Hey Forum, So in my community tank, I have had quite a long journey with my fish and thinking of adding some Ghost Shrimp to the party. I want to first make note on what's inside, thier size, age, and their behaviours: 1 Bala Shark: (6 Inches, 2.5 years old, very shy and passive bot-dweller)...

Yo, I stocked my 20g with 5 tetras, 3 cherry barbs, and 3 cories, living quite peacefully together. I recently got gifted a 2.5g hexagonal tank and I figure I throw in a Betta - there's no room for a heater or a filter. My Betta has been living in there for 2 days and 2 nights. Then I decide...

I have a 78g tank and it's only half-full at the moment. I'm afraid of filling it any higher than that because it's sitting on my drawer and I fear the drawer might break apart and spill all over my room. It's an old drawer but I'm confident it can hold up to 300 lbs. I don't think it can last...

Hey, I got 2 Bala Sharks - both been alive for about.. 2 months? Anyway, they're currently about 2.5" and living in a 25g tank. I have a 78g that i intend to put them into, but I want to wait until the point where they're too big for my 25g. That way I can save up on some electricty bills and...

Don't know if this has been asked before, but it's late and I need to sleep and I don't have much time to browse. If I buy sand for substrate instead of gravel, will my cories suck some of it up into their stomachs? They seem to suck everything as it is in my gravel tank Thanks. Ps - How...

So, I got myself some slightly yellowish-brown water and I think it's the driftwood. I didn't expect it to do anything but after looking around I noticed people saying it should be soaked ahead of time for about a week. Should I take it out of my tank and soak it in water and then put it...

I know two Rainbows Sharks put together will fight until one dies, but what if I got lots of Rainbows? I heard the agression is spread out so they actually don't fight too often. I sold my 30g, bought a 78g. How many Rainbows do you think I can have in there if they can be socially accpetable...

So say I buy 10 Ghost Shrimps for my 10g and just throw them in there. Would they eventually breed without me having to do anything? I don't plan on having any fish in this tank except maybe a Betta. I don't have the Betta yet so I don't think there'll be a shrimp eating problem.

Hi, I'm looking for a good community bottom-feeder so I don't have to worry about the fish food accumulating and getting dirty. I use to have a Rainbow Shark but then I got a new tank and seperated my semi-agressive and community fish into 2 different tanks. It's too bad my community has...

Basically, my Danios eat all the food before any other fish can have some. How do I know my other fish aren't going to be malnutricious and what can I do to ensure they all get their vitamins and etc. Thanks

Hello, I'm still quite new to having aquariums although I've set up a decent 30g tank for almost a month now. I'm pratically addicted to housing fishes as pets and decieded on a 200-300 gallon, though probably 250g built-in aquarium in my master bedroom. It's going to be 85" x 40" and 20" high...

I don't have a camera but they're basically transparent with red tails. They're about 1" right now and was told by the lfs owner that they grow up to 2". That's about all I know about them. They're very cool looking, similar to the glass catfish in astonishment. Does anyone else have anything...

Say, would it matter really what order you buy your fish in? Maybe some territorial fish might spaz at newcomers, so buy the territorial guys last. Just a thought and need some opinions on that subject. I also want to know if fish sleep. Before I go to bed I feed my Zebra Danios and they're...

So I have a 30g tank atm. I have one male Betta and 6 Zebra Danios. I plan on getting 2 Balas and after a while, I'll add a Rainbow Shark. Sounds alright for now... I think that's a nice, good, community but my friend has a Cichlid he needs me to take care of. He said he'll be heading down to...

Bwahaha, I'm kind of happy, recently ordered a 30g tank, finally got a decent price. However, it looks a little dirty, I've heard that you shouldn't use soap and water but rather vinegar. I kind of need an elaboration of that suggestion like how much vinegar, or just using vinegar and no...

I've been thinking for a while now and still don't know the right answer. Whether to get real plants or fake. I don't know the benefits of real plants but I'm pretty sure I won't need to be taking any extra measures with fake plants. I'm planning on getting a 30 gallon tank but currently using...

Hello everyone, I just joined AA and I think I need some help. Yesturday I bought a 5 Gallon tank and a male Betta fish with a filter, light, decorations, etc. for about $100 CDN. I have relatively long questions so please bear with me, I am concerned about the following: 1. I used tap water...
