As an experiment I tossed a female guppy in with some male endler's live bearers. One of the males born is just, well, he's really special! He's got a very neat fringy end to his tail that, combined with the orange-red coloring, looks a bit like he's on fire. I'd very much like to try and...

It's PWC day here at my house and I noticed something odd. I've three tanks, two 10gal, one with guppies, one with endlers, and a 47gal bow-front, mixed community (threadfin rainbows, zebra danios, harlequin raspboars, peppered cories, golden panda mollies, and a pleco.). Both 10gal tanks...

I have three tanks: A Ten gallon planted guppy & black phantom tetras, A five gallon planted with endlers, and a fourty-six gallon bow-front community tank. All parameters are normal, all fish healthy. The 46 gallon is a little overstocked, but I'm religious about keeping an eye on my water...

Today, after spotting what looked like eyes in my square-shaped female guppy I had to admit what I was denying: she's very, very pregnant. I've now moved her to a breeder net and I clipped some plants from an overgrown spot in my tank so she's got some greenery to hang out in (and the fry have...

I have a planted 5 gallon tank with about ten crystal red shrimp in it (they are really really hard to count!). I was doing my water change today and it occurred to me that maybe I don't need to do it weekly the way I do my normal tropical fish tank. How often do you change the water on your...

My husband and I have purchased a 46 gallon bow-front tank. So far all it has in it is lights and nothing else. I was hoping someone would have some suggestions for the best equipment to buy as we start setting this sucker up as a tropical community tank. The largest tank I have is a 10 gallon...

My shrimp have been settled into their tank for about two weeks, maybe a little longer, and the whole time they've been a super mellow bunch. Today, though, they are going insane swimming all over the tank and I saw what looked like two shrimp chasing another one, which seemed really unusual...

I'm sharing this here only because if I say this to anyone I know they won't understand what I'm so excited about: MY TANKS HAVE CYCLED! WOOOO!:dance: Came home today and grabbed my master test kit and did the tests, already mentally preparing myself to haul the five gallon bucket across the...

Hi! I'm setting up a little planted 5.5 gallon planted shrimp tank. My plan is to keep crystal red shrimp in it, but I think I'd like to have a fish or two in there, too, as it's really turned out to be a beautiful little tank. What fish are shrimp friendly? Would a guppy try to eat them? Or a...

Hi Ya'll! I'm sure you're sick of cycling questions but I'm a little perplexed. I'm cycling a new five gallon tank and I've never deliberately cycled a tank (I've only been keeping fish for about seven or eight months now). I decided I'd do this tank right from the start, so I seeded it with...

Hi! I have a 10 gallon tank with a couple of plants and five black phantom tetras, a male dwarf gourami, and a female honey gourami. Parameters are <.25 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 5.0 nitrate. The slightly elevated ammonia is due to a serious bio-load crash after I treated fin rot on the...

Hi! I have a 10 gallon planted tank (I honestly can't remember the kind of plants, or I'd say) with 5 black phantom tetras, a platy, a male dwarf gourami and a female honey gourami. The tank's temperature is currently at 81 degrees. A few weeks ago, my tank got ichk (probably came in on a new...
