How to Choose Compatible Fish for Your Community Aquarium

Unfortunately, one of the last decisions that are often made is according to the stocking of species, whether it be fish, shrimp, from the species, or the number of each species that is going to live in the aquarium. Commonly, a species is normally only bought based on color and appearance. As a result, many new aquariums fail to thrive and many species may either get sick or end up dying as a result.

How Water Movement Contributes to Aquarium Species Health

Having the correct water movement does indeed play a critical role in making sure that fish, invertebrates, and even corals/plant species have their optimal health. Water movement is most commonly discussed in saltwater tanks due to the movement of waves, however, it's just as important within freshwater tanks.

    How many tanks did it take before you noticed that your house was either getting overrun by different fish tanks, or that you had a good problem and needed to possibly downsize?

    What is your overall best recommendation when it comes to a cheap, but decent-quality, LED fixture that will last a few years at least?

    Very good points - are there any specific type of paint that you had or could you possibly use a thicker type of spray paint to achieve the same thing?

    I personally have painted a few of those particleboard-based stands, and I would honestly highly recommend it for a few reasons;

    1) You can ensure the stand doesn't have the cheap, thin, and sometimes not wholly covered paint on the stand
    2) You can add…

    I limit the amount of time my aquarium light is on to slow down the algae growth, I make sure it's on in the evening though so I can enjoy it so that means maybe I turn on the light a bit later in the day :)

    Anybody have experience with the plastic / resin driftwood sold at pet stores? Interested in your opinion on having them long term, like are you overall happy with it? Do the colors fade over time? Do it have that fake feeling even underwater?

    Do any of your lights have an automatic dim feature to prevent the whole light going on from the dark, or being on and going to pitch black at night?

    If you have, let me know if this makes your fish feel more secure since instantly turning the lights on…

    Well, this is probably old news. It seems like they don't sell fish no more and haven't for years. Well, when I was a kid they had them, though. Why did they stop?

    It was a hobby as a kid. Well, I'm not sure if I messed with fish "that much". Anyway, I got into fish because they were fascinating to look at.

    When I was a kid, I'm sure I overfed them. They died often. That was probably the reason.
