So I have a 20 long with a young axolotl living in the tank. I have several rocks some driftwood and 1 Anubis plant. The lighting is an internal led strip that is suctioned to the backwall. It lights the whole tank but only gives enough light to really grow low light plants. What can I do to...

So my gf has one of these guys in her 20 gallon. Had it about two weeks. It will not eat anything but snails. Tried bloodworms and brine shrimp. Nope. Been collecting pond snails from the local Petco and it eats them like candy. But this can't last forever! What do I do? Sent from my...

Setting up a 20 gallon long tank. I'm going purely internal system with this one, lights filter etc. but the filter doesn't really disturb the water surface so I'm probably gonna use a small air pump and was thinking.. What is the most quiet one out there? Any experiences to share on them...

So my girlfriend has Amano shrimp in a community 20 gallon fish tank and two of the 4 are pregnant. We did absolutely nothing to cause the breeding and according to what I've read.. They shouldn't have bred otherwise. They have been pregnant for probably 2 and a half months close to 3. Will...

So I have a five gallon beta tank that has houses my beta fish for around 4-5 years now. He was full grown when I got him and is showing a lot of signs of old age. Now I'm kicking around ideas for the space he occupies once he one day passes. I could fit a 20 long there easily. Saw some...

So I'm getting some fish that prefer foods like frozen brine shrimp, bloodworms and beefheart. My area only has a Petco nearby for food and fish. In the past I had fed bloodworm and brine shrimp. The bloodworms were San Francisco Bay brand and I have came to the conclusion they have...

I've had my tanks up and running for a couple years now and before I list the issue I'll give my readings. For the tank in question 29 gal. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 15ish So I have had a single black phantom tetra for a while mixed in this community tank. He had some black phantom...

So I recently stumbled upon this fish. It's beautiful and I plan on getting one. I have only one question, can you keep more than one in a tank? I've read they are territorial to other males during breeding, and I've also read provided enough hiding spaces and a large enough tank it's okay...

So I have 4 guppies in a 29 with some other fish. I noticed just a small amount of fin nips on only the guppies. I don't think it was any of the other fish as I never see any of my other fish chase or even put a second thought into the other fish. Is it possible I have accidentally got a...

Anybody know where I can get one? My local retailers don't carry them. And I can settle for an electric blue ram all the same. But I would really like an apisto with some nice color variations. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 29 gallon tank that I'm basically giving away, has a stand and an LED marinelife hood with night settings. Will trade for a 200 watt heater. Or of course some money. Does not come with filter or heater. Unfortunately local pick up only. 62012 area code.

I recently was given a 46 gallon bowfront tank. After cleaning it and transporting my fish and a turtle from another tank.. I have a question about lighting. It has a 36 inch lighting fixture on the top that appears to be powering maybe a t8 bulb? The fixture has an external ballast. I...

I have an eheim 2215 on a 29 gal and lately it seems the outflow is weaker than it used to be. I took it apart and cleaned it today. But still weak! Any suggestions?? Also if I shake the canister it spits out a little air.. Almost like its trapped air and never fully pushed it out. But it...

So I believe I will be getting a turtle this week! I'm pretty excited! However a couple days ago I may have messed up. I did a water change and shut off my old filter to see if my new eheim 2215 is fully cycled. (I should note I cleaned the mechanical and chemical(purigen) TWO weeks ago and...

Hey guys I'm setting up a basking dock for a razorback musk turtle I plan on getting in a couple weeks. I had the idea to get one of the "floating" basking docks to set at water level with suction cups for his possible basking spot. And then to make it more natural looking and blend in with my...

Hey guys I have a 29 gallon tank and saw this other tank in a video where the guy had like a tree stump in his tank. The tank was really heavily planted and it Looked amazing in there. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas of ways to replicate this?? Here's an image I grabbed from google...

I have a 30 gal tank With about 4 tiger barbs plan on expanding that to about 6-8 later on. But I am curious as to what I could put with the guys to make for a more interesting tank? And I don't really want any tetras as I find them to be pretty boring. Any suggestions?
