Hello Everyone. After a few successful weeks of not killing our first ever fish (5 tiger barbs) I have started to notice a behavioral change in one of the larger ones. Of the five, I believe he is the oldest, or at least is the largest. (he? she? can anyone tell?) Lately when I turn the light on...

Well darn! I was just sure I was fully cycled. OH well, guess I missed the boat there. At least those little guys are still with me and haven't gone. . . overboard (sorry lol). :*) Thanks for the information. We are enjoying them, they move around quite a bit! of course that makes my son...

So I finally got brave and actually purchased fish for my son's tank. It is a 10 gallon which we set up shortly after Christmas. He now has 5 tiger barb, various sizes and that is all we are going to do for a year or so - just so we can get the hang of this! I have read that if I used tap...

Hi and thanks for the welcome everyone! My son is the proud new owner of a 10-gallon tank from Wali (yes, Santa shops there too). He is totally excited about this but is not sure why there are no fish yet :whistle: I want this to be a good experience for him - and perhaps become a hobby...

Hello everyone. If this is in the wrong section - I apologize. I am new to fish and am setting up my son's first fish tank. Its a 10 gallon and will be very simple. I set it up according to the directions - and the website it led me to. I added 10 lbs of rock (rinsed first), 2 rock ornaments...

Hello from New Mexico. I'm new to this forum and new to the "fish world." I bought ...er uhm. . . :*) Santa gave my son a fish tank for Christmas and I'm determined to do this right. I'm glad I found this place. I've been cruising around and I can really follow the posts here and think I can...
