Hardest fish to keep?
Many say that Discus are hard to keep due to their specific water parameters requirements, but I think there are a ton that can also fall into that due to their diet (such as freshwater puffers, and not the pea puffers)…

Breeders stock illnesses
I’ve noticed since the pandemic that a lot of the common fish stores tend to now have breeders who have more genetic issues, or they are seemingly coming in with more illnesses than before (or normal). I’m not sure if…
You mostly want to look for any pure white on them, or for there too be no color (and for some they do not open up even if in the right parameters). Do you have any photos by chance?
Looks like they just changed the ads and wording to be the “50% off sale” - not sure if we will see this progress after this sale date or not, but something to be aware of in case you walk in and don’t see the normal…
I’ve honestly wondered this as well. I’d assume if more freshwater species get added that are harder to breed, and if there is a big enough demand along with stores willing to stock a saltwater variant - it may be…
I mostly believe that they have it this way since freshwater fish are normally far easier to reproduce in captivity, whereas saltwater are still mostly taken directly from the ocean (although this is improving as time…
Please let us know if you have any suggestions or complaints about the theme. I’be personally tested it on my device in various browsers but nah not have accounted for every use case.

I know that with any type of coral, it really is all about making sure that you have the right lighting, nutrients, and also making sure the tank parameters are setup correctly. Having any one of those off tends to be…

Modern Tank Design Materials
Have you recently walked in a pet store, and noticed that a lot of the newer tanks (specifically below 30 gallons) tend to now use a mixture of plastic and glass, or glass and acrylic? I feel like when we get more…
I always use root tabs before I add substrate, and then liquid fertilizers as time goes on. I’m sure you could push down a ton of root tabs into the substrate again if you wanted too or more near the roots of plants if…
Sadly like a range of topics, many either just don’t know, or have received false information from others (even other websites or communities) and they think that it is correct. With Ich specifically I have seen this a…
It’s back and running again! Time to get those tanks on sale!
Looks like Petco is back to doing this, not sure if other big chains are. I know most of the local shops in my area are still taking returns (that is - if it was in their policy to).
I’d have to say when I adding in a pretty badly attacked black knife eel as a friend was tearing down their tank, only to notice a day or two later that it completely killed all of my other community fish in the tank…
I tend to dip the plants a few times in vinegar and a light copper solution (as copper kills snails and most invertebrates). Then I rinse them throughly in water to make sure the copper treatment is gone so it’s safe…
I honestly wouldn’t be too shocked if things don’t settle down until COVID-19 is gone or at least handled a tad more better. Even then it’ll be curious on how many of these events stay as online events, and how many do…
I would probably say the aspect of needing more equipment. A ton of times you can get away with just a tank, heater, and filter with freshwater - although saltwater requires more equipment for daily use and for…

Do you wear gloves when working in your reef aquarium?
Do you wear gloves when you work inside of your reef aquarium in order to not get poked/bit, or do you wing it and watch what you are touching and what is around you at all times?

What is your preferred substrate depth?
Since everyone has their own personal opinion on how much substrate they like, if they want it level or at a grade around the tank, and other aspects. What is your preferred substrate depth and does it vary from…
I normally just rinse it thoroughly with water, and then test the water with a bigger spectrum of parameters to see if it is releasing anything toxic (or has something toxic coating it). If so, I just try to rinse with…
