    Hello, My Cory Catfish has been acting strange lately… He has been hovering in the middle of the tank and staring at the glass. I also noticed that his color appears to be a little redder than usual, and his barbel seems to be missing. I just noticed this tonight. The whole tank has been happy...

    I bought a spotted Julie catfish, and now I learn it has a fungus infection. I thought I’d finally gotten this second tank started, but nope. How can I get rid of it spending less than 10 dollars? It is white. It is not ick. She wouldn’t hold still for a picture. I can’t quarantine it. The tank...

    I have two albino African clawed frogs. Both are around half a year old (from the time I purchased them). After some many months of having Cory catfish as a sort of clean-up crew, one of my frogs thought it was a good idea to try eating one of the corys (the biggest one of the two, of course)...

    I found out a few days into getting new plants for my tank I received 3 Bronze Corydora hitchhikers. I've only kept barbs til this point, and now I'm completely stumped for how to care for these three little corys. ANY advice is welcome advice!

  11. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I am in the planning process. I am planning to get a 10-15 gallon fish tank, even though it might be more on the 10 gallon side. I had experience with bettas before. It will be planted, have natural driftwood, lots of caves, filtration (for 10/15 gallon) and have a variety of unique fish. This...

    Hi all, I have a Featherfin Squeaker catfish named Hoover in a 46-gal bowfront (I know he probably needs more room, but it's what I have, and I got him from someone who had him in a 10-gal tank with goldfish). He's about 7" from nose to base of tail. Tank is fully cycled with an Emperor 280...

  18. Catfish
    About two years ago I bought a Betta Fish. After having him for two months I moved him to a one gallon tank, it had plastic plants and a hiding hole, and I added a filter to help keep the water clean. For a while he seemed really happy, he made a lot of bubble nests and he was very active. Then...

    I was considering getting at least 3 of what kind of Rainbowfish is available at Petsmart and the petstore by my house for my 55 gallon, along with a Striped Raphael Catfish. I heard that Rainbowfish are very nice-looking after a while and I like the striped catfish as is (also, it makes...

    I'm new to keeping an Albino Bristle Nose. He's housed in a heated ten gallon tank with a snail and a beta. My question was on driftwood: I'm going to get him some, but I was wondering if it has to be specifically driftwood, or could it be another wood so long as it's not been treated or...
