    Coffee table tank

    I have recently seen a coffee table tank on CL. It looks like a big glass square, with a slightly larger glass top. My questions are how would one filter such a tank, and how would you light it?

    In/outside pond.

    I have a dream that one day I would love to see fulfilled. A pond that would be mostly outside, with a viewing area visible from a basement. Probably something like 3 ft tall and 5 ft wide almost like a window. Any thoughts on potential problems?

    Rosy Red Minnows

    I just wanted some opinions on what everyone else thought of them. I saved a little turtle from horrible tank conditions and now have him and 10 minnows in a tank together and they look great. I dont know if the turtle is trying to eat them but its funny to watch them dart at and away from him...

    New fish, brings new questions.

    Had a few losses last week, was on vacation and the person I had feeding my fish forgot the betta pellets so I lost my 4 bettas. Very upsetting, but I have since saved a new 3 from the tortures of the pet store plastic cups. When I was in the store I took a trip past the fish wall, and spotted...

    Just got back from vacation ....

    So I get back from a great honeymoon/vacation, and of course the first thing i do is check my tank. For the most part, everything is alright. Sadly, my 4 female bettas which I just recently added, and 9 out of 10 neon tetras died. I noticed the dead fish, and stuck my net in to take them out...

    New betta!

    Saw her at petsmart last night and something told me to rescue her from her cup. She was this sickly gray with black lines running from mouth to tail, but I was checking on her this morning to make sure shes doing well, and shes now this amazing blue color. The picture really doesnt do any justice!

    Plant food question.

    When I got my tank it came with a bunch of stuff, including a bottle of Big Als Multi Purpose Plant food supplement. Until recently, I never looked twice at it because I haven't had live plants. I wanted to start using it, but noticed it has copper in it, and I have read that copper will kill...

    Question about rams

    I just got 1 male blue ram, girl at the store called it a german, because I couldnt pass him up. His colors were amazing, and she said he'd be fine in my tank. I have mollys corys and some danios. He has joined the community, and now swims around with my mollys and is followed around by my...

    Blue Ram

    The picture really doesnt do him any justice. I went into Petco to pick up some food, and always walk through the tanks just to see new stock. Could not pass this guy up. His coloring is amazing in person. He's loving his new tank and tankmates, especially my green corys. Remember in Toy Story...

    Would I be overstocked?

    Let me start by saying that I understand that the AqAdvisor Calculator says it is at 119%. I have read online that they might be very conservative and rate a little high. That being said I have not added this many fish and dont plan on doing so for a few months. Never if feedback says otherwise...

    2 new corys and new mollies!

    Just added (like the title says) 2 new green corys and 2 new creamsicle lyretail mollies. They are the only creamsicles in the tank, all the rest are dalmation, black or silver. Couldnt get any good pictures of the new corys, they mixed with the other 3 straight away! Good thing in my book...

    DIY canister filter idea

    The backstory- I work at Lowes, technically in delivery, but still spend many days on the sales floor. Ever since I have gotten my tank, my fish are all I can think about. So I was walking through the store the other day, and saw the submersible pumps used for pond waterfalls/fountains and...

    Could my fish be pregnant?

    I got my fish about a month ago and have recently noticed that 2 of my female mollies are more .. plump? lol I dont know what a pregnant fish looks like so I have no idea. I thought maybe they might be sick but they are eating and swimming around like normal. They started getting bigger after...

    Can a betta go in here?

    I'm thinking the answer is no, but I wanted to ask and hope for the best anyway. I have 6 mollies at the moment, 2 of them beind lyretails. Will the betta consider them a threat and want to fight them? I love the way bettas look and would love to add one to my tank, but not at the cost of...

    questions about lighting and plants

    I just looked at my lights and the only thing on them says 55W 10000 I have no idea what these numbers mean in regards to a fish tank. My goal is to put live plants into my 40G tank, but I dont know what kind of plants to get with this lighting.
