First time I ever spawned betta's.  I believe it is the first time
these two have as well.  I get a 10 gallon aquariam set up.  Have a cup
with some plastic wrap so he can make a bubble next.  I get home from
work today, and both their tails are split in half... but they seem to

Given the current concerns about climate change, we're getting serious
in my household about reducing out energy use .  We don't own a car,

One of my Black Mollys some time ago had some problems, like her back was

I just picked up a 2213 for dirt cheap on Craigslist. I plan to use it
supplement an HOB on a 55G that's home to one juvenile Oscar.
I'm looking for recommendations on what would be best to stack it with. Any
input would be much appreciated.

I've just sent up a new 3 foot tank (4 days ago) with loads of plants.
No fish yet. I have been 'feeding" the tank with some food and the
stuff is going all nice and furry as uneaten food does.
Ammonia has measureed at Zero from the beginning (I am guessing the

I have a betta, not sure of his age but probably about 2 years old.  No
change in tank, water, etc. he is in a 1 gallon lighted tank with underwater
filter.  This past month he has been laying around 95% of the time, on the
bottom of the tank.  He was eating a little bit, albeit ...

I have a fish, a platy that seems to have a real problem,...I think that
it's a problem with it's swimming bladder[?], because it's constantly
struggling as it swims to stay level, bobbing upwards, and then
struggling to get back down to where it was. Is there anything that a

I am a long time lurker and first time poster.  I have enjoyed reading the
different posts and opinions.
I have a 5 gallon octagon tank.  It was home to a guppy and apple snail.
The guppy, which I raised from a fry, has passed on and I would like to find

I would think about heating one of my betta tanks to a little warmer,
but how would water changes work?  Right now I have some water sitting
out to age and become room temperature before it is time to do a water
change.

Hello everyone.  I am trying to get my first tank set up (55 gal).  I
have read much on the web about initial set up of the tank and being
that i have 2 small children who i did not want to explain the many
deaths that could be involved in doing a traditional cycle, i decided to

Can a male betta be put into a community tank?  Namely with white clouds and
tetras?

Three months ago our betta had a small bump at the base of its tail

It's white and doesn't appear to have any fuzz on it.
