There is no sign of any physical change to the fish other than its inability to swim correctly. No visible parasites, fungus, etc.

Noticed this morning that one of my neon tetras is swimming upside down and sideways, struggling to swim upright (normally). I'm setting up a quarantine tank right now for him. All other neons and...

I am looking to buy an air pump and bubble-wand for my 20 Gallon-Long. I'm looking for one that is quiet and reliable.

Does anyone have personal suggestions on which brand to choose?

Are there...

I have zero knowledge about floating plants. However my entire aquarium is filled with live plants.

I was hoping to get some floating plants to add some movement to my tank and to give my tetra...

I would like it to eventually fill up the entire background but I'm not sure how to do it when they bend so easily in the filters down-current. Any ideas on how to lessen the water current that comes...

The dinosaur head is a new addition as well :)

I have zero experience with plants. I recently got some purple cabomba from my lfs (two weeks ago). It has grown a lot so I'm assuming it is doing okay. The problem is that they are bending from the...

*for* a few of those

What about the gouramis? Is a 20 Gallon large enough a few of those?

I have a 20 Gallon Long tank that is completely empty. I was thinking I wanted to use it as a species tank. I might use diamond tetras. Or maybe some dwarf gouramis. Is a 20-gallon-long large...

Yes. I used an entire filter cartridge from an Aqueon 10 filter (it was used, nasty and full bacteria of course). It fit perfectly into my AquaClear 70 media basket. I was also skeptical of how...

I have a low light, 29 gallon aquarium. Other than the plants that came with the tank (craigslist tank), I have only purchased one plant, Cabomba pulcherrima, or "Purple Cabomba."

I have next to...

I just stocked my 29 gallon tank last night. Included in the stock are 16 neon tetras, 2 male guppies, 1 dwarf gourami, 2 african dwarf frogs, and 3 albino cory catfish.

I was under the...

Finally I have fish! I stocked the tank very heavily and all at once, but I think it will be okay because I did fish-less cycling. Here is my stock:

16 neon tetras
3 albino cory catfish
2 male...

The tank is cycled. It only took 7 days. (Put those words back in your mouth, Idoerr :P)
I'm feeding very, very small doses of ammonia now twice daily until i get fish. I think I will go to a LFS...

I was in Petsmart tonight and they have their neons labeled as "Jumbo" Neon Tetras. What is up with this? Do they actually get larger than other neons? I feel like it is just a load of crap.
I...

Alright, so I have just finished cycling my 29 gallon aquarium. I have been planning on getting a cardinal tetra school. However, my tap water has a pH of about 8.0 (and so does my tank). From...

I'm thinking i will be able to have to tank cycled by tomorrow. Just in need of a large water change. Then I will begin to monitor pH.
...

Here is an excel sheet that I'm using to record my levels. The bacteria is taking care of the ammonia in less than 24 hours. Just waiting for those nitrite levels to drop.
...

It has been 4 days since I began the fish-less cycling process. My levels are as follows:

Ammonia: ....... 2 ppm

Nitrite: ........ > 5 ppm

Nitrate: .......... (untested)

I will start to...

Wow, that is really cool.

I don't know what the fish is called...
But the picture of the yellow fish came out excellent. I'd say that is the best picture you got in that bunch.
Just my opinion.

but those are awesome...

Spray paint kind of worries me though. My tank already has water in it so I would have to do it inside. I guess I could just intensely tape things off and open up all the windows?

My aquarium has cheapo plastic that runs around the top and bottom of the tank. My lights are made up of the same thing. The plastic has a print on it which resembles oak.
I would like to paint...
