Picking up a 55 gallon this weekend and want to know suggestions on stocking. I've been playing with the idea of doing a Cichlid tank but the only experience I have with them is dwarf ram species.

Short story short, I was setting up a tank and let my girlfriend choose some of the stock. She fell in love with the "balloon belly" molly and had to have some. We originally got 2 females and one male to try and distribute some of the males aggression but one of them died soon after purchase...

I plan on getting her a tank for Christmas (15 or 20g) but I was curious if I ran her filter in my tank for a month or two if that would help build up bacteria where she...

First of all I have no knowledge about snails but I am considering picking some up due to a brown algae problem. I have a couple of questions I would like answered before I make the decision however. First, how do snails reproduce? Sexually or asexually? If I got just one nerite would I be able...

I'm pretty new to cichlids but I currently have 3 Bolivian Rams, one I've had for a couple of months and the other 2 I picked up a couple of days ago in hopes of getting a mating pair. My first Bolivian I've had is doing great and is starting to show more and more color the longer it has been in...
