Does anyone have a general timeframe on how long it takes chili rasboras to get their colour back after shipping? I've had them for a week now, they have a bit of orange back but are still on the slightly pale side. I'm feeding them bbs, new life spectrum and Ultra Fresh micron shrimp patties...

So I saw skunk corydoras for the first time at my LFS. They were priced at $7 each and looked pretty adorable. What size tank would I need for these guys, and would they school okay with pepper corydoras? From what I have read, my water hardness (110 ppm) would be fine for them, and they...

So, I was made an offer for discounted equipment in exchange for reviews by a recently started aquarium equipment that is pretty close to me (geographically). I have never used a powered to add water movement, as I usually use air stones and air pumps instead. How many gallons per hour for...

Hello guys! I want to, eventually, sell my 11g for a 29g. I want to stock it with however many black goldfish would fit inside. You know, the ones with the really big eyes?? I used to have one as a child and I want another sooo bad. Of course- I would wait until my current fish children...

So I have some general questions about fixing up an old tank I recently acquired. 1st question. It looks like the previous owner took out the central support, leaving the tank with the risk of bowing. I have been doing some reading and it looks like I can actually order a custom from for it...

what is some good food for angelfish? for now all i’ve got for them is the standard tetra tropical flakes, they also eat the freeze dried blood worms (i feed my betta those as well) and i crush up some API freshwater pellets because they’re too big for them to handle whole. preferably...

currently my 30 gallon has fertilizing dirt on the bottom, then a layer of black sand, and a layer of gravel on top. i was wondering if i could get any sort of bottom dweller for my tank ? everything that has been recommended to me so far and everything i have found online (cory catfish...

Hello, I have a female blue Fancy Guppy that has been staying at the bottom of the right side of the tank for most of the day. I understand that this is not normal behavior for a Guppy.

Hi there! I bought these fish from a store near me, and they are very cool looking. However, nobody at the store even knew what they were called. Hopefully somebody here can help me :) I can post more pictures upon request. I am not referring to the silver finned tetras. The other guys with a...

So, I really love the African Dwarf Frogs in my local pet store. I am considering getting some so I have a few questions:   Do they need a filtered tank/moving water? Do they do well with peaceful fish (platy/corydora) ? What do they eat? Do they ever need to come out of the water?    And any...

Hey everyone! Get ready for a wall of text and a fair few questions.     I am in my final year of college, and keeping a fish as a pet is kind of a tradition here. So last January, armed with good intentions and very little knowledge, I picked up a little red betta I named Jarvis. For the last...

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...

Hey everyone so at the moment I have a 10 gallon tropical fish tank and I want to upgrade to a 20 gallon but I don't want to restart the ammonia cycle is there away to do that? Please respond.

after I rehomed my pearl gourami from my biorb 105, ( 105 liters/ 28 gallon ) I began the hunt for a new centerpiece type fish.

Ok, I don't know if I can put this here but if I can't just delete it. How do you ship a angelfish pair? In one bag? In two bags? I just can't figure this one out. Help?

I've currently got a 10g tank and I've been thinking about getting a couple bettas once the fish I have now pass on. I want two males because they tend to be more showy and because I'm not looking to breed bettas (which would inevitably happen if I had both males and females). Obviously I'd need...
