I found my koi angel belly-up this morning tangled in the guppy grass I've got growing in one corner of my tank :(. However, I gave him a proper burial at sea and am contemplating new occupants. Thoughts/suggestions? My tank is a 25 gallon tall with half the tank filled with plant growth...

I'm a tropical community fish person myself - born and raised that way, so to speak, yet I hear left and right that cichlids are addicting, as are several other types of setups. I have no idea what any of the other disciplines are like, so what are your thoughts? The reason I ask is I've been...

I got my hands on a handful of hornwort (ceratophyllum demersum), and over the course of a month it's turned into three or four handfuls. It's also started to put down roots. How should I go about managing this stuff? I've never needed to prune, which is half my problem, as I'm completely...

I've got a 5 lb CO2 bottle and a regulator with a 1/4" inside diameter needle valve and equivalent tubing that runs to a keg tap, and I want to convert the system over to my aquarium. I already have the airline tubing, reactor, and power head necessary to facilitate the set-up, but I have some...

I'm getting tiny little snails in my tank. Pretty sure they came in with one of the plants I just introduced to the tank. I've been looking for them and killing them when I find them for the past week. I've heard dosing the tank with copper will kill them, but it will also kill my Nerite...

Included a pic of the tank, thoughts on a good color/pattern backdrop?

I've got a pretty heavily planted tank (2 crypts, tiger lotus, 2 swords, anubias, and mossy log), and I've got a CO2 system that I've been running for awhile, but truth be told I really don't know what I'm doing. Previously I was using a KH/pH comparison to get an idea of how much CO2 was in my...

I'm new to the forum world, but I've been running fish tanks (without proper knowledge, 90% of the time) for close on 10 years now. Started out with a 20 gal long that was the family tank that my parents left to me to manage, then moving out to college I bought my own 10 gal setup, and just...

Hey guys, I had a green water problem and upon recommendation from my aquarium store I bought a UV filter at $60 from PetsMart (the aquarium store's lowest buy was $130), which was rated at <50 gal. Ran the filter for ~4 days and my water's crystal clear now. My question is - should I keep it...

Hey all, I've got ~6 cherry shrimp (near impossible to do a head count with those guys), and I've noticed little baby shrimps cruising around. I knew breeding would be on the agenda when getting the cherries. Any advice on population control? I've got a larger shrimp (not sure the variety), a...

Hey everyone, just signed up, getting on here to learn a few things, and maybe learn some things I didn't even know about. First off, I have a 25gal planted setup. Here's a list of what I'm here to learn about: How to work better with CO2 levels, build a DIY reactor, and manipulate KH Proper...
