Hi everyone, So I have 2 fish tanks that are up and running and doing great now since 6 months. My mother wanted one as well so we started the cycling for one. There are no fish in it yet, only fake plants, filter, heater, etc. The local fish store helped me start cycling it, it is cycling as...

Hello fellow fish and aquarium lovers! So in the past few months I've been in a horrible burntout, which does not excuse the fact that i have been neglecting my betta fish, but it does give the reason as to why. I will start off by saying that my betta lives in a fully cycled 5 gallon tank...

The water is cycling now. This started because my daughter’s Betta was mean to her mystery snail. So things have…escalated. It’s a 10 gal tank.

I have recently added 8 neon tetras to my 80L tank which has been set up for 2-3 months prior to introducing the neons. The tank has been fully cycled before adding the tetras as I had put 3 nerite snails in the tank 2 weeks before adding the tetras to help remove algae and the snails have been...

Help! My yellow cherry shrimp has been acting very weird. He has a black spot on one of his legs (I included a picture), and also has been laying on his side and upside down flailing his legs. Is he having trouble molting? My other shrimp have molted just fine, but he has been acting like this...

On my birthday, my friend got me two little fancy goldfish and a ten gallon tank. I had been researching for many months but haven’t had the balls to ask my mom for one. With my info, i am very aware that a good rule of thumb is 20 for one + ten for every other goldfish which means i’m 20...

I noticed that my otocinclus's sucker mouth seems to have algae or something stuck in it. There are just little green specks all over his mouth that I can see on him. Is this something that I need to worry about? If so, what should I be doing?
