Good point.lol Nope, not rams. I have a tiger oscar, convict, jack dempsey, king kamfa flowerhorn, and a little yellow guy. They're all still relatively small, ranging from 3" to 5" long.

Are there any small, schooling fish that can survive in a cichlid tank? I have a variety of fish in there that all seem to work together fine. (Cichlids, gouramis, clown loaches, rainbowfish, etc.) I had a large school of tiger barbs, but they disappeared one by one til they were gone. Is there...

How do I do a fishless cycle? And about how long does it take? Sent from my DROID4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm about to cycle a 70g tank using tiger barbs. How many should I use?

Here's the situation: I was given the tank by an older couple I know. They already had the tank stocked with the fish I've mentioned, so I'm kinda stuck with them. I have them in a smaller holding tank right now while I get the 70g set up again. Even in tight quarters, the kissing gouramis (that...

I'm upgrading to a 70 or 75 gallon freshwater tank soon. My current tank is 30g. Does anybody have any fish recommendations that wouldn't have been an option in the 30g? So far, I'm planning on clown loaches, kissing and blue gouramis, a frontosa cichlid, and maybe a school of tiger barbs. Sent...

And that won't blow my fish around? This is my first saltwater tank, so I really have no idea. I've had other people say to use 10gph per gallon of water. Sent from my DROID4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have an innovative marine nuvo 8. The stock pump maxes out at 92gph. It's been fine so far, but it seems a little weak and it might even be slowing down a little. Any suggestions on a good upgrade pump? A lotta people recommend the cobalt mj900, but that's 230gph. Is that too much flow? What...

I'm getting a 75 gallon tank soon and I want something a little more decorative than a bubble wall. I have one of those little hydor volcanoes in my 30g tank, but it's too small for the new one. So my question is does anyone know of a larger air ornament, or have any other ideas? Thanks! Sent...

Would it be possible to use that Marineland light without CO2? I'm switching to live plants for the first time, so I don't have any other equipment. I'd like it to be as simple as possible. Sent from my DROID4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I like both of those lights, but there seems to be a problem which each. The bml has no moonlight and the current has no timer. So far, it looks light the marineland light is the best way to go for me, but I'm worried the light might not support plant growth as well as the other 2 lights. Sent...

That BML light looks amazing, but it seems like the compatible controllers for it cost as much as the light. I wonder if there's a cheap controller that would work with it. All I would need to do is dim one channel. I can't justify buying a $200-$300 controller just for that.

I have a 30 gallon freshwater tank and I'm thinking about switching over to live plants soon, but my current light won't support live plant growth, so I need a new light. The tank is 30 inches long. I want to find a LED light that includes moonlight and allows me to control both with separate...

My friend is new to keeping fish and she set up a new 10 gallon tank with 3 goldfish in December. I'm pretty sure she didn't cycle the tank properly, but anyway, one of the fish has started turning black and looks terrible. (I attached a pic.) I'm not a goldfish guy, but I thought it might be...

I've seen some nano tanks online with firefish and even clownfish in them. Is that recommended? Cause that would be perfect. Sent from my DROID4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey thanks for the advice! Inverts would actually be great. Do you know of any that don't need much space? Sent from my DROID4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm a freshwater guy thinking of breaking into saltwater in a really small way. I'm thinking about a small tank, about 5 gallons. Something I can put on my desk. I just don't know anything about saltwater fish. Are there many that could thrive in a 5g tank, or do they all require more space? If...

I have 2 freshwater tanks. A 30g and a 10g. I'll be going out of town for about 5 days. What's the best way to feed them while I'm gone? Is an automatic feeder necessary? Or is there a dissolving or gel type food that you'd recommend?

I just added an api powder treatment and started upping the temperature. My plan is to raise it from 75 to 82. How slowly should I raise it?

Alright, I've had a few small fish die recently for no apparent reason. Upon closer inspection, I saw little white dots on some of my fish, so I'm pretty sure I have ich. This is my first experience with it. What's the best way to cure it? I've heard of raising the temperature and adding salt...

I have a 30 gallon as well, but the fish store guy said they'd be fine in a 10. I guess I should move them, but the 30's pretty heavily stocked already.

I just bought 2 boesemani rainbows 2 days ago and put them in my 10 gallon tank, which is populated with brilliant rasboras and celestial pearl danios. At least 1 of the rainbows is a male. The other 1 is pretty colorful too, but not as much as the 1st, and I don't know enough about them to...

Awesome! Hope he's still there.

Hey thanks a lot. That helps a lot. The fish store I go to has most of their betta in those little tiny bowls, but I think they actually have one male in a tank full of various glofish. He looks completely comfortable in there. Maybe I'll take him home.

I would love to get a betta, but I've always been worried about it attacking my other fish. Is there any way to know its temperament before I buy it?
