I have 5 peacock gudgeons living in my 60 gallon tall and I'm not positive about their sexes but I think I have at least one male (the focus of the video) and possibly 3-4 females. Not sure if these guys are mature yet, maybe someone can share their knowledge on these guys. They are about 1.5"...

Recently I have been having a problem with brown spots in my aquarium. They are very small and can be scraped off easily, but I have been noticing them on my sand as well.

Hi guys, New here! Just looking for any advice or criticism. Its my first attempt at a planted tank and I'm still learning :) I finally got my betta into her permanent home. She was my very first fish purchased from Aquabid and she's awesome. The tank is a 10g, I tried going for a more heavily...

Hey everyone, I’m very new to the aquarium hobby. I have everything purchased and I feel like I’m setup for success but my plants aren’t doing well. I have a 10G, and I’m currently doing a fishless new aquarium cycle with plants. I have a bunch of Java fern, Pearl weed, crypts, moneyworts and...

This should be a fun one! A little over a month ago I dug through my pile of aquarium supplies one day and setup a tank for my girlfriend's daughter. Then sometime around yesterday morning it occurred to my that with this equipment I need to just go for the planted tank I always wanted. I have...
