aquariums

I picked up one of these fluval 13.5 gallon aquariums, and it has a little chamber for filtration on the back. SOMEONE ripped up the default foam block that fits in there, and it got me wondering if I could use some of that modular foam that comes in pelican cases? Or should I just buy the replacement?

This fish has been getting worse over a longer period of time. It does not seem to be related to swim bladder issues, but more neurological. I suspect that it has gotten an aneurysm or brain damage some how.

When the bombs fall, I want to be sure they get into a GOOD vault.

Hi friends!...

Last month I tried making some food for my goldfish. It turned out quite well so I thought id share it with you guys...

This was sold to me as an amano shrimp. When I first got a closer look at it I thought it was a low grade neocaridina as it had a few patches of darker pigment, but now it is pretty much all darker cryptic colored. I noticed these vibrating things next to its face while it’s eating that my other shrimp don’t have - is this...

I have been banned from Fishlore, and the worst part is, that I was actually enjoying my time there! Now, even if they lifted the ban, I wouldn’t feel like it would be the right place to be....

Back when I set up my 720 liter tank, I gradually came up with a DIY filter, based on sewage piles filled with filter materials. It worked really well, and although it had kind of a Super Mario feel to it, it didn’t look quite as good as I’d like it to. I decided therefore, to take the experience I had from that, and built...

Hey all! Hoping somebody can help me; I bought some shrimp earlier today and a couple of these fellas snuck into the bag without anybody noticing. Anyone know what they are? I want to make sure I take care of them :) thanks for any help!

I got half a dozen dwarf chain loaches to compliment my 6ft community tank… And the stupid things have spent more time in the weir and the sump than they have in the tank....

I started setting up this tank December 15 2023. It was my quarantine tank but I decided to do a new setup to cull male guppies. My main tank has 100s of them now so I’m trying to separate them and get ready to giving them away or something....

May have impulse purchased a group of these Hara jerdoni aka anchor catfish. They only get about an inch and could not resist! Just wanted to share because they are cool little fish.

Looking for more plants to keep a lid on hair algae! I do water changes, but I think more plants would help.

I have a concern with some of my fancy goldfish that seek the surface after being fed. They sit there gulping air in and I am concerned that they may get swim bladder issues from it....

It doesn’t look like a particularly high-quality aquarium set, but all the necessary parts seem to be there. Even before getting this thing, I’ve thought about keeping dwarf frogs. Would a 5-gal. tank be big enough for two or three of them? If not, what would you suggest? I’ve kept aquariums before, but it’s been a very...

This is a pretty niche issue so I’m looking for advice from people who preferably have experience with fancy goldfish. They are usually highly inbred and do often not adhere to regular fishkeeping practices...

Was it super challenging? Surprisingly easy? What was your tank like?

My free plecostomus I got a year or so ago. He wasn’t specifically free… we just bought a tiny 15L fish tank to put some shrimp in, and when we filled it with water he appeared 😳...

I need it to be pretty small, and quiet since the tank is in my small apartment.

They came as eggs with plants I bought months ago. I honestly don’t have a problem with them but over the week their population EXPLODED. They are everywhere and covering almost the entire floor. I understand I may need to get rid of them but they are still are live beings and I dont want to be inhuman. How do I get rid of...

Cleaned up a fish shop 60L tank and did my first aquascape with river rocks, wood and plants.
