Hi all, I've got a ten gallon planted that I've been trying to keep without a heater, but it's just getting too cold in the house without one and I think the plants are suffering for it. So I picked up a little Tetra one today before I have to leave for business later this week. Unbeknownst to...

Hey, I almost started breeding guppies years ago and I began with about thirty tanks, but there was no market and way too many fish. I could've filled every tank in a matter of months. I would highly recommend looking into one of the easier egglayers instead. They are a bit more difficult to...

Hey all, I've fallen back in to aquariums very casually. I've got my ten gal setup with lowlight plants and at the moment a funky group of two neons, three White Clouds, and three Endler males. I have a bad feeling that one of the endlers is going to pass soon, and though I do love neons I...

My rummynose is now all alone as of an hour ago- the other rummy died and I cannot get any more of them as the local fish store shut down. What would be a nice companion for the poor thing? It's 10 gallons- I had to downgrade, it was originally 30- and I'd like only a few fish, relatively hardy...

Just leave them in the current tank. It's not worth it to move them. Some may survive, some may not, but it's a wait and see game. Netting them would be nearly impossible, and you can't afford to have forty fry growing up in ten gallons of water. Yes, it's kind of horrible, but it's nature in...

Ohhhh ANDY! We need you! Anyway, I agree with Coral. Be very careful and use tank water from the parents for the nursery. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Elephant noses are hard to care for and require specialized tanks. Cardinals and rummynose tetras are both good options- do you like guppies or gourami? Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Just had to post my excitement over this amazing win by American Pharoah! Congrats to all those involved with him and wow... Once in a lifetime experience! Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Aren't gold just a GBR color morph though? Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

I wouldn't do GBR and gourami to be honest. My GBR were nasty when they paired up. I'd look into starting with the hardier gourami before you touch rams, they're hard to work with sometimes. Maybe one pearl, some cories, and a school of tetras. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Just reorganized to see this easier: 2 fully grown tiger barbs 4" , 2 albino tiger barbs, 1 green barb , 2 medium danasoni barbs, 2 cherry barbs, 4 clown loaches 3" in size , 5 yoyo loach , 2 leopard loach , 4 kuhli loaches, 10 guppies, 2 small bosemani rainbow, 3 angel fishes...

Guppies aren't hard to breed-- they're hard to breed right. Keeping a strain is pretty difficult, which is why I concur with Mebbid in that you should start with wilds. Much more forgiving that way. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Humans were kind of nature's Frankenstein monsters, it needs some help. It's like being an amateur boxer or something and a pro comes to fight in your match- not gonna end well. Anyway, this is a thing, I've participated in dives that do it off the OC coast and also on installing thousands of...

Biologically you can fit two. But logistically they may or may not try to kill each other. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic
