Hello everyone me and my fiancee have a currently 2 month old tank that is Tropical planted tank with Half Gravel and half Sand. In truth we actually have had this tank for 4 months, but the first month was a catastrophic failure. When we first got the tank we received with it "dirty gravel" to...

I have a 45 gallon tank, and I was thinking about trying to cross mollies and guppies. I have heard it is possible, and I would  like to try it myself. Does anyone have any advice on, like, how to encourage them to spawn? Anything related would help. Thanks!

Hey, this is my first post so I am not sure how everything runs.   In my biology class we were given the assignment to basically make a self sustaining ecosystem in a sealed of container. It is a nightmare. In order to keep everything running we obviously need plants to convert co2 to oxygen. To...

I started up my 10 gallon freshwater tank by waiting 3 days before i got any fish in January and it is now March. Ever since adding fish, my ammonia levels have always been dangerously high, staying mostly at the range of 6.0. We have tried everything, from reduced feedings, to adding an air...
