Yeah, generally, I'm not a big "I form an emotional bond with my fish" kinda person, but stating that your whole goal is to do things that must, by definition, make the fish uncomfortable seems a...

That's cuz he's a bad azz mofo with a story to tell. LOL.

My 36 gallon community tank is finally cycled. I had 4 Kuhli loaches, which were my witness protection fish, as I rarely ever saw them. I decided to add 3 pepper corys to help with clean up. Love the...

Let's see...a²+b²=c², right? You do the math, spent all my brain space trying to figure out how to make the ². LOL.

I am paranoid like you. Good suggestion...thanks:)

I'm with LH. Can't see storing many gallons of water around the house for changing day. My SO barely puts up with the tank and associated equipment. I think he'd make me and the fishies homeless if I...

Tap running full speed ahead.

I'll try filling with my python and dosing the tank next water change. That seems so much easier than carting water back and forth. Not sure what to do about siphoning tho...I have enough suction to...

I've searched this topic and seen so many different takes on what I'm going to ask. When replacing water after a water change, do you dose the tank with conditioner, or the bucket?

I have a...

Until your fish comes home in a bad mood and tells you you're a lousy fish keeper and wishes you never bought it, you have no idea what parenthood is about. LOL.

My kitty sits on top of the tank with his head hanging over, watching the fish swim back and forth. It cracks me up. Even funnier is when the loach comes out and dances. Kitty dances with him.

I bought most of the fish on my first stocking. I added three of the four neons about three days later. I am using liquid reagents for testing, and Stress Coat for conditioning. I have a canister...

My 36 gallon tank has been up for 17 days. I am cycling with fish...or at least that was the plan. I have:
4 neon tetras
3 blood fins
2 cherry barbs
1 Kuhli loach
... and a partridge in a pear...

Love the way this tank looks, unfortunately, I think my cat would see it as a sushi bar.

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone. I do have a heater and my temp is 78. And my barbs aren't tigers...they are cherry barbs. Awful cute little guys. Things are progressing. Everyone is still...

It makes me chuckle that I bought the aquarium to lower my stress level and all I've done since I got it is sit in front of it and fret. Can't wait 'til it's established and I can watch it and bliss...

Two things occur to me. First, really wish I had read all of this before I bought fish. Second, how the hell did I have 5 active tanks when my daughter was born 13 years ago? I feel like I am...

Okay, that makes sense. Yesterday when I tested I got very trace ammonia, and did a 20% water change. Today, my reading was zero, so I haven't done a water change yet. Here's my question. If I need...

Put an "a" where I meant to put an "i"...yes, I m testing for nitrites. Using liquid reagents. I'm not a fan of dipsticks when it comes to any sort of testing. (I'm a nurse and was a medical lab...

As I re-read this, it occurred to me that this sounded really rude. Didn't mean it to. Sorry. Update on the tank...saw the loach this morning. He lives! Saw trace ammonia upon my morning test, still...

Thanks Mermaid. :)

Read the Ebook...realize I'm in a tad over my head, not an idiot, still looking for a helpful answer.

I'll edit my post to read 36 gallons, not 6.

So, looking for some feedback here. I put together my new 6 gallon tank 8 days ago. I have had aquariums in the past, but it's been many years since if had fish. Apparently, I've forgotten...

Hello from NY. I recently purchased and set up a 36 gallon bowfront. I've had aquariums in the past, but it's been many years, and it looks like some things have changed a bit since I last had a hand...
