    Starting a fiddler tank

    I've wanted to do a fiddler tank for awhile and I finally have a tank I think I can use. It's a 10g so I'm not sure if it is or not just being hopeful. What all would I need for a fiddler tank? I know I need a land mass for them and brackish water but that's about the extent of what I know...

    Mollies picking driftwood

    I've had a large branch of driftwood for many years and decided to add it to my 55g so after soaking it in a bathtub for a couple of days I added it. It was large enough that it reaches from end to end of my 55 and looks really nice but for some reason my mollies keep picking at it. There...

    Tannins water

    I added some driftwood to my 55g tank yesterday and when I checked on everything today the water was a tea color. I know what it is and what caused it as I've had it in other tanks but I want to know how can I get it to stay like that? I know it fades later after the wood sinks but I really like...

    So I officially have the day that I'm moving to my new place and I've contacted some pet shops and I've found a 125g tank with stand for $560 and I've asked if they could set it up in the store to establish it and they agreed. So it'll get a 4 month fish less cycle before the move. And now I'm...

    Flounder behavior

    So I've had a freshwater flounder or hogchoker for around a month or so and he's settled quite well, no fighting and he's getting plenty to eat, but some of his actions I just have to question. I know it's normal but why does he suction himself to the glass? And he seems to only really come out...

    Fish carcass

    So I left for school today and everyone is happy and healthy from what I could see but when I came home I noticed a rasbora on the bottom of the tank dead so I got my net and took him out. I examined him to make sure he wasn't killed by another fish. When I got a closer look he was hollow and...
