Yesterday I was thinking: If people put almond leaves in their tank to lower PH and get blackwater, why can't they put almonds? So I got a cup of water, put 10-20 almonds in it and left it overnight. Today, the water is completely tanned with a PH of 6.2 (was 7.5 yesterday). So I guess my...

I was wondering if I can buy a CO2 system if I have 2 Bio-wheel filters for my 55 gallon tank. I have a Penguin BioWheel 150 and a Penguin BioWheel 350 (3 BioWheels in total). I've read somewhere that you cannot have CO2 with a BioWheel filter. I was thinking of getting a CO2 system soon but...

How many if any, Congos can I keep in a 25 Gallon tank (24x12x20H)? I am ignoring all of my other fish that I have because they can be traded in, so its just a straight up answer. Also take into consideration that I have a Bio Wheel filter for upto 30 gallons and an extra 15 gallon stingray...

I am very sad as I write this. Today my Platy, who was inside a breeding net for 3 days looked a lot skinnier. The gravid spot was almost gone. I got excited and started searching for fry. To my surprise, there were none. Then I looked closely and saw red poop on the bottom of the breeding net...
