Cyanide. Sodium cyanide is often used to harvest tropical fish for the pet trade in non-lethal doses. Fine. For some fish. Others suffer neurological damage, reproductive harm, and other health problems. This decreases their longevity in captivity as well as the overall health of their...

Hmmmm.... I have a 5 gallon hex tank and I'd like to stock it. Preferably with some detritivores and limited live plants (silk/artificial preferred). The fish don't have to be anything especially pretty... I've got some experience with bettas in 3-5 gallon tanks and I am ready and willing to...

I'm sort of a newbie and I'd prefer clean, hardy fish... fish that are the prettiest relative to how easy they are to take care of. Tank size will probably be 10g. Any suggestions? Thanks.

He/she/it is now about 2 inches long and may need a bigger home- it lives in a large coleslaw container with daily water changes, yet this doesn't seem adequate.

Greetings! I am and avid fish lover, not necessarily fish keeper- the budget/space is not too available at the moment. I have a 3g and decent sized bowl, which will be upgraded, with two betta fish, Rex and Otis. :smile:Otis is the old one with the 3g and is a purple and red veiltail...
