The yellow one seems fine. I’ve had them for about a week now. I thought because of how bad they looked, they might not make it. However they don’t appear to be dying. The yellow one acts completely normal. The red one is a bit slow swimming, but is eating just fine. I think the slowness is...

I recently went and picked up free fish tank from offerup. The fish tank was in horrible conditions! Anyways it was a ten gallon. Inside were 6 platy. 4 of the platy look fine, and I went ahead and separated into ten gallon tank (they will be rehomed after quarantine). I’m going to go ahead and...

I have no recent pictures, but here’s a video of today’s feeding : I have no resent pictures, but here is today’s feeding ( ignore the ugly plants, I Have no clue what’s going on with my dwarf sags). There’s the two bigger girls munching, and the boy. You can see he is shy, he was just staring...

I have a trash tank. It’s a ten gallon tank that I throw in the unwanted. I have it my room, and I keep saying I will get rid of it, but never do. There’s 1 leopard danio ( he is a bully and murdered my other danios, so he moved to this tank). He has half of its scales missing because of the...

Don’t throw in too many snails at once or try to populate them in with them. I’ve tried. They slaughter them all. Once they are full, they won’t eat them, but they still hunt them down and kill them. Then You have rotting snails in the water. I keep my snails in separate tanks, and feed mines a...

Possibly. Didn’t really think it might be that since I don’t see any snails. I have put snails in there though. Originally I set up the tank with ramshorns and figured I let them populate and then introduce the puffers. I thought the tank would be self sustaining. I did that and they wiped...

I currently have 4 pea puffers in a tank. I feed them snails through tongs. Two of the pea puffers (two girls) eat from the tongs. The male eats it when I drop the snail (he is tong shy). The fourth pea puffer is my latest addition. She has been around with me for about 4 months. During...

You can glue it to a rock or piece of wood. If you have crazy glue, that works. Or if you have thread, you can also tie it.

Hi, anyone selling small or medium cuttings of Java fern at a low or good price? I need a lot. I’m trying to set up a tank, and I’m really starting to like the look. Mainly need them to decorate the cranny between rocks and such.

Me! I use black garbage bags to Create a background. I just tape the corners. It looks great. I used to paint them before, but I found that this method is easier and less messy and pretty much looks the same.

I have a couple of tanks right now, and looking to get rid of some. There’s one inside my room that’s starting to bother me, so that’s the first to go. I’m working from home and I really need the space. I have one ten gallon that has yellow Neocaridina growing. It is a shrimp tank only right...

Oh those are really pretty! I’m going to try to make them today when I do tank maintenance.

I’m having a hard time with my tank. Any ideas for a black sand substrate, black background, black lava rock , Amazon sword , and dwarf sag tank? It’s for a ten gallon betta tank.

Out of all the fish that I have ever had, I would say that pea puffers are my number one. They are more personable than any other fish. You might now see them from across the room, but if you step close to the tank, they do come out to greet you. I have them by themselves and a couple of shrimp...

I tried this. I had one of my guppies give birth, with nowhere to place the babies. I decided to feed them to my pea puffers. It doesn’t work, they won’t eat the baby fry. Mine just left them alone. However, when the guppies grew older, they did start to fin nip them, so I ended up just...

I think all pea puffers are like that (at least mine are also). I have to swing my tongs in front of them until they see it. If I just throw food in there, they pretty much ignore it.

Looks like a bladder snail or pond snail. They reproduce very very quickly. One can reproduce to hundreds in a couple of months. I have a few in my aquariums. I think they’re good with algea (also nice treats for pea puffers). They are pretty harmless , and don’t eat plants. Edit: I didn’t...

Hi may I have some?

Not sure if it’s green hair algea or green slime algea. I had this a couple of months ago. I dosed hydrogen peroxide , cut the light for a week, and tried manually removing it from tank and plants. That worked for me. I also have been keeping the light on for less hours, and I haven’t gotten it...

The second one looks really nice. Add just a few carpeting plants, and maybe move the farthest to the right rock (the one with the hole). Maybe tilt it slightly to the left like the other two pictures. I really like that rock by the way. I personally don’t like the look of black substrate and...
