Hey guys. My Betta ate a small grain of aquarium sand that happened to float at the top. He's white and I think I can actually see it in his stomach. He's acting perfectly normal everything is great. But that. He's not bloated at all. What should I do? Fast and pea? Do you think he will pass it...

I know this question has been asked a lot. But I just need reassurance about my particular problem. I love my Betta, but today I dropped him and his tank off at a friends because I am going out of state for approx 5 weeks and couldn't bring him with me. But I had an accident happen... As I was...

Hey guys. I have a question about tank cleaning. I had a Betta die recently from what I belive to be dropsy. It was sad but I had him for several years. I want to move my other Betta fish into his old tank. How do I clean it safely for him? Thank you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using...

Hey guys, I just thought I would share my new Craigslist find. This is what I belive to be a 95 gallon wave front aquarium. I'm so stoked. I got everything for $30. Yeah, it needs some major TLC but it will be a fun project. It's structurally sound and not broken anywhere just dirty. The stand...

So, I know many of you noticed my post about my friend not listening to my suggestions about her fish. OH MY GOD GUESS WHAT HAPPEND? He died. But wait get this... She then proceeds to buy 2... Yes 2 fish for this little not even a gallon tank and even worse they were a glofish (white skirt...

I don't know my tank specs. Its a 5 gallon with fluval filter. I've had this Betta for about a year now. Originally saved him from Wallmart... and he is an awesome fish but I feel like he is nearing the end of his life way too soon... He cant swim properly, he floats to the surface and has to...

Okay so this is a rant. Maybe some of you share the same issues. Betta fish are so mistreated and are the most common "let's buy a fish on a whim" type of fish. I live the dorms in college and a lot of people have bettas in their rooms. I have two each in a 5 gallon with filters and all the...

Hello, So I'm on my way off to College again. I have a 5 gallon fluval spec Betta tank I set up in my dorm. My Betta named Jimmy actually travels cross country with me on my way to school. (I live in Arizona and go to school in Kentucky). I drive there and he's already made the trip with me...

I just noticed my neon tetra looks like this. What could this be? I have had one bloated like this that I got from the store that way and it ended up dying... Sorry that the pictures are not that great it's the best I can do with my phone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice...

Hey guys, People have probably asked this question before but I want your guys opinion. What do you guys think of sand or gravel? I have always had gravel in my fish tanks. I tried sand once with no luck. I think a tank with white sand would be pretty smart looking. Which is better? What do...

So like I have 2 fish tanks. 1 36 gal bow front and another 45 gal with curved edges. They are both really nice tanks. I have the 36 gal set up right now. I still need to do a bit more fixing up on the 45. It's 9 gal more than I have right now. Do you guys think it is worth it to switch? I won't...

So, I really wanted to upgrade my filter. I got a fluval aquaclear 70 and love it. I just now had time to set it up today. We had to move the tank out from the wall a few inches so we could put it behind the tank. But now I have a problem... My tank is not stable. It's on carpet. When it was...

So I have a few tetras. All purchased at the same time about a month ago. I'm just curious if some fish can grow faster than others. They are all white skirt tetras. But one of them is about his full adult size. While the other ones have bairly grown since I got them. Is this normal? All of them...

I just bought this 55 fish tank for $35. (still looks smaller than 55 to me but what it lacks in length it makes up for in height and width). I had to rescue it lol. I talked her down a lot in price and figured what the heck. The brand is "Mj baolai" looks really old. Like 70's or 80's lol. I...

Apparently this is a 55 gal fish tank. Does anyone know what make/model this is? What brand? Etc? I really want it... It's a steal. But I want to know the brand and if it's actually 55 gal. I tried really hard to find info on it and nothing. Any thoughts? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using...

Does anyone have any experience with the fluval aquaclear 70? Or any of the aquaclear filters? I saw it in store and I REALLY like it. I love being able to customize the filter media but having the simplicity of a hob filter. I tried a canister and it didn't work with my tank and stand and I had...

So I've heard from you guys and other people as well that I should get more filtration for my tank. (I was going to post this on my other thread but I figured I would just start a new one). I'm really trying to be a good fishkeeper this time around lol. But my tank is very heavily, slightly...

So like, I've gone back and forth about my fish stock. I've changed my mind like 5 times. First I was like I want a Betta soroity, no wait a community tank. I want gourami... Or angel fish... Or both. Trust me I researched like everything over and over and over again to make sure it would work...

Hey guys, I recently got my bf into fish keeping. LOL. We found a brand new 10 gal fish tank kit unopened at this thrift store for a really good price. So we bought it. He has a smaller tank (Like way small) already with 2 baloon mollies and a snail. The baloon mollies are female. Does...

Hello. I recently noticed algae growing on my silk plants. Only a few of them and it only shows up on the lighter colored ones. I thought I could scrub it off but it didn't come off. I tried vinegar and that didn't work either. I just scrubbed it in vinegar. Has anyone had this happen to them...

I like to pass the time watching youtube videos. I watch aquarium videos a lot. I've been interested in Angelfish recently. I saw videos of angelfish and neon tetras, and also angelfish and cardinal tetras. I was curious so I looked up more on angelfish to find that mostly everyone says do not...

Before I describe my problem I have a 36 gal fish tank. So... I have a problem. A friend of mine recently got rid of her fish tank and fish. All the fish except her pleco. She offered it to me and I accepted as my tank is still not fully stocked and I haven't decided on my last fish yet so I...

Hey guys, I'm finally getting things sorted out in my tank. It's been running for about a month and I'm still going to be adding a few more fish. I've changed a few fish around and finally have the stock I want. 36 gallon bow front with large aqueon quiet flow power filter. Stock: 6 glofish...

Decided to make a new thread since this is about my ammonia not pH. I'm uploading a pic can you guys tell me if this is 0 or .25. Thanks! :) My nitrite is 0. Nitrate is .5 :thanks: By the way, my pH is lowering itself without any intervention and is now reading 8.0!

I've had this tank set up for 4 weeks and have been slowly adding fish. I just got the API freshwater master test kit yesterday and tested everything. Before this I was having the pet store test my water for free... But the guy would just be like oh yeah everything's okay this is a little high...
