Ordered some prime! Thanks for the reminder

Anyone else’s mystery snails ride your hands? My little guy is rather comfortable exploring around and rasping on my hands and I’ve never seen anyone mention this before haha. It’s an odd feeling, but I wouldn’t call it unpleasant. It’s actually kind of difficult to get him off once he’s on...

A big thank you to everyone who has responsed Yeah, that’s a major point. Those bills must be MASSIVE. I agree, having an online store definitely would be needed today’s world. That should be a relatively easy thing to implement, but getting a positive reputation when there is already quite a...

This is something that has always made me curious... what is the reality of owning/establishing a fish store? I’m not sure how many/if any people here do more than causal selling of excess fry, but I would like to hear the opinions of people. I am but a sophomore in high school, entertaining...

entering my betta boy again

Betta girl feasting on bloodworms! This picture was taken about 3 years ago, but I still love it.

Anduin!

Others have already said to give to your LFS, but I would I would like to add the suggestion of calling ahead. Some stores simply won’t accept fish, so making sure ahead of time would save some headache. In the case that no fish stores will take them, I would try Craigslist next.

So, I honestly do not know what this is, but I know it’s not Ich. If possible, I was separate this fish ASAP. If you don’t have quarantine tank, a decent sized tub will work if you have extra tank supplies laying around. While the other fish seem unaffected, it’s a common precaution.

Ah! Makes complete sense. I’ll see if I can go to the LFS again this weekend and pick up a couple more females. My current gal is faring well in there at the moment as the aggression has died down a bit, but she would definitely appreciate friends and a tank could always use some rescaping haha...

Alright! I definitely would like more platies as I love the little buggers. Sounds like a good plan as far as that goes. I’m working on getting dense groupings of plants, but at the moment there is pretty decent driftwood and rocks to break up some line of sight. If a group of platies go well, I...

Hey everyone! I have a juvenile Angelfish with quite a bit of spunk. (S)he is housed in my planted 36 gallon and I’m a little conflicted. He was the first inhabitant of the tank and lived alone for a bit until I added a tiny bristlenose. While curious, he has left it alone without any issues. I...

Thank you! I checked out AquaHuna, and in the future if I’m not able to go to my LFS I’ll for sure use it. Luckily for me, I have an absolutely giant LFS local to me (The Fish Place, Buffalo NY. Great place) You see, I would honestly love to have an Angelfish centerpiece, but I’m very...

My plans are finally solidifying! It's been a bit, but I finally feel comfortable with going ahead and stocking my tank. It's been minimally stocked for a while now, so time to figure out a final plan. Current stock... 1x 1.5" bristlenose 1x female platy (any fry she drops will be rehomed)...

I was looking around for pictures of pearl gouramis and, well, I stumbled upon this. (Here is the link back to the source. Hope this is alright.) I was honestly horrified, this fish barely resembles anything like a pearl gourami other than the obvious colors and such. It got me thinking. Now...

Well, I don’t think they are bad aha. I absolutely love how they look as well, and they do in fact have several health benefits. That’s why I’ve had them in my own tanks! They just kinda need to be replaced every once in a while because they breakdown into a mulm and, well, it kind of turns into...

Hey! From personal experience I know that those leaves might get quite messy when they start breaking down. It was a issue with my similar style tank when I wasn’t smart enough to remove the leaves and replace them with new ones after a while. Though, I was using a different leaf. Not saying...

Just wanted to double check, as the stuff I have experience with is the light coat that will cover new driftwood. This stuff is on dang near anything.. most is on the heater, which I find a little strange. I recently tore down and set this tank back up for unrelated issues. I’m pretty sure it’s...

I’ve read through everything here, and while I don’t plan on joining the debate, I thought it would be interesting for NevermindIgnoreMe to offer some photographic evidence of their tanks/their goldfish. I feel like people would appreciate seeing what your supposedly healthy fish look like...

Yup! I actually have a single angel in my 36 gallon at the moment, and he is perfectly happy. He follows people around and wiggles for food. Tankmates right now are only a bristlenose and a mystery snail, but I plan on a stocking similar to yours. I really doubt it will feel lonely.
