I recently bought a used 20 gal from my neighbour. *I've had my 10 gal for about 2 and a half years now, and my 29 gal for a bit more than a year. Everything is going well; I vacuum the gravel and change the water every Sunday. ~I was wondering, when I set up this 20 gal tank, Could I fill...

I see that someone has already made a post about the same thing...But I just have to share my experience also. Yesterday, my neighbours were having a garage sale, since they are moving soon. I noticed an aquarium, so I went over to check it out. I was amazed at the great deal I could get. It...

A bit more than a year ago, I bought a Topfin 29gal starter kit from Petsmart. It came with a 20 watt fluorescent light...which still works today. I have different types of plants in my tank... 1 melon sword (which grows very fast!), 2 types of grass, 2 amazon swords, and 1 Anacharis. I keep...

Could someone please tell me what kind of plant this is. I recently bought it at Super Pet, but I don't think they had a name for it. I looked at some websites about plants, and I found that it resembeled the Anacharis the most. Not completely sure though... Thankyou :)

Would it be possible to add some guppies to my 29 gal, even though I have a clown loach? I looked on a chart and it said 'Caution' for guppies and loaches. I have 3 endler's livebearers in my tank and the clown loach never goes near them. I say that because obviously, endler's are smaller than...

Recently, I added 3 live plants to my 29 gal...so I know I will have to leave the lights on for longer now. Usually, I would turn them on when I got home from school, at around 4:15pm, and I turn them off before bed, usually 10:30- 11 pm. I see that that is only about 6-7 hours... and that the...

I recently got a clown loach. I have also been breeding some snails for a while now in a 2 gal. I have probably over 100 of them, and they are very tiny. The biggest is about __ . I want to feed some to my clown loach. So, do I just drop some baby snails into my 29 gal? Should I prepare them...

This is my first post in the Planted Tank section... since i finally got a live plant :) I have had my new melon sword plant for a bit more than a week now, and it is doing great. Already a nice new reddish/green leaf is growing very fast! pretty exciting.. But there is one problem. It was my...

I noticed that about 5 of my platies have been acting funny. They have had clamped fins for a while, but then it got better. But then I started to notice some of them scratching on objects like my plants and big rocks. I shall answer the questions: 1~ It is my platies, especially one of them...

My blue hi-fin platy has clamped fins. I would move her to my QT but my 21 platy babies are in there. What should I do?

I was at Big Al's yesterday buying some endler's, when I noticed a tank of chocolate gouramis. They were so small and cute!! Right away, I wanted to own some ( I am hoping to get another tank..LOL). So I came home and looked for a bit of information on them. I read that they are pretty difficult...

I just have a quick question... Today I was cleaning my tanks and noticed that my big grey/blue and pink/white rocks are really dirty...sorta brown. Also, my silk plants have become brown and especially my nice, tall green plastic plant. How can i clean these up? I have tried several times...

Yesterday I bought a pregnant mickeymouse platy...and she was really big. I put her in my QT last night hoping that if she had babies, I could maybe keep some. I put a big plastic plant in so it would float on the top. This morning when I woke up, I saw a little orange thing on the blue plastic...

About a week ago, I made a post about where I should keep my male betta. People suggested I put him in my 29 gal...but to watch out because the tetras would be aggressive. I had him in the 29 gal for about an hour, and then i noticed his fins were sort of split at the ends (from the tetras, I...

I have noticed something very weird on one of my female neon orange platies. If you look at my pics in my gallery, you will notice one very fat one...which many people have said looks pregnant. Well, a couple of days ago, i was looking in my tank, and i noticed that something about her was...

Since it is so terrible of me to keep my betta in a bowl, would it be better if i put him in my 29 gal with some platies and some tetras? If i did this, would i have to keep him in that floating box thing for bettas/livebearers? thankyou.

Since I started my 29 gal a while ago, I have tried to keep 3 very small angelfish. (All at different times of course). The first time, I had a marble one. I had him for about a week, and then one day, it just disappeared. (I made a post about this). The next one i got, was about a month ago...

I bought 2 bettas 8 days ago...a blue/purple and a red one. They are in their own 1 gallon bowls. I used water from my 29 gal to fill these bowls...which has good water (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate, ph 7.4) They've both been eating well and seem healthy... but this morning i came to see...

Today I purchased a baby angelfish. I noticed the tail was a bit torn, but other than that, it seemed healthy. I asked the girl at the store if Melafix would solve the problem. I read on my melafix bottle that you can add 1 teaspoon per 10 gallons when adding new fish. So if i do this, can i...

Hello What is the best thing to do when you see that one of your fish has clamped fins and hides? my orange platy has been doing this, she doesnt seem happy :( but my parameters are good and everyone else seems happy... TIA

in my 29 gal i have 9 platies.... 3 of them are male and 6 are female. i also have 4 mollies. 2 male, 2 female. i always see people on here talking about how their livebearers are constantly breeding and they dont even have to do anything special to encourage their breeding. this is so...

im not sure if i imagined this, but i think i read somewhere that some people use real sea salt, the kind you can buy in a grocerie store, in their aquariums!! lol anyone know anything about this?

one of my black mollies is fading. it seems like its turning greyish/silver. it isnt like fuzz or a bump or anything... it just seems faded. I would like to know if this is bad? is it a sign of disease or something? i vacuum my gravel and change the water once a week. everyone else is healthy...

i noticed today that one of my black molly's eye has white fluff and its head is kinda grey/faded black...( i read on some sites that it could be flukes, i dont know...) so i want to treat it with quick cure right away. but the problem is, in my QT right now, i have a platy who is almost better...

i have some questions on how to set up this tank... - how often will i have to clean this tank? im sure i would after medicating, but what about when i just put my new fish in there for like 2 weeks when i first buy them? - i think i read somewhere that you should fill the QT with water from...
