About a month ago, I bought 8 ghost shrimp for my 40b tank. Recently they all just disappeared. I know my fish don't eat them because my rasboras and cardinals don't go anywhere near them. I continue to test my parameters and they are all good. I keep reading that they are easy to keep but this...

I recently got a rubbernose pleco but all he does is hide under my driftwood all day. I saw him swimming around the first day I introduced him, but after that I haven't seen him since. I have had him for around 3 weeks now.

Right now I'm running an aquaclear HOB filter that is up to 50g on my 40b tank. I see some people with canister filters but I am wondering if I should get a canister filter myself? I really like the filtration system in the aquaclear filter and I was wonder if canister filters are nearly the...

I had been doing some work around the house, it was pretty dark and it was after I had fed them by about 30 minutes and I noticed behavior I had never seen before. My harlequin rasboras had been flaring their fins up at each other. I'm not even sure why they are doing this but they haven't...

I have been looking recently at the seachem website and I noticed something and got confused a little bit. I noticed that the flourish additive adds the same things that the flourish tabs do, which I added to my tank when I first set it up. Should I actually get flourish excel or do I just dose...

I have been keeping a 40 breeder lately, and I really am interested into the salt water side of things. I am hoping to eventually do a reef tank down the road when I can get the money, but I need to understand a bit more. I understand the concept of a sump, but with a sump, I will install a...

I can't seem to find this plant anywhere, I bought it at petco once and have never seen it again. Secondly, I can't seem to make it out in any pictures on the Internet. However I can provide that the leaves grow from the main stem, and the stem is segmented.

Looking to get a school of red cardinal tetras, but would it be okay to have them with my school of white minnows + harlequin rasboras?

So I'm walking along at petsmart to buy some dog food. I'm naturally a fish guy so I go by there and see what selection they have, and I see a fluvial filter. This isn't a fluvial filter, it's the exact same thing as my aquaclear 50 hob. It also says fluvial, on the box it says recently known as...

I'm stocking my 40 breeder and I was wondering if you guys think a red tailed shark will be compatible with my bottom feeder cories?

Well guys, it is that time. I am on the verge of buying a new aquarium. However, I am at a standstill. I can either buy a 30g for $60 or a 20g long for 20$, I am not really sure the pro's and con's that are related with the different types of tanks. Secondly, I will not make the same mistake...

I'm not sure if you can see the sort of colored film on top of the water, but it's there. It covers the water and I can break it apart with my fingers, it also seems to be inhibiting water flow from my filter. However, I have done a 50 percent water change everyday for 6 days and nothing has...

So, I have loved my freshwater tank but I have been seduced by the saltwater tank for sometime now. I, however, am on a budget. I am a college student and I pay for my own house. As stated above, I want to start a FOWLR 20g tank. I am a little bit confused on how I can go about doing things...

So I have put some live plants in my tank today, but I am not sure if I did it right. When I bought them from Petco they were together and held together in a bundle, I split them apart and put the single stalks in different places in the tank. Am I suppose to keep them together or is this okay...

So, I made the mistake of getting too small of a tank. I really want to upgrade to a 20g. Is there a cost effective way to do this? Or do I have to cycle a whole new tank, with a new filter, with new gravel, etc?

So im thinking of buying LEDs for my tank. Will my plants still benefit from LEDs? Also, what about the lights with a day and night light? Do I turn on the night lights to simulate night time or do I go from day to night to off? Thank you.

I use a d90 with a 18-200, external flash

New member here, I have a 10 gallon tank with 2 zebra danios, 2 platies and 3 ghost shrimp. I have enough plants to make the tank look nice but not too much, really no idea what plants I got. I regret buying the male platies and and zebras because they really shouldn't be in my tank, it's too...
