fish

I got fish yesterday and as they are my first fish and pets, i was thinking of naming them. I want to be able to know the differences between females and males. Anyone?

Hi All,   This is more of a 'Hi' and introduction than anything else but please let me know if we are doing something wrong. So we have had a tank for about 6 months and now starting to put some more effort in and make the tank a bit more interesting. Recently made a switch from fairly...

Hi guys!   I have a 36 gal freshwater tank.  Living in the tank are: 3 jewel cichlids which are about 3 inches 1 convict cichlid a little over 2 inches 2 dempseys I recently got that are maybe 1.5 inches 2 featherfin catfish 2 peacock eels 1 rubber lipped pleco about 2 inches and I also added 3...

Hello.  I have 4 African banned barbs, 4 zebra danios, a 3 inch redtail, 2 silver tipped tetras, and 1 dwarf pleco.  I have a 30 gallon tank that's in very good shape.    All fish are healthy.  I need advice though.  My tank, though active, visually looks a tad empty.  My question is, given the...

Hey everyone I have a 65g setup that has been running for 2 1/2 months. My tank is cycled and the levels are good. I came home today to find 2 clown loaches very sick and one just passed away. I'm not sure why they have gotten sick as every other fish in the tank seems to be more than fine. I'm...

Maybe this thread isn't as important as the title implies so firstly my apologies for that. The reason behind the thread is to help resolve some issues I have which have been mentioned in individual threads previously but suffered from lack of attention so I'm putting them all together! Ill...

Hi everyone;   My name is Steve and I am new to the fish world and I have a few questions. I have a 3.5 galleon tank and wondering how many fish can fit in there. Currently I have 5 guppies (a baby guppy) and two small bristle plecos. Would getting a weather loach be too much for this tank? Also...

My ph is around 8.3-8.4 and I don't know what kind of of fish can tolerate/adjust to such a high ph. I don't want to mess with my parameters. Any reasonable fish suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!

I have a Mickey mouse platy that is about 9 months old today. She was birthed from a recent platy that I used to have. She is very fat and I was positive she was pregnant. She has been pregnant for three months and most people tell me that they are only pregnant for 3-4 weeks. I had her in a...

I have always wondered what "color" or morph my platy fish is. I have had it for about a year now. It was bought from a local pet store and to this day I have not seen one like it. I snatched it up when I first saw it because like I said I have not seen anymore like this. I was wondering if...

So, I have recently found out about Desert Gobys and... I want them! Eventually! Specifically C. eremius or C. squamigenus. I've already done some reading about these remarkable fish but I'd like to hear about your experiences with them. And photos!   Do they readily accept dry foods or are they...

Hello - I was just wondering if someone could tell me what species of fish this is? So that I can better look after him/her. Thank you.

Hello everyone! Here's the situation: one of my little guppies loves hiding in his fish houses, but it's shredding his tail a bit. I thought it was fin rot, but I've had fish with that before and this doesn't seem to be the case. His tail looks more like a separated feather, he's acting...

Hello,      I had my betta fish in a 1 gallon tank for the past 2 months so I felt bad and bought a ten gallon tank for him. I was wondering what other fish could be put inside the ten gallon tank with my male betta fish. It has a filter and everything and heater. I am starting to cycle my tank...

Hi there! I am going to be setting up a tropical aquarium in a few days.  I've had a few bettas and some goldfish in the past, but never a community tank.  Do I need anything else other than what I'm planning on purchasing? 37 gallon glass aquarium florescent light (built into a hood, comes...

Hello all and welcome to my new project, an 88L tank, which is going to be my new planted nano tank with a few small fish. But firstly I will be building a cabinet for it, this will be made of solid pine wood, with 18mm thick pine panel's on the outside hopefully it will look stunning once...

Hi all! Recently I noticed that sometimes my Khuli Loach has a very pale colouring to it but then goes completely back to normal. Any ideas on what this could be? It's eating fine and showing no other signs of sickness but it just seems a little odd :/

So we had an iccident that caused us to have to clean out our HOB completely, and now our tank is cycling again. I have raised the temp to 80f, as I think the higher temp increases bacterial growth, and a hope to minimize parasites while the cycling is happening. Anyways, I use the Fluval 45 Bow...

I am currently rethinking my tank scape and its inhabitants and therefore am clearing out all current stocking to make room for a new stock of larger and more territorial fish. I am therefore selling the following fish. I will not post therefore pick-up is needed if you intend to buy. Location...

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if you could help me find what type of Tropical Fish this is? The name if what it is called would be great thank you!! http://www.aquariumsdownunder.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4839

Hi guys, this is mainly for my reference. However I thought it'd be cool for others to be able to read through it also. Possibly those in the process of deciding whether or not a custom tank is for them or not. Nevertheless, below you will find a list of companies and their prices. Some stating...
