I plan on purchasing a 46 gallon bow front tank. I would like to keep 2 fancy goldfish in it. I am aware of the frequent water changes that will be needed since they produce so much ammonia. Would this be an adequate tank size as they grow to full size? Any advice would be appreciated!

I plan on getting a couple of goldfish for my 60 gallon tank. It has been established for years but I want to stock it with goldfish now. Based on my research I could have 3 adult goldfish in a 60 gallon but I want to be cautious and give them plenty of room to grow. I know they produce a lot of...

So I am very upset that one of my favorite angel fish just passed away. I have a 60 gallon aquarium that has been established for years with 4 adult angels and various other small fish. All of my water parameters and temp are normal. I always do a head count when I feed to ensure everyone is...

I have a 60 gallon aquarium and I am wondering what would be the appropriate amount of angel fish I can keep in it. Sources online seem to have different answers. The guy at my LFS said to put as many as I want which clearly isn't correct lol I currently have 4 half dollar size angels. I am...

I had a marineland 350 magnum filter for 6 months and it started making weird sounds that I couldn't resolve. The propeller was fine, so the company ending up sending me a completely new filter free of charge. I've had my new one 2 months and its been great until recently it started making that...

I have a well established 60 gallon aquarium with 4 angel fish and various other small fish such as danios. All water parameters are normal and I keep the tank 78-80 F. I have not added any new additions to the tank. About two months ago one of my angels suddenly stopped eating and had white...

My leopard danio has an open wound at the base of his tail and it appears part of the tail is missing as well. I can see open flesh with bones sticking out. All water parameters are good and all of my other fish are doing great. The danio itself is otherwise good(swimming around normal and...

I have 4 baby angels, 1 blood parrot and various other small fresh water fish. I am going to be moving in a couple of months and wanted to know the best way to go about this with as little stress on the fish as possible. I have moved goldfish in 5 gallon buckets before and they can handle a...

I've kept angels and discus but this is my first time keeping a blood parrot. He is very aggressive when I clean the tank. He repeatedly charges and bites my hand. It doesn't hurt real bad but it makes cleaning the tank very difficult. He is still young but I'm worried his biting will be a...

I just picked up a new betta today and he is super pretty and in good health. I did notice just one part of his tail is curling and split a little. It is very slight. Should I be worried about fin rot or is this normal wear and tear on the tail?

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). My discus fish has faint lines down both sides of his body. If you look at him right you can see his slime coat is disturbed showing...

Anyone have experience keeping freshwater clams in an aquarium? I have never kept clams and would like any advice.

I have two large apple snails, close to 3 inches each. They laid a nice clutch of eggs recently and I was wanting to hatch some of them. I live in Florida and I know you cant sell/ship them over state lines but does anyone know if I can sell them within the state of Florida.

So I'm new to keeping apple snails and just picked up 2 at my lfs. They are probably close to 3 inches each. I was wondering how big will they get and how long do they live for? Any info would be appreciated.

I have a cycled 60 gallon tank. Ammonia-0, nitrite-0, and nitrates-5. I have had two discus in it for a while and I added three new discus two days ago. The old discus relentlessly attacked(biting/tail hitting) and chased the new ones even with plenty of hiding places. I finally had to...

I recently bought a pleco. Its only 1.5 inches at the most. It keeps climbing up and into the filter. It doesn't cause any problems except I bought it to help clean the tank and I would like to see him from time to time. I'm afraid that once it gets bigger this could be a problem. Any advice?

So I noticed little white wiggling worms in my tank and looked it up to find I have planaria. I have two discus in the tank who are just getting over a treatment for ich brought into the tank by a pleco who has now been placed in quarantine. The ich seems to have cleared using a method of...

I plan on getting some discus fish soon. I've done my research but I have a few questions. For those who have successfully kept them do you use 100% RO water to lower the pH(my tap pH is too high). Also do you use any additives to replace the lack of minerals in RO water? How often do you...

I have a 60 gallon with three goldfish in it. Over the past week my two fancies have started spending a considerable amount of time at the top just gulping air. My black moore does not gulp at the top and swims around normally. All fish are healthy and still eat normally. No fungus or disease is...

I am moving to a new house this weekend that is about 30 mins from where I currently live. I have my three goldfish that I was going to transport in a 5 gallon bucket. I bought a rain barrel to transport their tank water so I don't have to recycle the tank in the new house. The goldfish are...
