Currently there's 6 skirted tetras, 6 sterbai corys, 2 clown plecos, and 1 opaline gourami. I'm going to be adding 4 more skirted tetras for a total of 10. Also considering addding more corys, but I know those will get larger. I would like to add another schooling fish. Possibly another type of...

Thank you for all of this. I'm still a young back in the fish hobby. Right now the heater is positioned vertically on the far left of the tank right next to the intake of the FX2. The outflow is just inboard of the intake. AC temp is never set below 73. Wife and daughter get cold easily...

21 inches

Not comfortable with the Fluval e300. Just a gut feeling. I know that the temps ( 77 on one end and 75 on the other ) are safe, but it's the face that no matter how much I adjust it higher it stays at that temp. I went to LFS today and bought an Eheim Jager 300 and HOLY . this thing is...

Sorry for poor pics. These dudes were in with some fish we inherited and I'm having a devil of a time finding what they are.

My daughter has worked at Petsmart for a little over a year. Each store if very different.and the amount of "give a " will vary form one employee to another. Some stores are clean and you can tell that at least someone cares while other are horrible.We have 4 Petsmarts and a Petco within 10...

Oh yeah. Obvious photoshop as are most of these.

This should be fun. Over the last few weeks I've been looking at a stand for my 55 gallon and I always find the images of the aquariums amusing. I'm still a noob and I see a lot wrong.Experienced people tell me all that's wrong here.

Right now both are nada and the tank is still in the box in the garage. I know out of the tap out water is faitly hard, but can these parameters be adjusted to get what you need for the fish? The pictus look cool, but from a quick search it seems as though they may get a but large for a 55. The...

I've been reading and reading and googling and googling for weeks until my head is spinning. I'm wanting to do a South American theme as I will be tranferring 2 electric blue baloon belly rams from the 20 where they currently reside. They are both still only an inch long. I'm seeking advice on...

Currently the plan for the 55, which is still in the cardboard in the garage, is to rehome my daughter's best friend's fish. She is moving out of the country in a couple of months and we will be taking her lone angel( still trying to figure out the specific one) 6 neon tetras, and 1 cory of...

Oh good. Something i read on the internet was true.

Same white skirted or could I do some black skirted just for visual variety? I think I've read where they are essentially the same fish.

Thank you very much. This is exactly the explanation I've been loking for. I've asked this question across a few social media platforms and you are the first person who has offered an explanation beyond "do it this way". Also, I absolutely plan on using a sponge filter or two. Not just for the...

Good day, all. I could use some guidance. Currently my 20 gallon high is stocked with 2 white/gold skirted tetras, 4 green corys, and 1 rubber lipped pleco. What can I add to have harmony and not be oveerstocked? I could move the 4 male guppies and 3 albino corys from the 10 gallon or I should...
