Hello, I did a 20 % wc in my 10 gallon today, and I used a gallon of dechlorinated water that I didn't realize was much colder than the tank, by 10 degrees. I was already pouring it in when I realized the temp difference.:( the fish always swarm around the new water, and I think this guy might...

Hello, I just got a really nice deal on a 3 gallon, cylindrical tank at a yard sale. I know I probably won't be able to keep fish in it, and I can't get a heater for it. Does anybody have any suggestions? Could I keep a few ghost shrimp? Thanks. :flowers:

Hello, I was watching my fish when I noticed one of my male endlers's (is this the right spelling?) gonopodium was hanging down at a weird angle and looking frayed. He has been behaving normally- I don't think he even noticed because he keeps chasing my females! Do you know if his gonopodium...

Hello everyone, Has anybody had experience with fishorphans.com? It's a rehoming group in the UK for fish, and they seem to be having a lot of financial difficulties. I was wondering about it before donating. Thanks.

I got up to get a drink late at night and decide to check in the fish when I see a gjost shrimp eating an endler! It was perfectly healthy, and swimming up to the tank to greet me, and I just hand fed them and raised them from fry and saw them go up into beautiful adults.. :mad: I am so...

Hello, I recently got a vial of decapsulated brine shrimp. How do you use it? Would you feed them directly into the tank like a flake, or would you hatch them like regular brine shrimp eggs, only without removing shells? Anybody have experience using these? I got them for my endler fry. :fish2:

Hi everybody, I'm planning to convert my 5 gallon tank to a dirted tank. I'm looking for a plant below 3 inches tall that will spread around the bottom. I've been considering dwarf hairgrass, dwarf sag, mini baby tears, and micro sword for the bottom. I'm planning to use a clamp light with a...

:dance: I finally found a slightly faster way to pick out those tiny pest snails than with my fingers. A new toothbrush works pretty well because the snails get stuck between the bristles and are easy to get out. Also, an algae sponge works nicely too. How do you guys get rid of tiny snails?
