*stocking sorry :) Ok, currently I have 2 zebra danios and 3 neon tetras in my ten gallon tank. I used to have many more danios but some died and some got wrapped around the filter and died which is really freaky but it happened. As of now everything is ok, and I don't want to add any more...

Can betta fish eat tropical fish flakes? Is it ok?

I am going to get a new 10 gal or 20 gal tank. I was wonder if I could just put two dwarf gouramis in the tanks and nothing else. Would this still be to much for the tank to handle? If so what other combos would you think? I don't want any mollies as they are vulenerable to getting sick and I...

First of all I just want to say thank you so much for everyone's advice before on my danio/zebra issue. I bought more zebra danios and the tetras and danios have been getting along GREAT for months now! I have a 10 gal with 3 neon tetras and 5 zebra danios. Today I noticed one zebra danio's...

I noticed last night one of my neon tetras was swimming on his side at the very back of the tank and was barely moving as if something really awful happened. I decided I would give it the night and see if he would pull through or you know. Well this morning he is now swimming around normally...

I put a zebra danio last night in my tank with my 7 tetras. The zebra this morning is chasing the tetras around and I don't know if it looks like biting but the zebra is right on their tale picking out one tetra and cahsing it. Is this nomral or is the zebra being aggresive? Or is just normal...

Thanks for everyone this site and in the chatroom who helped. I just wanted to post it on here anyways. I keep getting green cloudy water or I just started to begin getting it. I did my weekly water change as always, cleaned the gravel clean with my vac, but in a few days it came back. So...

I bought 3 neon tetras and 2 balloon mollies and put them in my tank. I bought one balloon molly first then waited for 5 days and added the other four. They have been fine for about 4 days until I came in tonight and found one neon tetra belly up. The other tetras were perfectly healthy and...

My tank finally cycle and today I bought a black balloon molly and put it in. It's eating, swimming around and doing fantastic! Thank you all for all your help! One last question concerning the lights. Should they be on at night full time or I'm not sure?

Hey all thanks for your continued support. My cycle is near completion it has been very slow but the nitrites have been up to 5 ppm now for 1 1/2 weeks and the ammonia wiped out. Soon finally to have a living aquarium. The problem is my cycle has gone so slow that the water has evaporated out...

I really feel bad because I admit I am one of those small tank beta owners. Would it be ok if I put my beta in my 10 gallon which is cycling right now, because it is a hardier fish and it gives him more room. Would the fish be ok?

After that awful nano tank problem, I refunded it and bought a new 12-15 gallon with the filter and heater. I put all the decorations in let it run for the night and am about to start the fishless cycle with the fish food and some decorations from another tank. I am thinking after its done and...

The pump is not working. I filled the water up to the filtration chambers, switched the black foam with the filter floss, and put the media together in one chamber. I plugged in the filter and it's making a stutterting sound and nothing is coming in or out. But I do not think it's broken...

Hey guys, I have followed everything and the tank is setup and ready for cycling and water. Just wondering, I saw fish food can be used as an ammonia source for the cycle if great amounts are used. I have a large amount of betta fish food and was wondering if this would acceptable for ammonia...

I have a 12 gallon visioncube and it has a carbon pillow packet and a ceramic or cemenet pillow packet. They were in the filters and I'm not sure if I should put them back after rinising it off from the shipping material?

How often should I be testing after I began my cycling process. Would it be everyday or every 3 days? And will it be done when the nitrate level is an alltime high and the ammonia and nitrite is 0? And I forgot but how often should pH levels be tested? After the cycling has finished, should I...

Hey everyone! This seems like a fantastic form to be at so I decided I would ask for help. This is my first time dealing with a real aquarium, and as a starter I just chose a small good 12 gallon. My questions are what fish would work for this type of tank? And could you also explain the...
