Would a pair of rams be okay in a standard 20 gallon tank? If yes would there be any room to have any tank mates at all? If yes what kind? Thank you in advance. There is a person here selling a 20 gallon for $40 including stand. Rams are the only thing I am looking to do at the moment though...

I bought two new bettas several weeks ago. I put one each in my shrimp tanks. 1 in a 5 gallon with only shrimp. 1 in a 10 gallon with shrimp and a mystery snail. The betta in the 10 gallon is eating really well. 5-6 pellets a day. So I am not concerned about him. The betta in the 5 gallon...

Okay first question. Can anyone tell me about shelldwellers? What size tanks they do best in. What they need care wise. I know nothing about them but find them really interesting. Second question. What would be good tank mates for a pair of Blue German Rams? Tank would be 29 gallon. Live...

So I recently had a betta die that I had for 4 years. He was in a 10 gallon tank with a Mystery snail and a small group of RCS. Since he dided I have moved the group of RCS and the snail into my dedicated shrimp tank. So I have an empty 10 gallon I would like to do something fun with. What...

Hey guys. I am going to be setting up a 29 gallon tank. Most likely live planted with driftwood and/or rocks. What would be a nice community stock? Maybe something with a Firemouth cichlid or Rams? Also please give me numbers because I am not really sure what the stocking numbers should be.

I have an empty 29 gallon tank. I was thinking of putting Rams in it. Do you guys have any recs on how many pairs of rams could go in a 29 gallon and what else I could put in with them?

Can I get some recs on stuff I can keep in a 10 gallon tank other than a betta or puffer? I have an empty one I want to do something interesting with and I already have a shrimp tank.

MY betta isn't eating and has been acting strange. He is two years old (that I have had him). He has always been an eager eater but hasn't eaten for the past 2 days. He is also favoring one corner of the tank which isn't normal for him. He has never been sick in the past. He hasn't been rubbing...

What do you guys think is better? Sand or gravel? I am setting up a 55 gallon and cant seem to decide. It will be live planted (I will fertilize of course). I will clean it with a vacuum syphon. Also any advice and pointers on sand would be appreciated. I have done lots of gravel bottoms...

My small 3 gallon Betta tank has been infested with pond snails. I tried assassin snails hoping it would help but they don't seem to be making a dent. I have been picking them out when I can and that helps some but not really much. What can I use to kill these pond snails that wont hurt my fish...

Would a 70 gallon Aquaclear filter be okay on a 55 gallon tank? Or should do 2 50 gallon filters?

Does anyone here have the Rena Smartfilter? It is on sale on Amazon today and I was considering getting one. Are they good? Also would be it overkill to have 2 55 gallon filters on 1 55 gallon tank?

I need a 10 gallon filter. The one I have now is going out. So I thought I would as for recs and see what you guys like before I replace it. The tanks is a standard 10 gallon. Live planted. Occupants are 1 Betta, 5 Neon Tetras, 2 apple snails, and just a couple RCS that are overflow from my...

I have had my shrimp tank set up for a few motnhs. All is going well my group of 8 is about 20+ now after two maybe even three birthings. I have really been enjoying it but recently I have noticed these little round bugs that are specs. I am thinking they are either seed shrimp or copepods based...

I am setting up a 55 gallon tank and want some corys in it. I have read they prefer sand substrate but I am thinking that might be a bit expensive and I have never had experiecne with sand so i am concerned about vaccuming and other such maintence. So my plan was to do a pea gravel for the...

Hello, I have been keeping fish for several years but have only ever done freshwater tanks. I have an empty 29 gallon tank and was considering converting it into a saltwater tank. I really don't know anything about slatwater tanks other than they are more expensive and harder than freshwater...

Basically just what the heading says. I recently got 2 baby Mystery Snails. There are a bunch of diatoms in the tank and I have been leaving the plants leaves that die in there for a while. I just want to make sure they do actually eat diatoms and I am not accidentally starving them or...
