Of course, they figured out kids would love the bright colors (and us kids at heart)

That's certainly the plan!

Thanks! I'm a dino nut, so since this is "my" tank, I went for prehistoric theme! I had a volcano as my bubbler in the 10g but I wanted to give the glofish some hiding spots so I put the barrels back in instead.

I love them! They're cheery little pops of color in my tank, and at the end of the day I want to enjoy looking at my fish :)

I'm super excited about it!!! I'll take a picture tomorrow when I get the lights clipped in and everything.

Me again! I did a thing today and bought a 20g tank to replace my 10g tank since none of the fish I wanted could go in a 10g. I know there's a lot of hate towards glofish, but I am going to put a mix of tetras and danios in the tank. I'm so excited as I've wanted glofish ever since we first...

I'm not sure where I fall on the spectrum of believing in ghosts. I believe your energy has to go somewhere when you die, and it makes sense that an energy impression might hang around. But like ghosts in the form of granny hanging around, I'm pretty sure it's false.

Okay that's what I was wondering. I keep seeing different things on that, thats why I thought I'd ask before I got them. Thanks! I may try the Ember tetras again since they all got wiped out last time.

Hello all! It's me again. For my now empty 10 gal I'm thinking of stocking it with a male betta and 6 black neon tetras. I've done some research that says they're compatible and the aq calculator says it's 73% stocked. Do you think this will be okay?

I'll try turning the filter off when we feed them. And yes, we squish the cube against the class about halfway down and Ahole just hangs out with by it and chases all the other fish away if they come near it. Maybe we'll try the bloodworms on either side and the cube in the middle all at the...

When we feed them we drop food on both ends of the tank. The problem is our current pushes it all to one side very quickly. We used freeze dried bloodworms and tubifex cubes, and he always ends up guarding the tubifex cube

So I have one big green lantern platy we named Ahole(ah-hole-lay) that has been resource guarding the food in the tank and chasing our other two platys around. They're all male, if that makes a difference. Need some advice on how to handle the situation. I've threatened Ahole that he's going to...

Unfortunately the rest of the tank succumbed to whatever killed the one I was treating. So now my 10 gal is empty again and will likely be drained and restarted before any new fish go in there.

Update: he's swimming in fishy heaven now :(

The cory is in the other tank, this happened in my 10 gallon tank. And yes, definitely I bought a 1 gal tank and quarantined the fish I'm medicating. I'll do the water changes as well to make sure it doesn't spread, thanks!

and here's the 10 gal

here's the 35 gal tank, I'll snag a picture of the 10 gal

Is "a healthy one" too much of a beginner answer? ?

Well, as I glanced into my tank I do have a question. One of my ember tetras has what looks like white cotton growing on the side of him. Google says this is a fungal infection and to quarantine him and treat him with pimafix. I just bought a one gallon set up from Pwtsmart and am going to pick...

Thanks!!! Good to be here.

This is my second post, but I thought I'd introduce myself! I have 2 tanks right now (been in the hobby for roughly a month and already at 2?!?!). The first is a 35 gallon one that has 3 platys (2 bumble bee and a green lantern), 6 painted glass fish (didn't know they were injected cruelly until...

I'm a beginner fishkeeper. The fish I regret buying are the painted glass fish currently in my aquarium. I had no idea they were dyed when I bought them, and all I wanted was pretty colored fish. The guy at the lfs said they were some kind of colorful tetras, and I believed him. Then when I was...

I've read a lot of articles saying that the painted glass fish are now injected with dyes instead of painted on. I don't know which one is worse, they both sound awful to the poor fish

Sadly this is the only non big box store one. I think I'll avoid them in the future though. I'm actually kind of mad now that I wasn't warned or given more information. Oh well, nothing to be done now. We actually did buy a 10 gallon first and had a ton of issues with it, lost a couple of...

Thanks for the welcome! And yeah, we'll do the best we can by them. I'm kind of shocked that our local fish store had these on sale, to be honest. It wasn't a big box store either.

Oh no, that's awful. I wish I had known that before we bought them. I think ours are injected, which is somehow way worse than being painted on. We'll, lesson learned. Thanks for the reply

Hello! My husband and I are new to the fiahkeeping hobby. We have a 35 gallon tank set up right now and we just bought 6 of the most colorful little fish! Only problem is, there wasn't a sign on the tank and the guy at the store said they were glowing tetras, but they don't look like the...
