  1. Cichlids
    Does anyone have experience adding turtles to their tank? I've seen a few posts of aquariums with turtles and I was wondering what is required in terms of tank setup and types of turtles. Thanks!
  2. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi So I have a 20 gal aquarium that is currently going through a fishless cycle. It seems to close to done, the nitrites are at 2.0 ppm nitrates are at 160 ppm. I'm using Api's GH and KH Tests and GH seems to be 120 ppm? (7 drops) and KH was 100 ppm? (6 drops). I am wondering if the ppm seems...
  3. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    Last month I put in some new plants into my 20g tank, a hornwort, a water sprite and a few Wisteria, and right now one of them looks like it's about to collapse. Don't ask me to name it because to me, a plant looks like another, but I think it might be either the hornwort or water sprite, but I...
  4. Invertebrates
    I have three nerite snails, the tiger blood version, and every now and then, I would see one hanging on the shell of another. I have taken a picture of them, and even though it might be a bit fuzzy, what I would like to know is that does it mean that it's some kind of mating thing between them...
  5. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    So I started a 5 gal two days ago, rinsed my substrate and added water and set up lighting/filter/heating and added decorations, I used stones and a few seashells, all of which I boiled for a while and scrubbed. On the water I used a conditioner and 'stability' which says it's just bacteria...

  8. Freshwater Aquarium Equipment
    I recently got a Perfecto 125g 72"x18"x22" off of craigslist. I sealed the leaks and filled. Overnight, the front facing wall is bowing outward slightly, but enough that it seperated the single center brace from the rear wall. The floor is slightly uneven, favoring the front and left the most...

The current inhabitants of this tank (soon to upgrade!) 2 Lemon Tetras, 2 Swordtail (1 fry, 1 adult), and 1 abino (bronze) corydoras. It...
  10. DIY Aquarium
    Hello, sorry to start a thread over this topic but I was wondering. I want to set up a (wide) 20 gallon amazon tank this christmas. I want to have the most beneficial terrain I can. I was always wondering how to put sand-looking stuff in your aquarium without just making a giant thick cloud of...
  11. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi. Silly question, I'm sure. But I was looking on the fish profiles and noticed that there was no albino corydoras. Can any species be albino? Or is albino its own species? Just curious.
  12. Saltwater Fish
    I'm new to fish- like, very new. I know nothing at ALL about fish. But, I do have one question- I have an angelfish, and I've noticed that sometimes the black stripes through his eyes are not there- why is this?
