So it seems the last time I did a water change two of my pregnant fish had their fry. There are now about 15 or so fry and the fish are still pregnant looking.

I got this guy a couple of months ago, last night he decided to play escape artist. He climbed out of the tank. Then climbed or fell 4 feet to the ground and I found him in the middle of my hallway floor about 30 feet from his tank. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I am about a month into a fishless cycle. PH 7.6, ammonia 2-3ppm, nitrites 1.0-2.0ppm, nitrates were 20ppm yesterday, today they appear 5.0ppm- 10ppm. Is there something wrong? Or is this normal. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I was wondering if it was possible to place a 3 way gang valve underwater buried with gravel in the back of my aquarium. I have a 3-D background and no place to run 3 tubes down the sides without it looking bad. Long story short, can I place it in the tank. Sent from my SGH-T999 using...
