    Platy and Guppy success, while Molly never.

    So I have a problem with Molly. They can give birth and sometimes even when they're in a cramped/overstocked tank, they still can find a place to hide and then give birth. But the problem is, even if I move the fry to an empty tank (ofc with aeration and filter) they will die in the next day or...

    How to lower pH?

    I want to keep an angelfish and/or discus in a 40-50 US gallon tank. But I don't know how to make my tap water turn more acidic and stay like that. Anyone knows how or maybe there is an article here regarding this? I'm posting this here because I don't know where else should I post this.

    Platy breeding success! What now?

    Ok so I moved my pregnant platy to the empty fry tank yesterday night. Today when I got back from school I saw these baby fishes at the bottom of the tank. And there's a lot of them. I turned off the filter to prevent them from getting sucked inside the filter (just in case). Since they're...

    What filtration system should I consider??

    I've heard about power filters, HOB filters, canister filters, etc (right now I use mostly over the top box filter for most aquariums or power filters with sponges). But I've never even once had a crystal clear water in any of my tank. Do you guys have any suggestion on what should I try and...

    Methylene Blue vs Acriflavine

    Which is more effective for which disease?? Are they useful or you prefer other medicine for specific common diseases. Because here Acriflavine and Methylene Blue has similar purposes (written on their box/bottles). That's why I ask if they're efficient or not. Whether what the box say was 100%...

    What is OTC medication??

    I found a site that tells me about OTC medication (Over-the-counter medication). And I just don't know what this means and what should I do. Let's say for an example: OTC medication for parasites.

    So just yesterday I bought 2 guppy females, they're quite big already so I guess they're ready to be bred.

    Anyone has any kind of experience with them?? I never have any experience nor looking into it in the internet. So I decided to ask you guys here about this first, while surfing the net for this matter. Since it is neon but with different color, I guess they have the same rules, etc as blue &...

    Can Koi eat other fish??

    I have 2 butterfly Koi and they're still in their medium size right now. But I've been experiencing a lot of Danios missing from the tank. Now even my snow white is missing (its size is small enough to be eaten by koi even in their medium size) so I suspect the Koi. They're the only ones who can...

    A little question about cory in aquascape

    I heard that cory is not suitable for aquascape and not compatible with some other fishes (because they are aggressive??). Is that true?

    White spot problem

    Almost all of my fishes in the tank got infected by white spot. Sometimes the spot go from one fish to another. Should I cure them individually in a separate tank or should I cure them all at once, sick or not??? This is my first time dealing with such illness.
