My husband and I have a dream to start a plaudarium (half vivarium half aquarium.) It is not something we plan on starting right away but sometime in the near future. I have started doing some research. He loves poison dart frogs, so naturally my first thought was to do an amazon biotype. I...

Hi all, I'm trying to get some water conditioners that won't hurt my plants. Low tech low lighting tank with crypts and javas. Also, something to buffer my pH to make it neutral/acidic. Does any one swear by a certain product or manufacturer? I currently use API C02 liquid boost and API Leaf...

What the heck do I tell my mom who just randomly decided to bring an electric yellow and some other blue Malawi cichlid with her planted tetra and gourami tank just because they "looked pretty and they're just babies" I'm so mad at her... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have been doing some research on a single pair of apistos in a planted 10 gallon. I have been struggling for weeks for what I am going to be putting in my tank but I have owned GBR rams and double red/vajita apistos in the past and had success breeding them. The only difference was that they...

So I promised my husband I would slowly start up my fish tank.. Which I have been.. I bought a few things needed to get it started (filter, heater and gravel) But my issue is that I bought some EcoComplete with the live nitrating bacteria/water by mail and I started to wrap the box with my...

Which is better? Have seen gorgeous hardy species. I have a 10 gallon in the process so I'm considering all of them. However I know it's not all about looks. Any one have suggestions or experience? Was going to go with livebearers but they would reproduce too quickly in a ten.. Sent from my...

Wasn't sure where to post this one.. Anyone have a preference? I've been reading up on both and they seem to be equal in care. Comments? Thoughts? Going in a 10 planted Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

After 2 weeks of pondering I've narrowed down a few things. I am doing a heavily planted 10 gallon bio type/species tank. I know what plants I'm using and going with a few ottocinclus, shrimp, or dwarf cories as my custodians. But I'm equally torn between three possibilities for rare...

Hope to purchase a tank by next weekend. I anticipate a low light easy maintenance plants: -java fern -needle leaf java -cryptocronite balansae -crypt wendti (green & brown) -anything else that fits my theme of narrow leaved dark colored plants. Still undecided on doing a pair/trio of...

Anyone have any experience keeping these little guys? I've kept live bearers before but have never seen these. Looking at possibly keeping them in a 10 gallon low light planted... What else do you think would be good for this tank?! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have been on a 5 year break from owning any fish tanks. Recently I have had a strong interest in starting back up again. I have a career and got permissions to have a fish tank (I'm thinking somewhere from 3-5 gallons) and also wanting to set up something a bit larger at home. I am not a...
