  I have a planted, ten G with various fish including two long finned
rosy barbs, which I love.  All the fish seem to be doing fine except for
one of the barbs, which, all of the sudden, seems to have lost all sense

i have the following setup in 20 gallon tank
4 zebra danios small ones (added in 1st week)
3 platys (added in 3rd week)
3 emarald green cory cat fish - (added in 3rd week)

I just got my Eheim 2128 in the mail.  The box containing the thermo

At the moment I have a 10 gallon tank with 2 platys, 4 flame tetras, 2
cories, and 1 pleco (couldn't find any other algae eater).  As the pleco
grows, I will need to consider getting a larger tank.  Ideally, I'd like to
get something much larger, somewhere around the 30s or so.

In my tank (160 litre) I have the following:
1 x Speckled Balloon Mollie (Male)
2 x Black Mollie (Female)
2 x Silver Mollie (Fenales)

I currently have an empty 40 gallon tank.  I'm looking for suggestions on
what type of cichlids I could mix with my 4 silver dollars.
Thanks,

I was at the LFS last night, thinking of getting a few more Corys as buddies
for the two I already have.  (They are labeled as Corydoras punctatus, but I
believe they are actually C. leucomelas.)  The LFS uses a relatively fine
gravel, maybe 1/8" diameter.  I noticed that their ...

I have a newly cycled 10g tank (planted) with 1 platy, 1 marbled hatched, 5
zebra danios, 8 baby platies, a small snail and 2 otos. I do a 20% water

the mouth.
HELP
Any Idea what it is and what will fix it?

Anyone found a good way to stick on backgrounds?
I've just been wraping around the back and taping the edges, but there has
to be something to put the background flush with the glass. Lately I've
squirted some water between, smoothed out with a credit card, but that's

We have had a cycled community tank running for a couple months now.  we had
4 blue tetra's that were healthy yesterday(at least seemed to be)  but today
there were 3 deaths.  Tested the water and there is 0 amm, 0 nitrite, and
6.6 ph.  Now I am pretty sure the PH has been neutral ...

Hello.  I'm new here and new to keeping fish.  I recently got a 70 litre
tank and I got it set up and my first fish in - 6 White Cloud Mountain
Minnows.  Everything seemed to be going well - the tank cycled beautifully,
the fish appear active and healthy and I've now added a small ...

Something funny here,
Anyone ever had their furry friends take an interest in algae wafers?
My cats managed to open the container and eat them all!!
They've always been interested in the flakes, which I could understand

My fish tank is situated in a large apartment livingroom.
Unfortunately, my tank has been suffering the occasional fish death -
