Hello everyone. I'm from the US originally but living in India now for many years. I come from a farm in northern USA where birth and death are normal parts of life, and kept many many pets including fish, turtles, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't kept any fish for over a decade due to...

When I was a kid, my parents got me a 10-gallon tank. I don't remember if it was ever actually cycled. Then I upgraded to a 20 gallon. I don't think that was cycled, only the water in the old tank was transferred to the new tank. And everything else. The filter, decor, gravel, everything got...

I bought some Zebra Danios yesterday. Most are dead, but I've generally figured out what happened. 2 currently remain and I guess I have a question about their behavior. Fish A is a smaller one, the most energetic and will possibly be the last to survive. Fish B is bigger and less energetic...

Hi there, This is my introductory post! (I'm going to write out my fish keeping journey so skip to the bottom if you don't want to read a bunch!) I'm Mariah, I am 22 years old, a college student (majoring in art education) and a very very new fish keeper! My family always have had fish but I...

Hey guys, I just picked up a new aquarium that my dads friend kind of let go. They had two fish in the aquarium that they didn’t know the species. Can you guys help me out with these pics? The plecos had babies, and there is a male brittlenose in the tank with her. Does that mean she’s a...

Hello everyone! You can skip the first few paragraphs of my fish history since its too long but I need help with my fishless cycling!! I have a 10G tank that originally started with 5 mollies. After two months, three of them got sick and died one after another. The reasonthat I can think of...

Hello! I have built my first "real" tank. I had a 5 gallon with a plant and 2 guppies. My wife surprised me with Permission to get a 20. So that's exactly what I got. I currently have 3 black mollies, 4 gold dust mollies, 8 Ember Tetras, 1 pink tux Guppy, 2 female Fancy guppies and 1 Albino Cory...

I have a new 20 gallon long tank and I have 4 glowfish danios plus two mystery snails inside a separate one gallon container. My question is can I fill my new tank up with treated water for chlorine and chloramine add fritz zyme 7 and then add all fish and snails within the same day? I’ve read...

I've been keeping tropical fish for a few months now (almost a year if you count my late rescue betta Snowcone). I currently only have a heavily planted 10 gallon freshwater tank with 6 Ruby Tetras, 3 Otos, a Mystery Snail and some Neocardinia shrimp. This tank is going well and I am just...

I have a cycled 20 gallon tall/standard tank with 7 leopard danios, 4 corydoras aeneus, 1 bolivian ram and 2 amano shrimp. I was thinking of adding some other fish, maybe a bristlenose pleco or some guppies. The tank has been up and running with this stock for about 2 weeks and has an aquaclear...

Firstly, I’d like to say I’m a bit new to fishkeeping, but I’m learning every day — thanks in advance for understanding. [EDIT] Picture attached is rotated — he’s always swimming horizontally. That’s just him pecking at some algae. I currently have a 20 gallon freshwater tank with some...

I have recently entered the hobby, purchasing a Aquapod 56litre aquarium. Which I have included some small plants and larger rocks. I have cycled my tank and has the local fish store confirmed the conditions were now suitable for my first fish. I decided to go for a German Blue Ram although I...

I have a cycled 20gal tank (600x 320 x 400 I made the mistake of trying to give my Betta (Sushi) some friends... he didn’t play nice to say the least. He now has his own 5 gallon set up and is very happy. I have 2 Albino Cory’s - one with no eyes (Stevie Wonder) and one has 1 eye (Mike...

Hello everyone! My name is Jim, I've been keeping fish on and off for about 20 years. Sometimes with great success, sometimes with great failure. I love trying new and different things, and love hearing about other people testing the limits of what we can do in the world of artificial habitats...

Hi all! I'm new, and so is my 20 gallon tank. It's been running for about two weeks. I let it run without fish but with the liquid bacteria from Marineland (I think?) for 4 days, and then added 4 platies (2 male, 2 female) and a tiny little red shrimp. After a week I had the water tested, and...
