    Fish that I want in my 10 gallon freshwater Aquarium

    I agree with you! At first I wasn't to keen on the ghost shrimp, and now I adore them. We have 5 in our tank, and they just mind their own without bothering anyone. I love love love watching them eat since you can pretty much see the food inside them- so cool!

    Ich outbreak in tank - HELP!

    I lost my dwarf Gourami Spongebob (my 4 year old named him) last night. I'm really bummed. He had been struggling all day yesterday and seemed to not be able to find the food at feeding time even when it was right above him. :( Did a 20% change this morning, added a little more aquarium salt...

    Ich Medications

    I lost my dwarf guarami Spongebob (my 4 year old named him) last night. :( The poor little guy had been struggling all day yesterday. After a 20% water change this morning, another dose of ich attack, and a little more aquarium salt, the 3 mollies seem to be thriving. They still have spots...

    Ich outbreak in tank - HELP!

    Thinking good thoughts for you and your fish. I haven't had any losses as of yet **knock on wood**. I have used Ich Attack per the bottle, slowly raised the temp over the last two days, added aquarium salt at 50% of directions and started doing daily water changes. I don't really see a change...

    Ich Medications

    Have you been using the Ich Attack per the instructions on the bottle? Have you been doing the heat/aquarium salt as well?

    Ich outbreak in tank - HELP!

    Hi All, I'm very new. Just posted my intro last week. I have a 10 gallon fresh water setup. Finally got the water quality up, and added fish. Yesterday we noticed the tiny white spots on our: dwarf guarami, spotted molly, panda molly, marble molly. The panda and marble were added on Saturday...

    Ich Medications

    I'm sorry I don't have any input. I wanted to comment so that I can follow the thread. My husband called me earlier saying he thinks our fish have ich & aside from some readingI don't know what products are best. Good luck with your fish, I hope everything clears up!

    I did see this at Petco, but it looked pretty intense. It's something I would be able to follow as a beginner? Thanks! Thank you. :)

    Best Water Test Kits for BEGINNER

    Hi All. I started up a 10 gallon community tank about a month ago. While I was getting through the startup cycle, I was bringing a sample of the water to my local Petco for testing and subsequent advice to help cycle the tank. Now that the water is ideal, and I have fish in the tank, I'd...

    Total newbie!

    The fish all seem to be doing well! I've been doing water tests to make sure there aren't any spikes, and so far so good. Thanks.

    Total newbie!

    Thanks! I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one who had jumped in thinking that keeping fish would be easy. I just wish the staff at your average petstore would ask more questions when they see you walking out of a store with a full setup and bringing fish home that same day. Live and learn I guess.

    Thanks! I was definitely discouraged - but more so I felt sad that I harmed the fish. So I've been doing all my research to get informed.

    Total newbie!

    Hi all! A few weeks ago I started up my first 10 gallon aquarium. Prior to that, I had a betta in a 2.5 gallon mini setup, and really didn't know much at all about keeping a proper aquarium (just being honest). I've learned a great deal during the last 3 weeks learning about the nitrogen...
