This is aweful... We went there to shop something, with my baby, and figured maybe we could check out the fish they have. I know they're not usually very well kept, but didn't know that I would see something like this. I felt my guts hurt, and was glad that my baby was too small to see the fish...

So I have this ghost shrimp who has been eating like crazy these days, and then this afternoon when I got back from school I saw it had a bunch of eggs with it! Wow, but then holy molly... 8O My shrimp was actually digging into its own egg sac and taking the eggs out one by one, munching on...

As a future oto owner, I am concerned with the diet of my future oto (actually, I love them already and I feel attached to my future otos already!!! Talk about expectations!). I read in a couple of threads that one can feed otos some blanched veggies, which is fine, but I'm wondering how long I...

I have a 10g tank, lightly planted, and I am cycling it right now with 1 white cloud and 2 neons.

So I forgot about...

I have a 10G tank with 5-10mm sized gravel (about 3 lbs), whisper 10 filter, 2 ghost shrimps, 3 neon, 2 white cloud mountain minnow, 1 bunch of anacharis, 4 plastic plants, 15W light, and an aerator. The tank has been set up for 10 days, and I am doing 20% water change every other day...

A total newbie here. So glad I found this forum. Started a tank I got from my friend about a week ago. Now I'm regretting that I should've found this site a little earlier. My friend told me the tank is 'cursed', but after spending a couple of hours reading here it was not the tank but my...

Hello: I got an old aquarium set from my friend, and it has a whisper 10 filter. It only takes a 'bio bag' which is a cotton bag with carbon in it, and the product description says to replace it every month or so. Also, the product webpage says that biobag deals with chemical and mechanical...
