I would say around 60-70$ for the lights. Something for a low-tech planted tank. Sent from my 831C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi all, I recently came across a 15 gallon tank and hood. I currently have a 10 gallon and would like to transfer my fish and plants. I need help selecting a new light and heater. My tank is planted with a few plants which have been doing well in my current setup. I am trying to find a...

Hi all, I recently found an abandoned 15 gallon tank. I hosed it down and tested it for leaks. I currently have a 10 gallon community of mostly tetras. I was wondering if there was any single fish, other than a betta, that would be suited for this tank. Since the tank was free I want to keep...

Hi all, Recently I have began to notice one of my anubias plants growing a small bud. My lights aren't the best so I assumed it was just a new leaf growing towards the light. Could this be a flower? Does this plant flower? What will I begin to see. The picture I attached is not my plant but...

I replace about half the water once a week. Before the window he was near an open window. It was cooler there but this behavior started before the move. Sent from my 831C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi all, So I've been keeping freshwater fish for a while in my dorm room and would like to try a nano fowlr. My friends have been bugging me about doing one and my girlfriend really wants me to get a "memo fish". I've been doing lots of research and asking around. There's only one lfs in my area...

Hi all, Recently my betta has started swimming erratically whenever I approach the tank. Normally when I feed him he is calm and I can feed him one pellet at a time. Lately it's been hard to feed him because he knocks the pellets into the plants where he can't them. I just moved him about 3...

I've been looking to get a jbj tank but I can't find one anywhere near me. Where did you get yours? Sent from my 831C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi all, I'm looking to get a tank around 3-6 gallons. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with the fluval aquariums such as the spec. How's the filtration? Are they worth it over just a standard 5 gallon aquarium? How's the quality with these products? Thanks! Dorm room fish keeper

Hi all, I'm in a dorm room and space is a little limited. My tank is currently on a dresser which I would like to free up. I would like to build a stand myself but am having a hard time finding plans. I have a design in mind but I'm no engineer and don't know what materials to use or how strong...

I wish there was a sticky with everything you need on a planted tank. There's so many different opinions and ideas in this hobby it's hard to find reliable and consistent information Dorm room fish keeper

I currently have a single aqueon 15 watt t8 bulb. I've been doing a lot of research to figure out what bulb is the best for me. I figure it's better for me to have more lighting than necessary since I have ottos and nerite snails that do an amazing job at keeping algae at bay. However, I can't...

Hi all, I have several questions about lighting and some help with plants I currently have in my tank. First off is the lighting. I currently have a single aqueon 15w t8 bulb. I'm not sure what type of light it is though. I have 2 Anubis nana, 2 bocopa and 3 large crypt that I moved from...

I put the paper from my old bio wheel in the bag with the new bio media. I had the same issue when I set the tank up. The guy at the LFS said cycling was unnecessary as long as I added the fish slowly. But it cleared up quickly. Dorm room fish keeper
