The title pretty much says it. They have been showing spawning behavior, so I'm wondering do I have M/F or what? I try to guess but would like your opinion, I don't have enough experience to go beyond a wild guess. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Some of you will understand this others won't. I'm a newbie at Fish and Aquarium keeping, less than 1 year from the day I started this hobby. I will say it's much different than I expected but none the less my daughter and I enjoy it. I came to AA to get help, advice, opinions, suggestions and...

Please help... I am really confused, I have read, watched videos, read more and still unsure. I went to turn the light on to the angel fish tank to find them "kissing", I realize they were not kissing and I am assuming they were determining who is more dominant but how do i know for sure? First...

I have a drop in gilet with the floss, carb and ammo. My question is how often do you clean the materials inside and how often do you change them? I assume the floss gets changed more often. I'd like to hear what works for you. I have a 29 gal newly trying live plants. Sent from my iPhone...

I tjought I'd play it safe and wrap my java moss around a larger rock to keep the moss under control. A huge mistake. I went to feed one of the fish tanks and there it was a poor Oto sucker thing was stuck to the flipping lace. I panicked and cut the lace close to him, he still couldn't free...

I am still new at this aquarium, fish and plant keeping hobby. I have a couple Angel fish that I have had for a few months now (maybe 2 - 4 months). I am concerned that I am not feeding the Angels and Platys enough, they always act like they are always hungry. They are both amazing fish, when i...

question 1 - i am freaking out aqadvisor is saying i am way overstocked and i have no clue what to do.. I have a 29 gal tank lightly planted with a driftwood and some river rocks. I do aprox 30-40% wc every 5-7 days. If i see the bottom looking messy i do the water change. If its clean i wait...

Going to try and be short, brief and to the point. A while ago I had a sick tank, cleared up and a snail hitched a ride in on a plant infesting the tank. After much thought and getting tired of smooching snails and burning eggs I emptied the tank- completely. Washed it, dried it, removed all...

I am a newbie of around 6 months. I have replied to several questions asked. I normally make sure I say I'm new and for how long, I give my thought or experience and close by asking the folks who've been in the hobby for a while to please chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. This is not a...

hi all, i have been looking at so many beautifully planted tanks here, some are just picture perfect with the green bedding and all. I am just dipping my hands into the plants and have some coming real soon. I have some sword plant and not sure of name but another plant that has similar leaf. i...

Hi, I know there is not an answer for this but I am hoping someone can explain to me what's going on. I purchased a very pregnant guppy last night. A few hours ago I saw a fry being born, this process took her over an hour. She delivered that one dead, obviously, and boom another, dead also. I...

Hi I am fairly new here, and new to the life of owning a fish tank or 2. :) I was searching for some information about a fish i have and wanted to learn a little more, anyway i stumbled across this site and the more i looked the more impressed i was. They had info about the fish i had questions...

I've never seen fish or snail eggs but I found 2 of these in my livebearers tank. Snails hitchhiked to both my aquariums, I highly doubt this is from my oto. Help!!!!! I don't want snails. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My 20 gal long tank, has had some issues: heater broke and replaced it then the water got to hot at the same time my filter quit. Since this all the fish have been acting odd, first they were dashing all over, then when the water was at normal temp it was ok for a day, now all the fish are...

Going to try and make this somewhat short. I have a 20 gal long tank during the summer I was able to get away with only using a 10 gal heater. It's getting cold here already so I bought the appropriate size, plugged it in and thought I was good to go. This was in the evening before bed. When I...

I move and shook the decorations and still can't find it, for the past 45 min I have been looking for one of my angelfish I can't find it anywhere. There not...

Hi, I'm curious what you all think of snails. I've heard pros and cons, I decided not to buy snails as I figured at some point Id end up with 1 from a plant purchase. So I have found 2 small snails in 1 tank and 1 snail in the other. I'm ok with what I have but certainly don't want more. It's my...

I can't tell if they are males or females, so not sure if they are fat or pregnant. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The header says it all I have a solid black angel I think is a male and cobalt blue angel which I think is female. Only reason I think think this is through a YouTube video explaining how to tell the differance. I'd rather hear your opinions as I read wiggles and it's clear some people really...

hi all. i would love to get some of your opinions and suggestions on restocking my 29 gal tank. I have had the tank for 2-3 months. I previously had several kinds of tetras and guppies.. For some reason I can not keep guppies. The tetras all did great ( had black skirt, white skirt, painted...
