Not all aquarium plants need substrate, although many do need something to tie down to if they aren’t root feeders. For those plants that are root feeders, a substrate must be provided since there isn’t enough nutrients…
All air pumps work pretty much the same - they have a small pump that sucks in the air that is around the pump, and pushes it into the aquarium (or tubing). The only difference is that there is a battery instead of the…

Cichlids with turtle?
I just recently put in some convict cichlids with my turtle, since they are more aware especially at night when other fish just tend to stay in the same spot and don’t really move until it’s too late. The biggest thing…
I would avoid having more than one turtle in the same tank, unless you have a pond that is of bigger portions so that if a turtle is getting harassed by another, it can actually swim away (vs. swimming in the same tank…
We actually cover this pretty common question in our getting started article; https://aquariu.ms/article/2-freshwater-getting-started-guide/#aa92ef09-heaters-thermometers Below is the specific section that answers your…

Fish species?
Those two look they are both Gold (Chinese) Barbs, with slightly dull coloration from either their generics or a poor diet.
Well, looks like they changed the 24 hour flash sale for these into the full month of May 2022. I've updated this as the sale is on!
Ultimately, this tank is just an extremely weird height and size, and even for a Dwarf Gourami as and snail tank, it just gets way too dirty too fast that requires a ton of maintenance to clean (ex; draining a vast…

Shrimp Specific Tanks - Ideal or Avoid?
For all of you shrimp keepers, have you seen the recent line of shrimp dedicated tanks that many retailers are trying to sell recently? For your given shrimp species only tanks, do you tend to use dedicated tanks like…

Do you use multiple types of filters on your bigger tanks?
In some of your bigger tanks, do you tend to have multiple different types of filters, or do you just use one specific one? For example, an internal filter and a canister filter, or a hang on the back and canister, or…

How do you handle your corals when moving?
When you are moving, either between houses or out of one location to another, how do you make sure that your corals are packaged correctly so that they don't die or break apart? Do you make sure that you bring along any…
FYI, it looks like Petco is having a "Flash Sale" on all open tanks, similar to this type of sale, for the rest of the day (appears to be a random 24-hour window they selected).
Just a small update, I completely cleaned out the tank from all of the leftover lettuce over time leaving a lovely mess (drained about 30 of the 40 gallon tank). I’ve also purchased another surface skimmer to help push…

What size do you normally buy your corals at?
What size do you normally purchase your corals at from any seller, and does the size matter on what type of coral it is, or is price more of the controlling reason?

Have you used mollies in a saltwater tank?
Since mollies have a special ability to move through pure freshwater, to brackish, to saltwater, many people use these fish to determine if there are any issues with their water quality in their tanks since they are…
Since many fish can actually be completely different in terms of behavior with other species inside of a tank, have you ever had to return a given fish because it just didn't fit well with the rest of your tank or other…

Do you know how long that is has been like this by chance? Have you tested any of the water parameters, and if there are any other fish in the tank, are they showing similar symptoms or are they still looking healthy?

Foods for dwarf frogs
Most people tend to feed them food that they feed their fish, but ideally worms (smaller worms that can fit in their mouth), pellets that can sink, sometimes flakes, but ideally anything that can fit in their mouth…
I've found that keeping African Clawed Frogs tends to be a species only tank (due to their size, and fast movement to catch any smaller fish that move around/above them) unless you have a large long tank. In terms of…

Fish and Vacation
I tend to buy an automatic feeder and place various food in it, but making sure my vacation isn’t longer than a week and a half up to 2 weeks (many of the automatic feeders on market can only supply enough food for…
