Hello all, I'm wondering what else, if anything at all, I can put in my 10g tank? I have six Neon Tetras, one Dwarf Gourami, and one Zebra Nerite Snail. I have a pretty heavily planted tank and the temperature stays around 78 consistently. I'm thinking my options are probably limited to a...

So I had a small attack of internal parasites in my established 10g tank lately. I don't know the parameters, I left my test kit at school. It took down two of my platies over the past few weeks and I'm worried about my current one that's sick. he's thinning out and has been spending a lot of...

Hi all. Just posted this on TPT but I figured I'd post here for those who aren't on there. Here's my current 10g, low-tech tank. It's a bit of a mess in my opinion. Aquascaping is definitely my weakness and I want to get better! Currently inside of it: 3x driftwood. 2 medium, 1 small. 1x...

10g planted tank. Been up for over a year. the other day I noticed one of my platies was sick, super skinny. I figured it was wasting disease/worms. By the time I got the medicine in (Tetra Parasite Guard), it was too late. I found him curved around the filter intake breathing heavy the next...

Howdy! I have a relatively heavily planted (so I'm not too afraid of slightly overstocking) 10g tank that I've had for a little over a year now. Over the past few months I've lost some fish to old age/disease (which has been taken care of) and now I'm considering replacing some fish! The only...

Today I was looking at my fish tank and I noticed one of my platies was on the floor of my aquarium, stationary. Eventually he started to swim around and looked like he was struggling a little bit. Then I noticed he looked quite sick! He was always a bit smaller, but now he looks awful! He is...

Hey all, in the past two days I've lost two ghost shrimp and two of my others aren't looking too healthy either. I haven't really changed much to my tank aside from adding real plants. I dose CO2 each day and I use API LeafZone once a week with my PWCs. Is the LeafZone causing them to die off or...

Hello everyone, I woke up this morning to find my betta fish had died and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any options I had for replacing him? 7 neon tetras 7 ghost shrimp 1 zebra nerite snail 2 male sunburst platies Thanks for the help! Aqadvisor says I'm at 99% stocking rate...

Hello, Currently my betta fish is acting very odd. He's laying on the bottom of my tank with his fins clamped down, just breathing. Some of his fins look to be slightly twisted, and another part look to be losing color--they have a silvery look to them. I also found him hiding in a small house...

Quick question-- With a planted tank, am I able to keep more fish than a non planted tank due to the natural filtration of fish wastes? I figure more fish would actually help the plants grow more, right? Essentially I'd like to add either a few more neons or maybe an otto or three?

Hi all, here's my relatively new planted tank and I'm looking for some suggestions to fill it out a little. Im planning on replacing that micro sword with some dwarf hair grass when I can, the micro sword I got from my LFS isn't doing to well. I'm particularly interested in a plant to put in...

I just bought myself some anubias nana over the weekend from PetSmart and tied them to rocks/driftwood with fishing line. The roots on the one on the rock look to be yellowing. The rhizome is exposed but might be shaded by some leaves from my lily which exploded. I have a 6500k light and dosed...

Hi all, I just bought some java fern, anubias, and amazon swords from petsmart. Is there anything I need to do to clean them or prepare to put them in my tank? And I hear about tying them down, can't I just bury the roots in the sand? Thanks

Here's a picture of my 10g semi-planted tank. I'm looking to go totally planted when I get more money and replace the few silk plants in there, hopefully with something other than the PetSmart plant bulbs that are growing in there as you can see. I have three onions, one aponogeton, and one...

Hi everyone! I've been looking at a lot of planted tanks lately and I really want to get into it. Currently I have some Top Fin plant bulbs growing in there but I'd really like to get some other plants. Unfortunately I don't know my exact lightbulb, but I know it's the stock one that came in an...

Hey all, I might be able to upgrade to a 20g high tank from my 10g and I was wondering what else I could put in it / if it'd be worth it. The current set up is: 1x Betta 7x Neon Tetras 6x Ghost Shrimp 1x Apple Snail I really like platys but I don't think I'd be able to add many of them.. I'm...

Hi, My spring break starts next week, from the 3rd to the 11th and I'm wondering if I should bring my fish tank home with me or if I could leave it at school. I have a 10g tank with bettas, neons, and some shrimp and a snail. My fish would be unable to be fed for 8 days and I'm worried they...

I all, I have a bunch of plant bulbs in my aquarium and my ghost shrimp love to nibble on them, an I occasionally see my betta doing the same. Is that going to kill the plants? Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I'm thinking I might want to start planting my 10g tank, however I'm still very new at it. All I have currently is those plant bulbs from PetCo/PetSmart and I'm wondering if those Seachem plant roots would be beneficial for them? I planted the bulbs almost two weeks ago, did a water change...

Hi all, This morning I found one of my neons pale and swimming vertically in a jerking motion. After a little googling I found out he was going to die and so I euthanized him :( I just finished cleaning my fish tank, I scrubbed all the algae off of my fake plants for the first time and now my...

I all, Im wondering if I had room for an Oto in my tank. I hear they ate alright to be kept singularly. It's a 10g tank with the following in it: 1 betta 8 neon tetras 1 apple snail 6-8 ghost shrimp Thanks all!

I've been having a diatom problem for weeks now. I've been trying to rub it off of my silk plants when I do PWC but I either can't get it to come off or it just grows back. It's now growing all over my other aquarium decorations and starting to grow in my gravel and on my aquarium glass. I'm...

Hi all, My 10g tank is at school and I'm going home for Thanksgiving in the next few days. Since I don't want to lug that home for just 5 days, should I buy those feeders? My only concern is that my Betta fish would continue to eat it until he bursts, as all he does whenever I put a wafer in...

Hello all, Recently my 10g tank has exploded with red/brown algae. It's covering almost all of my decorations and has now gotten on to my filter's baffle, which in turn causes little bits of algae to be shot into my aquarium's water. My tank should be cycled, if not at the end of the cycle. My...

I have a cycled 10g tank and I'm wondering if and what else I could add to it. Here's my current stock: - 1 Betta - 4 Neon Tetras (I had 5 but one died the other day mysteriously) - 1 Apple Snail - 2 Ghost Shrimp I'm looking for something colorful and fun. and I'm not opposed to putting in...
