That's the major advantage of planted aquarium over bare bottom tanks. Because some fishes need hiding places to hide from bigger or more aggressive fishes in the aquarium. I guess this is fine if you plan on keeping…
Oh so large!! Maintaining and cleaning of marimo moss ball is tricky i guess!! They come in all sizes. You can get them as small as a dime or as large as a softball. I get the ones that are about an inch to two inches…
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…
Marimo Moss Ball are probably my favorite as they are compact, grow over time, and actually absorb a lot of toxins in the aquarium. I have 3 or 4 in my tank at this point but the largest one expanded over some rocks so…

Is peroxide safe and effective?
I have read on other forums that you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide to clean off items covered in algae in the tank. I only tried this on one item and it did not seem to do much of anything. Maybe I did it wrong? I found…
When I was dealing with it, I just cleaned everything off with hot water and items where the algae weas not able to be scrubbed off, I let it completely dry to kill it. I was able to keep most of my items doing this.…
Is this a common algae? I can't say I have ever had it in any of my tanks. I have only ever had the green varieties and black beard.
Maybe that's how initially most of them think having a fish tank i suppose. Even I seriously thought there won't be much maintenance while owning a fish tank. The one and only duty for us is to feed them. Now I feel, I…
Actually Goldfish, Bettas, and Minnows will do just fine in a bare-bottom tank. Also, each species requires certain requirements with the tank. So the water type and temperature needs has to be checked. What about…
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…

Algae- Good or Bad?
I think some is good but you have to make sure you have fish and other creatures that eat it in the tank. Otherwise, you will want to remove as much as possible or you will end up with overgrowth which can be hard to…

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…
I too started my first fish tank in the same manner. I did not have any clue how to care for the fish or clean the tank. I was under the impression that just feeding the fishes was enough. One day I was just gazing at…
The pet store by where I live (the closest one that I go to the most often) told me a lot of these smaller tanks seldom sell unless it is for a child. Even then, people tend to opt for the 5 gallon tanks over the 1…
A bare bottom fish tank has its own advantages over a substrate fish tank. There can be good flow in a bare bottom fish tank as opposed to the substrate one as more flow at the bottom would disturb the sand and the…
