imagine it would be easy to have a tank of brine shrimp constantly
reproducing as they are like rabbits!  Is it a good source of staple food

I would like to have a bunch of such small and colourful fish, but I
don't know which to choose. Can anyone tell me about  the advantages
or disadvantages of these 2 kinds, please?

I have two flying foxes, am thinking about introducing some other algae
eating fish that is considered 'peaceful and will not harm plants.
Any suggestions ?

Which should I add to my tank?I have a 125 gallon freshwater cichlid tank
and the ammonia level is still a little higher than I would like it.I am

I put my betta in a big tank with some rosy barbs, and they munched him,
badly....
he is still alive, and eating, what can I do to nurse hime back to health?

how hardy do you think a small aquatic crab would be (no specific species -
