Hey guys,   I've got a spare tank laying around and I was thinking of giving fish breeding ago. I've recently gotten into the L series of plecos which are just stunning, but I'm going to try and breed some Peppermints and normal Bristlenose first before getting into the breeding of the L series...

My peppered corydora recently lost his best buddy  It seems like he's grieving, they were very very close. He won't eat much and generally stays to one corner, but he seems very healthy. I plan to get another cory to keep him company, but is there anything else I can do to make him feel better?

Hello All,  I just recently inherited a 55 gallon tank that was being occupied by a 8 inch Red Tail Tin Foil Barb and two 6 inch Pictus Catfish. The tank itself came with an External Hanging Agua-Tech 30/60 Power Filter and a External Hanging Aqueion Power Filter 10. I do recognize that Barbs...

I know to have a balanced tank, you want to distribute top, middle and bottom swimmers and not overcrowd but cories stick to the bottom of the tank so would it matter whether you only had 2-3 or a big school like 6-7 since they dominate the tank floor and wouldnt cause overcrowding because they...

This morning I looked at my tank and noticed that one of my Julii Cory catfish had lost all of his coloration, I thought he was dead but when I put the net in he swam away. He is almost a ghostly white and his one eye looks like it's bugging out. His tank mates are 2 high finned platys, a tiger...

I have a community aquarium and I am just wondering will my chocolate catfish eat the tetras that go in, I am curious as I have another tank I can move him to.

I bought a new cave for my BNs yesterday (hoping my Marble is a girl and perhaps breeding might happen) but when I got it in the tank I realized how small it was and was disappointed thinking my big boof-head male BN Momo wouldn't fit in there.   Was pleased to wake this morning to find I was...

Over the past week I have had 2 brand new emerald cories die and a bushynose pleco die. they all were acting normally until I come back from classes to see them keel over. all the other fish seem relatively unaffected. The bushynose also died in a separate tank, both tanks have good water...

Hey guys, long story short I was just getting ready to plant new plants and turned over my driftwood to spot these two little guys. I have no idea what sort of eggs these are, im not trying to breed anything?  lol the only thing I can think of is my false juliee (sp?) corydoras because the...

I have albino cory catfish and I used to have smooth gravel but now I changed to sand because it kept hurting them and one of them is a pure white while the rest of them are a yellow, the white one lays on the sand most of the time away from the group and I never see him/her eat. What is wrong...

Hi ! I am new to this forum ><. Im not an expert in fishes. currently i am very worried about my paroon shark dying because ever since I have treated them with the medication to cure Ich on them, they started to have red streaks appearing on their pelvic fins (correct me if I am wrong) which is...

Hello, while I do know a bit about fish thanks to growing up surrounded by fish tanks, I've never had my own. I've fed my parent's tank and often discuss the fish with them. So I do understand compatibility, water quality, temperature, various diseases etcetera. My mother has always told me that...

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to fishkeeping, I've have a 20 US gal. tank running for about 6 months now and I thought I was doing fairly well. I even managed to get my Platys to produce some fry. When I first stocked my tank I had 2 wagtail platys, a sunburst male and a red female, ans I had 3...

So I bought 4 new Corys (pretty sure the shop advertised them as Corydoras sp. columbia). And the past few days one in particular has been looking off - paler than normal, and noticeably smaller in size than the others. Yesterday when I looked in the tank it looked dead - was upside down on the...
