Okay, so I have this 20 gallon tank that is fully cycled but empty at the moment (except for a snail infestation). I've been thinking about getting a betta. (I've done the community thing and I have decided I don't want to do that again right now.) The thing is, I have a snail problem in the...

Well, long story short, I've finally got my 20 gallon tank moved to my new apartment and I'm starting to think about getting new fish. I could use some creative ideas and advice from you guys. My tank is a 20 gallon tall. It has some Java fern as well as a few fake plants. River rock gravel and...

Okay, I deed a lamp that can clip to the edge of a table and will be bright enough to light up a 5 gallon tank. The tank has a one piece hood with a strip of LED lights but I do not have a power adapter to plug them in. I may still be able to find one that will work somewhere but for now I need...

Okay, so I was wondering what was so great about the Python since lots of people here use it. I looked up a video on how it worked and it looks really neat but I was wondering exactly how it works. I mean you are essentially dumping chlorinated water back into your tank right? Isn't that bad? I...

Hello everyone, I have a 20 gallon tall community tank that I was thinking about putting female Bettas in. But I'm not completely convinced it's a good idea. My tank currently houses 4 Cory cats 5 neon tetras 1 albino BN Pleco Some ghost shrimp Some Ramshorn snails It also houses a BR but I am...

So, for the las few months I have had a few issues with my Albino Cory's fins being chewed off. I could've figure out who was behind this ago I asked on the forum and people seemed to think it was my Bolivian Ram. I've never seen him actively ripping fins off of my fish but he has chased some of...

So, I am going on a little day trip for my birthday this weekend and thought while I was out I'd check out some of the non local fish stores. If I manage to find somewhere that sells Nerite Snails I would really like to get some while I'm there. Problem is, it's a 3 - 4 hour drive back home and...

So I went to my LFS and spent way more than I intended on two new Bettas, a tank divider and a small bottle of Bettafix. Here they are! I managed to find this gorgeous blue and white double tail. And a Dragonscale Plakat!! The tank divider was a PAIN to put in but one I got it in there...

One of my Neons has been hanging near the top and looks really lethargic. It's color is really dull and it's fins are clamped. What do I do? I am putting him in QT now. all I have on hand is aquarium salt and Melefix. Will Melefix help? None of my other tetra are acting sick. Please help!

I have had a dwarf gourami before and I was always paranoid about him getting DGD and he never did. Recently, I got another Gourami to put in my mom's 10 gallon aquarium. It wasn't until after I brought him home that I noticed a spot in his side. It looks a bit swollen and I don't know for sure...

Okay, so I have a 20 gallon and two 10 gallon tanks. You would think that would be enough but noooo. A while back my grandmother gave me 2 small used tanks. A 5 gallon and a 2.77 gallon tank. They have been sitting in my closet for months and driving me crazy. It just seems wrong to have empty...

I'm just curious, In the past, I have put gravel from an established tank in a cycling tank to help get the BB started out but I was wondering, Would putting an old filter cartridge from an established tank plus gravel from said established tank help the cycling process more? I'm not currently...

I'll admit it right now, this has been going on for some time now but I though I could fix it on my own and I was afraid of being yelled at here on the forum for being a bad fish keeper. But now that all my attempts have failed I am asking for help. My poor albino Cory that I have had for over a...

Okay so I was just feeding my fish like I have every day and I suddenly noticed my Bolivian Ram chasing all my other fish around. And not just a little bit. He's mercilessly chasing my poor cories that have done nothing to interrogate him EVER. I have had this Ram for probably almost a year now...

So what is the difference between a Nerite and an Apple snail? I've been looking for a Nerite snail to help clean alge out of my tanks and several people here have recommended them but all I can find in my local Petsmart only has Apple Snails (well, they call them Mystery Snails but I know they...

My current project is re-scaping my 20 gallon tank. I thought I'd share my progress since I have been putting this off for far too long. Here's what I've done so far. Suggestions are most welcome. I'm not terribly good at this whole aquascaping thing, As you might tell from my...

So today I bought 6 Endler's Livebarers and a powder blue Dwarf Gourami for my mom's 10 gallon tank! They are getting acclimated right now. Unfortunately, my silk plants won't be in until tomorrow. The Endler's seem okay but my Gourami is still pretty shy. I plan to try and get a Nerite snail as...

I currently have a 2.77 gallon "goldfish" tank that I was given and I am trying to figure out what to do with it. My only viable option (besides toss it) is a Betta or shrimp tank. I would really love to take in another Betta and free him from a cup prison. My question is this. I have heard...

I was just looking at fish on Petsmart.com and this came up. Hahaha! Too funny not to share! Not sure if this is the site or just mu iPad being weird but it's still funny. Just read what they are labeled as! ;D

I have a Betta Ina 10 gallon tank right now but I really really want to get another. I just love Bettas. I'm not sure I have room for another tank so I was wondering if I could get a tank divider and divide my 10 gallon. First of all, Is that a good idea? I'm just worried that my filter will...

So, I've been taking some really intense college classes recently and I've been neglecting my tanks but I am determined to get them back on track and starting routine maintenance again. I have 3 tanks running currently. Two 10 gallons and my 20 gallon. I have finally got my 10 gallon tanks all...

So, A while back I talked my mom into putting a tank into our living room. Long story short the tank has been running a while with my Betta in it but now, due to a vast amount of tannis in the water that would not go away, I removed the driftwood that was in there and had to do several major...

I am currently setting up a 10 gallon tank and someone on another forum said I could try using it as a betta sorority tank. I love Bettas but I have never had females. I love the idea of a sorority tank IF it will work. Will a 10 gallon tank work for a sorority tank (seems iffy to me)? If so...

I've had this thing sitting in my room for a while now and have finally decided to do something with it. I bought it from a friend who was upgrading and she gave me a filter, 2 boxes of cartridges, some neon gravel and several decorations (Not bad for $40). Anyway, I could use some ideas on how...

I am starting a new 10 gallon tanks and I am wondering if I can cover the gravel with Java Moss hOw much gravel do I need in the bottom and do I still have to vacume the gravel if it is covered in Java Moss?
