Today, I was doing a water change, and noticed tiny black fish swiming around! There's about 15 of them, and they must have been born today, because its the first time i've noticed them. I'm a pro at Guppy fry, is there anything diffrent I need to know about the platys? I'll post some pics later.

So petco was having a 5 for 5 sale. I impulsivley bought Neon tetras, and they were good, schooling toghter until the next moring. I found one dead. No biggie, I flushed it. The next day, one is missing. I'm worried that this will keep happening. I have a 55 gal thats been going since may, and...

Yesterday, my hatchet fish that was 2 weeks old, just died. I saw no change in behavior. Then today, my precious clown loach died! The other clow loach, which is living, has a TON of white spotts all over its body. It was just moving in between rocks, looked like it was sratching itself. Someone...

I have a pair of clow loaches. I started out with one, then got the other a month later. The first one would always hide and I rarely saw it, only when the lights were off. Then I got the other one, and to fix this problem I took some rocks out and made a nice little cave for the both of them...

I am. We just gave my old 12 gal tank with filter, hood, and stand to our family friends. I'm going over on saturday to help them set it up. I've been through the basics, I just want to know what fish will be good for a family with 3 boys aged 6, 10, and 8. The tank has a filter from Regent...

I have a 55 gal fw community tank. I (currently) have ~10 guppies, a pleco, a platy, and a clown loach (going to get another one). I am definatley going to get more fish, sell some of the guppies. So i probably will have around 20 fish total. What is the absolouste best filter for under $60. I...

I saw an ad in the newspaper the other day for a 55 gal Aquarium w/ stand hood and lights. I called and she called me back the next day. So I said 'd be by to pick it up. I went and got it. The stand was brand new and the tank was kinda ratty, but looks okay now that I've cleaned it. She found a...

In your experience with building ponds, what did everyone do with the tons of dirt?

EDIT: I'm cutting some of the liner to make a waterfall. Then FINAL size (hopefully) is 13x17. Sorry, I have a lot of trouble in math, I'd rather have someone experienced do it than screwing up my pond.

First, the idea. Well, I kinda stole it from Bill Nye the Science Guy. You take a nice bunch of moss and put it in a blender. Then you add some milk. No, this isn't to eat! Then pour some in between the rocks on your stream or anywhere else you want moss. In a few days it will grow into...

I'm making a small pond (180 gal + small water fall) and the guy at Lowes told me I needed a 1000 gph pump. I'm only having a few small comets in there. So, is the guy right?

I want to have a circular pond 35 feet in circumfrence (I already measured with string, and its a good size). What size liner do I need, I want the pond to have ledges 12, 18, and 24 in, and what would the volume be? Pick one from...

Wow I feel stupid, but I want to do this right. How do I overlap a liner?

I'm planning on setting up a relitivley small pond later in the spring. I'm probally going to have 2 parts and 2 fountains connecting and recirculating them. The smaller part which will probally be in the back will be used for some tads. The larger part which will be connected to the smaller...

So, in the recent AFM there's an article about Paludariums, basically half water half land tanks. The LFS has one but its realy diffrent from the one described in the article. It has a bunch of levels. So does anyone have one or know how to set them up?

I have a few questions and requests. I have a 12 gal tank of baby guppies (not fry, they are a little smaller than an adult) can I keep an african dwarf frog with them? What do they eat? Finally, can someone post links to a site about them. TIA

Yesterday I went to Pet Supplies "Plus" and got a bannana plant (I think thats what its called) and a small pleco for 2 bucks total! Just thought I'd show my guppies babies! The plant. The pleco, can someone ID it?

So today I got up, turned on the light and what do I find? My guppy's gravid spot gone! I couldn't see the fry so I thought she ate them but now it turns out there is 5! I have a breeding trap but it was my first time with a pregnant fish, so I didn't know when to put her in. I need advice! My...

Every once and a while I have a fish get caught in the filter grate (The filter media is in the hood, and a tube goes down to the bottom of the tank and has a large box for the floss, thats where the fish get stuck) Is there anything I can do to prevent this? The one that got caught yesterday...

I am thinking about starting an Aquarium Cleaning business. I would offer weekly matinince, shopping (For fliter media, decorations, food, ect.)and all that other fish related care. I need a unique name and I want to know if anyone would ever use such a service if it was in their area. I also...

I am planning on purchasing a hood for my 10 gal. All of the hoods I've seen say "Fits All-Glass & most other brand 10 gal aquariums with frame top opening 9 3/4" x 19 1/2" " I've measured my tank and the measurements are 20" by a little over 10". My question is, will the hood fit?

I've seen a few people on this board form MA, is anyone a member of the BAS? I am considering joining, but I'd like to hear about it from a member first.

I am planning to build an outdoor pond, probally in the spring. What kind of pump do I need to supply the waterfall with water from the pond?

Okay, I've been keeping bettas since July, which is NOTHING compared to most people on the board. I started doing research the first day I had my first betta, and I know a whole lot. I've tried breeding bettas with diffrent fish every time, but it failed both times. I have a 5 gal tank, a half...
