20 gal tank with tetras, 2 black molly's, one orange molly, clown loaches,
few others and a large pleco.
I have 4 or 5 medium sized shells in there, one is used as a home by the
pleco.

I have a 10 gal freshwater aquarium with some small common store-bought
fish.  I had a red-eared slider turtle in there for a while, but let him go
in a nearby pond because he got too big (I live in Texas where they are
native).  I had snails in the tank for algae but the turtle ...

I was thinking about moving my Pl*co...at some point in the future he will
go to the 120g but not yet, he is in a 39 high right now w/ gourami's 1
adult 3 spotted, and 2 baby three spotted....I was thinking about moving him
to my female betta tank because it is 40 long instead of ...

Hello.  Don't know what I've done wrong or how to change it.  My
pearlscale started to sit on the bottom at certain times of day.
Mostly in the morning and at night.  As soon as I put food in he is by

I've kept my tank between 80*F and 81*F.  I'm wanting to bring it down to
about 77*F.  How long should it take with a room temperature of around 74*F
??...It's been 6 hours since I adjusted the heater and its still on the warm

Hey there,
I'm looking to interview a tropical fish expert for a 45-60 minute
session.
This person "must" be a qualified expert, preferrably with some decent

This past week I have had nothing but betta trouble, my fish did not want to
spawn, h*ll, I had two that decided they wanted to be friends and play
instead of doing what I wanted them to...ugh
Finally I found two who seemed to be ready, except the female is a bit of a

I have a common plecco that has become a monster in my 29 gallon tank,
and it needs at least twice the space that it currently has.  It is
about 9" long (max size 18"), and his head is more than an inch across.
The fish is basicly a gentle giant that swims around my tank when

I keep my small quarantine tank in my kitchen below a shelf of plants.
Currently I have one male crowntail betta in this 2.5 gal QT tank. It
occurs to me today that I can't recall the last time I watered my
house plants so mix up some Micracle-Gro plant fertilizer and watered

I'm one to feed fish knowing the feel of hunger. The tankmates I have  
gleem the aquarium from top to bottom and all points in-between.  I feed  
them twice a day and they seem to be starving. My concerns are obvious.  
Am I being conservative towards the amount of food I'm giving ...

I posted before but used the subject new fish and it was all ready a post so

I went to oddball aquariums today and got two female betta's, one male (just
