That is such a cute dog! Her ears make me smile!

Have you seen your goldie rubbing up on stuff? Because a bacterial infection is a probable cause. Also, is there anything sharp or jagged in the tank? Ryukins and other "fancy" varieties have those gorgeous little egg-shaped bodies that are a little cumbersome and catch on stuff like that. It...

Hey! This site IS awesome. There are experts here that don't make you feel like an imbecile if you have questions. They've been too cool , and I'm sure they can answer anything you ask in a second or two. I am assuming you have goldies...am I right?!?! (holds breath) They're my absolute...

Oh man, I bet that angel is GORGEOUS! I've never kept the dragon gobies, but they are sure interesting looking little critters. Do you have pics?! ...I'm too addicted to this for it to be healthy...

I love your tank. It's so pretty! I wish I lived in it!

Hehehe, I'm sure a piece of rotting shrimp isn't very pretty. Your tank looks awesome! I'm so excited to see how it goes! Come on tank, cycle! CYCLE!

This is a cool thread. I'd like to keep a knife fish. I read an article about how intelligent they are. Not to mention, I think they're gorgeous. The house I'm living in now simply does NOT have the space needed for a tank big enough. I would also like to try discus one of these days. They're...

Oh man. I have absolutely NOTHING to add, but this will be a cool tank, so I'm tagging along!

Has anyone else ever thought about how weird it is that they sell fish? I mean, it's a grocery store to me. It's like, you go in wanting to buy a head of lettuce and some potato chips, and there are LIVE FISH there! I think it's time for wally world to wave the white flag on this one. They...

Hi there! I don't know much about saltwater either. You would think I'd be an expert as much money as my mother has spent on hers throughout the years. Have you posted in the saltwater part of the forums? I just KNOW there are some experts here that can help you!

Hi there! I have goldfish (my absolute FAVE) and guppies, too! I just woke up after a LONG night - don't even get me started - so I'm not really in a right mind to help much, but here is what I can say: I would separate the guppies, too. I have male guppies together, and there are no problems...

Cool tank. Maybe it's not that your moor is dumb. Maybe it's just confused because they're coldwater fish that require a colder temp than tropicals and a diet consisting primarily of vegetable matter, whereas tropicals need warmer water and more protein.

Does anybody know if the charcoal insides of some internal filters is pure 100 percent activated charcoal?

Wow! 4 stitches! That lil' bugger must have gotten you GOOD! I had to have stitches on my fingers once. I was making pierogies, and used a wine glass to make them perfectly circle - I pressed too hard and BAM! Glass in 3 of my 5 right hand fingers. I just sat there in shock for a minute. The...

Haha I'm an EMT. Jesus! I'm sorry you got bit! Grammas are so cute too! If you start to have trouble breathing or notice any swelling in your mouth/rashes/spots...you could be having a reaction, and you would have to take some diphenhydramine (benadryl or the walmart brand). However, you would...

Ah heck, just paint the background (unless you change your mind often)! It cost me like, $2 to do mine, and turned out awesome! I like the plants. Having real ones in your take livens it up! I just recently put some live ones in my tanks. Love them! Looks good! Keep it up!

Ouch. That's one sick fishy you got. I'm sorry :( Depending on the size of your tank, you can get a cheap heater from walmart for like $15. It will help immensely with your ich problem. Keep a close eye on your water chemistry. Goldfish, although marketed toward children (for some reason...gr!)...

If you give bettas the room to move around, they will use it. Trust me.

Hehehe I've lived in a zoo my entire life...oh my poor mom! We had a snake once (was my sister's) - it got loose one day, and I found it in her dresser. I didn't know what to do. I was terrified of snakes, but my mom was even MORE terrified, so I just grabbed him and put him back in his cage...

Definitely with dkpate on this one. I keep goldfish...they're dirty little things! They need a lot of room for water quality AND quality of life. Mine are in a 55g (US) and swim all day long. They can quickly turn 36L into a swamp - that's just how they are. Don't get me wrong, though. My...

Oooh! I'm happy that you were snap-happy! I love the pic 5 from the bottom. Nice fish!

I like the look of the fluvals too. It'll be awesome! I've been thinking of doing a small reef too. Keep us posted! <3

Hehe yeah, my fish talked to me too. "Take me home, Chelsea!" This is an awesome site. You'll get a lot of good advice here! Have a good day!

I'm sorry your fish died :( I just wanted to say that guppies do tend to live at the top of the tank. It's normal, it's natural. Good luck!

Wow. It would traumatize me for life if I witnessed such disrespect for life at such an early age. I would do a lot of research on fish keeping before buying any more fish. Seriously. Research, research, research. If you're new to aquariums, I would skip goldfish. They're not as easy as once...
