I just got the sunsun filter. I set it all up and plugged it in. The motor started but nothing was happening so I turned it off and pumped the primer a few more times. Turned it back on, motor went on, but again, nothing. So I filled the canister all the way up and then pumped it a few times...

Am I crazy? I have a 55gal stocked with literally everything: a few mollies, 2 parrot cichlids, african cichlids, plecos, iridescent shark, and danios. XD I know that I shouldn't mix such aggressive fish with community fish but my 10 gal community tank was WAY overstocked so I moved the bigger...

Hello all! I've had my 30 gallon up and cycling and have successfully added some hermit crabs and snails and then a clown fish. I would really like to start some soft corals but I'm really stumped by the light. I bought a Koval led light strip but I was told it wasn't powerful enough. I was...

Can my Clownfish eat collard greens? (How about cichlids, bettas, and glofish?)

The past few days, my convict has started behaving weirdly. At first he would just stay right next to the heater and didn't move now he has started sitting on the bottom of the tank. I'm not sure what is wrong. My water parameters are good but I'm planning on doing a water change this afternoon...

Hey yesterday I turned on my tank lights and saw that my shark had a gash on his head! He's not too bright so he could have run into something but that's probably unlikely. I just moved him to a tank by himself. Is there anything I can do to help him heal?

Hello everyone! I have a 55gal cichlid tank that I do 20% water changes on every week. I've been using a syphon and bucket but it is so heavy and it takes forever. I've seen the syphon hoses that are like 25 ft but that wouldn't reach my sink. Does anyone know the longest one they have? Like...

I have an iridescent shark (about 9-10") in a 55 gal tank with other cichlids. The poor thing just swims into the side all day... is the tank too small for him/her? I got her from a tank about that size with other big fish. I don't want him/her to be miserable. If it's too small, I will rehome it.

Hello everybody! I'm taking an animal training class in college. We are currently training betta fish to swim through hoops. It got me thinking, can I possibly train my parrot cichlids? Or is that not something that is really done? Sent from my SM-G935V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey everyone! I have a 55 gal tank with 2 parrot cichlids, a pleco, and a large (about 8") iridescent shark. I have a small (about 2") iridescent shark in a 10 gal tank. I would like to move him to the 55 gal but will the parrots hurt him because he's so tiny? The parrots aren't full grown, they...

Hey everybody! My name is Ashlee, I'm 20 years old, and I am a new fish mommy! I've had a 10 gallon glo fish tank for a few years with no problems so I finally decided to get more. I currently have a 55gal cichlid tank. I'm so ignorant and don't know much yet but I'm hoping to learn! Sent from...
