Hello I just wanted to ask if UV sterilizers can cause damage to freshwater fish? i have been using a submersible UV sterilizer for a few years now and it has always worked fine for me. But recently my 50G aquarium had an algae bloom so i put the sterilizer from my fish pond into the tank for a...

I've realized that, no matter what fish we've got, we realize that there's always more fish on our wish list. Some of the fish we'll be able to purchase, keep, and care for; others, we will have to view at aquariums, hoping for the day we can own one of those fish. Here are my dream fish...

My fiancé and I signed up for a competition, with our local news (KSL 5, Utah), to win a free all-inclusive wedding at an amazing Aquarium here in Utah! We both love fish (I'm obviously obsessed), and just animals in general, so as you can imagine this would be amazing! We are officially one of...

its green button polyp which I got a for free! But it didn't open! Is it fine or is anything troubling it?

Hi everyone, I have been out of the hobby for a while now and am eager to return. For years I have kept numerous Central/South American Cichlids. I was previously prone to overstocking the tank and adding numerous fish species that although were able to coexist, became stressful worrying about...

My current 60gal tank consists of four fish: a black ear pangasius, a common pleco, a juvenile peacock bass, and a clown knifefish-most of which will outgrow my tank. So far, my only issue with the tank mates is that my CK is aggressive towards my pleco-not biting him or anything like that; more...

Hello people, I'm an architecture student and I was thinking about going with ARCHITECTURE FOR ANIMALS as a topic for my thesis. Anyone who has heard anything about this topic or give me any sort of information on a place I can research regarding this subject would be of great help. This...

Sooo I'm new to this site, but not to the hobby. I just recently purchased a 265 gallon glass aquarium with a plexiglass sump at a great deal. The tank looks solid. Half inch glass with a double pane on the bottom. The sump is another story. Before i actually put this tank in my house and fill...

I recently bought a used 55 gallon from someone that I want to use as a grow out tank for mbuna African cichlids. The tank was previously a salt water aquarium. I was wondering if I could use the sand that it came with in an African cichlid setup or do i have to buy a new substrate. I'm not sure...
