I was watching my betta in his 2.5 gallon tank and I noticed this almost transparent thing at the bottom. At first I thought it was some debris off of the plant. Upon further inspection I noticed this thing is alive! It has 2 antlers and 6 legs. The legs are bent like a cricket or spider. It's...

I just noticed these little black bugs at the bottom of my beta's fish tank this morning. They weren't there on Friday. I didn't work yesterday so these little things appeared sometime within the last 3 days. Does anyone have any idea what they are and if they are harmful? What should I do to...

I have a 10 gallon fish tank that is well established. I did a 50% water change on it about a month ago because I had 3 fish die on me within a 2 week time frame. I figured to do a good cleaning. I also changed out the filter because it was starting to look full. After this water change I...

I have 2 dwarf puffer fish in a 2.5 gallon tank. I did some research to figure out how to tell the sex of the puffers and what I found was that if there is a black line on the stomach, then it's a male. One of my puffers has that black line. The other one does not. The one without the line, I...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this website and forum (obviously because of the section I left this message in). I was wondering how do I submit a photo for the photo contest? Also, can I keep a Figure Eight or Green Spotted puffer fish in a 2.5 gallon tank by himself? Thanks in advance for all feedback.
