Is it possible that a dwarf gourami could eat a zebra danio? Looking at them it doesn't seem so, but I have 3 missing danios and no other ideas!

So it is 12 degrees outside where I live and our power was out for quite a while this morning. I was really worried that the fish might get too cold. Is there anything that can be done in a situation like this? Luckily the power is back on and everyone is fine, but I'm wondering if there is...

So I know I'm not supposed to change my filter very often, but at some point I'm gonna have to change it. How often is good and do I need to do anything special to prep the new filter? I'm terrified of losing the biological filter when I do a change. My tank has been running for just over 3...

How soon after a water change do I test the parameters again? When I tested this morning my ammonia and nitrates were high (.25 and 40ppm respectively) so I'm getting ready to do a 50% wc. My levels are not usually this high before my weekly Sunday wc, which is usually between 30 and 50%, but...

How do shrimp figure in to stocking? If I am at capacity with fish should I skip shrimp, or do shrimp help? How many shrimp are recommended for 29 gallon tank? I think they look cool, but I need to learn more about how to care for them.

I have a 29 gallon with penguin 350 filter. It is currently moderately planted with plans for it to be heavily planted (all live). Tank has been up and running for 3 months with the only issue being one round of ick ( I don't have a QT tank and the disease came after adding new stock) which I...

Is there a rough estimate for how long it takes for a fish to become full grown or does it vary widely from one species to the next?

My tank is up and running and cycled and has fish in it that are doing well. I'd like to add a school of about 8 danios (I'm thinking zebra) next. Since my tank is established can I add them all at once or do I need to still only do max 4 at a time? If I do 4 now, 4 later is there a chance...

Have a 29 gallon with 75 gallon bio wheel filter. I'm planning to have 5 ghost cats 5 fancy skirt tetra 1 dwarf gourami It was suggested that I could add some Cory cats but I don't care for them too much. I'm assuming I'll need some top or bottom swimmers since my mid has quite a few already...

Do you vacuum your gravel every time you change water? I'm planning on weekly 25% water changes once my tank is stocked but wondering if it's necessary to vacuum every time. At full stocking I'll have in a 29 gallon tank 5 ghost catfish 5 fancy skirt tetra 1 dwarf gourami (Wondering what...

I read in the startup guide at the top of this forum that I should add the amount of dechlorinator for my whole tank size and not just the amount of water I'm changing out. I'm just curious why that is.

I am a very new fish tank owner and am learning a lot as I go. My goal is to make the fish I currently have as happy as possible while not overloading my tank. I have a 29 gallon tank with a 75 gallon bio wheel filter. Right now I have in the tank: 1 rainbow shark 1 blue dwarf gourami 1 ghost...
