My betta has this odd lump on the start of its tail which makes the tail kinda turn to one side, the fish also has difficulty swimming up for food and has been slowly getting thinner and weaker.

I found a vendor online (onedayglass.com) while I was planning a plywood aquarium I want to build eventually. They don't sell annealed glass past 24"x24" and that was too small so I decided to see how much tempered would be. A 55"x21" piece of tempered glass at .5" thickness is 90 dollars, which...

Hey guys, we are in year 4 of the drought and I was just wondering what are some things you guys are doing in order to save water when it comes to our fish tanks? You may include any ways you are saving water in your home.

Hey guys I made a stand using 2x4's as something for the tanks to sit on and it is supported by cinder blocks. I noticed that all of the tanks sit completely flush with the 2x4 frame. I used slightly flexible metal brackets so that when filled the weight will straighten everything out. As of...

Okay so my Java is doing well and I have a bunch of daughter plants and more are growing on it rn but I noticed one of the leaves is getting a red stem and white leaves near the rhizome. The others aren't getting this. What is causing this? Thanks in advance.

Grabbed a 55, 20 long, and 40 breeder during the Petco Dollar Per Gallon sale. Gonna put some pictures up of how I'm going to have the oriented soon. It will be freshwater and I am playing with a few ideas right now. Building the stand on Friday. Stay tuned!

Over the summer, I am away from my tanks about 1 to 2 weeks at a time. I'm not worried about the planted tanks, but let's say I have a 55 with 6 discus in it (hypothetical, but I am liking that idea) it is bare bottom, no plants. Could I run a bucket algae scrubber to keep nitrates down? Besides...

For those of you who are living in the East Coast and have internet, I hope you guys fare well when the storm ends. My wishes go out to you guys. On a brighter note, have your Dojo/Weather Loaches been going nuts? The low pressure system is insane over there.

I was thinking of building a tank with 4 glass sides and a plywood bottom. Could I just use the tempered panels of two 55s for an end result that would be 48 x 48.5 x 21? I would use the spare glass for something else and I would probably buy glass online or around town to use as a euro kind of...

If I were to get a group of angelfish like 6 (could be more if recommended) in a 4 foot x 4 foot x 21 inch tank (tall haha) would they bicker a lot? I have heard mixed things about how they can school peacefully but some say they won't. I kinda like the idea of large, slow schooling fish which...

My nerite has been growing a lot but has recently slowed down significantly. It has also been being more dormant lately. Is this normal? Also the shell has grown out funky. Is my snail okay? As you can see in the pictures there is a slight line separating the old and new shell that is caused by...

I would like a used 55 & 125 so I can reuse the glass for a build I plan on doing in a few months. The sheets I need are 2- 57*21; 2- 44.25*21; 2- 3*56.25; 2- 3*44.25 in case you have any laying around. If you have any of this stuff and would like to sell it, post here or pm me. Thanks for...

In short, would you recommend 1 large school or 2 smaller schools like stated. However if you want to read the long way, I was considering stocking a 75 gallon planted tank with: 20 Amano Shrimp 15 Black Phantom Tetras or Black Skirt Tetras (whichever looks better once I spend more time at the...

How to increase tank stocking capacity for around 10-15 bucks A lot on what stocking levels are based on is surface area, not just water volume. For example, a betta in a 5 gallon has a stocking level of about 80% according to aqadvisor. Using the same 5.5 gallon you can get stocking level to...

Alright so I have had my RCC for a while (name is Waldo, most likely a guy, reaching sexual maturity soon) and when I was moving his tank, I placed his heater wire in an odd position. It was very close to a rock formation so he climbed out and I didn't see him for at least 12 hours. Anyways, I...

Okay so I know that 100% polyester can be used as filter floss but what if it is chemical free, 100%, yet STILL fire retardant? I've been told not to get the fire retardant stuff and to get the 100% and chemical free stuff so this confuses me. Also a friend gave me a bag of ingeo pillow...

Hey guys it's been a while! Schools been keepin me down... XD Anyways, I was thinking of setting up a decent size fish tank once I move, been saving up for a while. Probably going to be a 40B, 75, or if I have the room something bigger. I've been watching a lot of King of DIY (Aquariums) for a...

When I move at the end of the month, I plan on taking up a DIY tank. So, I am having two plans that I am debating over right now. The first being a 6x2x2 plywood tank and a 4x3x2 plywood tank. How would the price of glass vary? I know I need more glass for the 6 footer but a thicker glass for...

So, normally I try to get one tank and set that up and I know a lot of us here have fish that don't get along, but have similar water param requirements. This got me thinking, what if I wanted to have a betta and a trio of sparkling gourami's but didn't want to spend money on two tanks and on...

I'm building an extremely small (as ponds go) indoor pond that is about 115 gallons. The water level is 21 inches from the top of the bottom board if that makes sense. Both sides are 36 inches long so it holds about 115 gallons. I've done a lot of research (one of my hobbies is researching...
