They've barely been in the tank and one pair has already spawned and the second looks like it's getting ready. Most of the eggs were fertilized and as of right now I've got a bunch of eggs that are wiggling and bouncing about the nest. This has been going on for a while without any free...

Are there any tetras other than hatchets that spend a majority of their time in the mid or upper levels of the tank? I've got rams occupying the bottom of the tank.

Anyone have any experience with the Hydor External Heater? Seems like a good idea and would unclutter the inside of my tank some.

I just purchased 4 Blue Rams (2 male, 2 female) for my 20 gallon tall tank. They've pretty much spent most of their time hiding amongst the plants in the back and corners of the tank. I don't think they've paired off yet but what would courting behavior look like? Also, I haven't noticed any...

anyone have any recommendations on what the best medication is for treating a wound that has gotten infected with fungus?

The guppies in my 20 gallon aren't very interesting and I've been thinking about replacing them with something else but I want to keep the dwarf puffer and the candystripe goby that are in there. I have 2 concerns however; 1) I think my goby has been using the guppies as a food source because I...

One of my bala sharks (~6 inches) got himself stuck in a hole in a piece of driftwood and tore himself up pretty good, no missing fins but a lot of missing scales and a couple little spots that I can see blood. He's still swimming fine, didn't want to eat tonight but I'm not really surprised...

It's been a while since I've tested my water in my 55 gallon tank which is very overstocked by most standards (see signature; the school of danios is about 30 fish, bala sharks and pleco are about 6 inches each). The tank is planted with some lower light plants, a few crypts, a couple anubias...

I've been looking for a good food to feed my bamboo shrimp, he has these little fans-for-hands he uses to catch suspended particles for food and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried Kent Marine Zooplex in a feshwater setup? Does this look like something that would be good for my shrimp? I...

I've got a dwarf puffer living in a 20 gallon with a clown pleco, a candy stripe goby, and a bunch of endler/guppy hybrids. He's been in there for months now and all I've been feeding him is frozen bloodworms and frozen brineshrimp and he seems to be doing fine. Are snails absolutely necessary...

I know that putting male bettas with other bettas (male or female) is usually not recommended but has anyone had any luck keeping a male and female together in the same tank without them trying to kill each other? I've got a single female in a 3 gallon eclipse and was wondering if there is any...

At my local petsmart they have what is labeled as a belem striped goby but I haven't been able to find any information about the care of this fish. He's defintely a goby, light brown with darker brown stripes that are sort of like a ragged V-shape all along his body. He burrows himself into the...

I just bought a bamboo shrimp (1.5-2"), my first shrimp ever. Anything I need to do to make sure he doesn't die, or are they pretty easy to care for? Right now he's hiding in one of my pieces of driftwood, the wood is vertical and when you look at it from above its sort of in the shape of a C so...

I picked up an anubias barteri and an anubias afzelli the other day and was wondering if they feed from the water column or if they get most of their nutrients from their roots in the gravel? I've heard of people attaching anubias species to driftwood which makes me think that it doesn't need...

The current in my 55 gallon is pretty strong and I'm looking for suggestions on fish that will not have a problem with the current. The 5 danios in there seems to love it but I'm looking to add a bit more variety to the tank and don't want to just get more danios. Any suggestions?

I have a Rena Filstar xP3 on my 55 gallon and I'm a little concerned that the current created by the spray bar is a little too much. Anyone else with this canister filter had any issues with the current? It comes with a little flow regulator knob but turning down the flow that way seems to make...

Recently saw some of these at my local petco, they where decently sized and looked pretty harmless. They where picking through the gravel with brush-like hands. Anything i should know about these guys? Minimum tank size, aggressive, hard to care for, etc?

I have 2 Bala Sharks and recently one of them hasn't been eating the flake food I've been feeding them. She (I've decided it's a she :wink: ) usually sucks in a flake or two and then spits it out or passes it through her gills all chewed up. Maybe she just got tired of the taste? She still eats...

I live in a third floor (top floor) apartment and was wondering what the largest tank you folks think would be safe. I currently have a 20 gallon in my bedroom that is doing alright but some of the fish are looking a bit cramped and I want to get them a new, bigger home for the livingroom. The...
