So, my hubby really knows how to get me, by contributing to my aquarium addiction, he made a deal with me that if he didn't have to go to a dinner party then he would buy me a new tank and a new betta. Naturally, I gave into my addiction, and hubby didn't go to the dinner party, so now I get a...

I was at the aquarium today and I noticed a pair of breeding Africans. I just thought it was worth sharing and it would be cool if anyone could identify them

Just wanted to share, getting started on breeding convicts. Looking to get some good color and healthy looking fish. Tips are helpful!   thanks.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz4P1SwjK_Q

Anyone know any good websites or stores where i could find a reasonably priced fish tank? I'm only looking for something around 50-80lt. My budget is only around £130, ideally even a little lower than that as i will still need to buy gravel and plants etc. If anyone could link me to a few or...

I recently purchased this plant from my local fish store, when I got the plant it was in beautiful condition with nice green leaves, however, over the course of 4 days it now looks like this (the picture attached) can anyone tell me why this might be? I have noticed my pleco taking a keen...

I am currently setting up a new 150l aquarium and am trying to decide whether to buy an eheim classic 2213 canister filter or an aqua one 104f internal filter; if anyone knows anything about these could you let me know what is best and why? thanks.

I'm going to update my three male betta fish to a divided ten gallon, but i have a few questions. If i get two dividers from Petsmart, they dont have holes, so i assume I'd need a sponge filter for each section? If I make them myself, I could make them with holes in them so i would only need one...

so im wondering what the best kind of lighting i should get for my planted tank which i should hopefully be setting up in 2 weeks or so. should i go for the regular kind of lights, is t5 or t8 best? what wattage works better? or maybe L.E.D's are best? all help is much appreciated :)

Hi,.   So let me begin by apologising if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't too sure, but presumed this to be quite a basic question (shame I've ran out of ideas!) so placed it here.   Anyway, I have a custom made aquarium, at 60cm tall, 54cm deep and 76cm long, this one is quite unique.  ...

I was thinking of getting a aquastyle 980 (215L) from a website later on and they changed the layout of the site and I cannot find where I can purchase one of their tanks. I did notice that there was a tab that said buy a brand new tank so probably they are still making the tank page Heres the...

So I have recently acquired the funds to start up my main aquarium I have been dreaming of. I want to have the perfect aquarium. I have dealt with a 10 gallon and a 5 gallon, but now it is time to upgrade and get serious about this. I do not have any restrictions except for a $600 budget. I was...

Hi, just a query.   Ive rebuilt an 80l freshwater tank, new substrate but lots of the orignal plants and an oversized hob filter with lots of mature filter media. Been cycling with a 50/50 mix of old tank water (from my 150l tank's water change) and new de-chlor tap water.   I used a load of...

I dont know much about salt water tanks. but What if someone Made a filter that was also a heater? if there is not something like that already. It would save space in your tank.

I was just wondering if there are any easy to take care of plants that are really colorful or flowery plants I can keep in a fresh water tank?

Ok so Monday July 22 (1 week ago) I set up my betta's new 5 gal. tank. It was going good until 2 days later I put in a water heater, and about 24 hours later the water gradually became cloudier and cloudier. (Idk if me putting the heater in has anything to do with it or not.) Today, it is still...

Has anyone got a Fluval Roma 90? Are they good? Iv been looking for a 2nd tank for a while and I'm short on space, was looking at the small edge but with the hatch on top it's too tall for the space I had planned to fill... So instead I looked where else I could have a tank, as I was looking...
