  1. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    So I've been putting small pieces of cucumber in my community tank... It gets eaten and the fish are happy. Oh and I've also tried them with cooken peas which I removed from the shell. I was just wondering what other fruits/vegetables are good for them and likely to be eaten?

    I'm only 3 days into cycling my tank, and am in no hurry, this time around, now that I'll be 58 in October, & I'm disabled with a lot of time on my hands. I've been watching DEFINITEAQUASCAPE.TV on YouTube and found a 9 year old girl whose tank is very close to what I have in mind for mine...

    I am relatively new to the hobby, tried saltwater for a few years and failed miserably. I set my sights on starting a 55g African cichlid tank but decided to start with a 24g community tank to get my feet wet handling freshwater. The tank is a 24g tall running an aqueon 55/75 HOB with chemipure...

  19. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I bought a tank and am planning to fill it with 12 zebra danios (danio rerio) , 1 bushnose catfish ( Ancistrus sp.), 2 kribs (Pelviachromis pulcher, one male and one female), and a group of platys or swordtails. I am more on the side of swordtails, but they grow probably too big, so I'll just...
