Had to share a pic of one of my cories... After a hard day of play, s/he is fast asleep... VERTICALLY! Alphie, the betta is coming to say hello. Cories never cease to amuse me :lol:

Seeking some stocking advice for my new 30 gallon planted. I plan on having a pair of dwarf gourami and a pair of bolivian rams. I'd like to add a school, preferable with a bit of colour or some sort of pizzaz, that would be compatible with these pairs. Anyone have any favorites that could...

I'd like to use some large rocks as part of my hardscape... should I be worried about the weight of the rocks and substrate putting pressure on the glass and seams? Don't want to cause any leaks over time. I'd estimate about 40 pounds of substrate and maybe 30 pounds of rocks. It's a 30...

Any advice from members about what to do with my juvenile Burmese border loaches? They are awesome little fellows, but they are eating my amazon swords... I tried feeding peas and lettuce, which they ate at first, but then went back to the swords. I was looking forward to watching the loaches...

Hi folks, I am planning to start my first dirted tank (top soil + sand as substrate), and would like to know what the implications would be of using a standard HOB filter (aquaclear 70) with filter media. The Walstad method apparently does not use chemical or biological filtration. Also...

I just ordered a new 30 gallon tank and am looking for some stocking advice. I'd like to have a pair of German Blue Rams and am wondering if I can add any other dwarf cichlids? apistos or yellow lab? I already have a pair of bolivians in my 28 gallon and can interchange them with the GBR...

Our municipal water supply is very soft. The guy at the LFS said we have zero KH / carbonate (?) and that this could affect the pH stability, which may be bad for fish if it swings too much. I am also wondering if this will affect my plants (amazon sword, annubias, and java fern)? Do they...

I have heard many different opinions and approaches to the frequency and amount of water changes for a freshwater set up. I know this depends on stock, but assuming one is not overly stocked, how frequent and how much water should be changed? For the last month, I have been changing about half...

Hey all, So, I do believe my tank has cycled and I’d like to get some thoughts on how many extra fish I can safely add. Current stock is: 1 male betta, 7 neon tetras, 5 black neon tetras, 6 albino corydoras. I’d really like to add 2 bolivian rams (M+F). Would I also have space for a few more...

Hello fish folks, It all started with my son's first pet--Alphie, the betta fish. So happy that Alphie has moved from his unheated betta bowl into my "big" tank. I am learning as I go... He now has some fish friends--7 neon tetras, 5 black neons, and 6 albino corydoras-- and everyone is...
