I'm interested!

Hi! Interested in at least 3 neons to increase my school- they just got a new 55. Also interested in frogbit or other similar, large floaters. Will do shipped but would love to buy local... anyone in NM? Thanks! Lmk costs etc.

Hey! I'm stocking my first 55 gallon. What would you guys recommend? I'm interested in maybe a ciclid tank (unsure how many) or an angelfish and community tank. Other thoughts? I have bettas, a livebearer community tank, and 2 20 gallon community tanks. Any advice is appreciated!

Here is my big guy... any thoughts? Fin shape made me think male but I really don't know. Thank you!

Hey! I took in a pleco a few weeks back and am curious what kind he is. Any ideas? He is currently 7 inches long. Also, just noticed these small holes in one of his fins. Thoughts on how that happened? No fin rot on anyone.

Are they ready? How much each?

Hey! Quick question. I want some advice on how to split certain fish between two tanks. One is about 20 gallons exactly, the other is a 20+ gallon bowfront- maybe 25? unsure. I want to distribute the following fish between the two tanks: - 1 dwarf gourami - 1 pleco ( about 6 inches) (yes, I...

Today, I'm letting one of my guppy fry out with the rest of the guppies- finally big enough! I did a 30% water change (harder with a broken finger ) and then redecorated the tank a bit at the advice of some of you lovely people. Then, I hand fed a sick fish I'm trying to heal up for a sweet...

i've always heard you should never try to move a filled tank. I would never try with a 10, let alone one that big. I just don't think the glass is meant to take that kind of pressure... seems very scary to me. Plus, it is at least 500 pounds, as water is 10 pounds a gallon, ish. So, save a very...

I've raised and distributed barn kitties in the process of fixing our ferals... good luck to you and its a great thing that you're doing, keeping a barn kitty. How on earth did he manage to do that?? Poor little guy.

Bettas can definitely co exist with many of the species you have mentioned. However, their ability to tolerate other fish is in my experience directly proportional to the size of their tank. If the other fish are in their face all day, they are waaaay more likely to attack. Even in a 10g, my...

Hm, okay. I dont know why either, then. Is it not accurate?

here is where i got this from.... m

Also a beginner at this... It is super colorful, so I would normally suspect a male, but the top fin is rounded, not pointed, so i would say female. I may be wrong, I've also been trying to figure this out with my gourami

That makes sense. I have some ciclid pellets that are fairly small. Maybe I could use these to supplement the gourami as the tetras probably couldnt eat them? I'll keep using flakes though

Cool! So not only is it not an issue that mine aren't eating at the surface, you actually prefer yours not to? Got it! It is just harder to be sure everyone is getting enough that way for me. But if they are happy i am

while something being "backed up by science" doesn't have any meaning to me, as it is currently unsupported, i would be interested in reading the article that comes from. I like natural gravel, but it would be cool to read how that study was carried out. Science is real! But sources are important

How do you put it below the water line? Maybe I don't quite understand you here. I'm glad they will learn. They are eating, but from the sinking food. I've had them for around 2 weeks.

That's what I've been doing, but I feed around 10. I'll try earlier. I am honestly not sure what kind he is- I think just a common pleco. Nice jaguar print though. Black and white. He will need to be rehomed eventually, or I will get him a nice big tank. He was kept in a 10g for the longest time...

What kind of filter do you have? How often do you do water changes? I would say maybe a snail or a ghost shrimp or two but it is pushing it so I wouldn't recommend it.
