Yeah, there are loads, too many to name in fact. It seems like a lot of people are surprised by the fact that there is more life in the water happening than in most areas on the planet.
Just wanted to update this since I was there a few days ago, and they have a ton of different shrimp species and colorations that are priced pretty good for their market rate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is…
I have had fish that have become a completely different color as they have gotten older. Some species do this by default while others will change their color due to stress, diet changes, or changes in the water. If the…
The light itself is a small plastic strip that snaps onto the underside of the lid. I had originally used part of a bandaid which worked for a while but the moisture made it become loose. Do they sell film that will…
They disconintued the sale of ALL fish in the stores in 2019. Part of this was tied to the outrage of customers pouring nail polish into the beta cup containers. It went viral and they have faced several fines and fees…
Newts are rough to have tank mates since they are either slow or tend to be super sensitive to other species around them. I’d honestly just have them as a species-only tank since they are unique enough to keep without…

Dosing trace elements
From my understanding, you will want to add in 1.5 mL for every 50 US gallons of aquarium water in the tank and do this daily while checking the water to ensure the levels stay balanced.
The fish are harder to import and often require special diets. The tanks almost always have to be much larger for salt washer fish which will cause the cost of equipment to go up substantially.
I’d say it's possible as it's exposed to water and light randomly throughout the day. To remove it in a drain, I'd just use bleach and a sponge (or even pure vinegar or something) and it should remove pretty easily.…
We actually have a really detailed page about clamped fins, what it's causes are, and possibly treatments if you want to read more; https://aquariu.ms/freshwater/disease/clamped-fins/ Thanks! I must have overlooked this…
I think the amount of water is a big factor hear as not all of them require a lot but some of them do. I think most do fine with a large shallow bowl but others will do better in a long tank with a split substrate of…
I really don't know the different types outside of the ones I have had to get rid of. I know I do get that bright green algae in the tank and for the most part, I don't do anything about it. I let it grow for a bit on…

Anubias Nana - Keeps dying?
I am not sure if this is down to me or where I am getting them from but I have tried keeping two of these plants now and within just 4 or 5 months, they end up dying. My water seems to be just fine as I have tested it…
The most appealing part for me is that I don't have to clean them. LOL I used to only use fake plants but they would end up so gross and dirty, stained and just looking awful. No matter how many times I cleaned them,…
I saw a video of someone who actually grew potatoes using his aquarium and the plant itself benefited the ecosystem he had established. I thought that was pretty neat!
The stuff I got seems to be really nice. I can't remember the brand of it but I got it on Amazon. I read and saw several videos saying you could use potting soil in an aquarium but I feel like that might be risky.
I would start by deciding on the size of tank you want and figuring out what fish you plan on stocking it with. Do you plan on adding other fish to what you already have? What size tank do you currently have and do you…

What Causes Clamped Fins?
This is something I have never experienced myself but a friend of mine is almost certain a few of his fish have this issue. I have never even heard of it before. Can someone explain what this is, what causes it, and if…

White spots disease?
Having had ich in a tank before, it is pretty obvious to stop. It can quickly wipe out a tank full of fish so you want to get on treatment as soon as you see the spots.
This is something I have been told before. Just have a tank set up separate from the main one so keep fish separated before putting them in. I am considering using my current 5 gal tank to do this when I get a bigger…
