Hi! So, I currently have a very lightly, pretty well established 45 gal tank with a cycled filter an empty 5 gal (used to have fish ~1 year ago, probably not filtered anymore) with sand and plants, and an empty 20 gal tank (used to have fish ~6 months? ago, probably not cycled anymore either)...

Hello everyone! I just recently switched my 10g (empty) substrate from white sand to black sand, and I guess when I was refilling the tank the water was too warm? I'm not really sure, the water wasn't *that* hot, maybe like 90o tops. Anyways, after refilling it, I noticed that some of the...

Hello everyone! I posted this before in the invert forum, but I think it belongs more in this one. So I have a 10 gallon tank currently hosting nothing but plants, and has only had plants in it for maybe... a year now? Before it had quite a few fish, I think 8 neons or so. However, those have...

Hello everybody! I have a single male GBR who's mate just died recently x(. I was wondering about the best/easiest way to pair him up again? I'm 14 and I can't drive, my parents aren't that enthusiastic about driving me places just for fish, hopefully I can go maybe once a month to my LFS...

Hello everybody! Here's the situation. Unfortunately, about 5 days ago my female GBR died for currently unknown reason ;(. This has left her mate a widower. I currently have a 20 gal L tank sitting, mildly planted, not yet cycled, and a 10g tank that's pretty much just storage space for my...

For whatever reason, I cannot find my female GBR! Her mate is just roaming around, and all as bright as ever. However, I just can't seem to find the other GBR anywhere! :c Where do you think she is? Hiding? I'm pretty scared right now and if anyone has any ideas on where she might be, that'd be...

So... I have a 45 gallon that is... sorta meh tbh... It has 2 gbr 6 Rummynose tetras 2 Neon tetras 2 Peppered cories (they keep dying for pretty much no reason... if the GBR of all fish are fine and breeding what problems do you have ;_; ) 1 Pink glow danio :D Sitting at ~ 80o F I also have an...

So, long story short, finally got around to setting up my 20 Long. Unfortunately, I forgot to wash the PFS, which has been sitting in my garage for quite some time (The bag was loosely closed to prevent dirt and heaven forbid chemicals from getting in) this sand has ONLY been used for...

HELP! One of my Cories is lying still at the bottom of the tank. It isn't moving much, and the other cories are doing alright. However, this one is just lying still at the bottom. I'm pretty much freaking out right now. What should I do? 45 Gallon 3 Peppered Cories 2 Neon tetras 6...

Hi all, to start I have a 45 gallon tank, pretty healthy, and pretty understocked. It is mildly planted, with a fluval 306 and a Dual sponge filter similar to [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/171155928949?lpid=82&chn=ps"]this. This tank has been running for probably a year now, and I'm looking...

OK So this is attempt 2, as the other thread I wrote crashed and restarted ugh :nono: Anyhow - Here is all the information that I can provide, and hopefully some kind forumgoer will help :D Question: Why did my RummyNose Tetra die? How can I prevent it in the future? Water quality: Ammonia -...

So.... Some of my GBR eggs just hatched! Im pretty excited, but *slightly* unprepared. You see, I've neglected to feed my microworms, and they are all... Dead. So I have no live food, other than maybe the infusoria in my tank. They don't seem to be completely free swimming yet, so I'm just...

sooooooo my BP of GBR have spawned once again -yay-! Last few times, the eggs got eaten, and never made it to the wiggler stage. I believe that if I can get them to free floating, I can nurture at least 1 to full adulthood with egg yolk and crushed flakes and decap BBS and whatnot. Anyway, the...

Hey everyone, it's summer, and I just got some new DW and plants for my tank. I would love to put them in, but how do I do such a major change? (I'll be moving a LOT of plants and rocks. Can I do it with my fish in, or should I take them out? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I don't know if this is normal, (just a color morph), or if my cory is sick or something, but one cory is darker, and slightly smaller than the rest! They are all peppered cories (at least that's what they were sold as) and I don't know he just kinda stood out to me.how...

OK, so as many of you know, I am getting a trio of blue novels sometime in the next month *yay!*. Anywho, I have an empty 10g which has been so for maybe 3-4 months, and I'm assuming all the BB has died off... However I do have an extra double sponge filter in the main. The 10g has some rocks...

Hello, complete newbie to dirted tanks here, so please go easy on me x). Anyway I have a spare 10 gal that has pretty much 0 use atm, so I'm thinking about trying to dirt it (and then probably raise fry in the planted environment). Questions- 1) Can I just use normal gardening dirt? Any...

ID for plants. Any info? Can I keep them in a larger fanta bottle with water + root tabs? Should I add dirt? I'm planning on leaving them near the window for maximum light.

Currently in Beijing, I have discovered a small market for fish. Here, the price for EVERYTHING is extremely low many times lower than in the US. For example, I can buy (not going to, for maaaany reasons) 10 tiger barbs, for 15 RMB. That is less than 3 USD... I'm currently trying to buy some...

OK,so as some may now, I am currently in Beijing, china atm. Everything here is SUPER cheap, buy a bottle o' coke for .50 USD! Anyhow, I picked up these two smaller pieces of driftwood for use possibly in my 10g, or 45, maybe one in each. I believe they are manzanita. Any comments? (4.90 USD...
