Yeah that’s been the worry I’ve had :(. I’ve got a very sturdy stand for my tanks currently, and I could manage to downsize into a 20g (of course removing some fish along the way as there would never be enough room for all of them). But at the end of the day, if the floor boards can’t support...

To make a very long story short… my partner and I may be in the position to get a camper. We don’t plan to live on the move, it’s going to be parked and remain parked. Can they even support a tank? This is, obviously, a very good offer we have but.. would it mean the end of having a a tank? All...

I originally had an Aquarium Co-Op rig, but after I managed to break a screw I reached out for advice. They are discontinuing the sale of them, as they’ve had a massive uptick in regulator failure. Sad, but now I’m sort of at a loss for what to buy? I’m running co2 to a 65g tank. My co2 tank is...

It’s not so much a problem with his temperament but his size! I have frankly massive zebras. They could fit him in their Mouth- he’s long enough, I think, but he’s so skinny. And yes.. I know the algae on the walls is bad. It’s the project I have to tackle next

That’s certainly a good idea. I’ll call around my LFS and see if they’ve got any, that was I can make sure they’re the right size. He’s a handsome fish, but he’s certainly proven to be one heck of a trouble maker :p

To make a long story short, back in November I found a baby zebra danios living in my unheated, unfiltered spare tank. The assumption is that his egg was laid on some hornwort in my 65 w/ a 12+ school of danios, survived being moved into that tank, hatched, and somehow little man lived.i got him...

Thank you so much for this reply. I knew it’s always in the water, I just wasn’t sure if it tends to be more aggressive once it’s taken hold in a host. And I didn’t know that about bleach! I was worried I would have to run bleach, then dechlroinator, and it would be a very tedious and water...

I just wanted to give an update, as I euthanized her today. We’ve spent the last 18 days trying everything we can to fight this, and nothing worked. We thought it was a fungal infection, but I think I can safely say it was Columnaris. Initially, it was nothing. Silver spots on her fins. Then...

Oh good— I was told that some of them start showing signs of age around her time. When I checked on her a few hours after this post, her mouth seemed clearer, so I’m not totally sure what was happening. jic, I’ve been doing 10-25% changes daily and dosed with Melafix— As for the coloring...

One of my girls is an older betta. I got her as a retired breeder at about 1.5, and I've had her for about 6 months, so she’s around 2 or so. Shes in a 10g since she was having trouble in my 20g— couldn’t swim down and up very well, slowing down, etc. she’s doing good!! I did notice something...

She’s made it over my shift and is starting to poop. I’ve immediately started a bath

I haven’t tried feeding her again yet, I will try when I get home. She pulled through the night and is behaving the same as last night. So, fingers crossed. The only good thing is that she doesn’t seem to be in pain or suffering? It just looks bad. We’ll see in 8 hours :(

I appreciate the realism. She is still fighting hard but we have done an Epsom salt bath. Hoping for the best, but being realistic. Shes active enough that I have trouble catching her, she just cannot stay upright at all. I just didn’t want to make her needlessly suffer, but after she kept going...

I’m skipping the preface so I can quickly get an opinion. My bet female (20g with Cory cats and Otos and pest snails and that’s it) is frantically struggling and extremely bloated. I have no idea what’s wrong. Should I even try to help her and just euth? I adored her and she looks like she’s...

When I first got into the hobby, I got a handful of ghost shrimp from my local store. I didn’t expect them to kick-start a love of all interverts— like my name suggests. One of the coolest things was that I became good at recognizing all of the 7 shrimp separately. They had different ‘markings’...

Oh fascinating! It always eventually falls off. Just an interesting quirk of them compared to my mystery and the other snail I have— which I’m not sure what it is lol

Ahh I see :D:D I’m a very literal autistic person and totally missed that

Thank you all so much! saved to consider! Thank you I tried googling but I couldn’t find the FishDin brand? I did see gladiator— is that ones generally labeled as metal garage racks? Yeah, I was really critical of my dresser when I first decided to try it out. Got my partner to sit on either...

I currently live with my parents, so I’m able to use one of their extremely old metal computer desks- the kind those big ole 90s-2000s bubble PCs ran on. It’s help up fantastically for my 65g, but it’s ultimately theirs. Keeping such a massive (and heavy) tank, I want to know what stands you...

Or just downright annoying.. (pond snails) ;)
