I always used to wonder about water lettuce and if it would benefit my tank when I had one. It wasn't until a friend of mine tried it and found just how quickly it would grow and how much you had to do to ensure it…
One thing I learned quickly myself when it came to having a tank was that having fake plants only meant more work for me and was never something that was ideal to have in a tank. Having living plants in your tank not…

Use of Amazon Frogbit
I had heard of Amazon Frogbit but it is not something I personally have had in my tank. I do know at least one friend of mine had this in their tank and they were always saying about how fast it grew but also at how…
Whenever I have had a tank or even friends that have had tanks as well, they never really have a centerpiece so to speak but more just a school of different species of fish that we know will get on and we will not have…

Colorful vs. Dull Fish
As much as I do prefer colorful fish, I also like to see a mixture as well in terms of colorful and dull fish. I feel if you have the space to accommodate both kinds then having a mixture is best. Sometimes I feel that…

Fish species ID
At first look, I did think they could maybe be pacific blue eye fish as the colors and also the colors of the eyes as well would indicate that was the case but I could also be wrong. Hoping someone else could shed some…
I have a friend who has a sump and because he has a stand that is big enough to accommodate it, he is able to have it placed under the tank and prefers it that way. I hadn't really thought about placing it in another…
I believe bubble traps are only necessary and needed if you have a lot of chaos in a sump. If this is not the case then bubble traps may be something you do not need and you can safely do without.
Hey folks, I have a a light fixture that is about 3 years old that is on about 6 hours per day. I am wondering how long these stay effective? Do they have a shelf life? I am assuming they do. Thanks! Is your light LED,…
I did have betta and guppies together but always betta goes to hunt my guppies. It seems that betta doesn't get along with other fishes. Not from my own experience but from the experience of friends that I know who own…

Cory catfish vs goldfish
I have never had any cory catfish and have always gone for goldfish for any tanks that I have had. It is very true that goldfish are the worst for leaving a lot of mess and that can sometimes make it harder for you as a…

Rainbow fish
I will admit that I have seen rainbow fish and I love the colors on them and they are amazing to look at and see but I have never had any rainbow fish, it has always been goldfish.
This is quite interesting and something I was unaware of. It has always been different to tell the difference between a livebearer that may be bloated or pregnant. I actually find it quite fascinating that if they are…
After some of the stories I have heard about not wearing gloves when you work in your reef aquarium, I would now always wear gloves no matter what. To be fair, I feel I would always wear gloves no matter what kind of…
I always remember asking a pet shop this as I was curious and they told me that they are either caught from their natural surroundings or habitat and then sold to pet shops by those who take them from there and I was…
I always remember being a kid, I was always told that fish had a 3-second memory span so I instantly believed that they would probably never remember you as their owner because of that. Is it true though that is the…

Food for Clownfish
There are a few different types of food you can feed clownfish from what I remember. Shrimp, cooked mussels, vegetables, brine, bloodworms, and table shrimp are all ideal for clownfish to eat.
When it comes to fish health, ensuring they have a good diet and also ensuring that they have good a good living area as well as their water being healthy for them to live in are two ways you can prevent fish from…
I can't say I often see parasites in fish to be honest so I wouldn't say that they are common but I would say that it is something that can happen. It is quite shocking though that you noticed one in the pet store and…

My fishes are restless
This sounds like stress that your fish are going through and this can happen due to either high ammonia, high nitrate levels, and also high or low PH levels. Diseases could also be a main factor in them being stressed…
