Good Afternoon Fish Friends,    I have the age old question that i'm sure everyone has asked once before..    How do I stock my tank and what do I stock it with?   I currently have a 15.8 gal 2ft long tank with a small bunch of Java Ferns growing and soon to be a piece of driftwood added.    I...

I haven't bought the ammonia yet, so I can't tell you that.    Another method someone suggested online was with a frozen shrimp from the grocery store..  Would this be advisable?    I have this tank at work and wouldn't want it to smell.   I don't think i'll do the ammonia method then cause I...

Hello everyone, I wanted to find out if I can us this method while I have a mystery snail in the tank and will he survive? My tank (15.8gal) has been set up since June 7th I think I did the calculator right and it told me that my first dose should be 3ml Is this correct? Any advice would be...

Ninj, Can I use the ammonia method if my snail is still in the tank? I don't know where to keep him for the cycle process.

@Saw Really!!?? That's horrible.. It Wasn't Petsmart that suggested the Danios but a smaller PetValu which iss independently owned. That's a shame, my friend has a few danios in her tank and she only has a 10gal :( Hopefully they will be ok, she's been running it since may. I'm not sure what...

Ya, I'm planning to wait at least three weeks till I get fish. The pet store suggested getting a couple zebra danios to aid the process, figured id get them on week three. I've been researching aqua-scaping and I started soaking my driftwood today. I really want to make a gorgeous natural...

I don't know how healthy her tank is however so i'm guessing the long way is the safest

  I'm going to test the ammonia after work today and see, ive been researching all morning about this so hopefully I can understand it all    Online it was saying that You can add old filter's from a friends tank to help develop the natural bacteria within your own tank, is this a good idea?  ...

So I walked into work this morning and realized that I lost all my fish :(   Hobart survived and he's back in a little vase for the time being, he seems ok and unaffected (I hope)   I knew it was a possibility because the tank was so new and I didn't have an extra tank to put them in until I...

My parents found it washed up on the beach off Lake Erie a year ago. They had ur displayed on the back deck but decided this year they didn't want it anymore. Luckly for me! Any info or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok fish fans, I have another question for you! I have this amazing piece of driftwood my parents found and I think it or a piece would work perfectly within my tank (something for my java ferns to grow on) BUT! I want to do all the research I can before I place it in. I am planning to wait...

Really? I didn't know that about the Java ferns, OK I'll fix them tomorrow. I'm gonna do some research on them. Thanks

Well! The tank is all set up :) Here's some pics! http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag244/carmstrong175/0F45E2BC-AB68-4D69-845D-0F7F2C769DE2_zpseqnxxjjz.jpg http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag244/carmstrong175/96651B28-A775-425E-A71A-9CA260FFECEA_zpsyqyf36sj.jpg...

They did! I bought the National Geographic 15.8 gallon (59.8L) starter kit and a TopFin black laminate cabinet! I will be assembling tomorrow and will definately be posting pictures soon! This way I can keep my Cardinals and maybe get a few more! Ttyl!

Alright, you've convinced me...    For the extra $10 I can get the 15.8gal and a stand.  If they have these in stock, lol Poor Employees at PetSmart have been ver patient with me, lol   I'll let you know once I have this setup and I have pics!   Ciao!

Ok guys, here's the "kit" which is what I can afford atm.   Let me know what you think?   Heater: Aqueon 50W   Filter: Aquaclear Power Filter   Stand: TopFin 10Gal Stand   Aquarium: Topfin 10Gal Hooded Aquarium   The filter is the same as what I have therefore I can just exchange the filter...

Sorry for the double post. It was the same tank just two different sizes that you can choose between 15.8g and 20g. I was up until 1am thinking about this tank so I probably wasn't posting well anyway. Lol I was researching if I wanted to buy a tank and lid and then just get the remaining...

OK, I dont think I can fit anything larger than 15.8 gal (59.8L).. that's for you Ros :) So this is what I'm thinking.. best bang for my buck...

Ok, so here's my question....   Should I return this tank and get something larger? Perhaps a 15 or 20gal?   I don't want to run into problems because this tank is limiting to my choice of fish.   I don't have alot of space here at my store for one but I want some variety options.    Would you...

We will see, hopefully they are ok but i'll keep a close eye on them. 

Look! Hobart came out to play today   @ Ninj, Turbo! How cute Gotta show me some pics!   I decided to get Cardinal Tetras today, I picked up 4, that's all they had and I asked the lady to get me 2 more for next week.   Here they are!   ...

Hey Ninj, ya I like my little snail.. I couldn't help but watch him chew away today at work (that's where my tank is). All my customers are peering in wondering what's in the tank. Lol I went to another pet store today, smaller and not so commercialized like Petsmart and they didn't have any...

Hey Sarah!   to the Forum :) Give us some pics of your tank, I know i'd love to see!

Thank you Tongue_Flicker for the warm welcome    So I bought myself a Mystery Snail yesterday. He's all black and now has a name "Shade"   I am hoping to get a few (3) Celestial Pearl Danio's for my tank and i'm going to try that.    I think they should be happy    I will show pics later   Chat...

The Rasbora's look nice, I'll see when I exchange my heater what they have in stock for my tank. I'm not looking for much as this is my first setup. Unfortunately I didn't look further into it otherwise I would have bought something bigger. But I'm willing to try. Thank for the advice! I'll...

My ADF was in a little 6" x 6" free standing vase, he initially came in one of those smaller "toy tanks" with the bamboo stick.    See link: http://www.wildcreations.com/   What fish would you suggest?   Others online have placed up to 9 Neon Tetras in this size tank   ~ C

Watching YouTube... :) I'll figure this out soon enough!

  I was thinking of the Neon Tetras, the local Pet Store said I can get either Tetras, Mollies, Platies or Bettas for this tank and only a max of 2-3.    Cycle the tank? Forgive me, I'm not sure what that means..   I've been running the tank for three weeks now, I ran it without any vegetation...

Thank you Mamashack!    Newbie Question, whats the difference between a heat pad and a heater? What kindof problems could I run into?   Would something like this be better...

Good Afternoon fish friends, my name is Candace and I am a new owner of my very own Fluval Edge 6 gallon tank.  I only have a African Dwarf Frog (ADF) in the tank now, he's 3 years old and his name is Hobart but i'm planning to get some new Tetras today!   Here is my tank!   I have a question...
