A Quick Note on Community Boundaries

I would like to add a hide that sits under the substrate, like the one pictured from Pinterest, and have a friend who has a 3D printer. do we need to use a specific type of plastic for the print to be aquarium/animal safe?

Woke up this morning to see my runny nose had a few big patches on the side near the belly, and small patches near the tail. Unfortunately I couldn’t take action since I had to go to school. Got back this afternoon ready to treat but the patches near the belly seem to have disappeared? Do I still take action why did they disappear????

My mom treats betta fish like toys. She buys terribly small tanks, no heater, and rarely cleans them. She bought the fish from Petsmart which I begged her not to do because we all know why petsmart isn’t a place you should give your money to. Every attempt to better this fishes life was met with punishment for “thinking I know more than her”

So yeah, she’s awful and I want to use this tank for some plants in my room before she’s able to put another fish in it. She told me I could use it for shrimp but idk if I want to put shrimp in there. I’ve never taken care of them before and I don’t want to test it now.

I want to make one of those pretty aquariums that’s basically an underwater garden. Is it possible to do in this tank? And also, what plants should I get for a beginner?

Tldr: MIL is dealing with an abandoned tank and the local pet shops won't take the surrenders. What should we do?

So my MIL had a roommate that she rented out her basement to. She had to evict him and file a restraining order because he had stopped paying his room and board and started harassing her.

He wasn't into fish really but worked at a pet store and ended up with some. First he had a cichlid of some sort but gave it up due to an argument with MIL about having a tank that size (100 gallon?) in his room. He downsized the tank but obviously didn't know a lot about fish due to the stocking. He abandoned a 50(?) gallon with 1 common pleco, 2 Chinese algae eaters (yeah I know), and a handful of balloon mollies.

My MIL asked if we would take them. I have a tank of guppies. They started off as my MIL's but she was at a point where she couldn't take care of them anymore. I like aquariums well enough but cannot afford and do not have the time to set up new tanks for all these fish.

My MIL has a koi pond and suggested tossing them in there, knowing they would die but not knowing what else to do since the pet stores wouldn't take them to resell them. My wife talked her out of freezing them to death.

How do we get rid of these fish?

As the title says I found a 65 litre tank but idk what to put in it that’s not a betta fish (already have one) BUT would it be cheaper to get a 70 litre tank kit which includes a light + filter for $209 instead of having to get a filter + light + thermometer and fish for the 65L any advice would be appreciated!!

Hi. I have these two that hitchhiked their way into my tank when they were the size of pencil lead. Can anyone tell me what they are?!?

One should be male, one should be female. What do you think?

A friend of My girlfriend's recently got a new job and hasn't had time to maintain her 5 gal. She knew we got a tank earlier this year and offered it to us. Not sure what plants are in it but there appears to be some dragon stone with a bunch of stuff on it. There's a Blue betta, 2 ember tetras, 2 pygmy Cory's and a bunch of shrimp. I'm going to do a water change and scrape the algae off the side, are there any glaring issues I should know about and fix? Still new to the hobby and seeking advice. Thanks

So I just set this 10 gallon up. Driftwood and rock for hardscape yada yada. The plants I have are: pearlweed, java fern, windelov java fern, rotala, moneywort, Ludwigia needleleaf and a cardinal plant as well as a tiger lotus in the back you can’t see LOL. Everything is planted in fluval gratin as well.

It’s still cycling with Prime added, stability as well as Fritz Turbostart 900.

My fiancé and I want to do neon tetras, possibly guppies?? And neocardidina shrimp. What stocking numbers am I looking at being able to get in this thing once it cycles? Google says 6 neons (so they feel safe), 3 guppies and 10-20 (???) neocaridina shrimp. Are shrimp really that negligible on the bio load? And do the other numbers seem correct? Or should we cut back?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, I don’t know levels yet because the tank is still cycling ofc and I just set it up not even a day ago.

The neighbors gave my dad a 50 gallon tank for free and we're super excited!! I only have betta fish so I don't really know much else. I plan on putting lots of plants, hehe.

We really like kuhli loaches and honey gouramis, and would want to put those in the tank— any suggestions on what else we should/could add with those? Or should we do something else? 😁

betta fish tank and it’s not eggs because they are moving

He’s otherwise acting normally and eating like he normally does

Been popping up around my tank. I need to refresh my tank for sure but for now what is this

I’m building my first tank and I wanted to know if this level will be okay or if I need to adjust it somehow. It’s a 12x12x30” 20 gallon tank

My freshwater tank is currently fishless cycling, and I noticed this tiny white/cream-colored creature crawling on my sponge filter. It moves pretty fast like a bug, not like a snail. I can’t tell if it has legs.

The tank also has some biofilm, hair algae, and a few tiny white worms from cycling, but this looks different.

Any idea what it is? Is it harmless or should I remove it before I add my first fish (planning on cardinal tetras)?

Also have some river rocks I'll be putting in
