    Restarting a Tank

    Hi, my fish just died, so now I have an empty 2.5 gallon tank and I'm not sure what I want to do with it next. I would appreciate any advice on low maintenance plants and fish that would work in the tank. Currently I just have a moss ball in it, and I used to have an anubias nana. Thanks in advance!

    Life Span?

    I've had these two Amano shrimp close to three years. When I got them they were already almost an inch. How long do you think they'll continue to live? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Is this weird?

    I recently got this female betta, and I've noticed after she eats she gets a big belly, like she's gravid. It then goes away in half a day. Should I be worried? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    RIP

    I rescued this fish from a science project at school in December. It's a rosy red minnow. It was small, ate a lot, and was by far one of my favorites. It would always come up to my hand or face. It suddenly died tonight and I found my amano shrimp eating it. I know that I have it the best life...

    Parasite or poop?

    Rescue!

    At school we made a ecosystem in a bottle, which unfortunately included a feeder fish. It was in less than half a litre of water, no food, or heat for 3 weeks. I brought it home and put him in my 10 gallon with tetras, and he's doing perfectly fine, and bounced back from being thin and...

    New plant

    Last week I got this plant, though the name escapes my memory. The bigger are starting to fall off, but the smaller leaves look fine. Is it just from the transfer to different tank? All my water parameters are normal, sorry for bad picture quality.

    What's a good plant?

    I'm looking for a plant to hide my heater. Right now there's my only plastic one, but I want a live one. It has to be tall, but I don't want to be wide, like spread out horizontally. I also don't have a lot of light, so something that is lowlight, tall, narrow, and relatively easy to take care...

    HELP!!

    I just got two rummy nose tetras. They're floating in the bag right now. They're going in my 10 gallon tank with 3 neons and 2 cardinals. I also have 2 amanos and a dwarf cory cat. Will there be any problems?

    Most Shocking Tank Experience

    I was just wondering if there was a time that was shocking to you. It can be either good or bad. Mine would probably be when I got 3 dwarf cory cats, and they all died in two weeks. It was horrible:( Thanks in advance for the posts!

    Is this normal?

    My anubias nana just flowered this weekend. Is it supposed to look like this? It's kind of droopy. How long do they last? The actual flower isn't white, it's yellow/green.

    Dwarf gourami

    I was thinking if getting a dwarf gourami for a new tank. I've heard that they're hard to take care of. Is it true and they're difficult, or not?

    Are these snails bad ?

    It started out with only a couple, and now I probably have hundreds of malaysian burrowing snails. They're all really tiny, less than half a centimeter. They don't cause any problems, and just crawl around. Is there a point when they could be bad for the tank? My water parameters are fine.

    Weird spots

    My one fake plant I have has recently gotten these little dark brown spots all over it. They're about two millimeters. Are they just algae or something else? Sorry the picture isn't the best, there's one in the middle on the left.

    Catfish not eating

    I have one dwarf Cory catfish that's full grown in my tank. It's the 10g with cardinals and neons, and amano shrimp. The water is fine, nothing abnormal. When I feed them the catfish looks for food, but it doesn't eat it. At least from what I can see. I've had it for more than a year and other...

    Stocking question

    I was thinking of getting a new 10g tank and have a few questions. Would 3 Platys do fine, or overcrowd it? Would a betta harass them? And finally would the betta eat the young? Thanks in advance!

    Sick Cardinal Tetra

    I had a cardinal that was really fat and happy. It always ate like a monster. But suddenly it stopped eating. It had no interest in food what so ever. It had these white silky patches on its caudal fin right after the red ended. It did die, even with massive water changes. Does anyone know what...
