My bp, Misty hasn't been acting like herself today.. She's usually really friendly and swims right to the front of the tank as soon as she sees me, but today she was hiding in my ghost knife's log and I noticed her colors looked washed out and she's quite thin... I decided to feed everyone and I...

Everytime the lid is left off of a tank or when I'm in the middle of a water change, my 3 month old kitten will NOT STOP drinking the water! Anyone elses cats do this? Lol I try to tell him, the water is yucky but he just doesn't care lol. I don't know if this could be hazardous to his health...

We had to use live goldfish in my biology lab :( We had to put them in a graduated cylinder to measure their volume and then into a beaker filled with "culture solution" for 15 minutes to measure their respiration... I feel so bad for them :(

My betta has been working on this , its huge!

In my 10 gal I have a golden mystery snail and a blue ramshorn snail. And then all of a sudden....a baby snail, have no idea what kind, is cruising across the glass today. What?

Hey I posted a thread like a week ago about a new goldfish I got, my 1st in a long time. She is an oranda, still a baby. She is in a 15 gallon, its not her permanent home, just probably for the next year or so. I was advised on here that 15 gallons would not affect her growth so long as I keep...

In my college composition II class we have to write an argumentative essay and I decided that I wanted the topic of my essay to be on the importance of coral reefs on marine and human life and preservation. I need 8-10 sources, 5 of which need to be scholarly. I'm sure some of you are very...

I just impulse bought the cutest red cap oranda. Would it be totally cruel and impossible to happily keep the little guy in a double filtered 15 gallon for a while? I've got an empty 20 laying around somewhere but its dirty and it doesn't have a lid or a stand and I would just rather not use it...

Okay, I have been wondering this for a while. For your average person, how do you make money breeding fish? What fish to choose? How to gain a market to sell the fry? I'm a college student and I don't make enough money serving 3 days a week and don't have time to pick up a second job and if I...

I would kinda like to go high tech on my 10 gallon but I have no idea where to start or what I'd need? Can someone point me in the right direction and lend some advice/info to help me decide if high tech is the way to go? Currently I have bronze wendtii, water wisteria, moneywort, anacharis, a...

In my bettas 10 gallon tank I have about 5 ghost shrimp and blue rili shrimp, I honestly I don't know if I still have them all because they're never all out at the same time. But today I did witness what appeared to be one of my ghost shrimp snacking on another ghost shrimps unattached tail! Is...

He is in a 10 gallon planted tank with a whisper 10i filter. There are also about 5 ghost shrimp, a nerite (I think) and gold mystery snail. I just think I want to add something to up the activity level because he just hides in the plants a alot. What could I add? Open to suggestions of both...

Lady at the store told me that the Marineland single strip led lighting bar would be sufficient for my tank, but then I read online (after I already bought it) that it isn't recommended for planted tanks? I have bronze wendtii, amazon sword, moneywort, water wisteria, anacharis and a marimo moss...

Found him at petsmart :) he's camera shy.

I know that dwarf puffers need 3-5 gallons each but would it be possible to have just 1 dp in a 3 gallon? I have a couple just sitting around empty.

I just moved my betta from a 3 gallon half moon to a 10 gallon standard :) he and his friends (2 ghost shrimp and a nerite snail) are happily exploring right now :) What do you guys think? Comments and suggestions? :D

I'm moving my betta into a 10 gallon tank and I got a whisper 10i internal power filter. Will this be enough for just a betta and shrimp?

I just siphoned whatever this thing is up during a water change! What is it? Why is it in my tank? What do I do now? Is it harmful to my fish? If there's one...how likely is it that there's more? Sorry for crappy pic, I tried my best to get a good one

What is your experience with these fish? What size tank do you keep them in and what are their tankmates. What food do you give them? I hear they are very finicky...what would be their ideal water and tank conditions ? Any info is appreciated :) Thanks!

After moving my moms betta back to her sorority and an ich outbreak that occurred while I was away for a few days, in my 15 gallon tank I now have 2 male guppies, 1 rubberlip pleco and 10 neons. What fish (or pair) could I add as a centerpiece fish? Something pretty... Not interested in dwarf...

Okay so I was wondering what everyone feeds their fish, and more importantly, how much and how often. I'm trying to avoid over feeding, but I'd also like to hear what foods you experts find superior in quality and bring out the best in your fish. I feed all my fish the same mix of foods. Spread...

Male or female?

I bought this betta originally for my mom, she has a betta sorority tank. It was labeled simply as "female betta" but I'm not so sure...I had her in the tank with 6 other female bettas but as I noticed bubble nests forming at the top, idk if females make those.. I took her/him out and into my 15...

Isn't he a beauty? Here's a pic of his new home too.
