Plenty of people do - it's the whole premise for “hydroponic systems” that take waste (from fish) and will use it as plant food since their waste is high in many nutrients. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Wow, I…
When I noticed something with one fish, I completely switch out the water and put the sick/ill-looking fish in quarantine. This way, it keeps it from spreading as easy while I figure out what is happening.

Are Axolotl hard to care for?
I have always wanted one since I first learned about them like 10 or more years ago. We have one of those reptile/aquatic type shows coming up and I know they will likely have them. It would be my chance to buy one. I…
To be fair, it's nothing that you may be doing, but rather than poor genetics when it comes to guppies and other super popular freshwater aquarium fish. Dropsy is normally just a term for when a fish has liquid…

Baby fry
Fry typically grow really fast but it depends on the type of fish. What type of fish are you wishing to sell? I have fancy guppies and they grow quite fast but most people believe they should be fully grown before…

Plant only Tank?
I am working on setting up a shrimp tank myself. Looking at all my plant options and trying to get things going. I want to make it perfect so it encourages them to mate. What size tank are you considering?
Like most algae, they just feed off of any excess nutrients in the water that are leftover from food, waste, and other things within the tank. You probably cured it for now by changing out everything with a different…

Guppies Vs. Goldfish
Goldfish are messy and require a lot more care than they tend to let on at pet shops. I have had a few and I have never been able to keep them healthy. I had one that actually got ich and killed everything else in my…

Beginner coral?
What types of coral would you recommend for someone who is brand new to keeping a saltwater tank? I was looking at all different types and some will say beginner-friendly on one site and advanced on another so I don't…
I had no idea algae could be a problem in a saltwater tank. I guess I assumed because of the salt content in the water, nothing like that could grow in it! You learn something new every day!

How much money should I have set aside?
In terms of starting a saltwater tank from nothing other than a 30-gallon tank, how much money should I have prepared to spend on supplies and fish? I would like to do a lionfish tank but if not, I will do a clownfish…
I don't have a tank yet but I have loads of ideas for when I start one - If I do. I think it may be better to wait until my wife and I move as I already have 3 freshwater tanks to deal with and I know saltwater fish are…

Has anyone ever used tank water for their plants?
My wife swears that you can and I think that sounds disgusting! lol She said that you can use fish tank water to water plants and vegetables as it has nutrients for the plants. If we are eating the vegetables though,…
I know it is not ideal, but I have used duck tape to seal small leaks in small tanks and it held! I would not advise it for a bigger tank though. I ended up buying a new one but I needed to keep the water in the tank…
Some fish can grow slower due to the size of the tank. What size do you have them in and are they kept with anything else?

Anyone have a pond?
I want to get a small koi pond when the wife and I buy a house. We have been in the process since 2020 and well, you know how that year went. Everything has been setback after setback and house prices got too high in…

How big....?
Bigger tanks are easier to maintain and clean, believe it or not. I have had everything from 5 gallons to 60 gallons and the 5-gallon tank has always been the most time-consuming for me.

Paddletail newt - what fish can be kept with them?
I had one years ago and loved her. She was playful and fun to watch. I decided to introduce some fish to her space to liven it up and it ended up making her sick. I removed the fish and cleaned everything for her, but…

Lazy clownfish
From my understanding, this is nothing to worry about if it happens now and then but if the fish has been like this for days, it can be sick. Either sick from poor water quality or eating something it shouldn't have.

Can fish eat frozen food
Yeah, they can. Both salt and freshwater fish can eat different types of food that are frozen. Depending on the type of fish, you may have to pre-thaw it a bit so it isn't too cold.
