So a question that comes up a lot is what can go into a five gallon aquarium. This expects heat and filtration and good water. I have made a list over the years on what I KNOW people have been successful with. As such, can you help me expand this list? Please only add if YOU have done it...

So a while back I had a bad disease out break, devastated an assortment of many of my fish. A few hung in there for months, but in the end... they left the world. Basically every single fish I ever bought from Petco (plus those they infected) has died. Sad. I won't be going back to those stores...

Hey all, I just would love to see what tools or equipment that is absolutely vital to your aquarium keeping? Just add one item with a why please. This could be helpful to new people in the hobby. Item: bucket Why: The bucket is more than tank setup, water changes and gravel cleaning. It's...

So my wife says the tank looks like a jungle (what, 1.5 plants per gallon isn't enough... need 2). But seriously enjoying my first tank back in the hobby. I could not do an unplanted aquarium. But it is now stocked! So what do I have so far… 45 Gallon tank with: 7 Neon Tetra 5 Rummy-nose...

So, I ordered aome convos from a breeder today. Purchased six. So... first question is when do they get their colors? If i had gone to the store they would be a bit longer and way more colorful. Next off, every documentation I have seen, and in the store they are always in the top half of...

Hey all, So I am thinking of a small Walstad betta tank. I have been trying to find a tank that caught my eye that would fit in my office... and be small enough to move to it when I am back in the office. I wanted something unique, but still obviously a tank. So, I am looking at this...

Hey all, So i wanted to share something I have never seen before and I thought was seriously cool. So two of my neons were full on fighting each other... it's sad but happens. They had been going back and forth for over a minute. And then they were both rammed and knocked apart.... by on of my...

So, I am totally irritated with my nitrogen cycle. So, I have fish in cycled with Stability, and have a planted tank. So what is weird is my Ammonia sits at zero, my nitrites sits between 0.01 and 0.02, my nitrates sit around 3-5. Argh. Keep wanting the magic zero. Thoughts?

Anyone have a tank go all cloudy when using paraguard? I just started getting serious clouding. No ammonia, .05 nitrite and 10 nitrate. Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

Hey all, I was just wondering something. I am checking out aqadvisor, and I swear it considers the bioload of a cherry shrimp as about equal to a neon... and I swear they should be like a tenth. Am I totally wrong? Just wondering, because I am thinking of setting up a nano tank in my office...

Hello, I have a Rummy Nose tetra that is swiming off, and I noticed that the body around the dorsal fin is whitish, or silverish. He is not swiming with the school, and I am wondering if anyone can tell me: 1. Is the fish sick? 2. Is the fish injured? 3. Recommendations?

My GBRs ... genders anyone? My first try at photographing my individual fish. By the way, if anyone can help on genders, it would be appreciated.

I have a tank again! With fish! It's a start. One complete tank. And yes... Ended up grabbing a heater. Hope the plants take a good root and grow. Three rams in there need places to hide. Compromises... But super happy with the appearance. Hope you like! Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

So around four decades ago I picked up my first fish. Back then to get more, my mother gave me an interesting task: read every aquarium book in the local library before I purchased more. This started an early obsession that lasted over two decades. Why did I get out of it? Too many moves. I...

Hey all, I have a weird question. So I bought a AquaClear 50 for my new 45G tank. Honestly, it just wasnt up to clearing the water and it was too close for my taste on recommendations, so I swapped it for a 70. Both were Fluval brand. Now the weird part is it says it has BioMax. They both...

So my wife asked me an odd question. She asked, do we really need a heater? Honestly, I said yes, but I would like to know your thoughts. Now what she wants is a her feeder goldfish in the tank, with some tetras and danios. Now room temp in my home varies 72-77 degrees Fahrenheit (22-25 C.)...

Hey all, So I just jumped back into this hobby after about 15 years of a hiatus. So starting out I am planning a community planted tank. Now comes the oddity, I decided to try out some more plant friendly substrate, so am trying CaribSea Flora Max Planted Aquarium Substrate in a 45 gallon...
