well, i lately had a craving for salt and am considering a 20 gallon tank, please tell me how much i can stock this, if at all

sounds good, thanks everyone

it all sounds good, but how do i go about making my own LR? and i would usually do a 15% a week anywways, i was thinking that might be too much because my freshwaters dont like it

im not sure on the exact measurements, but it is rectangular i was also planning on putting turbo snails in there because i here that they clean the water, is that a good idea? LR is expensive, is there any kind of alternative?

Well, i have recently decided that i am very interested in beginning a mini reed aquariam. A local pet shop near my home sells 33 gallon aquariams for just within my price range, and i would like to know what equipment will i need? do i need special lighting, filtration or chemicals? i dont have...

you may have heard of my aquariam from past posts, but i have a question. I realize that guppies arent the hardiest of fish now a days, but they have been dying quite often. Before death, they usually have symptoms of red gills, swimming against gravel, and have not been eating much, is it gill...

Ok, then i will start shopping around for a 50 gallon, or those tanganyika ones suggested. Any other info i might need?

Ok, thanks a lot everyone, you helped me get my first livebearer tank up and going, so, thanks again.

Ok, than tanganyika sounds good. is there any habits or things i should treat them with, like shelters, or decorations? maybe a special kind of gravel? and, about the size of malawi, i was thinking electric yellows, which in 3 different pet stores i went to were almost 2 inches, and one of the...

Ok then, corys it is. And i can grind up flake food for the fry? and corys will eat total tropical food that i have been feeding the guppies?

I have lately been thinking about lake malawi cichlids like crazy, and would like to know how to start them off. As far as I have seen and herd, they are pretty much small fish. Would a 10 gallon do? do they like plants? can i mix them with any kind of snails, like apple? just thinking about...

I might suggest, instead of guppies that you might use a betta, and also, do you have a heater? another thing may be a few neons, but still, there wouldnt be room for many and neons look best in large groups.

Ok then, no bettas, but what about the fry food? what should i feed, also, could i add a clown loach? just because they are on sale and they bottomfeed.

Ok, i could get some java moss, and a pair of females today, but about the botomfeeders, would a "walking catfish" do the job? i doubt it, just asking. Oh, and also 2 more questions: can the fry eat ground flake food? and, is it somehow possible to crosbreed bettas and fancy guppies? that...

But, if you do want to spend some "quality time" with your fry, take him out for walks, in the river or maybe, if your that obsessed, have a bath with him. whatever suits your needs, not that i would do those things.

Ok, thanks Guppy Mommy and I was wondering, because i have had problems in the past with over feeding and high nitrate, should i put in some bottomfeeders? the male is very picky, and will only eat from the top if he has to fight to get it. And the female seems to be a rather slow swimmer and...

Well, I have a 10 gallon and am currently storing a male and a female guppy in there, but am slowly adding more and more. The female looks pregnant, but i cant take a pic right now. Enlarged stomach, black spot near tail, in rectal area, the male seems to be nipping at her stomach and she has...
