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…
This is actually pretty handy. I will have to check it out. I have heard of apps and sites like this but never bothered to sign up for anything. I like to have easy access to information for questions and concerns…

Inspecting equipment
At least once a week but usually every 2 weeks when I do water changes OR if the power goes out. Anytime the power goes out, my filter system reverses and stops working so I have to get a qtip and kind of wind the band…
I don't have a salt tank yet but I have been looking into prices and comparing brands. Instant Ocean Sea Salt seems to be the best priced as well as best reviewed so that is the brand I will likely go with when I get…
This is something I have looked into time and time again and from my own experiences and what I have watched/read, no matter if it is a salt tank or a fresh tank, most people prefer to go with longer setups rather than…
Natural sunlight, while great, will increase algae growth which is something you don't want. I think most full spectrum LED lamps and lights designed for saltwater tanks do just find and aren't too expensive.
They are roughly the same. Usually, with salt water tanks, you will require larger filters for the same amount of water as a freshwater setup. Certain filters are marketed for salt water tanks specifically. It depends…
I always recommend watching videos on YouTube. Not only can you learn from different people, but if the person in the video is making a mistake, the comments will call it out. It is really good for learning about…
I found a video on keeping them where it outlines bad things about them. Overall they seem like they are easy to care for but most people find them boring and because they can live to be 10 or more years, it is a bigger…
I was going to mention that tanks like this tend to be harder to care for. I am not entirely sure why but most people end up switching away from them. I think it makes more sense to have more surface area on the bottom.…
How are thinkings going with your tank? This looks similar to how I had my shrimp tank set up when I had them in a 10-gallon. I still have the same amazon sword plant too. I just have it in the smaller tank now in a…
This looks really nice! I must have overlooked this section completely. I know this is an older post but I would love to see what you have since done with it. I like seeing smaller tanks as I feel they are a lot harder…

I thought I would mention this site here. If you are looking for cheaper aquarium accessories, they tend to have really good deals. They don't have a HUGE selection of stuff but what they do carry is discounted. They…
There are specific plants and stones you can use in your tank to help keep the water more balanced and healthy for the fish. I can't think of them off the top of my head but you can google search for them. Loads of…
I think the most common are parasitic infections overall. These tend to spread very easily and fast. I know ich is up there as well but I have only had one experience with it and it seems to be more rare than people let…
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.

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.
I have checked online and there are a lot of places that sell them for good prices but the shipping is usually $40 or more which always puts me off. You have to spend well over $150 for free shipping in most cases too.

Cory catfish vs goldfish
Goldfish are cool fish but they are so messy that I have not kept any in over 15 years. I just don't want to deal with it. They also need much larger tanks than people realize. One fish needs a minimum of 20 gallons. I…
I have never kept clams in general. I have heard of people doing clam-only tanks online but I have never known anyone personally who has done it. I would imagine you set everything up with the best interest of the clams.
