Hello everyone, so up until yesterday had a 10 gallon with 6 Glo-Fish. Today I'm down to 4 of them. They're rather old - almost a year and my water parameters are good. My question is should I add more Glo-Fish or just let them phase out? These guys are technically my boyfriend's fish but he...

So my friend rescued a fish from Walmart but he has forgotten what type of fish it is. Can anyone identify him? Also, I've already told him that he needs to get a larger tank pronto for said fish. He's going to get a 10 gallon for the little guy as soon as he gets his paycheck.

Hello all, So quick opinion poll. I recently got a tiny betta (named Cutie) and have been keeping her in a 1.5 gallon tank for a quarantine period. I didn't like how small it was so I thought I would try her in my 10 gallon with my 2 female platies. Well, 1 of my platies passed away which left...

Hello all, So I'm on a fact gathering mission for my 30 gallon that I'm in the process of resealing. I'm not 100% confident in my abilities to reseal this tank and as I don't want 30 gallons of water everywhere in my second floor apartment, I was thinking some sort of paludarium. Like...

Hello all, So I recently got a free 30 gallon from a friend, I knew it had a leak when i got it so i went ahead and prepared for resealing (silicone 1, razor, painter's tape, etc). However, I've never resealed a tank before. As I have been removing the silicone, I've noticed that there is a lot...

Hello all, So I've been contemplating ideas for a 30 gallon tall that will eventually be in my apartment. Here's my list of ideas, please let me know what you think: Option 1: Move my 3 platies (currently in a 10 gallon) to said 30 (cannot do this until I find out why one is sick and make sure...

Hello all, So one of my platies is swimming oddly. She almost seems slightly bent and is doing an odd shuffling type of wiggling motion when she swims (I know it sounds weird). I also noticed that she has been laying on the bottom of the tank a lot. I just did a wc and media change within the...

Hello all, So I just recently got 2 additional platies and have noticed that all 3 of my platies seem ... fatter. Are they dropsy? Or pregnant? I only have 3 females, no males. 1 (the orange sunset one) is a rescue whose old owner had her for about 6 months and who came with a larger tummy - I...

Hello all, So I've decided to take the plunge and experiment with live plants in a 3 gallon that I'm getting back from a friend. The filter is most likely a whisper 3i filter as the tank is the start up kit from Walmart. There isn't anything in the tank right now, not even gravel. I plan on...

Hello all, So I may have a dead snail but I cannot tell. When I remove him from the tank, he doesn't smell but he doesn't really move either. He does retract a minimal amount when I gently tap the part of him that is out of the shell (his foot?) but not a lot. He's just been floating at the...

Hello all, So I just got another 10 gallon today (I managed to get a used tank, filter, hood, heater, and stand for $10). Problem is it came with a female platy and a black nerite snail (probably) that I didn't realize were in the tank. The old owner transported them in the tank but I had to...

So, I may be getting a new 30 gallon tank. However, the person I'm getting it from says that it may leak (luckily she is just giving it to me). The reason why the possible leak is due to her finding little puddles (only twice has she found them) at the back left corner of her aquarium. However...

Hello all, So I'm new here and I have a 10 gallon tank with a penguin biowheel model 150 filter. I got an unexpected goldfish from a family member and received him in a tiny approximately 5 gallon tank. After reading up on them I discovered that the 5 gallon would eventually kill said goldie so...

Hello all, I'm new. I have an approximately 10 gallon tank with a single common "feeder" goldfish (he or she is approximately an inch long and was gifted to me unexpectedly). I do plan to upgrade said fish (named Lucky by my five year old) to a large pond filled with other common goldfish at my...
