So I finally set up some DIY co2 last night and now I have a few questions. It is being very infrequent with the bubbles. I am getting about 30 bubbles every minute or so sometimes it happens sooner sometimes longer. Is this just because I just set it up and its just starting? Also what is the...

Ok so my 40 gallon tank always has this "dingy" look to it I guess you could say? No matter how much or how often I change the water it just never has that crystal clear look to it? All of my other tanks always look nice and clean after water changes but this one never seems to. I run an...

So I just bought a red tiger lotus and it has two shoots going up to the surface but while I was moving it around somehow the bulb fell off the plant. The plant still has a good set of roots on it but I was wondering will it live without being attached to the bulb or what will happen? Will the...

I have a molly who I have had for at least a year now and now all of a sudden she is going crazy and is super jumpy. Anytime anyone walks in front of the tank or any sudden movements happen she goes berserk and tries to jump out of the tank. Sometimes nothing can happen and she just randomly...

I have been looking around at some used tanks and someone emailed me from craigslist stating they had a 100 gallon tank for sale. They sent me a picture and to me it looks like a 55 gallon tank and the top frame is chipped. When I asked them about it they said it was supposed to look like that...

So I am going to be picking up a 75 gallon in the next few days and I am trying to figure out how I want to stock it. I know I want angels and some type of schooling fish but not sure what kind. I wanted neons but from what I have heard/read most angels will eat them sadly :/ So what are some...

Ok today while I was moving stuff around and moving a fish tank around I had my goldfish in a bucket and it jumped out. I'm not sure how long it was out of water. When I put it back in the water it didn't move and didn't look like it was even breathing but after a few minutes it started...

Ok so I will try and make this as short as possible :) I have a 20 gallon long tank and I want to upgrade the light and add another filter. Seems easy enough right? No...The top frame where a light would either attach or fit down into is non existent it must have either been broken off or chewed...

Ok so I saw a picture of these guys recently and needless to say I fell in love! I was wanting to get one or 2 down the road when I get a bigger tank but was just wondering if anyone had any or had more info on them than I have found on google. Like first hand experience. Any help on what you...

Ok I was at the pet shop recently and they had pygmy cories and I fell in love and I never really liked any time of cory til I saw them. But anyways I already have otos and yoyo loaches. Would adding cories be too much for the bottom of the tank? If so I have a ten gallon that I dont know what...
