Hello everyone! Today I did a 40% water change today and to my dismay my beautiful orange and blue male molly has begun acting weird. I did my usual water change adding 3 tablespoons of aquarium salt, the recommended amount of conditioner, and matched the temperature of the water fairly closely...

Hello everyone! Yesterday I purchased two new mollies for my aquarium. Both fit in right away and swam with the others with no problem. Today I fed them blood worms as a treat and one of the older mollies began nipping at one of the newer ones. I broke up their fights a few times with my...

Hello everyone! I've had my 20 gallon set up for just over a month and a half. So far I've had thriving live plants, another molly drop a huge batch of fry (25 or so. Only 2 survived. I used some to feed my other fish too), and everyone is happy! I have 3 female mollys, a male, and 2 fry too...

Hello everyone! Yesterday I purchased 4 mollies. Unknowingly I accidentally bought 2 males and 2 females. I placed all 4 in the tank before noticing the two males. One is orange with black eyes and the other was a dalmatian. The dalmatian wasted no time getting jiggy with the two females but he...

So I've done fishless cycles and cycles using only plants and fish flakes but I'm curious about other types of cycles. One of my friends said that if you start your tank and add Nutrifin Cycle immediately you can add fish that day. Is that true? I've also heard that taking a filter from...

So today I picked up some plants for my 20 gallon aquarium (cardamine and lilaeopsis) and I noticed they had some duckweed floating around in a tank. At the time I didn't know what it was so I asked the gentleman working in the department and he said that it's duckweed and very good at helping...

Hello everyone, I recently started a 20 gallon tank and right now I have an anubias and a wisteria. What other low matenance plants would you recommend? I would like a big tall one (possibly Brazilian Pennywart) or similar and a couple medium plants and a small one. Any recommendations? Sent...

Hello everyone! I am setting up a 20 gallon freshwater tank and yesterday I purchased this plant. It looks a little like kale or baby arugula. Apparently it's quite popular. Any idea what it could be? Sorry the picture is sideways :/ Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I was in the Drumheller museum and came across these fish (yes they are alive). Anyone ever seen these guys before? Sorry for the blurry shots. The light quality isn't great Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello everyone! So last night I was at my local pet store and bought a 20 gallon tank just because. The girlfriend wasn't too happy but once I told her my plan she changed her mind. I want to breed some balloon mollies because who can say no to those cute little guys (and gals). I'm planning...

Hello everyone! I'm trying a completely live plant tank. So far all my plants are doing swimmingly (sorry for the pun), except for a Monte Carlo. I realized now that it's probably not going to make it so I'm wondering what other carpeting plants I could add to my tank. I want something so if...

Hello everyone! Last week I purchased some Monte Carlo in hopes it will eventually carpet my 10 gallon tank. I followed the directions on the package cutting it in to 6 pieces and planting it in my desired location. Aside from my apple snail knocking the odd one out of the substrate and seeing...

Hello everyone! I purchased a 10 gallon tank about a month ago (it was a house warming present to myself), and I've run in to a couple issues: 1). I have a few live plants (I'm not sure on the names but I'll attach a photo as soon as I can), and most of them are doing well aside from a carpeting...
