I just upgraded my cherry shrimp tank from 2.5g to 10g. It has a sponge filter powered by a Tetra Whisper air pump and a 20" Finnex Stingray light. Current stock is 18 cherry shrimp and 3 assassin snails. I've only had them for a few weeks and they're quite young, so I'm hoping they'll start...

I'm looking for 2 assassin snails to add to my 2.5 gallon cherry shrimp tank to control the pest snail population. I've looked on aquabid, but haven't been able to find any available in small enough quantities. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I recently set up a 2.5 gallon shrimp tank and got some cherry shrimp from a LFS. This is my first time owning shrimp, except ghost shrimp. I know male shrimp are much paler than females, but do cherry shrimp have color patterns like the picture below? All the other cherry shrimp I got are a...

I'm really wanting to add some color to my planted tank, but I'm not sure of any reddish plants that would work well for my setup. I have a 20 long with a 30" Finnex FugeRay. I have sand substrate and use Flourish root tabs, along with just starting to use Flourish once a week. I do not have any...

I went to a LFS today to pick up some cherry shrimp, and they included some free plants in the bag so the shrimp would have something to hold on to. I'm excited because I've been wanting some plants I could float, but I'm quite new to planted tanks and need some help identifying it. There are...

I have a 20 long with 2 Aquaclear 30 filters. I would say it is lightly to moderately planted....good amount of anacharis, 2 banana plants, 3 anubias, java fern, water wisteria, and a jungle val. I recently added a platy because I heard they don't school, but after reading more I would really...

I decided to add a platy to my tank today. I don't have any experience with livebearers, so I just decided to get one to start. I requested a male, but I'm having a hard time telling. Can anybody tell me if this is male or female? I can try to get another picture if needed. Thanks Sent from...

I just redid my betta tank and wanted to show it off. The water is still a bit cloudy from the new substrate. I have some real plants in my other tank, but this was my first time trying an actual "planted tank" from the substrate up. Fish: Lorenzo, the betta Tank: Top Fin 5.5 gallon Filter...

I'm wanting to upgrade my light from the stock 17w T8 that came with my hood. I'm very new to aquariums in general let alone planted tanks, so although I've been researching I'm still pretty clueless when it comes to light. I'm wanted an affordable light for low light plants. I currently have...

I got a school of 5 albino cory cats 3 days ago and they seem to be doing great so far, but I'm a little intrigued with their behavior. They don't seem to stay on the bottom too much, they tend to spend most of their time in the top 1/2, swimming from one side of the tank to the other. They...

I just set up my first aquarium a while ago and decided to do live plants after the fact. I've done really good about researching what plants will do well in low light with no CO2 or anything (anubias, anacharis, water wisteria), but yesterday I saw some super bright green cool looking dwarf...

So I recently set up my first aquarium, and was only planning on having anubias and a moss ball as far as live plants go, so I just have a sand substrate and the regular light that came with my aqueon hood, I believe it's 17w on a 20g long. After setting it up and doing more research I decided...

I checked my new tank two days ago and ammonia and nitrite were both 0, so I dosed it with ammonia and checked it 24 hours later, and all levels were back down to 0. I did about an 80% water change to remove the build up of nitrates last night, and went and got my first school of fish, glowlight...

This is my first aquarium, besides my betta tank. I started cycling it two weeks ago and it's finally ready ? I'm going to my LFS tomorrow and am planning on getting 10 glowlight tetras. If everything goes well I will be adding 10 harlequin rasboras and a honey gourami in the near future, along...

I'm currently cycling my first tank, it's a 20 gallon long with an Aquaclear 30. The process is going well, so I'm trying to get prepared for when it's time to start adding fish. My plan is to add: 1 honey gourami 10 harlequin rasboras 10 glowlight tetras The question I have is how many fish...

I bought and set up my first aquarium today, a 20 gallon long with a Fluval Aquaclear 30. In the past I've only had betta tanks, currently a 5.5g, so I don't have any hands on experience with full size tanks. I've been doing some research on what I'd like to get once the tank is cycled. The only...
