I've got a 10 gallon tank with only 2 female platies as it's inhabitant. I originally had 4, but two died very shortly after I got them. Anywho, the last two have been healthy for months now, but one of the females has been aggressive from the start. She chased and nipped at the others all the...

I guess that is what they are called. Anywho, I have a snail that I have had since it was young and small. It has since more than doubled in size and its antennae have grown as well, of course. However, just a minute ago I noticed they were short. Both of them are really short, and from what I...

Today I got some platies to put in my tank. I was floating the bag, and I came back to check on the fish and I noticed several fry at the bottom. I made sure to get all female platies, so I already realized it was possible that some or all of them might be pregnant, but I didn't expect any of...

I had one single oranda goldfish in my 10 gallon tank, but when I got up yesterday it had died suddenly. I didn't even realize it until I looked over and saw the snail having a snack. 8O Not to sound cold hearted of course, but as sad as it is, there is some good news. Now that I no longer...

My betta is just getting over a bout of Ick, and I decided I should start adding aquarium salt to his tank as per recommendations, to prevent it from happening again. I just added about 1/4 teaspoon, but I don't know if thats too little. How much should I add and how often?

I just got a new betta about a week ago. The other day I noticed a white bump on one of his fins, so I put a drop of quick cure into his tank, which is about 1.5 gal. The next day, the white thing was gone, so I figured I got rid of the Ick quick and easily (newbie mistake perhaps?). Just a...

I went to the pet store today to get a snail for one of my betta tanks, and when the girl scooped water to put in the bag I somehow ended up with what I'm pretty sure are two guppy fry. Right now I have them in one of those betta hexes (I only keep it just in case I might temporarily need it). I...

I have a 5 gallon sitting doing nothing, and a spare HOB filter. I'd just need a hood and light of some kind. I know its small, but I was wondering if anyone had some good fish ideas for it? I'm not too picky, just nothing too exotic as there is only one pet store here and they don't have the...

I just got an African Dwarf Frog on Thursday and added it to my 1.5 Gal betta tank. I was worried about the betta killing it at first since the betta nipped at it a few times. The betta actually tore its skin off yesterday.. well, loose skin that is. I guess it was shedding anyway. Now my...

Well, I figure before I go asking questions I should introduce myself here. I've been lurking around the forums for about a month and a half. While doing a lot of different Google searches on aquarium related things, these forums came up a lot. So before I knew it was coming here to look up...
