I plan to get a 38 gallon tank for my golden wonder killifish and want know how the max number I could house if the tank is heavily planted. All 3 appear to be male so if at the word of caution from others, I will potentially rehome 1 or 2 males and just get some females. Can anyone help me with...

I received 3 golden wonder killifish and I simply just need help sexing them. If they’re all males I’ll rehome 2 or just rehome the extra male and keep one. I did extensive research before I got them and I certainly believe they’re all 3 males, but wanted to be sure. They are also quite small as...

I recently re established my sorority a few days ago due to a rotten plant bulb from Petco causing a massive ammonia spike that killed my last one... after removing the bulb and seeing the Ammonia was down to 0ppm, i added a sponge filter for extra bio filtration and added a *single* female. She...

This is simply a question open to all to give their opinions about acclimating!! I would like to restock a tank of mine that has gone through a small crash (sadly) and would like to see about picking up 10 bleeding heart tetras. They would go through a whole acclimation and quarantining...

I bought a very small angelfish for a newly cycled tank that has 2 white dots in its tail. I treated it like ich in quarantine, however the spots are STILL THERE. They have not shrank nor have they grown or spread to the rest of its body. I’ll include a picture I took when I put the fish in a...

Hello, I currently am in the process of beautifying my 55 gallon community tank. My theme was for tropical riverbed but I have no idea which plants would be good!!! Ludwigia is okay looking and so far I’ve got some Brazilian pennywort for stemplants. I’ve got some bunches of hornwort as well...

I left my tanks last Friday for the weekend, all 3 of my angels in my 55 were completely fine like they normally are. When I came back Monday night my Altum angel has COMPLETELY disappeared! [emoji24] I can’t find her anywhere!!! I raised her from just the size of a nickel and it breaks my...

My anacharis is growing but it looks all hairy on the leaves, the newer shoots don’t look nearly as bad, some have none at all. But the older stems looked really rough and almost brown looking, thoughts? I since have propagated and pruned the plants to have short stalks but have one piece of an...

Hi everyone, tonight my question is simple but let me explain a few things first: I know if you have a very intense light, that you need the Ferts and or CO2 to keep up with it or you get algae like no tomorrow! SO, my question is: can i just use ferts and root tabs to provide my plants with...
