Hello all! It has been forever! I am not sure how many here know- I own a LPS! I have been working for years to get fish in to sale!! And it finally happened!!! I have only just started, my 12 10g and 4 20g are all cycled and the 10gs are selling fish. Only thing is, I am planning on making at...

So this is a question that has been bugging me for years. More-so now that I have encountered an issue with my common fish net and bristle-nose Pleco. Is there a better net out there than others? In color, mesh size, dimensions or anything? My little guy barbed up and got his cheek caught to...

Okay I am having a very hard time deciding weather or not if I should get a larger aquarium. I have a 29 gallon in a spare room, it's planted, it is sadly mostly forgotten in that room except for the water changes :/ I am looking at upgrading to a 55... I have all the stuff except the stand...

Hi All! I am looking at possibly getting a fresh water clam or two? I was wondering if this was a good idea or not? I have 2 banjo cats, a loach, 5 corycats and a frog on the bottom of the tank, along with 2 small bristle plecos and an apple snail. As far as middle and top fish I have 5...

Let me first say this tank is for my dad who just wanted something in his office. I will be maintaining it. Okay so its been some time since I stocked a 10g. I cycled it and its all set and ready. He really seems to like tiger barbs and things that look a bit different like that. Maybe clown...

The pet shop sold these to me as 'Fancy Shrimp' with two RCS- also labeled 'Fancy Shrimp' the little Pinchers make me wanna say a cray of some sort... They like the moss ball while the RCS are hanging out on filter... Any ideas?

Hey guys... I am not sure what I am going wrong here. As some of you know I changed both of my filters at one time, I just wasnt thinking that day. I threw my tank in a mini cycle. Now my levels are not moving. My NitrItes did a spike to .25 and now are back to 0 My Ammonia- despite my...

Hey all I am seriously wanting to do a full natural planted aquarium... I think I need to start with changing out my gravel substrate. I am really partial to the light colors in my tank but I dont think I can do that with the substrate I will need. How do I go about changing my substrate out...

Hey guys I am starting a little tank for my betta or shrim- I havent fully decided at this point- may do both. Anyway! I boiled it for over an hour and soaked it in drained water from my 29g tank and let it soak with an air stone- once it sank (about a 7-10 days) I put it in my smaller tank and...

Hey all! I have been crazy active these last few days :lol: I am in the process of getting some angels in my main tank. I was looking into hatching brine shrimp. How do I go about doing that? I have read so many different things. I have the eggs, they where given to me, they are San Fransisco...

Hey all! I am looking for a plant that is good foreground cover. I have Dwarf hairgrass in one spot at the moment, I never had this before so I am not sure how well it will spread? I have gravel substrate at the moment, I am really thinking about going to sand but I am not 100% sure on that...

Hey guys! I am starting a new adventure! I have been staring at a near empty tank for a while now and I have decided that instead of more neons or rasboras I wanna try angels I have have angels before but it's been years and before I became a serious hobbyist. I want to be sure I do this...

Hello again all! It's been ages since I posted- its sad really. I am adding plants to my tank and I found information on a few I didn't know.. but this one... it really is stumping me! I am almost thinking they sold me a plant that isnt aquatic hahaha. I dont want to think that yet though! So...

Okay, I have had goldfish before and have always had luck. I never had one that was aggressive before. I am not sure if it's a size thing or if the other fish was showing weakness. Here are the tank specs- 30 gallon, 65 Degrees F, 1 goldfish (now) no other tank mates. I cycled my...

I am working on making Styrofoam islands for crabs I am planning on getting for Puffer food. I so far only have the shape in I wanted to add sand on the top (since i have extra from filling the dank) but I wasnt sure what I could use? The foam I am using is actually non-toxic florist foam and it...

Okay so I can't seem to find the answer anywhere else. Though, this may be a bit too spacific? My friend is giving me her moss ball. She had it in with her betta but the betta died. He 'Pineconed' (I think that's what it's called). She said it wasn't long after putting it in there and it seemed...

This one is so neat, I got two bunches of them for both my tanks: These ones are a bit weird. The guy at the store had no idea what they are and he threw a couple in my bag for free... any ideas? They have like.... cucumbers for roots XD

Hello all. I am working on cycling my 20, planted, aquarium. I am planning a peaceful/live bearer community. I love shrimp and was curious what shrimp would do well? I really want a bamboo shrimp or two. My LFS only carries Bamboo and Ghosts sadly. My bulb will be a FLO FLORAMAX BULB 17W from...

Alright, its been a long time since I cycled a 'substantial' tank from scratch. I am setting up a 20 tall. I have an established (Although needing a water changed due to high nitrates) 5 gallon. I have the filter and everything I need for the 20, just waiting for the stand. I was wondering if I...
