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…

DIY hood
I'd be concerned about making my own hood because of the materials that are used could not hold up over time. Then you'd have to buy a new hood anyway or make another and it's not as cost effective. There are some…

Power Cuts
Invest in a whole house generator or even a standalone generator is something to look into. Your tank wasn't cheap to buy or to fill so think of it as an investment. You want to keep that investment safe and you care…

Signs of Overfeeding
When I was a kid I was guilty of overfeeding the fish. My concern was always for the little ones who weren't as aggressive as our big angel fish and I wanted everyone to be happy in the tank. But I soon learned how…

Cloudy water
Did that clear things up? Any gravel or sand you have on the bottom can have dust as well that could cause the water to not be clear. How long did it take to clear up once you figured out what it was that made it cloudy?
How long do these battery ones last? Do you need to replace the entire pump or just the battery once it will no longer take a charge? In the end, is it really worth it?
Every fish tank is going to need regular cleanings. The fish, the food, the plants and even light will all affect what happens on the inside of the tank. You want to keep the fish healthy so you'll do the same types of…

Algae eaters?
After reading this thread, I guess I don't know all the technical names of the algae eaters like I thought! We had 3 or 4 different kinds in our tank and they were mostly just ugly ones that swam at the bottom. We've…
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…
Tiger barbs are some of my favorite schooling fish. There is another breed of fish that I can't remember the name offhand and I can't even remember if they're in the schooling category. Tiger barbs are really cool and…
Turtles like to have fun so don't just rely on a tank. My friend has a turtle and she has various "play yards" for him to have fun in and then the tank is for sleeping and when she's away. She also takes him outside to…
When it comes to the actual amount of food you should feed, the first thing to consider is the type of fish you own. Different fish require different amounts of food, and so you should try to stick to the guidelines…
