My beautiful blue gourami just died a few weeks ago. Now in my 29 gallon I'm left with 5 harlequin Rasboras, 2 Platy fish, and 1 Molly. I would like to get another colorful "centerpiece" type fish for my tank. I don't want another gourami right now, and unfortunately I can't find any GBRs...

here is another picture from a different angle

So we had a power outage and so my filters were off for a few hours. When they came back on in my 29 gallon I found these flecks of what looks like some film. It's very sparkly and there are tiny pieces and huge pieces. I tried to pick up some of the larger pieces but once they're out of the...

Males have a pointed dorsal fins and females are more rounded is what I've been told

Yeah my gourami will nip at their tails. She took a hunk out of my Molly's tail but then got used to her and left her alone and the tail has healed back nicely. But I'm sure it depends on the personality of the fish. Wish you the best of luck!

My blue gourami chases new tank mates for about two days after they're introduced, and then gets used to them and then she's totally peaceful. It might be different with multiple gouramis though. I only have the one gourami who chases her tank mates of other species.

My local pet co is awful, they're fish section is poorly maintained, full of dead fish, and has very few tanks. It is also worked by people who don't let you finish a sentence before they feed you wrong information. My pet smart has tanks that seem to be greatly maintained, I've never seen a...

After a loooot of inner discussion I've decided to invest in a second filter for my 29 gallon tank. I have no immediate need for a second filter, I'd just like my tank to be as healthy as possible. I currently have a tetra whisper 30 that came with the tank. The tank is heated at 78*F and is...

No, I only have one reputable lfs. My other options are petsmart and petco which have very cheap cories but there's always one or two dead in the tank and I decide against it every time.

I have a 29 gallon tank that I've been working on for a while. It's cycled and filtered and kept at 78*f. I currently have: 1 blue gourami 2 mollies 5 harlequin Rasboras 1 albino bn pleco I want something to help make the bottom look less bare. I've thought about cories but at the only place...

So I got 5 harlequin Rasboras about a month ago. They are all schooling tightly, very active, and eat very well. However when I fed them this morning one had what looked like a tumor on his side just under his dorsal fin. I don't know if it was there before I noticed it today, but he is still...

Wow!! I was considering an opaline but all the ones my lfs had were almost silver. That is a beauty!!!

Marcel! (as in Marcel the shell with shoes on)

my three mollies. They were a gift from someone who didn't know about the gender ratio. So I had to separate the black female into another tank because she was being tormented. But strangely enough my males completely ignore eachother, and they were the ones I was worried about!!!

Okay thanks so much. I figured it wasn't too long but I wanted to make sure. I'll see about getting a styrofoam box, that sounds like a good idea

my beautiful elephant ear betta boy. His name is Beaux and I rescued him from petco about 2 months ago! He is so healthy and active and spunky!

So I'm on vacation 3 hours from my home. I found a lfs here that carries Amano shrimp (can't find them anywhere near my home) and some of the most beautiful nerite snails I've seen. Would a few shrimp and a snail survive the trip home in baggies? Is there something I should do to keep them more...

This is my Albino Bristlenose named Waldo in the first week I had him he hid ALL the time!! Now he's out day and night! He's really young, only 2 1/2 inches but his bristles are starting to come in!

Thanks so much Istrom!

I was recently given 3 mollies as a gift. One black one white and one Dalmation. They're adorable and I love them to death but I was worried about the breeding. I know my white and Dalmation are males because of their anal fins but I can't tell on my black one. Is my black a female? And is she...

The pictures are blurry but I understand that, my betta refuses to stand still for pictures! From what I can tell he looks like a half moon, or rose tail. Use the chart the other user provided, it's a good one!

I already posted this and no one responded. There's reddish brown spots on the top leaf of the big silk plant in my betta tank. It's an Aqueon Minibow 5 gallon with heater, filter, and lighted hood. I change water weekly and the only fish in there is my elephant ear betta. What is causing this...

here's a picture

I open my tank lid to water change today as I do every week and I see reddish brown spots on the top two leafs of the big silk plant from pet co in my betta tank. It is an aqueon mini bow 5 gallon that is filtered and heated and has a lighted hood. There are 2 silk plants, a terra cotta pot, a...

Wow those are so cool!! I've never seen or heard of them before! Are they common in LFSs?
