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 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...

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...

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 have a pair of female Parrot Cichlids that haven't eaten for a few days and have turned pale as paper. I have a plastic medicine syringe that could fit into their mouths. Do you think I could try force feeding them some peas and frozen blood worms? I recently moved them from their 20 gallon to...

Just as the title says. One of my Mom's Parrot Chiclids has this strange jelly thing coming out of it's butt. Is it egg bound? What can I do to help? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Aside from this jelly thing, it's acting normal. It's rather pale because I just migrated it from it's...

What concrete is good for freshwater tanks? Quickrete seems to have many kinds, which one is okay?

My goldfish got poisoned by the silicone in the tank and I managed to keep it alive till now but it's gradually getting worse. It was already in a hospital tank but it's condition didn't get any better no matter what I did. This is his current condition. His symptoms are popeye, pine coneing...

So I ordered some LED RGB strips from a seller on ebay and I got them yesterday. They came with a remote and power adaptor. I plugged them in today and it started sparking so I screamed bloody murder and unplugged them. Did anyone else have this problem? I'm scared to plug them in now... BTW...

I love the way the fluval edge ( the 6g one) looks but I can't work around how tiny it is. I was thinking about making a replica in a different size. Has anyone tried this? How did it turn out?

Okay, so as some of you may know, I took on a 90 gallon touch up project where I ripped off the old dingy silicone and replaced it. It took countless hours (actually it took me about a month of continous work), lots of cuts,blisters and lots of climbing in and out on top of a ladder. After I...

So mothers day is coming up and being the aquatic freak that I am, I've decided to give her something fishy for mothers day. So far I have a marimo that had some "babies" (I'm making a tiny Marimo Family.) that will be the high light of the gift but just that alone would be boring. So I was...

I'm in alberta, does anyone know how much it costs to ship here and your experiences with aquabid? I've never ordered live things online before but some of those bettas can't be passed up.

Just a quick question, can you put different shrimp together? Like Blue Velvets and Blue rili or green shrimp? Also, if I kept them in an open top habitat would they crawl away?

Marimo Moss Balls.That is...what were you thinking? :cool: I just love Marimos but they're so expensive here. 8 dollars for a 2 inch ball. I only have one but I hope that one day it may make some babies ;) I just love looking at set-ups with Marimos so show me some! :D Jars, bowls, tanks...

I've wanted a pet jellyfish for a few years now but I always thought it wasn't possible in Canada. Recently, I found out that it is possible to keep them but couldn't find where to get them locally or at least without breaking my bank account. Last week I ventured to a nearby Fish store and...

I'm sure that to many of you this isn't much but to me this thing is a monster! I got it second hand and so it needs a lot of work ( I totally got ripped off. I shouldn't have bought it :( My parents keep tsking at me) I'm thinking that next time I move, I'm going to try trading it off for a...

So I bought a new water conditioner with nitraban (it's tetraaqua) I normally use the one without nitraban that says it's compatible for saltwater and freshwater. I've been using the new one with nitraban for all my tanks the past week but today I changed my goldfish water and disaster has...

I think they are nematodes. I noticed them swimming around in my Ropefish aquarium right after I cleaned it and turned the filter back on. I figure I'll have to boil the filter media or get a new one but what about the sand? Should I take it out and dry it? Will that kill off the nematodes?

I'm currently working on obtaining a 100 gallon tank but I can't decide on what I want to do with it. At the current moment I have 22 goldfish crammed into a 40 gallon long ( 48 inches long x 12 inches tall x 12 inches wide?) Most of these fish will go out in the pond in the summer. So should I...

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it or ask what it was called when I was at the pet store but this plant was gorgeous and not for sale. It's a very tall plant with small rounded leaves that are close to the stalk. The stalk itself was green, fairly thick and sturdy. The plant was...

I've done my research on it and have the necessary equipment but all the sites say not breed Veil tails. Personally, to me, veil tails come only second to Rose tails. At the current moment, I have a lovely yellow-blue mustard gas Veil tail male (which I should name :lol:) and a pretty little...

I've been keeping freshwater tanks for years now but I'm still a beginner with Marine tanks and I recently had one going for my Mom's Snowflake Eel. Unfortunately, he died on Christmas Eve (bad timing much?) after being with us for a month and I tore the whole thing down. He always sat in the...
