Hi! I'm not sure this is the right section for this question, but I didn't see a better match. My son raised some tadpoles he scooped out of a creek in Austin TX. He released back in the creek as soon as they were frogs. In the process we found a ton of interesting creek critters. We were able...

Here are some marginally better pics of our poor sick apisto. Can you tell what the patches are?

Please help. Everything was going so good. We made it through the cycling and we've been cruising for a couple months. This morning my little boy woke up to a sick apisto. It's his favorite fish. The color is almost gone. There are some patches on one side of the body. He is acting lethargic...

We survived ammonia. Now in nitrite day 4. Any idea how many days I can expect this part to last? Its rough. Thanks!

I am cycling a 25 gal aqueon with 3 Cory cats. 2 juli and one pepper. This is week 5. I have two aqueon filters running. I understand that my filtration is more than sufficient, but can't remember the filter specs. My tap water has .25 ammonia. I've tested daily and changed water 25-50% daily...

My tap water tests between .25 and .5 for ammonia. Do I need to buy safe water? I'm about to start cycling a new tank.

Hello again! We are still brainstorming and researching. My son has selected some fish for his 25 gal and the AqAdvisor says he has a little room left. We are not set on this selection, and are seeking advice. So far his selection is bottom heavy. Please help us adjust this. Also, will cory cats...

I got the kit. I know that's a rookie move, but let's move on. I wanted to add an additional filter to make sure it is sufficient, but I have no idea which Aqueon filter I have. There is nothing on the box or literature that says 20 gal, 40 gal, etc. There are tiny circles on filter itself. One...

Hi! My 6yr old is setting up his new 25 gal, and we plan to ask you a million questions every step of the way. He's very excited. I'm a nervous wreck. We're heading out to buy pool filter sand. I read this is acceptable and he found one he likes the look of. He also found a piece of driftwood in...

biOrb Mega 16 gal...yes or no? Aside from cost. Yes I know there are cheaper options. But I don't have much space. This seems like a way to get the most gal in a small space. You might want to say I need 20 gal. I'm sure it's ideal. Is 16 gal really that limiting for a beginner? I'm not trying...

Hello! My 6 yr old son is about to get a tank. He would love to have any, or all the following: a tiny catfish, tiny plecostomus, beta, shrimp, snail and a tiny eel shaped fish of some sort. Can you point us in the right direction? We are beginners and are considering 16 gal. Thank you.
