The Journey to Georgia: Part 1 Our story begins during a frigid North Dakota December. My husband received orders from the Army that we are moving to Georgia, which didn’t exactly thrill me. I love North Dakota. Sure, it’s cold and kind of boring, but it’s home and my entire family is there...

Hello my friends! Long time no see! A new story coming soon. Flora's Great Cross Country Adventure! We moved to Georgia from ND at the beginning of the year and had to share the trials and tribulations of moving a fish across country. Story is in the works. I hope to post it soon! Hope all is...

Betta Luck Next Time! Life has been pretty boring on the fish front in the best way. The girls have been doing great. No deaths, no illnesses, no drama. So, there haven’t been many stories. But we have been doing a little training. However, it was not been as fruitful as I’d hoped. A few...

I loved my ember tetras! I definitely think they'd be fun. They also, in my experience, have schooled up well with neons, so you could get a mix of both. They do great with cories in particular. What type of cories do you have? Also I don't think anyone would object to you posting some pics, if...

Welcome to Fishlore!

The Carnage of Columnaris This is a tragic tale, full of loss and confusion. It’s the story of a girl who loves her fish losing them all, yet again. Prepare yourself for anguish. Okay, I’m being a bit dramatic, but this is not a happy story. Be prepared for death and lots of it. So several...

The title of this thread brings me so much joy I can't even tell you! Looking forward to reading more and seeing the pics!

Thanks so much! I love my fishies! I'm so glad you guys enjoy their adventures too.:)

The Enchanting Escapades of Aurora: Part 2 Once upon a time, there was a sweet, baby fish princess named Aurora. Her palace was a tall, five-gallon aquarium. The princess ruled over her kingdom with meek, gentle wisdom, always exploring. She loved to roam through the tall plants the far end of...

I know people have already mentioned danios but Long finned leopard danios might also be nice. They are very active and come in a variety of colors.

The Enchanting Escapades of Baby Aurora After my new five-gallon tank cycled, I began wondering what type of fish would suit the environment well. The tank is kind of a blackwater tank right now. The large piece of driftwood is releasing lots of tannins into the water. So, I researched fish...

I am so sorry for your loss! That is such a tough blow. There is no way you could have predicted this. I’m so sorry!

Adventures in Aquascaping Hello my lovely, fish friends! I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I wrote, but it’s been a crazy time. Work has been extremely busy, and my free time has been spent outside. Summer up here in ND lasts all of five minutes, so I’ve been spending a lot of my free time...

Your tank is looking great! Thanks for the pictures. That pink water plant is absolutely incredible.

Sorry guys! It's been a crazy couple weeks! I have had no time to write. Don't worry I will definitely update soon with my aquascaping post. My plants have really grown in the last week and a half so I will have more stories to share.

Yay! So glad the integration went well. Those Cories are just adorable! I'm looking forward to seeing the ones you add.

Yes! Cories are the best!

Just found this thread! It is a joy to read and unbelievably educational. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and your sweet baby plecos with us! Looking forward to reading more. Congrats on your new babes!❤️

Wow! What a journey! I hope all is going well with your new fish. Please include pics in your next update! (Sorry I don’t mean that in a pushy way. It’s just always fun to get ideas from others.)

Flora of Fury Flora’s transition into the 5-gallon was seamless. She thrived. The tank handled her bio-load easily, so easily that algae began to grow quickly. The glass of my tank was soon covered in the slimy film. I scrubbed it clean but began looking into getting a snail to help with the...
