I put 15~ Ramshorn snails of them into a newly established 5-gal tank. They had no biofilm to eat, and unfortunately went after my plants, which are now shredded to the base. I also put 2 assassin snails in there to eat the Ramshorn snails, because I have an infestation in all of my tanks. Will...

I'm praying this isn't Neon Tetra disease in my new Ember Tetra. Just got a few and put them with my Chili Rasboras.. One of them has some white/pale blotches. He's sticking with the group and ate just fine when I fed them not even a minute after putting them in the tank. I had a previous case...

I have 4 Chili Rasboras in a 5.5 gallon tank. I know that's too little for a schooling fish, and I used to have more, but they died (I know what the causes were and fixed the problem). I have been looking for more Chilis, but I can't find them anywhere within a 40 mile radius. I know this is...

I'm not sure if there's anything such as a long shallow tank less than 5 gallons, but I'm looking for one to start a new project. Ultum Nature Systems Rimless Low Shallow Glass Aquarium Tank Something like this, but a lot smaller. Does anyone know any brands that might sell these as nano tanks?

I got my betta around two months ago and I was just recently looking at old photos. I found that he has changed from white to almost completely black. He's not stressed at all right now, so I'm thinking that when I got him he wasn't actually white, but white from stress and now hes turning to...

So I decided to put my empty acrylic 1.5 gallon to use and make a pico reef tank. However, I am on a very low budget and plan on getting just 1 or two corals. I got a really good dry rock center piece and got a cheap clip on light, and planning to get some white crushed coral sand. The light I...

My Curly Amazon Sword just had one of its stems grow over 1 foot long overnight. It also has sprouted some weird white seed pod thing out of water. This is the plant, I'm pretty sure it's Amazon Sword. A little cramped in my 5.5 gal. This is the stem that sprouted around the entire perimeter...

My tanks all have at least half of the water column taken up by plants and floating plants. My 10-gallon is pretty much only stocked with water lettuce from top to bottom. I've never had any nitrates in the past year, and I don't even dose ammonia removers. Only a few fish and snails in most of...

I'm going to be honest, I haven't done a water change in any of my tanks for 2 months now. I only change it when the water level gets too low, and even then I've just been putting in more top water and vacuuming for a few seconds. I test the parameters every month, and they're always the exact...

I got a male betta about a month ago and he is living in a 5.5 gallon tank. I want some shrimps to put in to clean the tank- snails produce too much waste. I was thinking ghost shrimp but I really wanted some cherry shrimp. I don't know how my betta reacts to other animals but he just stopped...

Yes, he stayed in the same spot and blew out a lot of bubbles that came out all at once.

No, he's only ever did it that one time. It's mainly just him at the surface blowing an absurd amount of bubbles from his gills.

About a month into getting my new male betta, as I was feeding him I noticed he started doing something really weird with his gills that kinda freaked me out. At first I thought he went to the top and started violently splashing, making a bunch of bubbles spew out so suddenly I thought he got...

Thanks! Is a 12 hour day/night cycle too much? Should I limit the day time? Unlike my other fishes, I never see him sleeping when the lights are out.

I just got my male crowntail betta 3 weeks ago. His head has always been white, but I don't know if that stripe had always been there. Does it look like a stress stripe? He's been eating readily and and still active and swimming all over the tank, and he just stopped the constant flaring at...

I just got my male betta 4 days ago and he has recently started flaring up whenever he sees his reflection. It's only on the front side of the glass, not the background, and he's doing it constantly. The tank is sitting on my kitchen counter and I can't move it, and I don't want to cover it up...

Okay so I just got my betta, and it turns out my glass covered heater has cracked. This is my second time buying one and they've both come cracked and chipped. I'm going to have to wait a day or two until I can go out and buy one from the store. Will the betta I just got be fine in 67-72°f water...

Hi, I was considering getting a betta and maybe some shrimp in this 5.5 gallon. Is it too small? I feel there's not enough plants or decor in it. I have 3 different species of amazon sword and two water sprites so I know it'll take up the water column eventually, but it still doesn't seem like...

Hi, I am planning on setting up a new 5.5-gallon tank for a new female betta and maybe some cherry shrimp. That picture is my current 1.5 gallon (nothing lives in it) with my driftwood, two huge Amazon Swords, and something that looks like pennywort that I'm trying to grow out. I will be...

Thank you, the fish I have are neon tetras! Also, I didn't really want to lower the TDS until I looked it up and saw that high TDS could cause your fish to go into shock, so I kind of rushed on here to see how to lower it. But if it's harmless, then I'll just leave it be. I've thought about...
