For reference, I have posted here before regarding the design of a
large outdoor tropical aquarium, integrated with a tropical water
garden.
The overall design continues, but I am struggling with the filtration.

I'm new here, so.....Hi everyone :)  
The issue that brought me here is a very old high fin tetra that ha
become very aggressive.  I started out with him and many others of hi
kind 3 years ago in a 10 gallon tank.  I was a newbie then and los

I just came home with one of this giant brandy goblet things that I
plan on using as a fish bowl - it was a total spur of the moment
purchase! Anyway I am about to set up the bowl I read on this webpage

Just started fishkeeping again after 25 years ,I need your advice with a
problem that most of you have had.When I started last october with 4 platies
6 corys 3 dwarf gouramies everything went very smoothly until platies
started to have fry.Now I think even the fry are having fry  ...

Iv got a big 45cm Oscar, What should i feed him?

Okay, I am at a crossroads.  I need some wisdom and info from some in here.
I am about to get into Mpimbwe Fronts.  I really think that they are
beautiful and would like to think about breeding them.  I want to but a
large tank to house about 10. 150 gal?  I think if I stay with ...

Okay, I've had my heart set on getting 6 Mpimbwe this week, but the store I
ordered them from got 7 Stripe instead. What is the difference? What is the
difference in any Front for that matter?
I want the largest, most striking Frontosa out there. Are they all similar?

I've just filled a new 48"x24"x16" tank. After a few days of running
with just the filter + heater the water tastes like plastic.
I ran the canister filter in the laundry sink with a few changes of
water for a day before attaching it to the tank.

I took a chance and added a young, blue betta to my little community
tank two days ago.  I never know what to expect but things are going
well.  The betta flared and lunged at the rasboras a bit, but they're
already adept at dodging cichlids so they shoaled up and swam away.

My current heater isn't keeping a very consistent temp for me so I am
shopping for a new one.  From what I've read the Tronic and Ebo Jager
seem to be the two top picks.  I'm confused at how the word
submersible is used.  Is the Ebo Jager only partially submersible?  I

Anyone have a couple of these to spare? I have a really small tank (2.5
gal) and only need one or two of each to keep the tank clean.
Thanks.

I had ordered a SeaClearII 40 gallon tank from Petco. They drop-ship those
from the vendor. It took them more than 6 weeks and when it finally arrived,
it was broken :-(
Since I got vacation now, I wanted to set up the new tank. So I called about

"American Aquarium Fishes"

ordered it.  four hundred some pages, 8X10 inch format, lots of
