So. I've got a 55 gallon that I'm relocating the tetras currently in my 20 gallon-high to. I'm really tempted though to try out a blackwater set up with the old 20 gallon, as I've had it cycled for 7 years now and it seems a shame to take it down. It would just be driftwood, sand substrate, leaf...

So I haven't used this account since 2011, since I was a teenager posting about my very first tank which my mom finally let me buy after much begging and a speech about responsibility... 7 years of education and several jobs later, I still have that same 20g high running now with 9 serpae tetra...

Hi, so I'm going on a month long vacation and can't get anyone to take care of my bettas for me. They are two males living in a divided 10 and I've decided the best thing seems to be to ship my extra filter with the cycled media, heater, fish food, and divider along with my fish by usps express...

So I've recently fallen in love with the look of floating plants with thick root systems; ones like red root floaters, salvinia, water lettuce etc., and am looking for a decent starter portion for a low light 10 gallon betta tank. Anybody have any they'd be willing to sell? Also, like everyone...

I have two male bettas i got about a week ago from Petco in a divided 10 gallon. This morning when I left they were active and fast eaters no spots, tonight I came back to my room to find at least one has ich. He has several tiny white spots and is lethargic swiming and floating vertical...

I recently got some corckscrew vallisneria and after a few days their leaves have started to turn a transparent, pale brown. It spreads from the bottom of the leaves up to the tip. They are planted in sand with a T8 15 watt full spectrum light and I've used tetra florapride liquid fertilizer. I...

So, I've had my new ten gallon tank running for a three weeks, fishless cycle with straight ammonia. The ammonia is dropping 2 to 0 ppm in 24 hours, nitrites/ates not so much, but i read about "silent cycling" and went ahead and got plants. If it throws everthing off I'll just wait longer for...

Looking for some low light plants for my 10 gallon, specifically some background plants and midground plants. Something like wisteria, anacharis, or vallisneria and some crypts maybe??? The substrate is sand, lighting is a 15 watt t8 full spectrum light that came with the tank, and I have tetra...

I'm trying to cycle my 10 gallon in a fishless cycle but I'm having some issues. I used pure ammonia from the grocery store, unscented etc, and the ammonia went from about 8ppm and dropped and is now going from about 6 ppm to 0 in about two days. However the nitrite, which is now so high my test...

Hey, so I've set up a 10 gallon aquarium that is reaching the homestretch on a fishless cycle and I'm debating what types of fish I plan to get. I know I want to get about 8 dwarf cory cats, either pygmaeus or habrosus, but I'm debating on what other tanks mates would be good. I'm considering...

Hi, so I am trying to start a new fish tank and to do everything right to give my future plants and fish a good home. I have a 10 gallon with an fluval aquaclear 20 filter. The light says it is 15 Watt full spectrum and I have a heater which is keeping the tank at 74F max. I have black sand...

My tank has been set up for a few months now but my water has started to get foggy all of a sudden. The ph is 7 and the nitrites is 0ppm and the nitrates is 30 ppm and the amonia is 0ppm. i used a liquid api test for the amonia and ph and api test strips for the nitrites/nitrates (since i can't...

the sick fish is an Emerald cory cat a little less than 1 inch it has 2 white/clear blister like bubbles in the center of fore head about the size of a pin head, torn fin on top,and breathes much faster than the other fish before I changed the water the tank tested nitrates=20ppm...

I have a 2O gal tank with pretty good air circulation that has been cycled for about a month now. I currently have 8 cory cats, 4 albino and 4 emerald. I really want to get some pristella tetras and lamp eye tetras ( sorry if I misspelled anything) but I'm not sure if my tank would be good or...

Right now i have 3 albino cory cats that are about an inch each in my tank. Previously I had 2 shubunkin also but they passed away when my old tank ( which was also 20gal) broke.:( I would like to get another goldfish, maybe a fantail, or another pretty and hardy fish to go with my little cory...
