    Freshwater Puffer

    Hi, I was wondering if I am able to put one dwarf puffer in a 5.5 gallon tank? I've been reading and I've seen that's it's ok but I've also seen that they need at least 30 gallons. I can provide lots of caves, plants, etc but I do not want to be keeping it in a tank WAY to small for it. What's...

    Complete Redecoration

    Hey guys, I really want to redecorate my tank (take out plants, change substrate, etc) but I have fish in the tank right now. I have a bucket I could put them in and keep most of the old water while I redecorate but I don't want to have an ammonia or nitrate spike after putting the fish back in...

    Guppies, I think.

    I bought some fish at a pet store and I were told they were very young guppies. I have had them for a few months and they haven't grown or got any colour at all. I was reading that guppies typically start gain colour at 1-2 months old. Any ideas what these could be because I'm not convinced...

    Algae Eating Fish?

    I have been getting a lot of algae on my live plants. Its long and grassy sort of. I I have a Plecko and it hasn't been eating this algae, only the stuff on the glass. Is there a community type fish that would fit the bill?

    Lowering PH and Nitrates

    I have been having a few problems with my PH and nitrates. The PH is 8.2 which I have been told is too high. A few of my fish died and some have adapted. I read on some websites that putting driftwood in would help so I did and it hasn't done anything other than look nice. I also need to...

    Algae on Live Plants

    Hi everyone, I have a 16G tank with some fish and live plants. Lately some long grassy looking algae has been growing on one of my live plants. I was just wondering how to get it off? I have an algae eating fish and it hasn't been doing anything. I have some rocks and all it does it stick to...
