Hello everyone! After a big move from MA to NC I am finally ready to set up my tank again =] So far I have cleaned up my tank and got an amazing deal on a stand. This build might go a little slow because I am trying to not spend all my money at once. The next step is substrate but first let me...

So yesterday morning my fish seemed fine and then last night when I got home from work they were all dead/ dying. It was definitely some kind of fungal infection or bacteria because they were covered in whitish/clearish stuff that seemed to eat away at their fins the most but also the rest of...

I am moving to Worcester today and taking my freshwater tank with me. I have heard horrible things about the water quality there so I am concerned for my fish. Can anyone tell me if they have ever had problems with the town water or if it's fine for the fish? Sent from my iPod touch using...

I bought a marimo moss ball and it looks like it's covered in eggs. Are they snail eggs? It's been in my tank for 2 days now. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Finally the Petco dollar per gallon sale started today! So I bought myself a 20 gallon long to upgrade from my 10. I hope to make a larger upgrade in the future but for now this is the best I can do. I've been wanting to start a journal and this is only my second tank so I will definitely still...

Looking to buy an air pump but would like a quiet one because my tank is in my bedroom. Was wondering if I could get some recommendations from people with more years of experience in the hobby?

Finally got my tank looking really nice and how I imagined it. I'm very happy with it :)

I've noticed one of my zebra danios is not swimming very well. Her tail droops down and sometimes she swims a little crooked. She is still eating but I'm worried I'm going to find her dead. Does anybody know what might be the cause of this? A few months ago she got stuck in a little flower pot...

My zebra danios have been breeding like crazy. I figured most of the eggs got eaten but when I vacuumed the gravel I noticed a lot of fry and eggs in my bucket. So I had to save them. I put them in my 3 gallon and have been feeding them but I have at least 50 in there! I just don't have the...

My betta is dying. I don't think he has much time. The past week I've noticed him spending a lot more time laying at the bottom but he would still get excited whenever I got close to the tank. But now just overnight he has lost all of his color and is barely moving around. I keep him in a 3...

Here is my new tank! Not much in it yet. Still a work in progress. I am doing a fish in cycle with 3 zebra danios. They are healthy and doing well! Tank has been set up for a week now and I've been wondering about how long it takes to see a nitrite reading? I used seachems stability to get it...

One of my zebra danios keeps swimming along the glass of my 10 gallon tank. She looks like a spazz going up and down and all directions along the sides of the aquarium. My other danios are acting normal. Besides this odd behavior she seems healthy and is eating. Any ideas what this might mean?

I am new to this hobby and for my first 10 gallon tank I want to keep the plants really simple. I'm planning on getting just a java fern and a couple moss balls. So what will I need to keep them healthy? Do I need to buy fertilizers or CO2 booster? If so what brands would you guys recommend? I...

So my friend no longer wanted her fish tank and offered it to me which is great because I've been really interested in starting this new hobby! Problem is it's been in her basement for a while so there's mold on it. I know you're not suppose to use soap so how should I clean this? There's mold...

I'm sorry if this may be a dumb question but I plan on starting an aquarium and have been reading everything before I start but I haven't found the answer to this one question. When you do a water change does the temperature of the new water need to be the same as in the tank? My guess would be...
