Hello all, one of my cory catfish is laying on it's side and can't swim upright? Is it a swim bladder problem? any suggestions? I hope I can save him.

Well my friends, I'm sure you'vr heard all the stories before. I just have to share mine about Petco. I went to pick up some more fish for the bottom level of my 20 gallon high. Petco is near, so I figured I'd have a go there and grab some cory cats. The story goes down hill from here. The...

Snails are spreading around my 10 gallon tank. dumped in the recommended dosage of had a snail and hope it will work. has anyone used this stuff and if it's not great what else can be done?

I just picked up a banjo catfish and for he most part, based on what I read, they are great for community tanks. I have also come accross a few sites that say that these critters become predators at night and will eat small fish. I plan to put them in my tank that has zebra danios and will be...

The aquarium bug has bit me and I have now purchased a nice 20 gallon tank kit. Of course the obligitory Whisper filter was thrown into the box which i fear using (Whisper 20 by the way) and only will do so if the aquaclear I plan on getting should die. hopefully that will be in the very...

Happy New Year everyone!!! I'm thinking of starting another tank tank a small on that is 5 1/2 gallons. My stand has a second shelf that allows for this so why not use it. Anyone out there have any suggestions for fish? I know you can't have too many. Guppies? all one sex of course...

Hello all, I recenty purchased a borneo Sword and have learned that it is not a true aquarium plant. Can anyone verify? Is it dangerous to place in the tank?

Well, i am happy to say that I am now the owner of a nice Aquaclear 150 but one thing that greatly disturbus me is the noise. I previously had a whisper which was okay but not great. Aqua Clear was the way to go until I pluged it in. The noise!!! What is it!?!? A terrible rattle and hum can...

I couldn't resist getting one of these guys but I need some feedback on if this is too much for a 10 gallon. Here's my rundown: 1 guppy 1 silver lyretail mollie 3 sunburst platties and the catfish too much? I really hope not.

This morning one of my platies has dissappeared without a trace. I search all over the tank around the floor, could have jumped but unlikeley since I have a cover. I read that sometimes if the fish dies in the night the others may eat it. This, sadly, was my conclusion since he was nowehre to...

Hello everybody. I seem to be moving along nicely with my 10 gallon set up. Tank seems to still be cycling which brings me to the question of my hang on the back filter. I have a Whisper Power filter for 5-15 gallon tanks. From my reading I have come to understand that these are not the best...

Hello, I have planted a tiger lotus bulb in my 10 gallon aquarium. They are great looking plants and I was told by the LFS that they are slow growing and trimming them will keep them in check. My fear is that even with trimming these plants may be too big for such an aquarium. Any thoughts...

I have noticed today that one of my mollies stays at the bottom of the tank and does not really move around. Then, after an hour or so he's up and at em like nothing is wrong. He becomes very active when I'm feeding and he has no trouble eating. He shows no visible signs of ick or a bloated...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the aquarium hobby and decided to start simple with a 10 gallon tank. I know a larger one would be better but my living space does not allow for it. Anway, the tank was purchased and filled 3 weeks ago. During this time I have added 1 male guppy, (his comrade passed...
