Tiny snails?
Snails would usually come as eggs attached to gravels, aquatic plants, and decorations when transferred from other tanks. But don't need to worry most of these snails are beneficial to your aquarium as they promote a…
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…
I have tried Excel but it seems like it didn't do much if anything and I ended up with a few dead fish and one shrimp in the process. I could have done the dosing wrong, I am not sure. I will not be looking to use it…
They are great for cleaning tanks. And 3% which you have taken is the right amount. Give it a try once again. It should be fine. Yes, I will. I am hoping I do not have to though! I don't want to have an algae issue like…
If you’re treating your tank with chemicals to fight some sort of disease or algae, then fish tank water might not be good for plants. This is a really good point, something I did not consider! Yeah, this would be bad…
We all have to start somewhere, it's understandable that as amateurs we don't know what to do and how to maintain a tank. But with patience and love, we can all learn to take better care of our aquarium. And can…
Whenever I hear the word endangered, it says two things. 1)It's very hard to get and 2)It's very hard to maintain. Would suggest others steer out of these endangered varieties. If you really love them and if you can…

Do you prefer glass or plastic aquariums?
It seems like glass is preferred and more common but a lot of people seem to be opting for plexiglass (plastic) ones instead these days. Most of the time, these have to be custom-made and bought from companies that make…

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 have mine on the back of the tank close to the filter. This way, warm water is being filtered to keep the temps of the tank more balanced.
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.

Tiny snails?
So I noticed, no matter how many times I completely clean out my tank... I seem to keep ending up with very tiny snails in it. They don't get too out of control but it can be annoying at times when they get into the…

What works best for creating a "water carpet"?
I would like to find a way to make the bottom of a soil tank lush and green without waiting forever for it to happen or spending a lot of money. My idea is to use aquarium soil and get everything going and eventually…
I’ve found them to have deals on opposite times for various fish species. Ironically, I find more unique fish (and well, saltwater only fish) at Petco than I would see at Petsmart. It seems some Petco will even take…
I’d say that it's safe in decent doses (like don’t use a whole bottle without a huge water change), and try to use it with a syringe to make it the most effective at targeting the algae vs. using a cup or other method.…
Fish get sick very easily due to poor water quality, over-feeding, and general bad genetics. This is why it is best to buy fish from breeders who know what they are doing over standard pet shops that import their fish…
All fish are susceptible. This is why keeping your tank water clean and balanced is important. It not only prevents disease but it keeps it from spreading if it does arise from a sick fish or contaminated plant.

USB air pump?
They seem to be lower powered, yeah. I guess some people like to use them for backup. You can hook them up to a power bank if the power goes out for whatever reason.
I 100% agree with @Li0nFish here - show them some good articles, or videos that go over the concepts. I try to also show them the negatives (such as sick fish, tanks not taken care of correctly, etc.) to show them that…
