Hey just thought I would see if there is anyone in the Western Wyoming or East Idaho area. It is pretty sparse here for fish enthusiasts, but it would be great to know if there are any others nearby.

My office has recently decided that we want to add a Betta to our work family. At first, everyone was excited about a vase/plant/betta combo, but thankfully were happy to listen when I said that was a terrible way to house a fish. What is the smallest tank that would be comfortable for a betta...

My cat used to only drink water from the fish tanks. Recently, I got him a waterfall water dish and now he only uses the tank as a launch pad to reach the upper cabinets.

If my googling has proven correct, I believe this guy is a Fiddler Crab. Just looking for some verification and advice on care if anyone can give some. He was a gift and a surprise at that. I want to make sure I've got his habitat set up correctly. Thanks!

A friend/acquaintance recently gave me 5 new fish and crab for a tank that I felt was already well established. From what I've read, the Fiddler should not be in my full submersion tank and would best away from the other fish and on his own. The tank has 22 fish, including the new ones. What's...

If taking the fish back is a difficult solution as the nearest Walmart (where they were purchased) is 6 hours away, should I be looking for other solutions? Are there temporary options for housing fish that don't require a lot of set up? The nearest fish friendly pet store is about 2 hours away...

A friend who had worked at Petco believed himself to be a fish expert and although I was happy with my calm and happy tank, decided to show up at my house with 5 new fish. I didn't ask for these fish and had previously stated how happy I was with how my tank was set up. He had purchased 2 Red...

We currently have 2 male and 3 female platys. As far as the other fish, these are the ones that the woman we bought the tank from gave us. She cut down the number of fish in the tank to help us newbies out. Very likely, we will just let those guys in the tank now do their thing for awhile...

I spent yesterday evening cleaning the impeller and inside the impeller well with q-tips and it works!!! The filter came with the fully established tank, so I got it secondhand. The woman I purchased it from had bought it from Amazon last spring, and it was supposed to have a lifetime warranty...

Sorry for a bit of a jumble, just pulled it from my profile: 36 gallon tank 3 Neon Tetras 6 Peppered Corydoras 5 Southern Platy 3 Glowlight Tetras 1 Nerite Snail 8 Various live plants AquaClear 110 Filter Aqueon Pro Submersible Heater Coralife Aqualite T5 HO Dual

I've owned my tank for exactly one month. The tank was already established with various fish, live plants (need to be identified), filter, light, heater, air stone, and decorations. So most of the hard work was done before it moved into my home. I feel as if I've been playing catch up, but am...

My boyfriend and I ony recently purchased a 36 gallon tank, which included the Aquaclear 110. Today at some point, the filter ran itself dry and when we returned home at the end of the day will not run at all. I'm hoping there might be an easy solution, as purchasing a new filter would not be...
