Just for fun, since I know more or less what my plans are. I have a LOT of aquariums that aren't in use until I remodel my basement for a fish room. My old house makes me weary of putting too much in the higher stories, so I have a storage with aquariums in it. So sad. Anyway, how would you...

I thought it would be interesting to have a post describing what we like and dislike about our Local Fish Stores, and what we wish we would see more often or less of in the industry. So here's mine. Coastal Pet Center Pros: The owner is nice, especially since he knows me well enough to trusts...

I know even the smallest rays (retic and hystrix) can be housed in a 125 gallon, but at what size should they be moved to a larger tank and what is their growth rate like? I haven't spoken to my local provider of such fish, but is it likely that they will trade smaller specimens for larger ones...

I bought a common pleco several days ago and he died today. Cycled tank with the following perams. Temp: 75 degrees F pH: 7.1 Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 0 Alkaline: 4 Hardness: 8 Used question mark at first because his mouth moved but yeah he's a goner. He has like... red under his skin in various...

I'm going to be decorating my bedroom in an Indian (as in The River Ganges Indian... though my boyfriend is American Indian, so I wouldn't be surprised if we do that, too) and I was thinking about setting up a 55 gallon up there with fish native to India, but I find it hard to exactly pinpoint...

I got this little fish (about 1.75"?) from a LFS in a tank just labeled mixed gourami. I thought a honey gourami but she (just seems very feminine to me) looks very pale and not as broad vertically. I think it's my favorite actual fish, I love how gracefully it moved and one time it scared the...

There's a new place in town, not an all around pet store but one specifically for fish! Yay! I've been job searching for awhile. I work at a tribal casino and while I make more than minimum wage hourly, I don't get 40 hour like I used to. New management, we rarely get 30 hours a week. So...

My grandpa's a retired plumber who owned his own business I have a bunch of PVC pipe and some old glass windows. Could I potentially glue the PVC together for the sides, use wood on the bottom, and glass for the front to make an aquarium? If you don't think the PVC would hold by itself, what...

My boyfriends been very helpful in DIY projects and interested in my aquarium, which has honestly been a very bonding experience. So, I'm planning a 30g just for him. He currently has a clown pleco and a blue crayfish in my 55g, but overall I want to stock his that I'm planning as such, which...

Today I got a Hammers Cobalt Blue Lobster as an impulse buy. I also got a honey gourami and a couple more skirt tetras but I know those will be okay. My aquarium is a 55g with a schoal of skirt tetras and a schoal of danios along with a clown pleco, and so the only really new items are the...

Howdy. With a new LFS, specifically one that isn't a all around pet store, that is for freshwater (yay!) and saltwater (double yay!) aquariums, I'm excited to try out the marine side of things. I may be able to get a 100 gal saltwater set up for essentially free, it was offered to me before but...
