How to decorate.....?
I like having a theme! If I'm going for pirates and mermaids then that is cute and fun. My dad just bought what he liked in the store and added things but it was kind of hodgepodge at that point.

How big....?
What kind of fish do you want and how many? What size is the room you're putting it in? Go big or go home? I guess that phrase could work. We have had 50, 75 and 100 gallon tanks and the 100 gallon was too huge.

Anyone have a pond?
I don't have a pond but we do have the space for it. How much is the initial investment, does anyone know? Maintenance probably isn't a huge issue but I'd probably hire a pro to help out.
I think some eat lettuce or other veggies! Mine would be how can you control colors of fish with food? There are some color enhancing fish foods to buy that have the proper ratios of fat and carotene from what I've…
I think 10 days is way too long to go without feeding your fish. Since most people have cameras in their homes now for security, you can also put a door lock with a code on the outside of your place and hire a pet…
I would buy only items that are specific to the type of tank you have. You need to think about how things degrade over time and you want something for either your freshwater tank or for a saltwater and to know it will…

250 gallon Orinoco River
That's absolutely amazing!! Do the panels on the bottom open up for storage? How long did it take you to get all this arranged the way you wanted it?
I think you're fine ethically to purchase the product for the reason you want to use them. Don't worry about the shops because that's not your responsibility to tell them how to run their business. Buying a couple of…
I didn't know they still encouraged small bowls for bettas? My mom had one that lasted for years and she had a small aquarium but it wasn't as small as the ones in the photos in this thread. There was a lot of room for…
Most of my dad's friends had freshwater tanks, so it just made sense that we got one too to join the crowd. It was fun driving around with the group to different pet stores in search of that elusive fish they wanted for…
As others said, overcrowding is a mistake, but also underfeeding or overfeeding. My husband was told by the pet store how much to feed per fish and it wasn't enough so the entire tank died of starvation. Also, people…
My dad used to rearrange his tank a couple times a year. I think he thought he was improving the quality of the fish's life by doing so. Maybe he thought the fist got bored? He liked to buy new plants and hiding…
My dad regretted purchasing large Angel fish because they started attacking the other fish in the tank! I always thought angel fish were pretty, but I had no idea they were so aggressive. Eventually he chose to sell…
I voted for community. The reason is because I think that certain fish have a specific role in the tank and they all benefit one other. That doesn't mean that all my angelfish are going to get along with other species…
Sometimes you have to make their area smaller and that could mean trying to work two different nets at the same time. If they shoot to an opening you'll have a better chance of capture with a net in both hands.
We had a 75 gallon tank when I was a kid, so to me the worst thing that happened was when the larger fish would eat the babies right in front of me.
We never filled the tank completely because we had fish that would jump out of the opening in the tank cover.

Pay more for designer tank?
There is a tv show where fish tanks are designed especially for their clients and some of them are really cool looking but also extremely expensive. Would you ever consider paying to have a tank designed for your home…
