    Possible ick on my platys?

    I picked up a handful of sunburst and red platys yesterday and put them in my planted 10 gallon...I inspected them before I put them in the tank and as soon as I put them in I noticed one of the red guys had a big white spot on its side. I'm not sure if it's ick, it looks like it was attacked...

    Lighting Question

    So I just got my finnex fugeray-r light in the mail today...and I have 2 questions about it. It says it has 3 settings on it, but I only see 2...red and white, and just red. Now this is only a 5 watt light and I put it on my 10 gallon planted. Is this sufficient lighting or should I put this on...

    Need driftwood!!! Help

    I'm looking for a nice small piece of driftwood to put in my 3 gallon cube, but not sure where to find a decent, inexpensive piece. Also, I know a spot where there's tons of it on a beach near me, but I read not to do that. Help?

    Plant advice for a 3 gallon cube?

    So I finally got my fluval stratum and fluval mini compact 13w light in the mail yesterday...now all that's left is plants. This is my first planted aquarium so I need a little advice on what plants I should consider. I have a 10" 3 gallon cube, and I was thinking about doing an iwagumi setup...

    Cory & betta community update

    So I put 3 leopard corys in with my VT betta in my 3 gallon tank last night, which I was very hesitant to do considering the size of my tank...but I went ahead with it anyway. At first my betta was a little aggressive towards them, they didn't move around much and stayed at the bottom in a...

    Got my betta some tankmates tonight...

    I went to check out the new petco by my house tonight with the girlfriend and ended up getting 3 small peppered corys to put in my betta tank...along with some sand because the gravel would've damaged their barbels, and a silk plant just in case they needed to flee from him. So far so good, my...

    New filter and heater, finally!!

    So I've had my betta for a little over a month now, he was in a half gallon glass bowl with no filter or heater and I felt terrible. I finally got him a little 3 gallon cube about a week and a half ago which came with a whisper 3i filter and a small set of LED lights, but still no heater. Poor...

    New to the aquarium world, advice?

    Hey guys, so I just started up a small 3 gallon because I needed something bigger for my betta that was in a tiny half gallon bowl. I bought a cheap tetra setup that came with a whisper 3i filter (which I'm not too thrilled with) and a small LED light. I need to get a heater ASAP for him since...
