I transferred some seeded BB from another tank since the 25th used my prime and tested my params and I'm good to go!!! I got 3 new albino Cory cats a...

Here's the situation I have a 40 gal tank I've had for 6 months. The fish that inhabit the tank are 3 Cory cats, 5 yo-yo loaches, 1 juvie bn pleco, 7 rasboras ,4 swordtails ( had 5 but one died today) and 1 male crown tail betta ( which I just added about a month ago). I'm always having problems...

Anyone on here have any experience with an agressive female swordtail? I have a female that chases all the other female swordtails around the tank! I keep finding dead female swordtails in my tank with holes in them and I think she's attacking them! :-( Everything I've read about them says...

Recently set up my 55g that I got from a yard sale and moved my gold Severum from another 55g to this one and since I moved him he's being very timid and shy ( but still comes out to eat) I think he might be lonely he's just a little guy about 3 inches. I've heard that I should get some dither...

Hello Everyone, about 6 weeks ago I decided to put Sponges in my filters just as extra along with the regular filter media. They're the kind you buy @ the store for household cleaning but without the scrub side, now whenever I open my tank lids it smells like an old dirty dish rag!!!! Should I...

I picked up a used 55g I bought @ a yard sale about 2 - 3 weeks ago and I've been putting off working on it because I don't want to strip old sealant off with a razor blade and recaulk it!! I don't seem to have patience enough for this. Do u think I could just put new silicone caulking over old...

I'm wanting some advice on nano fish with my betta, right now i have him with 3 corydoras and he does fine and is not super aggressive. Would it be ok to get a few nano fish to put in with him? He likes to play with the cories and I wanted to get some other fish for him to play with that aren't...

Can someone please tell me what a safe but strong epoxy glue I could get to repair a tank, I just found an awesome deal on a 55 gallon (since petco ran out of stock) for $20 at a yard sale. The middle bracket is broken a little bit but I was going to glue it and order new glass lids and reseal...

Does anyone on here have a 60 gallon rectangular aquarium that could give me the outside measurements? I have a stand that I'm trying to figure out what size tank I can get to put on it and I'm thinking that a 60 gallon is the same as a 55 just a couple inches taller, please help!

In my 40 g tank over the past month I've had several fish disappear! 2 neon tetras, 1 scissortail rasbora and now a glofish is missing! Apparently they're getting eaten but I can't figure out who's doing it so I can remove the culprit and transfer to another tank! This is what I have in there: 1...

Need some advice for stocking my new 55 gallon tank which should be here soon, I'm very indecisive and can't make up my mind! I was going to go with Discus but I'm having second thoughts and am thinking about doing a community cichlid tank if possible with smaller species of cichlids. I also...

I have a 3 inch Gold Severum in my 40 g with swordtails and yo- yo loaches, but as soon as I get my 55 g set back up and cycled I want to move him to it considering they can get up to 8-10 inches. Any ideas on tank mates that would go good with him?

I was thinking about getting some ottos for my 55 g that I will be setting up soon, but from the research I've done on the Internet it seems like they can die off rather quickly after putting them in the tank. Anyone have them and does this happen often? The only other bottom dweller I will have...

Ok, I'm going to be getting my 55g set back up and was wanting some ideas for fish. I have a 75g agressive tank and want to do this one pretty much non agressive. I will be moving over 2 of my existing angel fish from my 75g and 1 gold Severum from my 40g and about 3 to 4 yo-yo loaches. I was...

I just did probably one of the dumbest things I've probably ever done in my bleepin life! Converted over my 55 g to a 75 g with last weekend which I really like btw but one thing I don't like is in the white pfs everything shows up including uneaten food and of course fish poo! so I went out...

After reading a lot of horror stories about plecos now I'm afraid for one of my plecos who is in a 40 g tank, and afraid that he will die or his growth will be stunted and he will have to suffer a long painful death :-( right now he's only about 3-4 inches so I was wondering if he will be ok if...

I have some drift wood in my 75 g with a rather large hole in it, could I plant something in it? What type of plant would be good and how could I make it stay without floating to top of tank? Any ideas appreciated :-)

I recently set up a new 75 g tank and transferred everything over from my 55 g tank including the existing filters. Right now I have 2 Hob filters I have a marine land penguin 350 bio filter and a aqua top pfe9 power filter. will these 2 filters still be sufficient for my 75 g tank or should I...

So I spent all day getting my new tank set up with a new substrate white pool sand. It's a 75 g. I will have a tiger Oscar in there with, 2 angel fish, 1 gourami, 1 silver dollar and 1 common pleco. Can anyone tell me who already uses sand for a substrate what would work good on bottom to help...

I just purchased some silica sand aka pool sand and would like someone who has this as a substrate on how to set up in tank and clean. My tank is a 75 g and I bought 100 lbs of it but they told me I could return what I don't use.

I'm going to be setting up a new 75 gallon tank this weekend and plan on transferring as much water that I can salvage from the old tank into the new one, along with my 2 filters and existing media (both filters support up to 75 g) but I'm also thinking of changing my old gravel to sand as well...

It seems like a lot of people despise algae is it just a cosmetic or aesthetic that they think it makes their tank look ugly? I have a good friend who has a lfs and has for about 20 years and he has always told me algae in your tank is a good thing in small amounts, but yet it seems like people...

I have a little 3-4 inch chocolate cichlid I've had for about 2 months. I started out putting him in my 55 gallon With my beloved tiger Oscar. He was terrified and would hide in some rocks and never come out! So I put him in my daughters 40 gallon tank with some community fish because I read...

Hi there! I just recently bought a new 75 gallon tank and am thinking about getting some new fish for my old 55 gal and was thinking about some freshwater discus fish because their colors are so vibrant! I've never had Any discus fish and was wondering if any one out there has had a lot of...
