They are a week and a day old. I have 9, about 3-4 are showing black on their tails and a couple have black on all fins. I thought they weren't suppose to show color for another couple weeks? And are these most likely males? They are in their own 5gal, temp is a steady 80. Filter is on the...

Have a 16gal with Marineland LED light bar. It was on for 6 hours but I had to cut back to 4 1/2 hours because of algae. I have plants that are thriving with this amount of light and don't want to cut back again, but the algae is also thriving... I can rub it off with my fingers but it just...

I originally got 7 guppy/Endler hybrids and added to my new tank. The biggest pregnant female's tail fin started to disappear and turn white (pictures in my album). And another died; this was a month ago. Since then I've done weekly 50% water changes and added salt. (Tablespoon per 5gallons)...

They're in a 5 gal, filled 6" with water, temperature is 80 degrees. The male has built a bubble nest under a styrofoam cup, the female is full with eggs. They are clearly interested in each other. The female puts her head down and even nips him but they will not go under the bubble nest and...

So I got a long 20 gallon and the light doesn't work. I bought a new bulb and figured out it was the hood. I emailed the guy and he said "See that little tiny disc by the light bulb? It's white. It is that piece. It is about $2." I think he's talking about this but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell...

Just found a free long 20 gallon with stand, filter, heater, plants, fish! Drove 40 minutes to get it and I'm super excited! There are neon tetras, tiger barbs, different types of platys that I can see and a pretty big amazon sword plant. Needs a really good cleaning but I can't wait to set it...

I introduced my male to my new female (That's a bit smaller than he is). He built a huge bubble nest. I put her in a clear cup, hes circling, flaring, obviously wanting to breed. But she just sits there, not interested at all. I've been feeding them both freeze dried bloodworms and pellets...

Going to have mostly guppies and will get some shrimp. What kind of filter should I get? I want an external one but have never had one before. I've looked at fluvals but they're pricey. If I were to get a fluval would one for a 40 gal be too much power/flow?

Bought this guy at Petco, was sold as a Veiltail but it looks like it could be mixed with a Spade? Also the color is a burnt orange. Have never seen this color before, have you?

My Guppy/Endler is birthing babies. My tank leaked so all my fish are currently in a 5 gallon until the sealant dries. It's hard to catch them without messing everything up! Everyone post your baby pics!

Went to the beach today and grabbed some. How do I clean it?

My $350 innovative marine tank is leaking on the bottom corners. What's the best aquarium sealant to use?

Okay so I'm definitely not paying $22 for a 10lb bag at Petsmart when I would need two bags. I went to Home Depot, Lowes, and a couple pool stores for white pool filter sand. No one carries the white. I desperately want white and don't want to have to settle for tan. Can someone point me in...

Okay so, I had 9 Guppies in my tank, bought a few more from Petsmart and apparently they had a horrible case of fin rot. Within 24 hours all of my Guppies were dead despite trying to save the last few with Tetra Fungus Guard. I cleaned out the tank, washed the gravel, but forgot to rinse off...

I'm getting my 5 gallon set up. I have 6 female Guppy/Endler crosses. I have a mini Aqueon heater (un-adjustable) And the temperature is 82-84. I plan on adding a couple Male Guppies. Also, I heard the hybrids are not fertile. Is this true?

I recently found homes for all my Goldfish and now my tank is so empty! I have a few live plants and a single glo fish. I'd like to try and breed some fish but have no idea what kind to get since I only have a 16gal. Any ideas welcome(:
