Hello, I'm building my little 20g community and have a good idea of what I'm after, just checking with the experts in here. Its a planted tank with eco complete substrate. I have a Bristlenose pleco and 10 neons in there at the moment. I am just a little unsure of a bottom feeder. I really...

I have finally set up a nicely planted 20gal but now I'm having an algae problem spreading on my driftwood and onto my plants. Pleco can't seem to keep up with it either. Not sure what to do so I am open to some advice before I throw it in a put and boil it. Some well established Java fern is on...

I have been doing a little reading about this but thought I would ask for peoples experiences with having a male beta with one or more females. I have a 20gal community with a young male beta, 3 Cory's, a BN Pleco, 2 Mystery snails and a Bamboo shrimp. I recently added a female and at first...

I changed my substrate a few weeks back and now I'm noticing a bunch of little snails all over my tank. I got the substrate used (eco complete) and I'm sure its where they came from as there are of bunch of tiny shells in the rocks. I tried catching them to remove but they're too tiny so I'm...

Here is my newly renovated 20gal setup. So far the stock is 4 Julii Cory's, a Bamboo Shrimp and a really cool young Crown tail Betta. Probably add a couple Mystery Snails in next couple weeks and that's it. Will post more pics when I get good ones with the betta posing. Sent from my Nexus 5...

Been dealing with water conditions not as clean as I like since switching over to goldfish from tropical. Woke up this morning to find some weird looking white film on a couple of my fish. Anyone have an idea what this is? I did a 50% water change on Sat and gonna do another today as well as...

I got sick of my tropical tank and decided to go with something bright and easy. Now I'm glad I did this it one of the nicest tank I've had, well it is the nicest. 1 red cap Or and a and 3 red Ryuken. I was thinking of adding a Black Moor but I'll hold off for now I just got these guys today...

Hey all, I'm in the process of selling/giving away my current stock in my 55g. I saw a Selegal Bichir in a local shop and think they are suck a cool looking fish. Been doing some research on them and I'm sure I'll like one in my tank but the main question is regarding tank mates. So far the...

Firstly thanks to everyone who contributes on here. I only got to where I'm at with fish keeping because of this site. Here is my 55g planted tank. I think I'm getting close to how I want it set up though I may change a few plants and add more driftwood. Right now for stock I have: 1 -...

Here is my new 55g planted tank. I literally just transfered my plants and fish over less than 48hrs ago from my 29g so its still in progress. I'm completely open to suggestions on plant and fish stocking, actually that's what I would like. I want to stay mostly with natural decor so the log and...

Hi, Next week I will be upgrading my current planted 29g to a 55g so I would also like to get all the plant food and treatment chemicals down to the proper set up while I'm at it. Currently I use Seachem Neutral Regulator to treat the water and the I use Seachem Equilibrium for plant food...

Hi all, I've been taking care of a 29gal for a few months now. Had some downs but after doing a little research and asking questions here things seem to be fine. I'm ready to upgrade and have been looking at 75-90gal tanks. I've come across what seems like good deals on Craigslist but want some...

Hi just as the title says, just a simple question. Right now I have a 29gal with some Cory's and soon I'm adding a school of tetras and a couple dwarf gourami. I want to eventually get a cichlid tank and was browsing on craigslist for the heck of it and came across a 90gal bow front w/stand...

I decided last week to start over and do it right by beginning with a fish less cycle. I read a little on it and went for it using the bottle Cycle. I'm on day three now which I believe is the last day I add cycle. I took some reading yesterday just to get a feel for the new API master test...

Hi I'm decided to hit the reset button on my aquarium and try doing this right from the beginning. I ended up giving a bunch of fish away because I didn't know what I was doing and got frustrated. After reading threads here and doing a little research I'm ready to give this another go. Right...

Hi I recently decided to try building a cool aquarium with some neat looking fish in it. For about 2 months I've had a 29gal beginner setup kit. I have had no deaths but I did have to give away my Beta and return 3 of 4 Angels. I dove right in going by the opinion of the dealer and doing no...

About 2 months ago I decided to get a Beta and put him in a really cool empty crystal skull vodka bottle. Since then I got a 29g beginner setup with a few different fish. Nobody told me this was such a cool little hobby. I started with a bad mix of fish but no fish were killed thankfully lol...
