I'm looking into setting up a biotope aquarium but it seems to me that's
quite limited to the number of fish and plants.
For instance, the kinds of tetra's and cories differ greatly from the
different kinds of South American River.

It has been a long time since I had a tank around the house. I have a
pond in the back yard with messy old goldfish and mosquito eating
guppies, however, that is not the point.
I have acquired a 50 gallon tank, set it up with plants and rocks, and

I've been out for a couple of days, i've fed the fish before i left and
right after i came home.
about 3 hours after i came back i've noticed one of the fish (small red
one, something like a neon but red) had inflated like a balloon, u can

okay, so here's the deal.  i was thinking about trading all my tetras
(because they're mean and they nip) and perhaps getting a male betta.
i have 2 male swordtails, 3 male guppies, and also 3 corys.  i don't

Hello, I was wondering how I could take good aquarium pictures? The
ones I can take now, you see the flash, where water has dropped on the
glass, and the over all quality usually isn't too good. When I try
taking pictures without the flash, it, the picture, has even lower

The school where I work has a tank with goldfish in the reception area
which has always been looked after by one of the teachers (successfully
and well, I think); however he left at the end of last term and I have
been designated term-time-goldfish-looker-after on the grounds ...

to fertilise a minnows egg with a goldfishes milt? it would be ...

Has anyone successfully kept Paradise fish with other species? I think that
this fish is awesome and I would like to keep it, however I would like to

Do bettas behave like any other fish when in a relatively large (55 gal)
tank?  I didn't want to get one and find out that it just stays in the
corner blowing bubbles.  Are there any issues keeping them with cardinal
tets, angelfish, etc?  I had one a long long time ago and I don't ...

I live in a rural area in northern Oklahoma near I-35.  Anyone know of a
decent place to acquire a tank in the 30 gal range?  I'd love to go larger
but lack the space at this time.  Also a nice supply of fish and other
accessories.  Walmart's stock isn't that impressive.

Hi, I have a Fluval 2+ filter (one of the completely under-the-water types).
It's been running fine for a month or so but lately it keeps losing
pressure. Instead of firing a mighty jet of water it has reduced to a
trickle. I've "fixed" it in the past by unplugging, taking it apart ...

I have a tank with 2 Male Dwarf Gouramis and 4 Serpea Tetras.  The tank has
two large live plants and plenty of large rocks to hide out under.  The two
male gouramis are constantly fighting, but they seem pretty healthy so I'm
not too worried about them.
