I came across this link when I was on Facebook and thought you guys would enjoy reading: World's smallest aquarium holds just two teaspoons of water - Telegraph Not sure much extra info on it, but its shocked me!

My favorite fish, Marly (my avatar pic), has gotten dropsy. I'm not sure the exact date. I was gone up to my cousins on Monday to Wednesday and at some point he developed it. At first, he looked like he was very bloated, but its definitely dropsy now. No one was watching him, since it was only...

I picked up these LED submersible light balls a few months ago since I had a coupon and had nothing else to get (compulsive buyer, right here). They are meant for wedding floral arrangements and such, but they work for aqaurium use too. I'm not 100% comfortable about putting them inside of the...

First off, not really sure what the plural of "badis" would be, probably badises, but that doesn't really look right. Anyways... I have one scarlett badis in my Fluval Chi and he is doing great. No issues whatsoever. Originally had sparkling gouramis with him, but a species-virus knocked them...

I'm putting together a list of bad fish advice or rumors or whatever you want to call them for the Facebook thing I'm doing. I was wondering if people want to help me out with the list. Anything from the general ones or the crazy things employees have told you or awful online advice. Just tell...

I got to thinking a couple hours ago about this idea that may or may not seem worth it, so I'd like some opinions. I'm still at the drawing board, so any input at all would be great! I was thinking that once a week or so, I would post on my Facebook some fish rumor, like goldfish living...

So, last night, my three males started doing their calling. It was about midnight to around 4:30 am and got progressively louder. Today was the first day back at college from spring break and I basically got no sleep... I'm going to go set their tank up in the living room or give them to my...

This is simply out of curiosity, but do people have pet squids? One of my friends just asked me about it as kind of a joke and it got me thinking. I have heard of cuttlefish and octopuses being kept as pets, but never squid. I would imagine it would be very difficult and expensive. I only...

There is a shop near me that has on display the owner's giant gourami. He or she is like two feet long (maybe more) and has got to be years old. I am beyond envious. I wish I have been in this hobby long enough to already have had a fish for years, but I hope the ones I have stick around for a...

My baby betta has been growing so fast and she looks like she is going to soon outgrow her 0.5mm pellets. My question is, should I mix some of the larger on with her smaller ones to make the transition easier? I know that bettas are not very picky, but I've really been spoiling this girl (she...

Premier Aquatics (formerly Marine Fish) moved to a new spot off of Roswell Road and I have to say they are awesome. My boyfriend and I went in a few weeks ago and I completely forgot that I should probably put up a thread about them. I received probably the best service at a fish store that I...

Today was my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary, so we spent it going around to fish shops and getting ready for the reptiles I'm getting tomorrow at Repticon. And, he bought me two panda garras, some gorgeous horned nerites, and a microscopic sparkling gourami. So... here are some...

Finally got a banjo catfish and honestly, I am beyond excited. So... This is Merlin: He is about two inches long and I was pretty happy to find him for $5. The only other place I have ever seen them have been another local shop, a little bigger, and for $12. Anyway, I have frozen bloodworms...

Just got my first Chi yesterday. It's a great looking tank, but one of my concerns is the odd filter cartridges. In all of the rest of my tanks, whenever they do need to be replaced, I just cut out the size I need from the blue/white filter floss pads. I'm getting this feeling that Chi isn't...

So, my boyfriend finally got me my birthday and Christmas gifts yesterday! He works in North Dakota for months, so he just recently got back. Anyway, he bought me a Fluval Chi for my sunshine plakat and in the box was this Nurtafin Cycle stuff. Since I cannot seed the filter in the Chi, I'm just...

Went to get some stuff for classes today and found the cutest flash drive EVER!!! I know it's a clown fish, but oh my god a fish flash drive? I'm going to look like such a dork in quant analysis lab, but I don't care. So, anyone else have super cute fish stuff? Or am I the only weird-o?:fish1:

Yesterday, one of the pipes burst somewhere for my apartment complex. The water was shut off for a few hours and then turned back on (I was never informed of this since I was out most of the day). Anyway, I'm about to make pasta and the water coming out of the tap is cloudy white and eventually...

Not sure if this is where to post this. If it's in the wrong spot, I'm really sorry! I had the idea that maybe there should be a "Betta Discussion" Section opened up under Freshwater/Brackish. I think there are enough members on here with them and plenty of threads opened up everyday over them...

Wizard has almost always been a white with blush on him and I've had him for almost a year now. But, in the last week or so, he has been staying perfect white. I know their colors can change for any number of reasons. His parameters are solid and there has been no great change other than I am...

So, just doing my regular eleven o'clock Friday night PWC and unplugged my filters on my 55g. After I was done, plugged them back in and one won't turn on. No hum, no crackle, nothing. Just dead. So frustrating! I have recently spent all of my extra cash on these on a crested gecko and a...

I have a giant lump of this stuff in my 55g that, honestly, I have let grow a bit out of control. It was originally three separate plants, but it has all kind of grown together. I cannot remove just one plant. Can I just cut the stems and put them into a different tank? I don't have any other...

So, I'm on vacation in New Orleans and of course I hot up my favorite fish shop down here. And lo and behold, they have a red wolffish. This is a fish I have been dieing to get my hands on and no shop around me could get it in. I don't do internet shopping, so I have up basically. Anyway, I...

Petco had a sale on their baby bettas. So, I fell in love and bought one. Also, they had their betta condos on clearance and had to grab one of those too. It's not a permanent home for this little guy, but until he grows up a little more, this will be home. I went back to my love of ugly and...

First off, I am very new to LED lighting or lighting in general, so bare with me here. I saw the commercial for LED Lights, Bulbs & Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS So, could these be used on an aquarium? Like, a 12 inch waterproof light? They are like $20 on here, which is crazy cheap! I was...

I have finally started working more on my riparium. So, the silicon I chose is white and very obviously silicon between the rocks for the rock wall around the filter (a mock waterfall). Are there any paints or markers that I could use that are aquarium-safe? They will most definitely be in...
