    Unhealthy betta?

    My betta has recently been sitting on the bottom of my tank. She doesn't look bloated or like any things wrong. She comes up for air when needed. Let me know what you think

    Algae on live plants

    I've been struggling with algae growing on my plants for a while now and I'm not completely sure what do to. My tank is cleaned almost weekly and haven't had a fish die in about a year. It's a 10 gallon with 6 neons, 2 black neons, a female betta, and some MTS. I'm thinking of getting some more...

    Do I need a protien skimmer?? Just corals

    I'm gonna be getting a reef tank in the near future and I'm only planning on doing a coral tank. As this will be my first reef tank, I'm planning on doing a 10 gallon tank. Question is do I really need a protein skimmer if all I'm putting in are corals and no fish?? Hope to get some replies! Thanks

    Vacation

    I'm going to be getting a nano reef with corals only. We go on vacation quite a bit and I'm wondering how long corals (eg zoas) could go without maintenance. I would really appreciate your replies on this one!! Thanks

    Do I need a sump?

    I'm gonna be starting a reef tank soon and I'm wondering if I need a sump or not. I'm planning on having a 10 gallon (maybe a little bigger) tank with a hang on back filter. No fish for now just wanting coral. Let me know what you think!

    Ro di experience

    Soo I'm getting a reef tank soon! Just some questions on how other people do with their ro di systems. Is it a pain to use or pretty easy for the most part. Any tips or tricks? Hope to get some replies!

    Tap water for reef

    I think I'm going to start an nano reef tank soon and I'm pretty excited. I've been doing lots of research and looking on YouTube and some people only use reverse osmosis water for their reef tank. Does anybody know if I can use tap water instead?? I live in Alberta Canada if that makes any...

    How hard is it to keep nano cube?

    I'm thinking of maybe starting a reef nano cube. I've had freshwater fish for the last 2 years with great success. I love the ocean so much and want a little piece of it with me. I figured a nano cube is a bit easier than a full on tank because the filtration is compacted. I would really...

    Neon tetra full of eggs?

    I've noticed that some of my neons have been looking different under their bellies lately. I'm pretty sure these are eggs. Can someone help verify this for me? Thanks

    Whats up with my neon

    I noticed I have 2 neons with this small thing just under their mouth. They are acting perfectly normal, schooling, and courting with the other neons. I just don't know if this is harmful or needs to be treated. Any suggestions?

    Neon tetra eggs!!!

    This morning I turned on my fish tank lights as usual, fed my fish, and then watched them for a bit. I noticed my neons were all swimming together really fast. Suddenly, two were right up against each other and the next thing I knew it sprayed eggs! Sadly I think all the other fish ate them...

    Nitrogen cycle in betta tank?

    I'm probably gonna start up a 10 gallon betta tank sometime soon but I don't know if a tank that size has to cycle before you add the betta. I remember with the small tank I had years ago I just put it in when I bought the tank.

    Spot on neon tetra??

    I've noticed this spot on my neon and I'm not sure what it is. I got it last weekend and it seems to be fine and all the other fish do. I just don't know if this could be harmful or if it's nothing. Thanks

    Beginner neon tetra advice??

    I'm getting neons tomorrow and wondering if there's anything I should really look out for. I have 2 black neons from a couple years ago and some guppies too. I've been looking forward to getting these for a year. Idk why I didn't get them but whatever. Just did a 50% water change and gravel...

    Putting up a betta tank

    So I'm thinking of putting up a small betta tank in my room. Should I take water and rocks from my 10 gallon tank and put it in the betta tank? I'm not sure if those little tanks have to cycle and everything first and then you put the fish in or not

    Switching guppies to neons

    I'm getting tired of having so many guppies all the time and want to get something smaller. I currently have a 10 gallon tank with about 15 guppies (4 adults and the rest juveniles) which has been running for a year and a half. How should I introduce my neons? Should I take half 5 guppies out...

    Good plant recovery

    Today, this will be my third week and third dose of nutrafin plant gro. Before, my penny wart plants were looking sick and the tips were dying. Now, they have healthy new growth! I'm so happy and can't wait to see how they will look when they fully grow in.

    What to do now

    I had my favourite guppy die today for unknown reasons. It was laying on the gravel for the past couple weeks and finally past away. I'm not sure why he died but I don't think it's contagious. What do I do now? Should I do a water change or will the tank be fine as is
