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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So I'm cycling my new 29 gallon right now but I can't help but think about the lovely fish I will have eventually! My tank is 30 long, 12 wide, and 18 tall. Let me know if this would overstock it or if there are any problems with this list. Also any suggestions to changes, or additional species...

I'm considering the levels of my 29 gallon and I was wondering if having otos, cory cats, and kuhli loaches would make the bottom level over crowded. I'm aware they are all schooling fish and no, they would not be the only fish in the tank. Just wondering if it would make the bottom too busy or...

So I've gotten a 29 gallon for a great great price which came with a good filter and heater, all for only around 60 bucks! I've got small gravel substrate, a lot of silk and live plants and a couple different caves and rocks. My problem is what to stock it with! Can you list some fish and how...

Okay, so I got a 29 gallon and it has a wonderful filter and heater and everything is running smoothly. I know the types of fish I will be getting (neon tetras, panda corys, bn pleco, and a dwarf gourami) but I do not know what order to get them. I'm aware you need a week or two between adding...
