    I'm trying to convince my parents that aquariums are safe, help me!

    Ok, so I moved back home after college :mad: and I want to buy a larger aquarium. I want something in the neighborhood of 55 gallons. Since this is my dad's house, he has to approve of these kinds of things. He doesn't want to get one because of the possibility of the tank breaking or leaking...

    How do I get rid of this algae??

    I have a 10 gallon planted tank that I've had in operation for about 2.5 years. Recently I've developed a big problem with a specific type of algae, most notably in the past few months after I upgraded my lighting from a 15w fluorescent to 2 20w CFLs. The upgrade really improved the way my...

    My aquarium's history and a question about lighting

    Before I ask my question I'd like to talk about my aquarium for a little while. I've had this 10 gallon aquarium for about 3 years. I got it when I was a freshman in college. I couldn't have any larger than a 10 gallon aquarium in the dorms, and that's what I got. I'm now in an apartment and...

    Anybody know what kind of shrimp this is?

    About 8 weeks ago I went to my local aquarium store looking to buy a couple of plants. They had just gotten a new shipment in and they were really busy, so they didn't have much time to help me (which is okay, I didnt want any specifically). Anyway, I was looking around and I ended up buying 2...

    I'm sure this isnt a problem but I've never seen it before..

    I've had a 10 gallon tank since about last february. I didnt do so well at first with fish keeping, but I've gotten better and have had a well established and healthy tank since about July. I was doing a water change today and I noticed in the water that I vacuumed out of the tank that there...

    So my girlfriend gave me her betta fish to take care of

    My girlfriend gave me her betta fish to take care of for a few weeks until she comes back home for the holidays, because she brought it home for thanksgiving and didnt want to subject the fish to more 3 hour car trips than necessary. She just gave me the fish in a tupperware thing. I'm sure...

    Anyone have any idea what kind of fish this is?

    I recieved this fish at the same time as two other fish who I have recently had to give away. I got it because at the time the fish was very small and the store owner that got the fish out of the tank for me did not notice him. As a result I have no idea what kind of fish it is. I've had it...

    Site settings

    Hi, I'm new to the site. I found this place through google. I think I'll like this forum, but I have a few concerns about the site. 1)How do I change the number of posts per page that I can view? 2)Is it possible to change all the text to left aligned? I don't like posting everything...

    Somewhat new to this hobby, looking for comments and advice

    I got into this hobby about 6 months ago. I got a 10 gallon tank for my dorm room (not a lot of room) and got a couple of fancy goldfish. They did alright for about 4 months, then they both died within about a month of each other. Don't really know why. I kept pretty good track of ammonia...
