    Schooling fish suggestions

    yeah I think that the harlequin rasboras are the best!! I have a small school of six in my 20 gallon tank and I think that they are pretty hardy. I kept enons and I had the same problem as you. they kept on dying!!! so I switched to these fellas and they do great! they have a very graceful...

    betta withering away

    Hi all I have a question. my betta was happy until it started to develop dropsy, and intestinal disease that is cause by bacteria. I then removed the betta from my 20 gallon tank into a bowl because I dont have a quarantine tank. I treated it with antibiotics, and it has really gotten better...

    Favorite fish died today.

    yeah I think that the fish died of age because if it was with the CAE for three years, I dont think that the tables would change so quickly.

    OMG!!!! ITS A MIRACLE!!

    well the betta was in my 20 gallon aquarium, but I wanted to separate it so that the dropsy wouldnt spread. I know that they need heating, but I dont have a quarantine tank. i want one, but since i am only 14, i dont think that i can handle so much. i already have 2 tanks. one saltwater, and one...

    Upside Down Jellyfish

    hey I heard that you need this special type of tank called a "jellyquarium". it looks like a washing machine. the idea is that there are tiny holes that pump water through it in order to keep the jellyfish suspended. i wouldnt recommend keeping jelly fish because those aquariums are like a $1000...

    bettas with ghost shrimp?

    all of my water parameters are fine. ammonia is 0, nitrate is 5, and nitrite is 0. I also have harlequin rasboras that look healthy. I am using RO water. so do you guys think that it is from lack of calcium? should i put in some of those RO reclaim chemistrys?

    sick betta?

    hi about a week ago, I bought a beautiful betta with metallic greenish blue mixed with pink outlines at the tip of the fins. the problem is, that for the first week, it seemed very active. I often saw it going back and forth against the glass. but then, now it seems to "sleep" on the bittom. it...

    harlequin rasboras

    well the size of the tank is about 20 gallons, and yes, im planning on adding more. they dont seem to have any nipped fins so I guess it is okay. I used to keep neons and they just started to nip eachother so much that they killed each other off. I just dont want the same thing to happen again...

    Why can't I keep neons?

    dude I totally agree with you. I tried keeping neons once but then all but one of them survived. In my case, they were all healthy, but they all just started to kill each other. so I just gave up. I would try checking on your hardness of the water, and try lowering the ph. I also think that some...
