I used to have several tanks and was very active on here but that was about 4 years ago. I had discus and I miss them. I want to get a tank again but this time it would have to be small. Probably less than 40. Maybe a 36 bow? I need some inspiration. Let me see your 15-40 gal tanks and give me...

So this may be a dumb question, but I've read a lot of posts that talk about glutaraldehyde, but I'm confused about what it is, where you get it, and how you use it.

Well, things were crazy over here and I was gone for 3 months. My parents couldn't take care of the tanks so one of them got taken apart and two are just kinda... Sitting. Anyway, I now have 3 tanks that I'm gonna start over on. A 5g, 36g bow front, and a 55g. All were previously freshwater...

My discus has a scale problem. Ugh. At first it looked like anchor worms but nothing is protruding anymore so maybe a fungus?

My art teacher gave me a large piece of driftwood and it has a few charred spots on it. Is it usable the way it is, should I try to sand it off? Or can I even use it?

Ok I have a 5 gallon tank and I was thinking maybe a dwarf puffer would be good in that tank..? Correct me if I'm wrong though, please. Do I have any other options? And is the dwarf puffer really freshwater? I'd like to know of any fresh or brackish water puffers that would be compatible with a...

I have a black skirt tetra showing tail rot. What kind of medicine am I supposed to use? My lfs has several different ones marked for fin and tail rot- furan-2, triple sulfa, tetracycline, maracyn and maracyn 2, and "fungus cure" so confused!

My brand new flame gourami is laying on his side on the bottom of the tank breathing quickly. What is wrong? Is there anything I can do?

There's no more algae left in my tank. What are my nerite snaiks going to eat?

My American government teacher was talking about how she had 4 goldfish in her 5 gallon tank, and of course I had a conniption and now I have a free 5 gallon tank! Yay me! :D I'm planning on heavily planting it and having shrimp and maybe snails in there. So here are my questions, since I have...

I ordered some Congo tetras from my lfs and when I went to buy them, they were pretty white. I figured it was from stress from shipping and then being moved to my tank, but then I saw something about albino Congo tetras and I'm afraid my lfs ordered the wrong fish. They've been in my tank for...

I recently had the connector assembly break on my marina aqua-vac, so I'm looking to just buy a whole new one instead of getting a new part lol. So what do you guys recommend? I found an aqueon water changer, 25 feet, for $24 on Amazon.

Just a few pics of my new-ish 36 gallon bowfront tank. Here's the gbr pair (I think they might both be females... :/ ...) Here's my rummynose and Congo tetras hiding behind a plant Full tank shots And just a couple shots of my nerite snails, tiretrack and zebra respectively

I'm afraid I might be in for a snail problem. This is the only one I've seen so far but I'm not 100% sure what kind it is.

So I told convict that I'd go salt if he went planted. He said he's been thinking of going planted so I guess I'd better get ready to go salt lol. The first problem is that I can't actually do it until I get my own place. That could be a good while. But I thought I might as well go ahead and...

I'm getting really frustrated here. I've been fishless cycling my 36 gallon for just over two months now. I added seeded media and it didn't even help! How?? Why is it taking so long?! I want fish :( :banghead:

Lol those of you that know me had to have seen this coming ;) I wanna talk about zombies! Know any good zombie literature? Have a plan for Z-day? How about zombie movies I should watch? Any avid fans of The Walking Dead? If it has to do with the undead, I wanna hear it :P

So I just bought four nerite snails. One of them I'm not sure is alive, I guess we'll see. But anyway I just read that having them with co2, which causes a low ph, will dissolve their shells. So is there a way I can add calcium in somehow so that doesn't happen? I read online that I can put...

I just got a bunch of plants for my tank today. Here's a pic. I'm gunna take some pics of a few that I'm not sure were labled right in just a minute.

Just like the title says, my ammonia test is a dark blue. Wth?

Ok, so my tank is fnally almost finished cycling. Its supposed to be a 36 bowfront but when i put in the actual measurements online, its like 42 gallons. Anyways, I used aqadvisor (just as a guideline) and made up two different scenarios. ill post the pics, and you guys tell me what you think...

so, i was just wondering, what kind of woods are safe in my aquarium? Could i just walk around the woods in my house and find a piece, or down by the river? I live in Joplin, Missouri if that helps. we have a lot of oak trees and maple and elm and whatnot. cherry trees, bradford pear, sycamore...

My discus has a large nasty sore on his side. Help! P.s. I know he's stunted looking, he was a rescue x.x

I just realized one of my discus is having a bad swim bladder problem x.x he's completely upside down most of the time and really bloated.. my dads going to be extremely mad and blame this on me so if there's anything I can do please let me know :banghead:

Ok so I just got a new tank which is almost finished cycling, and I'd like to get snails. I really like zebra nerites and had my mind made up about them because they don't breed in fw. But then I was reading and realized they don't dig into the sand bed which I was kinda looking for. The problem...
