    Lighting for open-top tank?

    I have a 20 gallon long aquarium. As hoods are expensive (and with shipping it might become quite expensive) I was thinking of using a clip-on light to have at the edge of the tank. It's lightly planted so I don't need anything terribly strong. Just something to help the plants grow a little...

    Is my Pimafix medication old?

    I have Pimafix which I bought perhaps a year ago. I noticed a tiny bit of fuzz on one of my fish so decided to use what I have to treat the whole tank. The medication is a cloudy color. I can't remember what color it is meant to be. Is this safe to medicate my tank with?

    Cherry Barbs as community fish?

    I had 5 or 6 cherry barbs with a double tailed betta in a ten gallon aquarium (in the past) and I never had problems with them. Perhaps if you add to the group it will lessen any aggression. I had more females than males so that is something else to check.

    What fish in 20G long with betta?

    I have a 20 gallon long aquarium with a male betta and four young platies. Any suggestions on what to add? The gravel is rocky so ill be adding ghost shrimp (instead of corydoras).

    Will gold barbs nip plakat betta?

    I have a new 20 gallon long aquarium and I want to get a shoal of gold barbs (7 or 8). If I move my large plakat male betta from my five gallon to give him more room, will he be nipped? He is quite large (contrary to the picture) and seems to handle stress better than my other bettas (from...

    20G long stocking ideas with aggressive betta?

    I bought a new 20 gallon long aquarium which seems huge compared to the 5 and 10 gallons I've kept for a few years. Currently I have two bettas in a divided 5 gallon, so even though I would like to get barbs for the 20G I think it's only right to put one of the bettas in so that they each have...

    Can I use coconut fibre substrate in betta planted aquarium?

    I currently have three male bettas, all tanks heavily planted with Elodea (I know, not the most exciting plant, but I can't find anything else!). The tanks are 2, 5, and 10 gallons. I was thinking of setting up a 20 gallon long with dividers to house all my three bettas together so that when I...

    Using coconut substrate to lower Ph?

    I want to lower the Ph of my 5 gallon aquarium as it is quite high, about 8. I don't think my betta really likes it as the rest of the aquarium perimeters are fine, however he seems to be clamping his fins a little. He is in a 5 gallon aquarium. He has a piece of bog-wood but I have boiled it...

    Fun Poll: How many fish do you currently have ?

    I have: 3 male bettas (one in a 5 gallon, one in a ten gallon, and one in a temporary 2 gallon). A female ghost shrimp (in my five gallon). 5 baby platies (growing up in the 5 gallon, will be transferred when older). I am setting up an aquaponics system so more fish will be on the way!

    Is Api Ph Down safe for fish and shrimp?

    My 5 gallon betta tank is at a Ph of 7.8 (it's the fault of the tap water). As he seems to be clamping his fins a bit more often I've thought that perhaps the Ph is too high (as the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate is at 0). Is this safe to use if I slowly introduce lowed Ph water through partial...

    Hello!

    Hi! I'm Sara and I've been passionate about aquariums since my mum gave me a tank for Christmas 4 years ago. Even though I don't have any large aquariums, I've experimented a lot with nano (10 gallons or less) aquariums and used to have two large ponds with tropical fish. After moving country...
