Okay, I've decided on a pufferfish for my 90g. I just don't know what species yet. Does anyone have any recommendations for a beginner puffer for a 90g, fresh<->brackish, that's highly interactive? It'll be a species only tank, either as a single specimen or a small group, depending on the...

I've been thinking about doing something new with my 90g. It's currently freshwater, but I'll be doing something new once I rehome it's current occupants. I've been thinking about a brackish tank. My current ideas are either Puffers, Mollies, or Mudskippers. The Puffer would likely be...

I picked these two up from my LFS yesterday. I ordered them in two weeks ago, and they were ready to come home! They were already paired up when I got them.

I just picked up this little gem at my LFS. I had to get it ordered in, and it looks a lot prettier than the pictures I'd seen of Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura when I was researching Cirrhilabrus species for my 55g reef tank. It's pretty small right now, maybe around 3" or so?

I'm upgrading my 32g Biocube reef to a 55g on Wednesday. I'll be moving my Zoa frags, emerald crab, snails, and GSP rock to the new tank. Planned fish: I know for sure I'll get a smaller clown to be sure it's male. I plan on having a Purple Firefish, or something else purple...

I've been thinking about upgrading my reef tank to a 40b, but it's hard to find decent stands when on a budget. I was thinking about making one out of wood. Would I need 1x4s, or would 2x4s work? What about sealing it from damage, the best coating to protect it from water damage?

I'm thinking of upgrading my reef from my 32 Biocube to a 40b. It currently has a small True Percula, which killed the other one I got with it, five Margarita snails, a female Emerald Crab, a few Zoa frags, and a rock covered in a GSP. I'd plan to have a Goby, if my LFS can get one in...

I've recently seen a couple baby Jaguar Cichlids in my LFS, a fish that I'd researched a bit previously, but ultimately decided I'd never be able to keep, do to their large size and lack of room for a 200g tank. I've researched them a bit more, since I saw them in my LFS, and some places say...

I've got a 10g that I plan on putting a Gourami in. The exact Gourami is still up in the air. I'd love to have a Dwarf Gourami, but I've gotten some mixed info. Would a single Dwarf Gourami be happy in a 10g, or should I go with my second choice of a Honey Gourami?

I've got a 90g tank that I'm planning on stocking with Kribensis and Congo Tetras. It'll have areas of driftwood, cichlid stones, and live plants. What live plants would be best for the background, that are low maintenance, and preferably biotope? How many Congo tetras should I stock, I plan on...

I need help with some ideas for stocking a 55g tank, and a 90g. One of the tanks must be a South American Blackwater tank, and have stock compatible with a school of Glowlight tetras and BN plecos. They both have to have an eye catcher, AKA a larger fish that sticks to the middle of the water...

I picked up a pair of baby Angelfish yesterday. They're about quarter to half dollar in size. One of them has yellow on the head, underneath black. The other doesn't have yellow, aside from a gold eye. They both have black patches here and there, along with black streaks on tail. They're clear...

Well, I found this when I was moving my Glowlights and half of my BN plecos to make room for Bleeding Hearts and Angels. I knew I had a male, but from what I can see, I think I ended up with three females. Lucky boy!

I've been attempting to DIY an ouflow and an intake for Cascade and Fluval canister filters. I am unable to get the correct outflow, so I've got to DIY one out of PVC. I've got 3/4" PVC, but the hoses on both filters are 5/8". I've got a 13mm Lily Pipe Spin attached to a 307, but I had to...

I've been thinking about getting a sump for a few tanks. I'll DIY them, but I need to know how big of one I need. All tanks will have a DIY lily pipe spin outflow. The first is for a 90g Angelfish tank. Either 6 juveniles, or a breeding pair of adults. A school of a dozen or two Bleeding...

I've got a 90g tank that I'm thinking of redoing. It currently has a bottom of the barrel, Albino Senegal Bichir. It's still just a baby, less than 6", and only a threat to small fry. I'm thinking of having a Tanganyika cichlid, but preferably one one not small enough to be eaten by the Bichir...

Would it be safe to use silk leaves in an aquarium? I'm trying to figure out an easy way to make leaf litter for aSouth American Blackwater Biotope, but IAL are expensive, hard to find in bulk, and don't last long enough. I've got a 55g that I'm hoping to cover in leaf litter.

How advanced are Amazon Sword plants? Do they need anything fancy like fertilizers or CO2? Or are they fine with just being planted in the sand? Are they okay in newly setup tanks? How does the required care compare to Vallisneria americana? I'll be setting up a South American Blackwater...

I'll be redoing my 90g soon to accommodate an Apistogramma Biotope. It'll have a pair of Panduro Blue, some Golden Rams, about two dozen Glowlight Tetras, four BN plecos, planted with Vallisneria, and infested with Ramshorns. The filter is a Cascade 1200, or an FX4. I haven't decided which yet...

I have two wild type axolotls, and they bred unexpectedly on 12-21-2021. The larvae are about 15 days old now, growing good and getting their front legs. I have a lot of wild type larvae, some leucistic, and golden albino. Some of the golden albino larvae look different. When I separated them...

I've been thinking about redoing my 90g. I have a pair of Apistogramma in a 20 long, along with a male BN pleco and a school of Glowlight tetras. If I planted a 90g well enough, would they get along with Golden Rams? Or would I be better off with Bolivian Rams?

Would it be safe to plant Vallisneria in an Mbuna tank? Or would they eat it/uproot it? The Mbuna in question are Red-Red Zebras, Rusties, Yelloytail Acei, and Yellow Labs.

Would Vallisneria survive in a 55g or 90g Axolotl tank? Would the Axolotls uproot it, or would it be okay?

I've got a 32g biocube that's a reef tank. It currently has a pair of Clownfish, a Purple Firefish, A Yellow Watchman, three Margarita snails, a GSP, and some small Zoa frags. I've also been thinking about adding an Azure Damsel. So, what would be a good shrimp to add in? I don't want anything...

I recently got a 5g AIO tank that was used as a saltwater tank. I'll probably end up using it as a Zoa Garden, but need ideas of what else to stock it with. Does anyone have any suggestions?
