I have a 29 gal planted tank and I think I should take the plunge and go with co2. I'm not crafty enough T to do a diy I'd rather just get it all on one box of I can. I don't want to break the bank but don't want crap. Can you point me in the right direction? Sent from an undisclosed location...

Woke up this morning and found a ton of these little guys. I'm assuming they are the Nerite Eggs after a quick Google search. Should I bother with getting them out? Sent from an undisclosed location...

So I'm about a month into my planted tank and I have had a super busy month and admitting I had not done a water change at all. So last Friday I wanted to check the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates in my tank. I have never had any ammonia or nitrites since I've had my tank (before it being...

I just ordered a few sticks of cholla wood for my planted tank and wondered if there is anything I should do to prep it when it comes? I liked the way it looked online and had to get some. I ordered it from Amazon Sent from an undisclosed location...

I have a 29 gallon lightly planted tank with a few various anubias and a ribbon plant (not sure now if that was the best idea) I just bought a new light The National Geographic 24"€ Deluxe Programmable LED Aquarium Light. Since I got the light I have had an algae problem with the brown and...

Just wondering if you all think a black skirt Tetra and a white skirt tetras will shoal together? Right now I have 3 White Skirts and I would like to add more (I lost 1 recently) but would like to add some color to my tank since I have pool filter sand and the white skirts tend to blend in...

Hi all, I'm looking for some tank mates for a 10 gal with some guppies. We just had a bunch of fry and at this point I can't tell if they are male or female and have no other place to put any more fry, so I'm looking for suggestions for maybe a nice tank mate that would like to eat fry as...

Just found this snail on the leaf in my daughters 10 gal. We got some ottos a few months ago and it must have hitched a ride somehow because I have never seen it before. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 29 gal with 4 white skirts, 13 neons, 3 Corycats, and 5 guppies. I want to get a few otos and know they like to school but I can't find what the ideal is. The guppies will be moved to another tank eventually but I'll be using the 10 gal they were in as a quarantine tank. The last time I...

So last night I noticed one of my Albino Cory Cats had turned super white. Normally it is sort of pinkish. It seems to be swimming fine and ate fine this morning when I put an algae tab in. I had missed my weekly water change last week due to busyness and being sick so I did one today. Before I...

So I noticed the other day that one of my daughters guppies was a little crooked but was swimming fine and eating fine. Last night it was way worse and I sort of expected the worst this morning when I woke up and couldn't find her. When I did a water change and moved stuff around I found her and...

So I started this fish adventure a little over a year ago and have come a long way and have learned so much. It all started with a 10 gallon tank for my then 5 year old with a couple of glofish and neon tetras, 2 tanks later and a lot of trial and error. I am ready to take a next step. I...

So I have learned the hard way about having a quarantine tank. :( Last Saturday I bought 2 Otos to introduce to my tank that has been established for well over a year (I obtained it in May this year and it was up and running well before that.) 2 days after I added the fish (just a bag...

Went from a Marineland Penguin350 bio wheel in my 29 gallon tank and I wanted something that wasn't so loud so I got an Aquaclear 50. Before the filter change my ammonia and nitrites were always 0 but my nitrates were usually around 20 which was higher than I really would like but was still in...

I have a 29 gal tank and am contemplating getting some plants but not sure where to start. I have read thru some of the articles above, but still a little lost. Right now I my lighting is a Aqueon 8000K Full Spectrum Daylight 17watt T8 bulb. I have pool filter sand as my substrate. What...

I obtained a new to me 30 gal tank that was already stocked with fish. After researching a little I'm not sure if this is the best setup to keep my new little friends happy. So far there is: 1x Sterbai Cory 1x African Dwarf Frog 1x Glowlight Tetra 4x Giant Danio 1x Serpae Tetra 2x Cherry Barb...

I got a new to me 29 gal completely set up including the fish, but I don't know the names of them. I tried to take some pictures. Any help would be appreciated. :)

I currently have a 10 gal tank and am upgrading to a 30 gal. I bought one from CL that came with a filter and heater and I am learning that they are piles of garbage. I wasn't sure what they were when I got them and now that I am trying to get my tank set up it's not working out. First is...

Well not really a kid but definitely new to aquariums. :) Let me tell you our story so far, I hope I don't bore you. Its been a hit and miss adventure to say the least. My husband decided it would be a good idea to get our 5yo dd a fish tank for her birthday and much to my protest at first...
