Hey, all! I have long since dreamed of planting my 75g, but unfortunately I have silver dollars, which are voracious plant-eaters. The duckweed I bought disappeared before the night was over. So I was wondering: what plants could I possibly use in this tank? I need something hardy and simple...

Towards the end of March, I decided I was tired of my gravel in my 75g and changed it to black sand, which I thought was beautiful. However, it has caused me a nightmare in my four-year+ established tank. Let me explain. My process changing the substrate: I drained old tank water into two large...

I've had my 75g for nearly three years now, and I've decided I'm tired of the multi-colored gravel. It's too deep, and it's an eyesore. Is there a way to change my substrate out without harming the fish or having a mini cycle? How should I go about doing this?

My Neolamprologus multifasciatus have, as they tend to do, been breeding like rabbits lately. I now have over thirty, with at least ten new fry just recently born, hatched from eggs laid by two different females. So because of this, I'm looking to sale some. I'm selling them for six dollars a...

Hey all! I've recently been thinking a lot about starting a new tank. This tank would ideally be 10 gallons, but I may be able to go up to 20. This tank, unlike my other two, would be heavily planted with easy to maintain, low-to-medium light plants. I'd prefer not to have to use CO2, as I...

Hey, everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted on this forum, although my activity in the hobby hasn't dwindled a bit. I still have my 75 gallon, and the only thing that's changed since I last posted is more fry from the multies in the 10 gallon. But now I'm looking to change things...

As some of you may already know, I recently set up a tank for Neolamprologus Multifasciatus. I've had them for a few months now and only lost one in all. I found it behind the tank so it jumped at some point, perhaps during a water change. Either way, my parameters have been pretty good...

As some of you may know, I recently started a 10 gallon and got a colony of Multies (Neolamprologus multifasciatus). I'm just wondering if anyone else finds them to be picky eaters like I do. I've fed them flakes, several different types of crushed up pellets, crushed up mealworms, and...

Can anyone ID these plants for me? They came from a small creek in Kentucky. That's about all I know about them. Can they be used in an aquarium?

I've been looking around the creek behind my house for a long time looking for rocks to stick in my aquariums. I found two that I really liked. I poured vinegar over them multiple times and they didn't fizz, so I take that as a good sign. But I just want some opinions on if they'd be safe for...

I've been a little wary of getting snails for my 75 gallon for a long time. All my LFS carries are mystery and nerites. Do snails have anything beneficial to add to a tank? What are the pros and cons of having them?

I've been planning a tank for these guys since about late November last year and it's finally starting to come together. I'm going to have 6 fish in a 10 gallon with 36 shells and ten pounds of CaribSea Aragonite substrate to help raise my pH to 8.0 Soon, I'm picking up my filter (not exactly...

Long story short, I got vinegar on my algae scraper. It's my only one for my 75g and I need to clean the glass. Should I just go ahead and buy a new one or is there someway to clean it?

I found these fish online and I instantly fell in love with them. I've read you can keep them in a 10 gallon, which is all I have for my new tank. I'm going to have sand as the substrate. I know they're she'll dwellers, but what kind of shells should I get for them? What do they eat? From my...

In my 75 gal, my smaller blood parrot has recently been hiding more than usual. She still eats fine, but tonight I noticed a small yellow-ish spot on her side. I checked all the other fish, but none have this. Parameters: Ammonia- 0 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 40 (I've been working to lower my nitrates...

Hey everyone. I've decided to start a biotope, but all I've got to do it in is a 10 gallon. I just want some people's insight on what kinds of fish I could keep. I'm not exactly sure what kind of biotope yet, just looking to throw around some ideas. Thanks.

My sister ignored my pleas of not playing that win a fish game at our local carnival and ended up with two goldfish. I keep tanks, but I don't have any tanks that can support goldfish. I refuse to release them into the local ponds and I don't know what to do with them. If anyone is in...

I'm just wondering if it's okay to feed fish freeze-dried mealworms or if it will cause any problems? Thanks.

I'm saving up to buy a 240 gallon. My only question now is what should I put in it? I'd like to have some kind of eel. Maybe some type of Dragon Eel? Is my tank big enough for a Tessalata Eel? I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks! Sent via Impala

Basically I'm new to saltwater tanks so I just want someone who knows what they're doing to kind of make me a checklist of all the basic stuff that I'll need. That way I can research them and get some prices in my head to start saving up. I just really want to make sure I've got everything...

Hey everyone. I've been helping a guy who has a baby Red-Tail Catfish and I want to know what you think. I've had theories, but so far they don't seem right. It's in a 30 gallon with 2 Indo Tiger Datnoids and an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey. He has a marinenland filter and does weekly water...

I just got this Angelfish today, and it's quite young. It was super thrilled, and so was I. But my Bumblebee Cichlid took a bite of its top fin. How can I stop this? Please help I love Angels, my other died recently so I got this one. I don't want it to die, too. Sent via Impala

I'd like to know where I could order a 40 gallon cube aquarium. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks so much! Sent via Impala

I'm going to dive from freshwater into saltwater and I'd like to keep SeaHorses in a 30-40 gallon tank. What all will I need to know? What species should I consider? I'm brand new at this and need as much information as possible. Sent via Impala
