I need some help sexing this GBR and I was hoping y'all could help.

So I have a few GBRs in my 20 gallon and I'm hoping a couple pair up but I need help sexing them. This is the newest one. He's kinda pale but I'm pretty sure it's a male. Any opinions? The next one is the oldest. Her belly gets bright pink so I'm pretty sure it's a female. The...

So I just got back from a few days vacation and had my friend adding some ammonia every day to keep my fishless cycle going. When I got back I tested my water and got these readings. A huge pH drop! Ammonia - 4 ppm Nitrite - dropped from 5+ to 0 ppm PH - dropped from 8.4 when I left, to 6.4...

After lurking on this site for quite a while, I have decided to post my own adventure! I've dealt with the guppy fun tank and platy communities but now I'm stepping it up a notch. I just bought my own 20 gallon and I plan on stocking it with a pair of German Blue Rams and some other community...

So I'm starting a new 20 gallon fresh water and to help start the cycle I will be putting in some gravel, filter material, and plants from an already cycled tank. I will most likely do a fishless cycle. So the question, do I need to add bacteria starter if I'm already "seeding" my tank from...

So I wanted to start up a 20 gallon cichlid tank and I was wondering what fish I could stock. I know someone with some yellow lab cichlids for sale that are only about an inch long and was wondering what I could put with them.

So I'm wanting to plant my 35 gallon tank that's pretty tall with a few live plants. However, I was wondering if plants like cabomba or hornwort will take hold in my medium sized gravel. The grain in about a half a centimeter in diameter. And I'm also thinking a plant like anarchis. Will these...

So I'm looking to start a second tank in my house. I currently have a 35 gal with some fake plants and about 9 guppies. It's set up alright with fake plants but I'm looking to make a more interesting tank with real plants. I'm looking to get a 20 gal and I was wondering if anyone had tips on...

I was wondering about how long it would be until my guppy gives birth.
