My new tank is going well. I have a 30 gallon hex tank, back filter, extra aeration (because I'm scared the water will not properly aerate with just the back filter...). When I get new fish I put them in a smaller tank to keep them away from my other fish so I can make sure they are ok and...

"you don't say what size tank you now have? this could have some bearing on what you keep. for example the rubber lipped pleco, while MUCH smaller than a common can still grow to about 7 inches and could be too big for some sizes of tank, a bristlenose is an alternative if the rubber lipped...

I don't think I will get the frog, but it would be nice. I was reading up on them and they seem pretty hard to keep as they have pretty specific conditions. I will just have to get my frog fix with a Tree Frog in a reptile habitat one of these days :D . When I got my Platy's I got one male and...

I have been doing some research into what I will want to put into my new tank. I have two Platy fish and want to keep them and don't want them harassed by other fish. My question is when I'm reading about different kinds of fish they will list them as "Peaceful," then talk about them in general...

I'm very new to the hobby of keeping fish (just two weeks) and I have tried to do as much reading and asking questions at the pet store but I'm so confused! I want to have a smallish tank around 10 to 15 gallons but I don't know if the local pet store smells fresh meat and a huge sale with what...

Thanks for the reply, the Glofish was a friends that didn't have a home to swim in anymore so I gave it a home, it has only been in there a few days but apparently does not get along well with others. It is so tiny I didn't think it would be aggressive, that is until my platy was missing a few...

I got my first Platy's two weeks ago and have been doing a lot of reading on them so I can take care of them the right way. I bought three to start with...all females....and the next day one died, :-( . I was told to get several as they like to 'school' but one of my Platy's is very anti-social...
