What is a good reliable heater for a 6 gallon tank? It seems that most
heaters are designed for 10 gallons and above (50w)?
And while I am at it..what's a good online fish store around now?
Thanks!!

does anyone have a link to plans for building your own canopy ?

I am thinking of putting a convict and four red bellies in an empty 150L
tank. Will the piranhas bite me when I'm cleaning the tank?  They'll only be
about two inches long when i get them. I dont want to learn the hard way.

On Saturday I moved my aquarium roughly 15 miles across town. I used 5 new 5
gallon buckets from a local hardware store (rinsed 3 or 4 times with hot
water, then soaked in bleach for 10 minutes, then rinsed 3 or 4 more times
with hot water). In one bucket I put maybe 1/3 of the ...

I guess this is a very bad idea, but I thought I might as well ask here.  I
have NOT done it, and probably never will.  Anybody ever try to tint the
water blue-green a bit?

I have recently decided to add a photos to my 1gal.,
1 betta bowl. I would like to know whether aquarium
salt or epsom salt are harmful to the plant.

My Dwarf frogs have bloated tummies!
Why?
What to do?

My silver angels spawned nearly a week ago and the fry started free-swimming
today. I don't have room for more. Any hobbyists in Wisconsin are welcome to
pick up free juvenile silver angels in a few weeks.

I have 6 plecos (Gold Nugget, Mango, Yellow King Tiger, Blue Eyed Albino
Ancestrous, Royal and a Queen Arabesque) in a tank with driftwood and have
not figured out how to keep the water clear.  Does anyone know how to do
this?

I'm afraid the losses have been staggering. So far I've lost:
1 Zebra Daneo
2 Guppies (Male & Female)
2 Neon Tetras

I am thinking of buying red belly piranhas and a convict to put in an empty
150L tank, will the piranhas bite me when I clean out the tank or will they
just go to the other side of the tank? I don't want to learn the hard way.

Im moving 8 miles across town, whats the best way to move my 55 gallon fresh
water fish? For a minute I thought about buying a 25 gallon trash can to
move as much of my current water as possible, then I remembered that Im not
strong enough to lift that much! The fish tank move will ...

Just got a new PC and I can't figure out how to get in to these groups.
I have been using my webtv for this thing for years now but would like
to learn how to do it on my pc.  Also I would like to set up a no spam
addy.  Any help would be great.

Lost the Swordtail, confirmed the death of the 2nd Neon Tetra, and the
Dwarf Gourami is playing death too often for comfort.
The good news is I have been doing water changes. I'm hearing
different variations, so I've decided on twice per week with a 15%
