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…

Which types of fish go best with shrimp?
I would like to have 1 to 3 fish (smaller fish and non-schooling) in my shrimp tank just to allow for more fertilizer for the plants. I had thought of getting a siamese fighting fish again but I read that the shrimp can…
They get plump! I have some fancy guppies and I can tell they are pregnant just by looking at them but if you look closely, in some livebearers, you can actually see the babies in their belly. So long as the mass is…
Wow, over $100 is brutal! Yeah and because it is a beta fish which seems to be prone to dying earlier it seems, I feel like that is a waste of money. If I know it would live 6+ years for sure then I wouldn't have an…
I am sure that is true, though I still used to think fish were underpriced anyway. So long as people are motivated to take care of them, I don't care if it's really just because of inflation. For some yes, it would seem…
It is tough but not impossible. One needs a lot of patience and you will be rewarded well at the end. Firstly the male and female fishes have to be fed protein rich food. Then they have to be placed in the same tank but…
The price you mention is about what I tend to see for these types of fish; I have never seen them for cheap. The price was just the shipping. The fish themselves, those are anywhere from $35 to well over $100! So say I…

Breeding Siamese fighting fish?
Has anyone here had any success with it? Is it hard to do? I have considered doing it as a hobby in the past to try and get some stunning colorations from it and to sell them. I just don't know how hard it is or how…
I tend to do things off-center. Right now the center of the tank is a coconut hide for my shrimp and on each side, off-centered, are two pots with soil and plants in them.
Around the price range you stated seems pretty normal for me, but I personally prefer fish to cost a bit more as it encourages people to take their care more seriously. This is true I suppose. The more you pay, the more…
Koi Betta fish are so beautiful with their jewel-bright colors and most spectacular fins. They are available in pairs online and the reviews are also great. These definitely would adorn any fish tank. Yes, I know they…

Colorful vs. Dull Fish
I prefer colorful fish. I don't mind having dull snails, shrimp, etc. but I like the color in the tank to come from the fish. This is why I always decorate my tanks with only natural colors like stone, greens, and…
In terms of pets, koi and goldfish live the longest. Koi live to be 20 to 25 years and goldfish live to be 10 to 20 years. Pea puffers can live to be over 18 years as well.

Are koi betas (Siamese fighting fish) hard to find?
I see pictures of them online and love how they look. I have been wanting to get one but I never see them for sale offline. I will find them online but they are VERY expensive, especially with shipping that is usually…
Otocinclus Catfish are probably my favorite right now. Unfortunately, I have had trouble keeping them. Many of the ones you find in pet stores don't live long. They are amazing fish who loved eating cucumber and other…

Fish species?
Yeah, those do seem rather pale but they could be new stock. I noticed many fish varieties will become pale from stress and brighten back up when they are more comfortable.

Hardest fish to keep?
pea puffers Those seem to be the hardest from what I have heard. Even with a slight water difference, they can become very sick very fast. You have to really monitor everything in the tank as well as make sure their…

How much do you spend on fish?
It seems like fish are getting more and more expensive these days. To fill a standard 30 gallon, it has to cost well over $40 at this point. In some cases more depending on what kind you buy. A friend of mine just did a…
Tropical freshwater fish? I think there are a decent number of colorful and bright freshwater options but you won't find much in terms of eye-catching colors and patterns, not unless you invest in a salt water tank.

Rainbow fish
Do you mean the Bosmani kind? I am not very familiar with these kinds of fish as I have never been interested in keeping them. They seem to need very specific needs and you can only put certain other fish with them.
