I just bought a Betta a few days ago to replace one that died in my planted 15G tank. Well he turned out to be extremely aggressive to my other fish so I ended up buying a cheap 5 gallon for him and now am looking for a replacement. Instead of going with another Betta I was thinking a Honey...

So I bought the equipment for a baking soda and citrus acid CO2 system for my tank but having some issues getting up to pressure. I think it may because I went and bought two bottles of cheap dollar store cola to use and then found out that they are actual 2.5 liters apiece. Could the extra 1...

As the title suggests what is the correct size of tubing for the included pump? I want to replace the one that it came with as its a little too short and I cant properly stick the pump to the bottom of the tank.

So as I was looking at my tank tonight I noticed a few small snails, as the only snail in there is a Nerite i literally bought today I assume they came in on the plants. Are these also Nerites by chance or something else?

I replaced my 10 Gallon Standard All Glass Aquarium with a new tank but I planned on using the 10 gal just for a planted tank with no fish (unless there's an emergency) however the silicone needs to be replaced. While taking off the silicone though the top plastic trim was lose and bottom piece...

So I recently upgraded to a nice planted Fluval Flux 15 gallon. Right now it has 4 Cory (I've had for years) and a Betta I felt bad for him so I impulsed bought him. I was thinking of going the typical Neon or other Tetra route with him but got to thinking about doing a Sorority of Female...

I have a old All Glass 10 Gallon that the silicone on the inside needs to be replaced but I'm not really sure what type of silicone to use. Do I need some sort of special high strength structural stuff or an I just use GE Silicone 1?

So I love the Flex and the light is pretty good for what it is but am disappointed in the automation. I bought the Fluval LED timer and was sad to see that although good it's just a fancy dimmer that cannot activate moon lighting. This is really unfortunate since even at 2% the white light is...

So I ordered a couple plants (Micro Sword) online and they came in a pot with a paper/cotton like material. Do I remove this stuff or plant it along with it?

I recently redid my aquarium and have a nice rock slide. I thought my stack job was pretty good however a few rocks are a bit more unstable then I feel comfortable with especially given the fact my cories like to hide in them. Is there a good underwater adhesive I can use to just lightly secure...

So I'm about to redo my tank with live plants and want to redo the decor as well. I'm thinking some round stones in a rock slide configuration. Anyway I know Muriatic acid is one way to test to check if stones are safe but also read that I can use Nitrate Test Bottle #1 from my API Test Kit as...

As the title says is JB Clearweld or any epoxy aquarium safe once cured? According to their website they list it as non toxic once fully cured.

Would 7 Neon Tetras, 1 Betta, 3 ghost shrimp and 1 Netrie Snail be alright for a non-planted 10 gallon. I know the Betta may attack the shrimp but I want to test if then I could eventually replace the Ghosts with more expensive RCS. I may add some easy non CO2 potted plants (have a sand...

So I have a 10 gallon tank and was curious if a Betta, 4-6 Fancy guppies and a African Dwarf Frog/Snail/or a few Ghost Shrimps would be a good combo. Or would there be a better combination of colorful simple to care for and hardy fish? I have a sand substrate and was thinking about putting...

Right now I have a simple 10 Gallon All Glass aquarium. Id like to bump up to a 15 or 20 gallon but my issue is that it needs to be square with dimensions about 15x15 or roughly so for the table Im using (Ikea BEKVÄM). Where would be the best place to find something like this for a reasonable...

So when i was cleaning my little 10 Gallon I ran across a couple babies from my Panda and Juli. What should I be feeding them, I have no experience with breeding. I've been just throwing in some freeze dried tubifex, API bottom feeder shrimp pellets and some Hikari Wafers and hoping they can...

I recently downgraded from my 30 gallon to a 10 gallon taking the last two living fish in there (2 cories) as the others all have died from old age or disease. The cories are doing great in the 10 gallon, in fact are more active and energetic and love the sand substrate. My question is what...

So for some reason my 10gal tank always has algae issues. For as long as I had the tank I have always had a issue with algae in it for some reason. I recently redid it since the Betta that was in there died and redid the substrate with sand this time. Anyway the levels are all good but there...

I was changing my water today and noticed one of my danios has a red ring around his body about halfway down his body, under the ring between it and his tail it is slightly discolored and he seems to have trouble swimming. Im afraid i might have crushed him with the gravel vac although I don't...

So I'm breaking and splitting some slate for my aquarium and noticed when I split a sheet to make several thinner sheets there is a gold/bronze color in between the layers of rock. What is this and is it something I should worry about or scrub off or something?

Now that its summer is it alright to the fish if my tanks go up to 81ish during the day and back down to there normal 78-79 at night? In one tank there are just some Tetras and a Pleco, in the other there are some Danios, Snails, Cories and Praecox Rainbow. And then in a small 10 gallon there...

Is Plexi safe to use in aquariums? I cut a rectangular piece with a hole in it to slide over the intake tube of a AC filter to help break the down current that kept digging holes in my sand and just need to know if its safe to use. I washed the Plexi off under some hot water to get rid of any...

I was just curious if anyone in the Cleveland region that gets Lake Erie water knows what sort of parameters the water is as far as hardness goes. Ive never really bothered with it since I always figured being lake water it was towards the soft/medium range. I forgot to buy a hardness tester...

I recently redid my 10g with sand and here's the end result, no fish yet. Plan on putting a Betta, couple of shrimp and I want some kind of bottom fish that will help stir the sand a bit. Any suggestions on what would be good for 10G?

So my parents work as a place that has a slate roof and collected quite a bit for me that from pieces that have fallen off the roof or from pieces that were replaced. My question is, is all slate safe, or has roofing slate been treated or put through some sort of special process and should be...
