I got 5 male rosy barbs a few months back. The fish store guy said a school of all males would be ok... But now they are going through periods of very aggressive chasing. Though they don't seem to target other species, it looks like one of my schwartzi corys has an injury, and wonder if he got...

I have a male Betta in a 10 gallon with an aquaclear 20 for a filter. Even at the lowest flow setting, I think it's too much flow for him. We are going to add a school of 8 neon tetras soon (he's a mellow betta, has lived with small tetras before with no issues). I am considering switching to a...

I have a 55 gallon lightly planted community tank set up since February. When we decided to get corys, we made a little sand beach for them. Now I'm thinking of switching the entire substrate to pool sand. I like the plants, but our tank is low tech and I'm fine with slow growing plants. I'm...

I have a pretty mellow male Betta who lives peacefully with some Pygmy cories, ember tetras and CPDs. Was thinking about getting a male endler because they are so cute. Worried that the Betta would eat him, anyone have experience with that? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My PH is normally about 7.4. When I got a little school of Pygmy corys, the LFS said I should try to lower the ph to 6.5 ideally. Peat did seem to bring it down, everyone settled in (been about a month) but I'm wondering if it would be better to not mess with the peat and just strive for...

Would love some advice on completing our 55 gallon with Pearl Gouramis. Did a fishless cycle, have been gradually adding fish since January. Currently we have: 7 Black Phantom Tetras 6 Panda corys 6 otos 6 platys 2 girl guppies Everyone plays well together and it's a peaceful tank. Would...

I'm a newbie with a 55 gallon planted aquarium. Eco-complete, root tabs, flourish 2x per week. Currently have a marineland double bright led that came with it from craigslist. The guy I bought it from did not have plants, lights do not extend full length of the tank (extension legs, I think the...

I have a planted 55 gallon tank with eco complete substrate. Just got 6 panda cities over the weekend, and am now feeling a little bummed that they don't have a sand substrate. Do not want to redo the entire substrate bit wondering if it's possible to make a sanded area for them. Has anyone ever...

I ordered a bottle of Flourish online. Then we got 4 feet of snow in one week...by the time the we finally got the delivery, it had frozen solid, and burst the seal on the bottle and leaked a little. It's dethawing now, and I'm wondering if it's still OK to use once it's back to normal. It's...

I'm stocking a newly cycled 55 gallon, and would love advice on the best plan to add and acclimate fish. I have a mosquito fish and 2 girl guppies (from my daughter's school--got us started on this whole fish thing) Am thinking about: 1 Pearl gourami 5 Boeseman rainbows 10 cardinal tetras 5...

Hello, I'm really new to fishkeeping--am fishless cycling my first 55 gallon freshwater tank. Want to plant it, and like natural decorations. I collected driftwood at Old Orchard Beach Maine a few weeks ago. Boiled it all for 40 minutes or so, and now it's just sitting out on my frozen deck...
