I bought a pair of Bolivian rams together and recently one of them died. Can they live solo or should I attempt to get another?

I have had my canister for a while but sometimes when the power goes out I lose the priming on my canister. It's an established system and there is no way in hell I am sucking on the outlet tube to prime. Any suggestions on easy priming? My bulb method takes forever and doesn't always work...

Can you mix corys? I have three albinos but I would like to add in some other non orange species :p will they still group together or am I stuck with more albinos? "There's always a bigger fish." - Qui-Gon Ginn

Has anyone had experiences with live aquaria in a general sense, and I have a few fish that I want to know if anyone has experience/suggestions with. I currently have 2 black fin tetras, 2 of the glolite tetras, a big school of neons and glowlights, about 5 harlequins, 3 albino corys, 1 albino...

I have a glolite tetra that I've had for quite a while in a tank with other tetras, guppies, and albino corys. I recently added some harlequins but this happened before I added them. I bought a purple glolite at the same time I bought the blue one but that one and all my other tetras are fine...

My local [big box] fish store has an extremely limited selection of fish. It's mostly tetras, guppies, mollies, and tiger barbs. Or goldfish... I want an interesting addition to my 46gal bow front but I don't live near any specialty fish stores. Where would be a good reliable place to get a new...

I have a dilemma choosing the right canister for my tank. I currently have an eheim 2211 and it is no longer keeping up with the bio load and it can't circulate enough water fast enough to keep it clean. I also tend to have this recurring problem with green algae. Haha I am considering the 2217...

I will be upgrading my Eheim2211 to a 2215 but I don't want to just stick my other canister in the box and let it collect dust. Can I run them in series? I've read about a sub-filter setup but don't know how to go about it. Thoughts and suggestions? "There's always a bigger fish." - Qui-Gon Ginn

I have always wanted to use driftwood in my aquarium. I have been reading a lot about tannis leaching into the water and avoiding parasite problems. Would driftwood purchased from a store have these problems or have they already been solved by being dried and sold in store? I also dont have...

I currently have a Eheim 2211 40gal canister filter that i was using for a 20 gallon square tank. I recently upgraded to a 45gal bowfront and the current filter is working for the few fish i have in this new tank. I want to add new fish to this tank so i know i will need a bigger filter to...

I have a common Pleco that is too big for the 20 gallon tank I have. I have had this fish for a long time and im very sad to part with him but I know my tank is too small for his 5-ish" size with many other fish. I live in the seacoast area of New Hampshire and wanted to know some options of...

I originally posted this in the wrong place by accident :p I have a 10 gallon tank getting set up for my betta this weekend. I put him in my community tank because i had luck with it before. This time he got bullied the first day and so i took him out and am setting up his own kingdom. [I know...

I have a 10 gallon tank getting set up for my betta this weekend. I put him in my community tank because i had luck with it before. This time he got bullied the first day and so i took him out and am setting up his own kingdom. [I know about the betta not being community thing]. I plan on...

I have always used flourescent bulbs in my fishtanks but i was considering buying led lighting and mounting it above the tank instead of only a few inches above like a standard aquarium hood. My problem is i have plants and dont know if the leds will provide the right light for them. Thoughts...

I want to set up another 10 gallon tank with my current one. I have an eheim 2211 as my filter, can i use a t section and hook the new tank im considering up to it or will the filter no be able to work that way? "There's always a bigger fish." - Qui-Gon Jinn

Ive had my tank going for a few months now and i just got my algae problem under control [with blackout] but my ammonia is high of 2.0 and nitrates are through the roof again [>160 ppm] but the nitrites are zero. Am i still cycling or am i doing something wrong? "There's always a bigger...

I would just like to first say thank you from the bottom of my heart for anyone who has helped me with my tank. The green algae ive been battling for months is finally gone [hopefully for good]! The blackout worked amazingly, and i now have the light on a timered 4 on 4 off cycle that repeats...

Can you put a betta with other fish? I currently have three black fin tetras, a pleco that i will post a pic of if hes not hiding, and two[?] Tiger barbs in a 30 gallon with a canister filter, aeration, no plants, sand bottom. Ive loved bettas since i was a kid but havent had one in a long...

I just noticed this today. This is the bottom of my tank under the sand. I just did a blackout and wondered why my tank was still green. My assumption now is that this is the culprit. Should i scrub it clean and blackout again or just blackout then stir up the sand? "There's always a bigger...

I have had a recurring problem with my fishtank for the duration that ive had it running. At first i had no problems, then a big algae bloom kicked up and i took my tank down for a while, and months ago i put it back up with clean water filters rocks everything. Since then ive had another...

I am planting my tank for the first time next weekend and i have encountered different views for the air stone or not question.
