Yeah I was asking a few other fish keeping friends and once they saw the tank they were questioning how it happened too. It has a LOT of java ferns and my Val is always needing to be trimmed back. So I’ve not had any crashes or anything since it was fully cycled years ago. The worst I’ve had is...

I checked the levels just now and there are no dead fish today! Nitrite was at 0.25ppm. And normally I wouldn’t have changed the sponges because I know that can be a huge problem HOWEVER they were so mucky I couldn’t clean them and some were falling apart. And I’m not talking about little bit...

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 55 gallons How long has the tank been running? 3 years Does it have a filter? Yes. Fluval 307 Does it have a heater? Yes. 2 adjustable heaters What is the water temperature? 78F What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and...

Plants have been sold, if admins could close this post please.

Tank and equipment has been sold if admins can close this post please.

I just did a big trim up and removal of a bunch of vals from my 60-gallon tank and felt bad about tossing them out. Figured I'd offer them up here. $15-20 (including shipping) depending on how many you want. I've not sold plants before but I'll have them wrapped in damp paper towel in a ziplock...

Yeah, I wanted a large lazy dog who didn't drool a lot and had as few health problems (or chances of developing health problems) as possible. She is perfect and I'm very glad that I did my research before making the mistake of getting a dog I couldn't handle. She's a sweetheart, easily trained...

I could do that, though again, more research for me to do. And I've got ramshorns and bladder snails in my other tanks so I'm not short on those, lol. I can easily get frozen bloodworms too. I've never had them so I'd have to research them a bunch too. I've got snails (as mentioned above) and I...

I've already got a 3 gallon shrimp bowl and as much as I love shrimp, I wanna do something different with this tank if I can. I've got a couple of betta too but would rather something else if I do just a full aquarium with it. Which was why I was thinking of something really small like chili...

Yeah I wasn’t sure honestly. Didn’t expect with win the tank, lol. I’ve seen a few examples online of vivariums and palidarium setups for the 9.7 gallon but I knew the footprint was awfully small and wasn’t sure fish would work for it because of the small size. I kinda wanted to try a...

Yeah I was thinking some nano fish maybe? Do a vivarium and put some galaxy rasboras in the bottom? or chili rasboras? maybe clown killifish? just trying to look at options that would work with the small footprint

I recently won a UNS Prism tank and figured I'd get the biggest size, a 9.7 gallon (L11.81 x W11.81 x H17.72in / L30 x W30 x H45cm) . Plan is to either treat it as an aquarium or a vivarium. Thing is, either way I need to think of stocking and was wondering if anyone had any ideas...

He's been lying on the crypts, heater, and sponge filter in the back so he's got plenty of places to relax that won't cause any more trouble and allow him to hang out near the surface easier. I'm just surprised because it kind of came out of nowhere. He had eye issues for a week or so, then it...

I got this koi galaxy betta from a good breeder 2 years ago. I believe he's about 3 (as I'm pretty sure the breeder waits until they're a year before selling them) and within the last few months, he's become blind in one eye and unable to swim well to the surface. He lays on the bottom most of...

There's quite a few nano fish that are colorful. Celestial pearl danios, dwarf emerald rasboras, endlers, guppies, green neons, blue neons, mountain minnows, rice fish, etc. Rasboras are all pretty decent though they can be on the smaller end of things and I found dwarf emerald rasboras in...
