Thanks for the advice, princessp714!

I have both of those things currently in the tank he'll be going into! So at least I know I am on the right track. Thanks Sombunya!

Okay, so I'm rescuing a GSP from a dirty over-stocked tank from this small town dumpy Wal-Mart. He looks healthy except I think he was really under fed and also has some fin damage. What I need is any advice or tips on keeping a GSP, and also if anyone knows what I can do to make him healthier...

Sometimes when you start a new tank (Like when the filter broke) the water tends to be murky for a bit until your first water change. After that, the murkiness should be gone.

I have three Zebra Danios and let me tell you, they are good hogs! But I mainly feed them the flake food, and I use sinking food for the rest. My poor Platys didn't eat for days because I didn't notice the problem! But now I think everyone is better about sharing. LOL!

So I just upgraded to a 15 gallon tank, and it's amazing. I had 4 Fancy Guppies left over from my 5 tank and thought I'd throw them in. But then I realized with a 15 gallon tank, I can keep bigger fish in there! So excitedly I ran to the LFS and saw these pretty Dwarf Gouramies! But I only had...

Awesome tank. I'm still getting the hang of mine. So far I really like my tank set up! But someday I'll have something likes yours. Give me time! I'm still reluctant to keep real plants. =/

Aww that's so stinkin' cute! I'm glad you have him and the delivery went well and everything!

Sadly the driftwood I found floats, haha. I forgot about the DRIFT part. But I am going to get the heavier fake one. Hopefully it doesn't mess up the flow of my aquarium! Thanks Dottie! I can't wait to see Balthazar!

I was thinking mixing some black and white gravel together and lining the base with that, then adding some larger stones in one corner, and a small piece of drift wood in the other with plants all around it. Maybe live... haven't decided yet. And set up an airstone in the driftwood to have the...

I worked at PetSmart fresh out of college, too. Hahaha, and yes you feel silly... but it's a fun job!

Hello everyone! Since I've started my tank, I've been seeing all of these tanks online with beautiful aqua scape and really cool ideas and such. I have an 8 gallon, and I'd like some advice, ideas, or creative thoughts on what I should do. I wanna make something a little different, but am...

Those pictures just made me realize how boring my tank is. =[ Hahaha looks EXPENSIVE. It's so beautiful. If I had it, I'd stare at it for days at a time.

That is the prettiest thing ever! I'd love to have one of those, but the Apartment owners would be mad if I started digging holes in the ground of that size. =]

We had a pond, and it was about the size you were describing. The fish didn't make it through the winter for me, but loved Spring, Fall, and Summer. Then again I live in Iowa, and our winters can get into the teens, too.
