I work at Petsmart and We Received this fish a few days ago as a "red Texas" and obviously it's not one. Any clue what it is? Thank you ? •30 gallon community-10 gallon hermit crab-5 gallon betta WIP-30 gallon bearded dragon WIP•

Hi all~ I know these aren't necessarily what this forum is made for, but I was hoping someone could help me with my two land hermit crabs. Me and my friend own two land hermits, a small one and one that is slightly larger. We have had them for a couple months now and she went on vacation four...

Hey~ I was wondering if anyone knows of the best filter I could get for my 5 gallon? I have a whisper filter right now and it's sucking up all the sand and clogging ? it came with the tank and it was fine when I had rocks but now that I have sand it's acting up. I was thinking about a dwarf...

Hey guys- Now that my 22 gallon tank is established (just got a albino bristlenose pleco two weeks ago, monitoring water levels daily, and super super happy with the results) I was thinking about tackling my five gallon hexagonal shaped tank once more! I know plenty more than I did 6 months ago...

Hello everyone! Me and my boyfriend have a red eared slider and we keep having to replace the lights every week or two. Today, one of them blew out when he plugged it in. Is there any specific brand of day and night time lights we should be looking for? Thanks :) •22 gal zebra danio, 75 gal...

Hey all~ I've had my filter now for about three months and am not impressed at all. I've had problems with it not filtering all that it should and not being consistent with its filtration. The strength of the flow is also too strong and, too, not consistent. All around I'm just not impressed...

I've been cycling for about four, going on five, weeks and the ammonia and nitrites were down to zero for a couple days. I thought I was done, but for the past three days I've had a spike in levels. I tested my water at .5 ammonia and 1.0 nitrites today and followed up with a 40% WC. I do...

I recently got a piece of drift wood about a week ago and did the proper precautions; soaked it over night (it was prepared driftwood) and boiled it for three hours. About two days after inserting it, a white, hair like film grew over it and continues to grow and expand. It has even moved to the...

I babysit a little four year old girl and I brought her over one day after she woke up so I could make a coffee (her family and mine are neighbors). I had told her I got fish for Christmas and she wanted to see it and when she saw my tank she completely fell in love. It struck me as odd because...

Hi all~ My mom got some extra unflavored gelatin so I decided to go by some squash baby food and crank out some snello for my little guys :) anyone know a good recipe? If I feed my fish with the jello in the tank, would It be over feeding them because they might eat it too? Anyone have...

Had my red ear for about a year. His name is Tim haha? He's a lot bigger than this, probably about 8 inches long now! We're currently in the process of adding stuff to his 75 gallon to make it homey :) Anyone else have turtles? ☺️ •20 gal zebra danio, 75 gal red ear slider•

I have had very bad luck with my tank so far, some of you probably know if you have been seeing my posts. Haha! Long story short, my boyfriend followed an uneducated petsmart employees advice and purchased a five gallon tank with four zebra danio glofish for me for Christmas. First, one of my...

I just did my first water parameter check because I finally got enough money saved to buy some test strips (I know they aren't perfect in accuracy, but they were what I could get for now). I researched my zebra danios and it said they like soft water (.5-25 dH) I tested my water and it said the...

I am due for another water change and this time instead of just having a couple fish, I have a shrimp and two mystery snails in the tank as well. I know to leave the fish in the tank to eliminate the stress of moving, but I clean with a small gravel cleaner and was wondering if I should take out...

My zebra danio glofish got stuck under my small filter and I shut it off but now he's floating around breathing heavily. He won't move any of his fins. Is there anything I can do? He won't eat either! Do u move him to a different tank or wait it out and see if he starts to get better because...

I'm new to the forum and am in desperate need of advice. As I've mentioned before, I just recently was granted four glofish zebra danios for Christmas with a five gallon tank. My boyfriend had asked a worker at petsmart how many gallons they need and she gave him the five gallon tank. I know...

Hi! My boyfriend just got me into aquariums and fish and I'm in total love with it. I only just started my new tank on Christmas and still have a lot to learn and do. Any and all advice is welcome. I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions! Haha!
