Yeah it weirds me out still. I'm sure I'll get to a point where I think it's adorable. My smallest guppy is the most aggressive with me. :)

I need to catch up in my additions! A bit ago I added a red tail loach and two African dwarf frogs, and more recently I've added 3 mollies (2 are lyre tail) and 3 tiny endlers. I also have a couple feeder fish for the cycling process in my 20 gallon. (Early stages in prep for an axolotl).

Oh wow. Ok, so mine aren't were then. Lol. That's good

That's interesting.... I have a burn scar where they bite. Coincidence I'm sure.

That would creep me out. I don't think I'll be putting those in my tank.

Maybe this is not the correct place to post this question, please redirect if necessary. Why is it my guppies try to nibble at my arm when I'm moving stuff around in the tank or when I'm cleaning? Every single time I'm in there.. at least one or two of them (there are 6) come in for a bite...

Bought and put in 3 new plants: green cabomba, ceratopteris, and anubias nana. Am currently drip acclimating 3 new guppies.

Ah! Ok. Might be worth getting some in the future. I now have 4 males and I don't want too many guppies so I'll have to wait. Great advice!

I heard they were great as a treat for bettas. It's not a problem to stay away from them. Thanks

I definitely don't want any females in the tank or I would be littered with fry. I'm not in a position to raise them and I don't know anyone with an aquarium to give/sell them to. So I have all male fancy guppies. I didn't think the fish was weak but perhaps he other sense what I can't see...

Oh they do! I'm ordering some for when they're in season.

oh goodness. well, I guess that's it then. There is another one now being picked on by two others. He doesn't seem ill whatsoever so, maybe they're just playing.. it seems like he's under constant chase.

no he didn't jump out... there's really no where for him to get out. Everything's pretty tight. I've shone a flashlight into the plants and everything... I thought maybe he was eaten. Ammonia levels aren't higher than they were last night.. and I can't find any body parts at all. Checked...

.... well I can't say for sure he's dead... because I can't find him. Is it possible the others sensed he was weak and ate him already.. in a 10 hour time span? He's just gone

We wanted a freshwater aquarium firstly because we're new to this and knew saltwater was far above our heads. There are so many fish we love that are freshwater so it really was an easy decision. :)

I really like the Lyretail Panchanx... we just call it the killifish here. They'll be in season next month or so... can't wait.

Canadian prices Aquariums can be pricy in Canada too, depends really. Even though I bought used, I got a 20 gallon with substrate and filter and a nice stand for $40. (that was quite cheap) I found a great American website which ships to Canada for basically anything I could ever need.. and...

Today I did a 30%WC, ended up using too much water conditioner, (got some better advice on it) and am now caring for a guppy who's a bit off, (posted elsewhere). Did a bunch of research and window shopping for materials in preparation of having an axolotl.

I did a bit of research and from pictures of other fish and other peoples' descriptions, he may be constipated. Apparently it's possible for freeze dried foods to cause this problem. So I cooked a green pea and mushed it up some and put it in the tank. He ate it no problem... except for the...

I've had the tank running for 2 weeks, with fish for one. He's just sitting at the top of the tank, and seems to have a buldge he didn't have yesterday. Ammonia levels were high before I did my 30% WC at 1. After the change it's a 0.5 Nitrite and nitrate are 0, ph is 7.5, water temp is 78F...

Didn't do anything with the 30 gallon today... But we did but another tank! This time a 20 gallon.

Oh interesting! I won't have to worry about fry as I'm not having both sexes of any type of fish... Not at this point anyhow. What I have for lighting is the aqua-Glo 20w which says its suitable for freshwater aquariums and planted aquariums. It's the T8. I'll look up pics for the hard to kill...

well I guess I'm still out of luck. I decided to go with the plastic plants, because I'm very new to this and wanted to become accustomed to caring for the fish before I decided to try to keep plants alive. There's no green thumb here! Now looking at my tank.. sure it's colourful, but it's...

I worry with those, because they're a type of cichlid. I don't have the cave space for them.

This tank is going to be the "pretty fish" tank. I'll do some research and see what these all look like, their sizes and how many to put together etc. I have seen the panda cory and think they're beautiful. While I like some of the cichlids, I don't feel I have a large enough tank for them to...
