Hi there. It's proving tricky to find much info on these guys through just googling. I just want to know, what are common diseases or infections I should watch out for with my orange crayfish? I know they don't tolerate copper, so if there were to be a problem, could I use normal aquarium...

Hi there. 2 days ago I noticed one of my green Tiger Barbs (3.5cm) struggling to swim. It sits nose down and it looks like it wants to float up. I can definately see that it isn't swimming normally. I don't have a hospital tank and the best I could do was to put it in a breeding box. I think it...

Hi cichlid experts! I currently have a 60 Gallon tank with a mix of fish that are labelled as nippy and semi- agressive but they all get along VERY well. These include a Three spot Gourami, Rainbow Shark, Tiger barbs, Tetras and cories. I REALLY REALLY want a small dwarf cichlid. My favourite...

Hi there. I just want know, what are the effects on fish when moved from a large aquarium to a smaller one? Will they suddenly get stressed because of the smaller tank or not? Obviously some fish are more adaptable than others so that also accounts a suppose. No specific species in mind, I...

Hello everyone! I have a 60 gallon tank with Rainbow shark, T-Barbs, Red Eye Tetras and corys. I want to add live plants to give it a more natural look as the fake plants look REALLY fake and are starting to annoy me. :) I have no experience with plants. I have normal fine gravel that has...

Hi guys. I have finally got myself a nice large 60 gallon tank. Its a bit of an odd size as its only 3 feet long, but very high and deep. It has a built in filter compartment the size of a 5 gallon tank. Lighting is not very bright but its good enough. Decor wise I made it look like a reef...

Hi all. My sister has 3 pink Danios (Glofish probably, 1 female and 2 male) and this morning the one male was chasing the female around like crazy. My sister is 100% convinced the female is much larger than she used to be. We will keep an eye on them to see if the female gets any bigger. We...

Hi all! I have a 50L community tank with 2 kuhli loaches and I plan on adding some shrimp eventually. I saw a really beautiful piece of wood at a nursary today and I want to put it in my tank. I asked the lady there what wood it is and she only knows that it is a hard type of wood. I'm no...

Hi. I found out about a bigger petstore than the little one we have here (rural area). I want go there sometime to see what they have. If I decide to buy a fish there, is there a way to transport it to my house? Its about a 5 hour trip! I can't see it being done but if its possible I want to...

Hi. I've decided what I'm going to do in my 50L tank now and just want some input. I was going to get Tiger Barbs because I REALLY like them but I already have Tetras (2x Red eye, 2x neons). This wouldn't work in a small tank like this so the new plan is: I want to make a small community tank...

Hi. I currently have 2 neon Tetras and want to add 4 or 5 in the future. Will they all school together automaticaly or will the original two stay away from the new ones?

Hello! So I followed the advice you guys gave me and took my goldfish out and gave it to a friend. And I struck lucky to upgrade my 30L tank and now have a 50L one. ATM I have a Kuhli loach, 2 Red eye Tetras and 2 neon Tetras in it. I have taken a huge liking in Tiger Barbs recently and would...

Hello. I have a 30L tank with a Goldfish and 2 red eye tetras. I think its full already but my dad says I can put 2 more small fish in without a problem. Judging from what I've read the minimum tank size for most fish is larger than the one I have currently. Does anyone have some advice for...
