So I have had a 200 watt Jager running in this tank with a calibration and temp setting that holds her steady at 24.9 Celsius since June. It was brand new then. I have never touched it. All of the sudden one day this week I see its on and the temp is 26.2 C and rising. I take it out, recalibrate...

Hi, can somebody please explain what are the fundamental differences between these 2 types of fish? I know glowfish owners can take a bad rap for owning something genetically modified but what’s up with the glowlights Thanks

I’m new to the hobby, so this is a 1st for me. I came home today from work, and I saw one (male) of my 6 albino cherry barbs hanging upside down in a patch of java moss, and barely moving in my 45 gallon community tank. He was no longer bright orange like the other 2. I’ve had them for 7 months...

Hi, my somewhat heavily planted tank is 24 inches deep, and has a glass lid and 36 inch light bar. In order to get to all the gravelled areas for vacuuming and plant trimming I need to remove this lid and light. Because of the way the tank is positioned in the room, I can’t see in it properly...

Hi. I have 2 different nitrites and 1 golden mystery. I presently have an invasion of tiny snail from what I think from some plants. My question is, will my 2 different breed of nitrites be successful in what I think I am looking at Tiger and tire track? I googled it and the majority say they...

Should I tell him to knock it off? Will it hurt him? It’s for the golden mystery snail.

Hi, we are planning to take a 10 day vacation soon and I'm ramping up for it. I ordered a good 750 volt UPS via work, in case of power failure, and ideally I want to get an automatic feeder, so I was wondering if anybody has some recommendations or lessons learned they could share pertaining to...

Hi everybody. I just wanted to share some recent changes I made to my 45 tank that I think will help me down the road. I also have a 10 gallon quarantine/hospital tank I fire up as needed, that also has a small sponge filter and air pump. In my 45 I use to run a small in invasive air stone as...

Hi, I got 3 males and 3 female Cherry barbs in a 45 gallon community aquarium that's not over crowded in the least. Anyway I knew they were rarin' to breed when I got them as they were pairing off and going bananas all over the tank. I just caught them either doin' the deed or more than likely...

Hi I bought a 10 gallon hospital/ quarantine tank along with a glass top, and I'm looking for an aquarium divider that will accommodate the glass lid. It's small but it's only for those small freshwater fish like neons and the sort. The only ones I have seen at Big Al's and online are ones that...

I got 2 male powder dwarf gouramis ( among others) and I got them approx 3 months ago young and they were my 1st fish. They were successful in helping me cycle my aquarium and they both have their own cave and property on each side of the tank. There always was one bully ( no fighting but just...

Hi, I wonder if someone could pipe in and give me their opinion surrounding the behaviour of these 2 fish. Hi have a new 45 gallon aquarium that successfully cycled and my numbers are all low end and great. In the aquarium I got 2 powder blue dwarf gouramis 7 neon tetras, and 3 male and 3 female...
