Many people think that having an aquarium is not a suitable option for people living in small spaces. However, there are many small fish that can thrive in a small aquarium and make great pets. One option for a small…

Need little adviced
I would agree with everyone here, I would advise against that since they require completely different water parameters. And to one other member’s point, what did you end up doing in terms of tank mates for the given…

How long has it taken for your driftwood to sink?
If you have ever purchased driftwood from a store that isn’t in water, you'll notice it always tends to float. How long did it take for your piece of driftwood to sink (and did you boil it, or weigh/tie it down to…
Good list, I'd probably do 3M 6F for the cherry barbs (the males really stun with their coloration). If you aren’t worried about breeding, I’d even suggest your original 4M 5F or split more makes than females due to…
Plenty of people do - it's the whole premise for “hydroponic systems” that take waste (from fish) and will use it as plant food since their waste is high in many nutrients. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If the fish are fed correctly and have a rich diet, I’d think they could make it about a week. I’d agree with buying an aromatic feeder and setting it to run every other day vs. every day to increase the length it will…
I think it really depends on the tank size and setup. A few tanks look amazing with just one species that is highlighted with the aquascape. Others have their aquascape to more or less reflect the habitat that you may…

Is Superglue safe?
I think it depends, I’ve seen a handful of aquarium/aquatic safe superglue, but the issue becomes when you use normal superglue it actually will just dissolves over time in the water in chunks. I’d be super careful on…
Might grab another tank or those canister filters they always have 50%. I’ll be curious though on how many my local store has since I know plenty of people who buy >1-2 and then try to resell them later online for close…
I’d always recommend to just go for a general idea, and then write it down or use photos online to make a rough draft of how it would look. Then keep rearranging them until you find something that is appealing to your…
I normally tend to fill mine up all of the water. For me, seeing the top of the tank below the trim (unless it’s a rimless tank) is kind of not that lovely (plus it’s wasted space where more water could be to have…
I think it’s more about saving costs now than anything else. Especially when they save on paying for a panel or two of glass and can swap that out for plastic or acrylic on some tank kits. I’ve never seen any type of…

How are you holding up in Texas after the power outages?
With the huge power outages for a week plus for many in Texas, how are you all holding up? Were you able to find a way to keep your fish tanks from freezing over, or did they not make it sadly? Sent from my iPhone using…
Probably the worst thing for me was a heater malfunctioning and basically shocking or overheating my fish while I was sleeping. Definitely not a fun time getting them all out while also getting shocked slightly until I…

Anyone have a pond?
Since there are tons of ways to house freshwater fish, do any of you have a pond and have it stocked with fish? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wish that someone could share those images from the official Petsmart and Petco accounts. Maybe one day these fish will have their correct conditions to live as other tropical fish (heaters, filters, etc.). Sent from…
Negative, it holds it in the start but that’s really about it. Water is just water, and all the vast majority of the beneficial bacteria is held within the filter media you are using (substrate if undergravel filter, of…
I’d probably say a small 5 gallon, or even those Fluvial Chi tanks are ideal. Not only because of the size but due to their shape and how they can pretty much fit anywhere, while also being within the few gallon limit…

How big....?
100% recommend that you go the biggest you can since it allows for more chance that water parameters get out of wack (takes more time to have an effect), allows for you to get more fish to add in which give the tank a…
100% agree with Prime, although honestly they are all almost the same even the ones from Tetra, Aqueon, etc. Prime just has the best track record for doing what it says it will do exactly to the T Sent from my iPhone…
