Hi guys, I have a dwarf puffer that I have had for around 3-5 months now. I have just been keeping her in a 2.5 gal with two nerite's (this is a temporary tank I don't wanna hear it). Anyways, I re-decorated her tank yesterday which included taking her out, putting her in a separate setup (which...

I didn't realize how nippy these little fish are! I really wanted to be able to have some snails and shrimp to bring more life into my aquarium. I currently have one Betta and a nerite snail in the five gal. However, I kind of wanted a more community behaved fish. Although my options are...

I would love to put it in a larger tank unfortunately the apartment I am moving into only allows 5 gallons or LESS. However, I am not sure the pea puffer is right for me. I really want to be able to have snails and shrimp in the tank because I am only going to have the one five gallon. Are there...

So I am looking to get a pea puffer. I have been trying to research them online and there is a lot of mixed info and opinions. 1.First question, is it unreasonable to put a single pea puffer in a 5 gal tank (granted it would be fully planted and decorated to mimic its natural habitat)? 2. Are...

Hi Brie, I know the website is super weird but I am going to try and break it down for you the best I can. So first start by adding in the dimension of your tank. This is located in the top left, to the right of where it says "Name". Choose the dimension of your tank - 10g, 20g, etc. It will...

I got some Ramshorns snails and I wanted put some in my Betta tank. Will adding supplementary calcium make the water too hard or will they be fine?

Hi there, So I am not exactly sure why you are getting that urine smell that is very strange. I will say your moss ball does look quite sickly. Something I do with my moss balls is take them out and rinse them in cool water, then let them soak in the cool water for 12-24 hours. Marimo moss balls...

I also don't recommend the CAE or SAE honestly. I had a CAE in the past and he started to get really aggressive towards my mollies to the point of fin nipping one of my females. Also the pet stores are very misleading about the size of the catfish. I would only really recommend a CAE to go with...

Typically mollies do better in a larger female to male ratio. The males can get territorial and fight over the female (not like Bettas though). I had a similar issue and the best solution is to move the fish that is being aggressive. I would either relocate the fish or set up a new aquarium to...

Corys are communal fish and they like to hangout together, they typically prefer to be in groups of 5 or more. Corys are quite active but they also take the time to rest as well.

My ten gallon is not super special but has been a very mature tank. Its an aqueous ten gal kit (I don't know the specific filter), I have an air stone, heater, and it is completely planted. It has always been a planted tank from the start and is growing great. I perform water changes weekly...

Hi there, I didn't realize a ten gal would be too small. Also I have the bristle nose pleco which is still quite juvenile at the moment. I have no ammonia in the tank as I do regular tank cleaning. The only reason I moved them into the 5 gal was because it was the only quarantine tank I had...

Hi Erin! Any plants will do honestly. I would go for some anubias or some java fern, they are pretty hardy and do not require a lot pruning/maintenance. With the java ferns and anubias when you plant them make sure not to completely bury the plant bulb in the substrate. You will notice the bulb...

Hi there! You really don't need to go crazy with the fertilizer constantly. I really only add ferts to some of my heavily planted tanks like once or twice a week, or if I perform a decent water change. I only add ferts to my tanks of ten gallons or lower every other couple of weeks or so...

I have a mature ten gallon tank, it has been running for almost a year now. I perform weekly water changes on this tank as well, and it is fully planted and has been absolutely thriving. I originally was keeping a few mollies in the tank, I had a male and female and they just kept reproducing. I...
