    Want to add a couple fish to my 38 gallon tank

    I have an established 38 gallon tank. Been set up for about 2-3 years now. Right now, I have 1 angelfish, 8 platies, and 2 bristlenose plecos in it. I have had all these fish for the entire 2 or 3 years it has been set up. I have a friend who wants all my platies, so this will free up some space...

    Is my guppy fry setup ok?

    For the last few weeks, I have been wanting to breed guppies. I know a pet store that will give me store credit for them so I will not be keeping any of them. I set up a 10 gallon bare bottom tank with a heater, 13 watt fluorescent light for guppy grass, and a sponge filter. Is there anything...

    Ridiculously high ph

    I have never tested my tap before and only my tank. My tank has always had ph a little on the high side at 7.4-7.5. I decided to test tap and wow, 8.6 ph. I tested it just how i test my tank and even did it twice because i didn't believe it. Anyone else get that high ph in their tap?

    Where do I buy water for a sw tank?

    I have had planted freshwater tanks for years and now I want a real challenge. In freshwater, all you need to do is dechlorinate tap and put it in the tank. My understanding is that you need to use an r/o system for sw tanks. I decided to go for a 3g picotope tank for a big challenge and do not...

    Can too much filter media have a negative effect?

    As a few of you know, I just got a sunsun hw-302 canister filter yesterday. I also got some filter pads and sponges to go with it. Now that it ran all yesterday, i opened it up to see what it looked like. It seems that the first layer of filter pad caught all the debris because the second filter...

    Frogbit propagation

    I have some frogbit in my tank that I got a few days ago. When I got them, none of them had runners, they were just little baby frogbit. Now, after less than a week, each one has multiple runners with multiple leaves on each runner. My question it, do you cut the runners or will they do that on...

    Good angelfish food?

    I just got my angelfish yesterday for my 38 gallon tank. Right now, all I have is some aqueon flake food and shrimp pellets. What other foods are good to feed my angelfish? Links to the food will be helpful. Also, if I want to get him frozen food, would petco have it?

    Best option for cheap canister filter?

    I have been looking at cheap canister filters since adding a co2 system to my tank. I will NOT spend over $100 on one. I have found 2 that I can't decide between. The first is a SunSun hw-302. The second is a Jebao 200 gph filter off ebay.

    Duckweed Hitchhiker

    So I bought a couple amazon swords off eBay. They arrived in good condition so I planted them in my tank. Today, about 3 days after I received them, I found this very small leaf floating in my tank which I later found out was duckweed from the seller of the amazon swords aquarium. Since it is...
