what does a GBR stand for?

I was just wondering out of curiosity what can be the biggest fish you have in a 20 gal tank living in solitude

how exactly do they mate then?

I have recently gotten kribs from my LFS and I am almost certain one of the females is pregnant. She's been hiding in my ship decor and everytime i see her, she has a really big pink belly. My only option right now, to keep the babies safe from the gouramis that i've had before hand. I bought a...

I know but I have two Gouramies that is like 10x the size of a baby cichlid. I'd just rather be safe than sorry. And yeah, I do find that fascinating. I was watching Planet Earth, the documentary, and it was a part where they showed Lake Malawi and how it is full of cichlids and it was just...

Well right now it seems like their dominating the bottom portion of the aquarium and the gouramis are roaming around the top. How big do baby cichlids first appear to be? cause i plan on seeing if i can buy a breeder net today just in case it does happen.

ill see if i can get a breeder net today... I always wanted to take care of little fishes. I think one of the primary purpose why I wanted Fish in the first place is to exercise my responsibilities and time management. :) I just tested it. It seems like the yellow shade is around 0-0.25... The...

Maybe I can keep both filters as an option as well. I'm going to test my ammonia levels right after this. If it's going to be a slightly green in colour, am I suppose to instantly do a water change? I'm also concerned about the recent 'kribs' that I got, I am almost certain one of the females...

I just make sure I feed my fish once a day or twice even. I do believe I may be overfeeding them. I recently bought TetraMinPro flakes and if there is some sort of rule of thumb about feeding, that'd be great to know. I don't want to completely doubt my LFS but I think I know enough to have...

I know, but the thing is, everyone is emphasizing on my ammonia levels, when I HAVE an API Ammonia Test Kit to test my ammonia levels, and right now, it's safe.

As I have said, I don't have the master kit, but I do have the Ammonia test kit. My Ammonia levels are fine, the results always show up yellow and never anything close to green. Side discussion: I'm well aware that buying new fish was a wrong move on my part. But I couldn't help but pass up the...

well a lot of the times, my fish start to die out a good month and a half later. I am however, a victim of those newbie pitfalls, because I started off my tank without proper cycling with swordtails and guppies. The swordtails ended up surviving longer than the guppies. Side note: I've...

@Librarygirl 1. Now that I think about it, I may have come too paranoid at one point. I believe it was a time where one of my swordtails started growing unusually large like a balloon, and another of the swordtails started getting a fungus infection on one of their eyes. So I bought aquarium...

The best advice I was given about aquariums in particular is "You never know what'll happen." I've been having this mindset throughout my almost 3 years of having my aquarium. But the problem still persists... my fish keep dying. dozens of fishes who, in my hands, met their fate way too soon...

i'd do a water change, and if u see fins in your siphon while cleaning, condolences bro.

i ment like dwarf gouramis the size of bettas and also my cousin has a betta and he's had it for probaby 2 months now, and it seems fine, it actually looks much more healtheir ever since it was bought

Out of curiosity, and lust for knowledge. Since both Gourami and Bettas belong in the same family of fish. Can you treat Gouramis the same as Bettas? To be more specific, Can you take care of Gouramis like you would to Bettas? (small Bowl, no filtration, no heater) Since these species have...

Most of the time i tend to underestimate the lives of fish, cause the cliche of it is that they die pretty quickly and you flush em in the toilet(to be more specific, goldfishes ) But i do believe this in a certain extent, but if it's fact that the certain fish you have will truly grow, then...

well for the mean time, i believe they seem fine in a 20 gal. Though it might be pushing their limit, i think they can handle, as far as I know, anything can happen in a year, and I do plan on getting a bigger tank in the future. they seem to just zip by my guppies without even harming them, i...

Hey guys, :n00b: I've had two zebra loaches for a close to a month now, and I am wondering if it is normal that loaches or in my case, zebra loaches tend to hide alot. These guys are a wonderful and beautiful specie, and I can't say its getting annoying, but I really want them to expose...

my bushynose pleco doesn't eat the algae build up on my aquarium ><... i have an MTS community waiting to grow at the bottom of my aquarium soo i'll let that take it's course ><

which fish in my tank do you think I should get rid off ><

what do you mean by well established tank? expand pweeease!

Agreed... But the problem is... how do I research what to buy, if i don't know whats in stock in my LFS cause I don't think I would get a drive there just to look at wats in stock due to gas prices, and most of their new fish disappear in a week >< . . .

Is there any possible solutions that I can do to avoid another conflict like this?
