleaned everything we put in...

My gf got it for me from SeaWorld and asked me to put in the tank I'm setting up. I told her it wasn't as simple as just plopping items into the aquarium, I had to make sure it wouldn't disrupt the safety of my inhabitants. I told her I'd see what I could do. Well it's a sea turtle obviously...

Hi all, I'm still a rookie around these parts but I wanted to start a thread concerning aquarium themes, where we can collectively share creative ideas and suggestions, as well as what we already have set up. This is my 20 gallon tank. Nothing really in there at this point because I've been...

Hello all, I'm new to this aquarium community. I'm somewhat of a novice in the hobby. Since I've had a little more time and money on my hands lately, my roommate and I have decided to take on the task of raising crabs. I purchased a 20 gallon tank and did a ton of research to be prepared and...

Just wanted to drop a line and say hello to the community before starting out on this forum :) I hope to learn a lot from you guys and gals!
