Hi friends, so I'm by no means new to the hobby, I currently have a 30gal planted a 9 gal. Planted patty breeding tank and a 2 gal nursery for the fry. I also have a 14'x9' x4' deep pond planted and stocked, my question is, I'm in the process of cycling a 75g and I have been running it about 2...

Hi I was trying to figure out if I'm over stocked on fish in my 30 gallon. I'm not a new fish keeper so I kindly ask that you don't explain the whole 1 inch rule or get on me about the fish that are in the tank. It's a transition tank so most of what's in it won't be in 6 months. With that out...

Thank you I'm in the process of cycling a 30 and 5gal tanks , 5 is gonna be for hospital tank but neither tank has any sub yet so I went and got pool filter sand yesterday . I have a question that may seem elementary but in my many years of fish keeping I have only had tanks with gravel or no...

Are Cory's not good in the type of substrate I have, I'm sure you can tell it's just a bag of color pebbles from petsmart, and if it's not the best for Cory's what would you recommend? That will also be safe for my sailfin pleco , and rainbow shark, I assume basically anything is fine for my...

OK thanks I am way under the inch per gal. But I won't lie I think that is a bad idea to go by in my case because my sailfin creates waste like a machine, so I figured I'm getting to the high end of what is good for a 30 gal. I tend to like the more fish look so I have many times found myself...

I asked this same question few days ago but I now have pics . My Cory has a white spot on both his sides directly across almost like it goes right through him and there are white spots on his pectoral fins where they touch the spots on his sides. I'm pretty sure it's not ich because it's no...

I have a 125 and it took me years of playing around with different fish to get the look I like and the action I felt that brought the tank to life. My final stocking(at least right now) that provides great fish movement and a overall calm setting is, 1 sailfin pleco, 2 Bala's , 3 angels , 2...

I have a 30 gallon tank with a hob filter that is sufficient for a 40gal tank . I have some live plants. I believe they are anubias . I have had the plant for over a year so it covers approx 1/4 of the bottom of the tank. In the tank I have , 1 Glo fish that is a tetra, 1 penguin tetra, 1 dwarf...

I have been trying to get one but they move so fast I'll see what I can do

I have a Cory with a single white bump on his side right where his fin touches. It's raised off the body, best I can explain use it looks like a little whitehead? My tank gets weekly water changes, filter changes once a month, ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate around 40ppm and ph 7.4-7.6. temp 78° and...

Yes the size does create a issue I really don't know why I don't just toss it in the trash. I have 2 29gal a 75 and a 190 and as soon as I can im planning on having a 325 built but the issue with all my tanks is space and the one gal is going in my kitchen to make the wife happy . She's been...

It came with a little submersible aquafin it's takes the little filter cartridge that's maybe 1 1/2 x 3" ish and when it's running it basically dribbles water out the front. im only guessing but ìm 100%sure it easily filters the tank volume in less than a hour. Now i have been told that pygmy...

What can i stick in a 1 gal tank i know a pair of neons is probably ok or a guppie or 2 maybe a single cory im just wondering if anyone had any better ideas and i would really prefer to have more than 1 fish. I was wondering about a few shrimp or a crab instead of fish

Ok so i feel kinda dumb but I'm the guy that until last week thought all this hospital tank talk was extra expense and work that could be easily avoided. However i am 100%wrong on thinking that and had to learn the hard way. I got a dwarf gourami from pets mart and that was my first mistake i...

Thanks everyone for your help. I ended up getting a plastic food safe container that is 60gal i think it will be big enough i left the mollies and tiger barbs in the 29 and the sub, hard scape and filter media was all kept wet so it's basically a cycled container and will help quickly set up...
