Decorations?
As of right now, I am using natural stones for substrate and I have two clay pots with real plants in them and soil. Other than that, I have some moss balls in a corner with some larger stones to create a cave system…
I fill it up until the point where it is just below the filter water return. I like to do it this way to minimize the return of pushing the fish and shrimp around too much.
I somewhat regret getting Fancy Guppies as they will not stop breeding and I can't seem to find anyone who wants to take them. I was told I had all males and I was given a female and I didn't notice until it was too…
I like to swap out the substrate at least once every few years for a new look. I feel like that is the cheapest and easier way. Other than that, I will try different decorations, live plants, etc. As of right now, I…
Always stick with water-based adhesives like silicone. I had a friend who tried using a hot glue gun to repair a few fake plants and it ended up killing everything in her tank after about 3 weeks.
I have seen them in the last month or so. I think they are finally getting more stock of shrimp and other types. I talked to one of the owners the other day and he said they were experiencing a pretty bad shortage of…
Females also tend to be larger and more "round" in shape. Think of siamese fighting fish and how the males and females compare. The females are a bit bigger in the body, more rounded, etc, whereas the males are more…

How many....?
Currently, I have an overpopulated 5 gallon that I need to sort out. I have amano shrimp and fancy guppies in it. The pet store I got the guppies from gave me a female after I told them I only wanted males. I did not…
There are so many places online that sell live fish and other animals but I never could bring myself to buy online, at least nothing other than shrimp, snails, and plants. The shipping is usually very expensive and you…
Lionfish are my favorite if you can't already tell! Outside of those, when it comes to freshwater and other types I really love cory catfish and different varieties of catfish really.
I had this happen once with one of my fish. I ended up having to break the decor item. What I did was fill a bag with tank water and placed the fish and the decor piece in it and then I gently hit it with a hammer over…

Better prices for fish - Petco or Petsmart?
It seems overall, Petsmart tends to have better deals and prices on most things but I never compared the prices of their fish or their aquatic accessories. Does anyone know which is typically cheaper and better to buy…

Lionfish tank size?
A 30-gallon tank is a decent size for them when they are younger, although as they grow and reach their adult size, ideally you would need 120+ gallons (for a single species). If you are trying to keep multiple lion…
I think it really depends on if you want to go with all new equipment or try to get second-hand used equipment - and also how you want to set up your tank in terms of equipment style/types (ex; protein skimmer or not).…
I think there might be a shortage with a ton of various livestock, especially if they are coming from overseas due to shipping backlogs and the COVID virus causing issues with breeding farms not being able to move…

MudPuppy
I remember having "mud puppies" for fishing. They were fake and brown but they helped me catch a lot of fish. I never considered owning a life one as a pet but they have seemed to become popular over the years.

They are amazing creatures and I have wanted some for a few years but they are surprisingly hard to find these days. I think you can find them online but I am not sure how I feel about buying animals online.
Yup. Some more than others. Some need to be in water 90% of the time and others split their time but they all require water as many of them will eat, breed, shed, and mate in water.
I think it really depends on what you have going down that drain, and how frequently it is used. I'm sure, like anything that has to handle water, algae can form and grow over time. A perfect example of this would be a…

How to decorate.....?
I usually keep things simple. I will use some sort of natural smooth stone on the bottom and then incorporate live plants. I have since placed my life plants in clay pots and fine this works best for me. I also like to…
