Hello all, I was able to safely rehome my Endlers in my main aquarium so now it is empty of fish and ready for the Dwarf Pea Puffers. The aquarium is 25 gallons. How many Dwarf Pea Puffers should I buy? I know they like to shoal so I am trying to get the numbers just right. I would also...

I am currently running a 25 gallon planted aquarium (pictured below) with F1 Black Bar Endlers. I would like a new challenge as I have been breeding these F1 Black Bar Endlers for 4-5 years now and am really liking the Dwarf Pea Puffers. I am seeing some conflicting online information on them...

After breeding Black Bar Endlers for the past 4-5 years I would like a new challenge. I think I settled on Dwarf Pea puffers and I know those need to be in a species only aquarium. So with that I need to rehome the Endlers I have. I am uncomfortable shipping these fish so does anyone live in...

Good morning all, It has been a while since I have posted. For the past 18 months I have had issues with BBA. To the point of where every single day I have to pick out substrate infected with it to boil it to kill it to keep the BBA from getting out of hand. I also have to pick off leaves...

Hello all. It has been a while! I am looking to buy Class N Black Bar Endlers and was really attracted to the thought of becoming registered. I see that Adrian Hernandez is the one who runs it, but his website and anything else related to him is shut down. Where can I still buy pure strain...

Good morning all, Last week we refinished our wood floors, which meant I had zero access to my main aquarium on the second floor. I took the precaution of moving all of my fish into a 10 gallon QT tank in the basement with me. I intentionally left my snails in the main tank to keep the...

Good afternoon all, It has been a while since I have posted! We are redoing the wood floors on the main level of our home. My aquarium is on the second floor. I was told when they start, I will not have access to the second floor for a week. My question is two fold: Will my fish be okay...

Good morning, With my fish population waning a little bit, I am starting to consider restocking my aquarium soon. I currently have a honey Gourami, 4 Neon Tetras, 1 clown pleco, and 3 nerite snails. My aquarium is a 25 gallon. I am wanting to add a pair of Scarlet Badis and Cardinal Tetras...

Good afternoon all, A few months ago I noticed gunk would form on the silicone down the corners of my tank as well as right underneath it. I assume it is pushed under there from the glass cleaning magnet I use. I use a toothbrush to clean the surface, as well as remove what got under the...

Good morning all, I believe my heater is about to go out as it is struggling to keep the temperature above 72 and I am cranking the setting all the way up. I Googled what the best heaters were and got mixed reviews. Has anyone tried the Fluval E-Series heater? Other than the price, it seems...

Hello all, I currently have my CO2 system running and the diffuser is sitting directly below the output nozzle of my filter. I ideally the bubbles would go up and get pushed throughout the tank. The nozzle is a little too far forward and 80% of the bubbles go straight to the surface behind...

As many of you well know by now through my multiple threads created over the months, I decided to rebuild my aquarium. I wanted to share how I did it, along with my mistakes and what I did right so someone after me can learn. I did take the expensive route, so my way may not fit for everyone...

Good afternoon all, I am curious to see if anyone on here uses an auto-doser for their fertilizer? I would like to have the fertilizing automated if possible for situations for when I am out of town for a week and did not know if there were any good options? I looked at previous threads but...

Good morning all, I have been reading up on inline heaters. I like the idea of them, and really like the fact that it takes the heater out of sight. My question, is it worth it? Do any of you use it? Or do you just stick with the standard tube heater in the tank? I have a Fluval 206...

Good morning everyone, I filled up my CO2 tank and it occurred to me that I never really thought about the grade of CO2 that I will put into my aquarium. After some research, I found that there are three grades of CO2: Industrial, Food, and Medical. What grade do you guys use if you even...

Well I need to swallow my pride on this one and admit a HUGE mistake I should have never pulled because I definitely knew better, and feel dumb for doing it. As everyone probably knows because of my multiple threads, I am rebuilding my tank. I have a German Blue Ram in it, among Neon Tetras...

Good morning everyone, As you may have seen from the multiple threads I have created lately, I am in the process of rebuilding my tank from the ground up. I am continuing from having a planted aquarium, but want to take the next step. The tank is now up and running again and the substrate is...

Hello all, I am in the process of completely rebuilding my tank (thread coming soon). I am upgrading everything except the tank. The last step is upgrading the lights and I have narrowed it down to the Finnex Planted+ 24/7 and the Current Satellite+ Pro. Ignoring the price, which one is...

Hello all, I am in the middle of a massive aquarium rebuild and the new setup will have my heater out in the open of the tank (used to be in water column). My question is do you guys put covers on them to protect the fish/snails from getting burned, or is this really not an issue? Thanks!

VorTech Battery Back-up - EcoTech Marine - Bulk Reef Supply Has anyone every used a back-up battery like the one above for their freshwater aquariums? I see saltwater aquarium owners use them, but nothing really on freshwater. Will these work with freshwater pumps and heaters? Are they worth...

Good evening all, I am about to purchase a home. And with that, I was planning on putting my aquarium in the living room for everyone to enjoy. Currently I have it in my bedroom where it has always been. The pros of having it there is I can make the room entirely dark when the lights need to...

Hello all, It sure has been a while since I have posted! I hope everyone is doing well. I have a colony of neon tetras in my tank with my German Blue Rams, Sunset Honey Gourami, and Clown Pleco. I keep having a weird issue. I keep having one neon tetra that vastly overeats and eventually...

Where can you guy genetically pure neon tetras? I am tired of getting unhealthy tetras that are messed up and don't live long. All of the other fish I have I have found Class N, Grade A stuff for. Thank you!

Hello all, So 5 weeks ago my fish started flashing. First it was one fish, then all of them. Here is what I have done so far: For the first 10 days I treated the whole tank with Prazipro assuming they had flukes. In that time span I did one 50% water change and re-dosed. That didn't do...

Hello All, I have a 25 Gallon Fluval Accent tank with a breeding pair of German Blue Rams, Neon Tetras, Glolight Tetras (not the blacklight kind), Clown Pleco and nerite snails in it. It is also planted and has been running for 2 years now. A few weeks ago I added a few tetras so there was...
