Good day friends! I hope all has been well :) An acquaintance of mine adores frogs. He wants to start a heavily-planted 125 gallon (473L) for albino ACFs We know how predatory ACFs are. He's okay if they aren't compatible, but if so, he'd like to add tank-bred white wizards, ivory mysteries...

Actually, both aquariums and ponds can go with or without water changes. With proper conditions, such as a Walstad, an aquarium can go months, years, or its entire lifetime without a water change. This is how all of my aquariums run, with only occasional top-offs However, the reason why ponds...

Hey there! Sorry to awaken a dead thread, but how are the fish doing? I've been running a small betta rescue since 2012. Since then, I've rescued >300. I always enjoy hearing others' rescue stories, even if some may not consider them as such :)

You know, it's only been since getting this Korean phone with Brave browser though. It also doesn't work on my new Chromebook using Chrome browser with UBlock. Maybe the website is just confused with the adblocks or new devices, as I used to use an old Nokia and broken Chromebook with Chrome and...

StarGirl Rose of Sharon Lucy thanks pals! I discovered something interesting; as usual, when I try to access Fishlore, I "don't have the permission to access this site" but it's not due to my phone; rather, it's due to being connected to wifi. I found someone who posted about being unable to...

Hey friends! What's new? Any new tanks you have pictures of? Recipes? Pets? Hobbies? Tell me everything :) For me: my bro recently bought a new phone and gave me his Galaxy Jump2 (the Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy M22). Since then, Fishlore was blocking my phone from accessing this site...

Hello friend! I noticed you wanted an answer from me so I'm here to give in my 2 cents. I apologize for the late reply :) Your betta is a male doubletail with a false egg spot. He's about 7-9 months old. The doubletail (or twintail) betta breed, like ryukin goldfish and balloon rams, have 2...

Oh yes, I should've mentioned: I know that these supplements are gluteraldehyde, that it's used in hospitals as a disinfectant, that it's toxic in high amounts, and that it's often used as algaecide. The one thing I never knew is that folks use vodka. I'd never heard of this method before! How...

Hey all! I was doing aquarium research as usual, and started thinking about "liquid co2"; seachem excel, aqueon leafy green and api co2 booster. I started wondering if people who inject co2 have experimented using liquid supplements for "high maintenance" plants; dwarf hairgrass and dwarf baby...

If a blood red parrot cichlid can, your fish can too. I actually tried aragonite 8-9 years ago for a community tank and it didn't seem to have any adverse affects :)

Hey friend, butting in to say maybe you can keep khulis...specifically, black or neon kuhli loaches, as they stay around 3"/7.5cm-ish (compared to 4"/10cm of your typical striped kuhlis.) I've kept many black, gold, and neon kuhlis in the past and, to my dismay, they have extremely low...

It should be, but if you wish to increase pH, you can find other ways as well. Of course, you can purchase liquids to raise pH but folks often have success using plain baking soda! Let us know what works for you. Good luck ;)

fishywoo is right; stick with jarring! You can use cheap Ball jars or if you wanna go all out, buy some of those big, expensive jars. Plant them or decorate them however you want, or keep them plain for ease or maintenance. It's up to you :) I also want to note that you must keep an eye on the...

You think this is just some weird mutation then? I've been growing java ferns for a long time and I've had many varieties...don't think I usually see leaves like this but, then again, I haven't had java ferns (besides Windelov) in a couple years :)

Absolutely! In fact, that's where a lot of people start their betta breeding journey. However, bettas bred for petco and petsmart resale don't often have good genetics, as they're primarily bred for color, finnage, or size instead of good genetics. I've been keeping, rescuing, and fostering...
