I last week for my birthday I got a 135 gallon tank. I have other tanks one used with pool sand and the other with play sand. I used decided to use the play sand in this tank Because I thought it looked better, although it is a lot finer. On Tuesday I rinsed the sand and put it in the tank...

The only problem with this is I already have two 2.5 gallon tanks in my room so there's not much room to keep another one. If I put a plastic breeder/fry net will they be able to go through the holes?

I have one coral shrimp with four peppermint shrimp. Recently the peppermints have all stayed on the filter up high and I was wondering if it was because they were trying to stay away from the coral shrimp. What kind of damage can these guys do? Do they eat Shrimp, fish and coral?

I have a puffer that I feed snails which I keep in a glass jar. The problem is that when I open the glass jar it stinks very bad, the water is gross, and I can't reach the bottom to get snails out. Does anyone have something else they keep feeder snails in? I don't want to keep them in the...

So it's fine it will start growing?

So my zoa dropped a polyp and I was wondering is it still alive if I put it in a crevice in live rock will it attach itself to the rock?

So I just got a 55 gallon with a bunch of tetras cories and 2 ram cichlids. I've been wanted a puffer for a little separate tank since my last green spotted tank ate all the tiger barbs in my 10th gallon. Would a pea puffer be okay to put in the 55? I heard they might nip at fish or cory. Thanks

i love the little walrus. Wherever did you find it?

Wow looks cool. I just tore it open a bit and sat it on some drift wood. Thanks

We have a pond snail so its not a mystery snail =] We could go and buy a mystery snail at petsmart tho! :D

I have one moss ball in my betta tank. I am moving it to my new 55g and was hoping to cut it to make another or to make a carpet/attach it to a log or rocks. How would I do this? If I cut it down the middle I heard there is a sac type thing inside. If I cut that would I be killing it or is that...

Well I had to flush my fish =[ the scales started to pop out and mouth rot started. How do I help my water???

I have three von Rio tetras in my tank. Recently one became very big and round. I thought it was pregnant but now I noticed that it is losing its stripes and red color. It's mouth is also a little rotted. I've had mouth rots before on bloodfin tetras from high nitrates and nitrites and treated...

This just happened to me too. I'm not sure what it is though but it looks like it could maybe be a parasite or something. Hopefully someone will answer!

Okay Doesn't sound too hard. Thanks a lot!

I'm starting a new 55 gallon and am in the process of putting play sand in the bottom. If I go ahead anf start the filter will the sand go up into and get caught on the cartridge? Or will it help cycle better? Or should I just wait until I'm done putting the sand in and let it sink to the bottom...

Now that you mention it, how hard is it to keep a brash water tank? I have a shelf for them and drift wood for them to get to it. I was hoping to keep the crabs in the 10 gallon by themselves where they can be kept in brakish water, but my mom says its a lot of work. I know they shouldn't be...

Great thanks a lot

Okay thanks. What do you use as bait?

The pet store by my house also has horse faced loaches. I just read that clown loaches get very big and should be kept in bigger than a 55 gallon. Do horse loaches need to be kept in schools? And I know they like to be kept in sand. My 10 gallon is gravel but the 55 is sand. Will they be okay in...

So I made the mistake of getting pond snails for my 10 gallon. I got about three and now I have hundreds! Its impossible to get rid of them all so I want to buy a clown loach. How long do they get? I am upgrading my tank to a 55 gallon very soon (I already have the tank but I wont put my fish in...

oh mine seems pretty fine. I think Ill go and get some pool filter sand, I'd hate to have a cloudy tank. Thank you

Does play sand work instead of sand for pools. I bought it at home depot. If so, do you have to rinse it before putting it in the tank like you would with gravel?

Do you need to clean the sand before you put it in? Like rinsing gravel

Then how would I seperate the eggs from the fish? The person at the pet store said I could put a lot of plants for the fry to hide in, but I know that the fish will eat the eggs. I dont have a seperate tank to put them in, then take out the fish, so do I just let them eat the eggs? Also, how do...
