I recently bought 6 of these fish from an online vendor. They all see really happy and healthy but I noticed that there was only one female in the group. The owner of my LFS said that the males said that the males would kill the female by their constant advances. Is this true and if so is there...

I have around 12 juvenile buenos aires tetras (around 3/4" long) that I would like to get rid of. I live in Brentwood northern CA (east of San Francisco) and would prefer not to ship them. I would like 1$ per fish, plants or a true julii Cory would be a welcome trade. Please pm me for more...

One of my bloodfin tetras has a pimple or hornlike growth on his lower lip. I have seen cases of it before, (it destroyed my tank over the summer) but this would be presenting in an unusual way. Normally deterioration of the jaw appears on the same day that the white growth does, along with...

Well, I've got my tank up and running again after columnaris and neglect from my fish sitter over the summer killed all of my fish, and I believe adversity can be an opportunity in disguise. The tank is doing better than ever! I've already had buenos aires tetras that were in the tank for less...

After columnaris destroyed my tank over the summer, I sterilized everything and and have almost finished cycling the tank. It is heavily planted with a sand substrate. I want a community tank with a large school of small fish (neon tetra sized), an attention getting fish that can draw your eye...

I bought 3 blood fin tetras yesterday to fill out my depleted school. On of them has what looks like a growth coming out from its jaw. The mouth appears normal to me other than that lump. The fish can't eat, every time it tries the food just bumps into its face, like it can't produce any...

I went to petco today and saw this plant, no one could identify it so the manager gave me a bunch free. What is it?

Will cories of different species school together? I want to get a school of cories for my new tank but none of the LFS near me have enough of one species, so would they be okay if I bought a couple different species or does the school need to be only one species?

I need about 10 or so Red Cherry Shrimp and would rather not have them shipped (Its still hot here). Anyone between Bakersfield and Los Angeles have any they wouldn't mind selling? NOTE: I am taking a trip up to Fresno this weekend (October 5th), so I'd be willing to get them up there, but only...

I have a tank that is 13.5" long, has 6.25" wide side panels, and is about 10" deep. Would the 10" fixture fit over the tank? And how much light would it produce? I have Anubias, Christmas Moss, Moneywort, and anacharis (which may be taken out). Will it provide enough light for everything?

So I've finally got my tank cycling! Its not much but here it is: So far I've got a moss ball, a clump of anacharis that I've spread around, 3 clumps of moneywort, and 2 tiny anubias. I think I want to pull out the anacharis and replace it with another tall plant, I'm thinking about corkscrew...

I'm getting ready to start cycling my aquarium but the only non-scented ammonia I can find also has something called surfactant in it. Is this okay to use for cycling my tank? or do I need to keep looking for pure ammonia?

I plan on filling my first 5 gallon tank with a colony of red cherry shrimp. Since they have such a low bio-load (afaik) I think if I try to cycle the traditional way I'll build up too much bacteria that would die and damage the water quality once I put the shrimp in. Are my fears founded? or...

I have an old 5 gallon Aqueon mini bow 5 gallon starter set that I wanted to use for guppy breeding. A little later on I want to try adding some red cherry shrimp. I have a list of 5 plants that I think that I want to use: Anacharis Hornwort Moss Ball Anubias Java moss Are all of these plants...
