Sounds Good! In my 20 gallon right now I have 4 adult mollies and 9 babies/juveniles. I will QT the Venezuelan Cories in the ten gallon for a month or two before putting them in the 20 Gallon and moving the 9 babies into the 10 gallon. The 3 mystery snails will probably move to the 20 long as well.

Oh, ok. I also have a 20 Gallon tank that has a bunch of Mollies in it. The Corys at the pet store are about an inch long, so not full grown yet. Could I keep them in the 10 Gallon temporarily (To make sure there is no disease to infect my established 20 Gallon). If I were to go the pygmy cory...

Hi! I have been working on re-doing my ten gallon tank this last week in preparation of new corys! I gave it new sand, because the old substrate looked nasty. (I seeded the new stuff with sand from another one of my tanks) I also put in a few new plants and a piece of driftwood. I kept the same...

Hello! I have been using Aquaneat LED lights off of Amazon for both of my tanks. I absolutely love them! They have different warmth of lights, brightness levels, and they grow plants really well! However, one of them has started to fail and act funny. (when I press the change light mode button...

I don't have a GH test kit, but I use unsoftened water.

I just dip in a 1 gal bucket and pull it out, make sure water going in is the same temp as water going out. I do not vacuum the substrate yet, but I do have a vacuum for later.

Hello emeraldking! Thanks for the help. My female molly has stopped opening and closing her mouth, I am aware of cycling and all that comes with fish in cycling. I took an aquarium camp over the summer and the guy running it said to do 10% water changes a week, even when it was cyclingo_O...

I would wait until she gives birth in the tank, then move the fry to a breeder box. This takes a lot of stress off of the mother. You can feed the fry finely crushed fish food, or if you feed them brine shrimp, they grow fast. You could also try feeding her a boiled pea, in case it is...

Bettas are very aggressive fish, I personally would not reccomend any tankmates. You could buy a few live plants, but be sure to buy root tabs. I would also do weekly 25% water changes. That is what I do with all of my fish.

Hello everyone, We had a 2 hour power outage tonight and my two mollies are acting strangely. This is a new 10 gallon tank, it is still being cycled. I currently do 30% water changes 3-4 times a week. It is currently 10 o clock at night where I live, and we are going camping tomorrow. Sorry I...

I am also wondering... Can I use the same food? Or should I buy new food. One platy food can is ~9mo, another one is ~4mo and the cory food is ~3mo

Like FishFur said, there is no single medication for this. I am currently going through fish TB in my tank, and there is no cure for it. Do you have another tank? I would recommend to quarantine any fish with symptoms. Don't buy any new fish until ~2 months without symptoms, if worst comes to...

For bleaching the tank (20 gal.) how much bleach should I use? Do I need to disinfect the air pump?

I'd just like to say THANK YOU for all of your help. For months (close to a year now) my fish have been sick, and I could never find anything on them. Even though the outlook is grim, I am glad I know what is happening. Now I have a summer project, cycling my tank again! Hopefully fish tank 2.0...

Ok that sounds fine! I am trying to keep this as low budget as possible, so no lid would be good. I have the air pump and sponge filter, so all I need is the tank. I will wait for all of my fish to live their lives, that transfer the snails, then bleach the tank and restart. How many of each...

I am actually thinking to upgrade to a 2.5 gallon glass tank for the snails. I could fit more, and it would look better for about 15 dollars. Do I need a lid? In my tank I have 20-50 bladder snails, 15-30 ramshorn snails, and countless malaysian trumpet snails. I know I can't save them all, but...

I have many of these in my aquarium... though they dont exceed 0.75 cm in size.

Yes, for betta sororities, FEMALE ONLY! Wait a little while so you can tell if one is a male. Does your wife know how to take care of fish? Can she recognize bullying? From what I heard at my LFS, the more fish, the less bullying. Especially if you are getting a 35 gallon, I would get 7-10 fish...

I have a 1 gallon acrylic tank, could I keep the snails and a sponge filter in there? I just don't want anything to die if it can be avoided. There would be no fish in the tank, only snails. I know these may be stupid questions, but Also what about dirt/substrate? Can plants handle bleach? How...
