Hey guys, wondering if you could help me out here! I'll start from the beginning. I cycled my 55 gallon with absolutely nothing it save for a piece of "seed" Driftwood from my other tank, tossing in some fish flakes every other day. It was rough, I was bored and wanted something in there lol...

Hey guys, I just had to post something when I found this! I've had this tank cycling for a while, and last week I added pool filter sand as a substrate. This week, I have 2 plants growing!! One of them is growing out of one of the filter intakes, and the other is just a sprout, (that isn't doing...

Hey guys, so I have a 55 gallon tank cycling in my living room. It has nothing but a makeshift light, old filter and soon to have a layer of pool filter sand in the bottom. I am hoping to keep 4 Red Zebra, 4 Cobalt Blue Zebras, 4 East African Flameback Cichlids, and 2 albino Bristlenose Plecos...

Hey guys! So I'm back after quite a few months away and am very lucky to be starting fresh! I have 2 empty tanks cycling right now, and I'm looking at turning the 30 gallon into a heavily planted community tank!

I'm giving my goldfish and common pleco a new 55 gallon home and I need something new for my 30 gallon. I am Dead set on Tiger Barbs, and would really love a pleco that won't outgrow a 30 gallon. And I'd love to add anything else if possible so any ideas are welcome!

Hey guys, I am at my wits end with my goldfish. I've lost my 2 favorites and have no idea what was wrong. First ill answer all the necissary questions --The first affected goldfish was a red cap oranda, about 2 inches long including fins. For a week prior to his death he started to loose his...

Hey, I was just wondering if there were any betta breeders here, or if anybody knows of a breeder. I loove my bettas and although I can't help picking up the poor sick pet store bettas, I really want a couple of unique bettas to start breeding. I can't find female bettas around here anywhere...

My beloved betta who I've had for a year and a half has recently started all sorts of weird things. First off, he is changing colors. He was a light pastel pink when I got him. Now his entire upper fin is a dark purple-ish blue, and he is sprouting stripes of the same color on his anal fin. He...

I had a 20 gallon long tank set up with these mbunas- 3 yellow labs about an inch and a half long, and 1 cobalt blue zebra just over 2 inches. I had lots of aggresion problems with my cobalt blue, always keeping the other cichlids hiding. When I added two plecos about 2 1/2 inches, my cobalt...

Hey, I'm a newb to the site, but not to fishkeeping. I received a 10 gallon starter kit for christmas, (I know, kind of useless but its the thought that counts right?) which has completed its first cycle (still empty). Now I just have to figure out what the heck to put in it. I'm open to all...
