I love everyone's answers. There's so many reasons. I currently have 14 koi and 3 comets. I really miss having fancy goldfish (even though they def have some issues with their genetics as you guys mentioned) but there just isn't anymore room anymore. One day I dream of having a huge tank...

I've always wondered why there was such a large distaste for goldfish. I know everyone has their own opinions but to me I always thought they were perfect. So I just wanted to know your opinion, do you like them? Do you dislike them? Why? :cool:

I had bought a hermit crab with anemones on it without realizing how difficult anemones would be (I thought they would be more like easy corals. I was wrong.I never had any intention to have nems or corals so I didn't really research it but the crab + nem was so cool... I was very wrong.) The...

...I think they're dead. They're not muscus or jelly like what people say dead anemones are like but they all came off the crab and I think he ate one. They came off very cleanly though and are just lying at the bottom of the tank not attached to anything :/ They aren't quite decaying but they...

Today the anemones seem to be releasing some sort of brown film? Theyre reacting to movement but theres this stuff arouns them

Yup. I used to have land hermits and I remember being horrified when I picked up an empty shell only to see another one moving away and being relieved. I wonder what he'll do with his anemones after he changes shells

Sounds like a plan. Well the store I went too had one that was like 6-8 inches or so. It was huge! It had like 5 anemones on it. The store owner said he probably ripped the anemones off the other crabs and stuck it on himself. Yup it's a hobby store, I also have some souvenir shells from...

Nowhere near one. I do have Michaels though. Haha well he's quite speedy the store owner had a bit of trouble grabbing him.

How sad, he'll stop his fun parties. He's actually quite big so getting him shells is gonna be hard he's about 4 inches already, he had a tank mate the size of my face and I was tempted to get that one but was struggling with shells to provide. I really hope that they are. I'll provide light...

Oh :/ Now I gotta get lights. I like his little anemone party hat though so I really hope that they don't move off the crab. I also hope that the anemones are gonna be okay. It's weird not seeing them respond to anything.

WHOOPS POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION. Sorry, could a mod move it to the right one?

The owner of the store said that they weren't photosynthetic?

I went to a local fish store today and there were GIANT hermit crabs with anemones attached to them. I thought that was really cool so I brought one home with me. I've never had anemones before and after acclimating the crab and anemones to my tank (well they're in a bin that's floating in my...

That's good then :) How do you tell if they are pretty though?

Yea I don't think it worked the eggs are turning white. That's too bad. :/

Yes, the question that plagues many of our minds when we meet others can now be applied to fish. This is my first time having a female platy and she came home like this. Is she pregnant? If so then how far along is she?

Hello everyone. I recently got into the shrimp game and got some ghost shrimp from petsmart. I really like them it's so fun to see them eating things. I had gotten about 6 of them 2 weeks ago and one died on the night of and 3 more died from molting. Leaving me with two. Then my mom went out and...

The frogbit looked okay when I bought it but the other plants that came with it were a mess. I'm going to try a little experiment now. I put some in two bowls by the window, one has ferts and the other has shrimp and no ferts. Then I have one in my betta tank with very light flow and lights on...

Oh okay then. I have some shrimp, frogs and a snail in there will they be okay if I dose ferts?

So a few days ago my mom went and got me some Frogbit from a guy and I've already had to throw away almost half of it because it turned into mush. I'm keeping it in my planted bowls and placed those beside the window but everyday I have to come by and take out dead bits. I only used about half...

I did too after my initial shock the first time I heard it lol

A mermaid.

lol I think my mom told him that she wanted one that was "a little more active. As in Breathing." lol. He was so serious about it too. :lol:

Guy working there: Okay, here are your fish. My mom: That fish is dead! Guy working: It's sleeping. It'll wake up when the water warms up.They do this all the time. Btw these were goldfish.

Of course you can rearrange! Have a look at the members tanks on here and you can be inspired to move and redecorate however you want. The best part about tanks is that you can decorate it however you choose to!
