Oh boy it's time... I just moved into a new house with a new tank (33gallon)!! It's cycling with one of the two filters I had running on my original 30 gallon, so hopefully I'll be able to transfer my community over sooner than later. It's a slightly bigger tank and I did have a bit of fish...

Hey guys, I'm moving so figured this was a chance to redo my 30 gallon tank and try some new stuff! I have 2 bags of ADA Amazonia 9L and I was going to order in some Power Sand M to lay under the aquasoil....but I have read and been talking to the LFS about it and a lot of people seem to...

I am moving soon and I will need to make a pond as the property doesn't have one. I'm not sure how to go about doing it properly and I'm hoping I could get some pointers. Some questions I have off the top of my head: 1) How big should it be? - I live in Vancouver, BC Canada and the water does...

Hey guys, I don't have a camera right now, my phone is broken...but there is no doubt in my mind my little guy has fin rot. I've been doing water changes weekly and the parameters look fine. Regardless, I put him in a 1gal qt tank so it's easier for me to treat. I've been doing 1tsp of salt...

I have a 30 gallon that seems to be leaking very slightly from the bottom. Figures that this would happen with something bought used for less than 50 bucks. I know I could probably repair it, but honestly this thing is pretty scratched up and old and I can afford to replace it so why not? Any...

I've planted this tank from the start since I've kept tanks with fake plants only before I picked the hobby back up again. Felt like this would be a healthy natural environment for the fish. I've had these planted for a while but just to grow some out and get fresh trimmings before I went with a...

Has anyone had any experience with a betta and crystal red shrimp? I'm gathering stuff for a 5 gallon planted tank specifically for a betta but I also saw some amazing looking crystal red shrimp at the lfs. They had a bunch in some display betta tanks. Most resources I've seen discourage this...

Hey guys! I have a 30 gallon set up with live plants. Currently I'm looking at some medium-high light plants and I only have an Aqueon 30" hood on it with a t8 24" 17W. From what I've read and watched this will be far from enough for some of the plants I want! Looking to see if anyone has any...

I had adopted out a group of 3 swordtails a week ago and monday morning I found 2 fry swimming about in the community tank they were in! I suspected one of the females were pregnant but never noticed anything until now. Pretty excited to see them already bigger than the first day! Just had to...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). 3 Panda Cories. All of them started curving their tails to the side and did not gain much weight even though they were eating fine...

So, just general curiosity as I've gotten myself a Marineland Penguin and it came with a biowheel. I know the idea behind it is that it's supposed to keep beneficial bacteria in the wheel and I'm not supposed to change it unless it breaks. Does anyone know if this is effective enough (if at...

Hey guys, So I bought some swordtails last night from a trusted LFS. Not quite sure if I just missed it or she developed these overnight but I woke up and found these white parts on her fins and tail. The other two are fine so I have temporarily QT'd her just in case. Can anyone help me...

Hey all, I am starting to (slowly) restock my 30g long tank. I currently have 8 neons in there, hoping to make it a total of 20 in the end. I've been on AqAdvisor planning out the stock but I would like second (or third or fourth) opinions. 20 neon tetras 4 corydoras 4 otos This seems like...

Hey guys~ I tried to house a female betta with a school of neons but she was taking bites out of them. I have a 5 gallon tank ready for her and I was wondering if anyone knows any other fish I may be able to place in there without worrying about her bugging them too much and vise versa. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'll keep it short. I recently had a outbreak of ich. I lost 2 neons and 1 cory already during the first two days of medicating. Good news....it looks like there is no longer any white specks on the fish in the main tank and my betta (which I had quarantined when I first...

Hi guys, First time poster but reading the forums have helped a bunch in my endeavors in keeping fish. I've successfully kept 12 neon tetras and 4 plecos in a 30G for a couple months now and ended up trying to place a female betta in the tank. She left the other fish alone aside from feeding...
