Not sure if anyone's started a thread that has to do with this, if so - please direct me to it. I'm doing a general survey about freshwater fish lifespans. Some are pretty well known, some not so much. What I'd really like to know is: how long have most of you kept your fish for? Are there some...

I have three pearl gouramis in my main planted tank, 2 males, 1 female. The lfs person was rather incompetent, because I wanted 2 females and 1 male. Anyway, I got them back in December and they were getting along peacably. Now, the males have turned very bright orange and gotten nippy with each...

As the title states, this has occurred. Some background: I picked up a male (marble?) betta at my lfs during the Boxing Day sale. He looked so forlorn in his little jar, I couldn't say no. Not even two months later, his coloration has changed. Is this due to growth/maturation?? I've never seen...

Ok, a bit of background first: I have a female Molly who gave birth for the first time approximately 26 days ago. She had 10 fry (3 of which she ate before I could remove her, and then the runt of the litter who died yesterday :( ) the remaining 6 are healthy and eating well, they are given...

My friend recently started up a 55g saltwater aquarium. He's got some pretty neat hitchhikers on his live rock, most of which I can identify (none bad or invasive.) However, there's one I that I just can't place. I have a few ideas, but would appreciate a solid ID. :) thanks in advance.

Hi all - So as the title suggests, I'm here at University, in my dorm (craving a beautiful diversion.) Therefore, I have decided to set up a 5 gallon freshwater aquarium. I'm fairly experienced with keeping fish (had them on and off since I've been 9, so that would be about a decade now? :P)...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site, but certainly not new to the world of aquarium-keeping. I keep both salt and freshwater aquariums, with a large variety of fish and corals for about 10 years now. However, I just bought 5 Cory cats (2 julies', 3 pandas') for my 40gal and am a little wary...
