Hello all, it's been a minute since I posted here, so I thought I'd share what I've been up to. I decided at the end of last year that I would scape my rather drab 29 gallon tank. At the time I had just lost my angelfish and I decided it was time for a change. This is the Tank back then...

Hello all! I'm looking for some advice on whether or not to go to the aquatic experience in Schaumburg IL in 2 weeks. This would be a long drive for me to attend the event and I could only go on Friday. That said, I'll be ready to plant my new 10 gallon tank around the time of the show and if...

Hey guys, I just received an order from live aquaria. I ordered an ozelot sword (got 2, very pleased!) and an Anubias congensis. But upon opening I saw this leaf Which looks to me like Hastifolia. But also, on the same plant I saw a leave or two that looks like Congensis So which is this...

Just curious about which algae eaters you guys would suggest for a tank with an angelfish. It is a 29 gallon tank that also contains Anubias, Java Fern, and an Amazon Sword. As well as a guppy and some Rainbowfish I'm growing out. The only species I know I don't want is otocinclus because of...

Hey everyone! I decided it was time to make a thread encompassing my small hobby to make asking questions easier. Meaning not using multiple threads. My current adventure includes setting up a 55 gallon tank which will be community and converting my 29 gallon tank to a new set up as it is...

New rainbows fresh out of quarantine! One of my 4 survivors. Bought 5 and lost one to stress. Can't wait for them to color up!

So I've been keeping my guppy in a small container floating in my main tank while I use his tank to quarantine some rainbow fish. I did this to keep his water's temperature up. I just came over to him to change both his and the main tanks water and I noticed dozens of tiny bugs. Here's an...

So this could be just me, but I often have ideas for tanks that I'd like to see someone else keep but wouldn't keep myself. This could be due to space or up keep or any reason. For instance a planted 40 breeder with tiger barbs only. Or a really huge FW stingray tank. Or in my case any tank with...

Guys, I am a very frustrated aquarist. I have spent hours researching, aqadvisoring, and thinking about what to add to my tank next. But I have been stumped I have a 3 month old 29 gallon aquarium with 1 angelfish and 1 opaline gourami. This tank is kept at 76 degrees and has a few live...

So my understanding is petco does these quarterly. Is that correct? I'm hoping to upgrade from my 29 to a 40b or 55. Give my angelfish some space and pick up a couple chill Lake Malawi cichlids ?

Hi all, let me preface this by saying that I am not currently setting this tank up. I'm just doing research on a future tank I would like to set up and I figured you guys would have good insight. That said, this tank would be either a 40 breeder or a 55G. I know for sure I want keyhole...

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new here and to the hobby so I thought it would be prudent of me to start a thread. I recognize that I need advice on pretty much everything so let's get started. Here's the tank! My current stock is. Plants: El Niño fern (more about this later) Java fern...
