cherry barb

I am fairly new to fish keeping. I acquired a free 15g fish tank, no leaks, great condition, with some healthy and established bacteria in the substrate. I have 4 Cherry Barbs (1 male, 3 females) currently in it since 03/09/19 (Saturday). The pH level is fine; the temperature is 75F. My filter...

Hi Everyone! I am totally new to fish keeping (well, I did keep a couple of goldfish as a child like you do, but the cat soon took care of them :surprise:). I caught the bug when my boss showed me their beautiful marine tank and I thought hey - I want one of those!!! I've done my research...

I have a 72g bow front tropical freshwater aquarium. It's currently stocked with 7 cherry barbs, 7 black neon tetras, 4 kuhli loaches (pangio oblonga), 6 platy (mixed species), and a bristlenose pleco (though I haven't seen him in a while, I think he's still in there). There are a few plants in...

Corys are one of my favorite fish, and back before I joined this forum I kept them very successfully for some years, especially remarkable since I didn't really know what I was doing! However, more...

I can't afford another tank and the store I go to doesn't sell separator nets but I want to raise fry. They keep getting eaten by the adult fish.:frustrated: Is there any other way to protect them?

I used to have a beautiful 15 gallon recreational tank, but sadly I am down to only 1 fish...and I fear death is near for him too. For almost a year on and off I thought I had reoccurring bouts of ich. Symptoms appeared to fit and treatment with Malachite Green helped. Unfortunately, it kept...

I have a female betta, Butterfinger, who is extremely healthy, but she's also very aggresive. :-? I tried putting another female in my 2 gallon bowl, but she wouldn't stop attacking her. I'm thinking it might be a short finned male. Anyway, I got a bigger tank (10 gal.) and put her in there...
