In contrast to the recent "least favorite aquarium fish" thread (which you should check out), lets hear your MOST favorite aquarium fish and why! I'll start! My favorite has to be the senegal bichir. While I don't have one at this time, they're cute, interesting, a good addition to large tanks...

Could anyone here recommend a store (online or physical) where one could obtain Banded Archerfish for a reasonable price? (Preferably UNDER $30 per fish with a shipping cost that's not too ridiculous. I'm not exactly broke but I am a little tight.) I've been looking for them for a while, but...

Hi guys, I recently (about 2 weeks ago) bought some more blue mystery snails to put into my planted 20 gallon tank. A few days ago, I noticed that one of the snails had these spots (photo provided) on the back of the shell. At first thought I believed them to be eggs, but after doing some...

Hi all! I am back after lurking for about a month. I had some questions about getting some very small senegal bichirs and leopard bush fish to eat. Also, my plan is somewhat coming to fruition! If you look at my only other post you can see that I wanted to get a 300 gallon tank. Well, about a...

Hey all, I purchased a fire eel and an iridescent shark from my LFS. The shark isn't very active, and when it's still on the bottom for a long time the eel nudges it gently and it starts swimming again. I figured I'd QT them together because they came from the same store, and they're both young...

I am building a 15 by 5 ft pond and was wondering if this would be sufficient housing for a RTC

Evening! Long story short...I have become the anxiety-driven foster owner of what I believe is an entire community of Jade Sleeper Gobies. Also know that my family and I have kept & bred the most common freshwater and saltwater fish in tanks up to 200 gallons. We've also kept crayfish, crabs...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and rather new to aquariums and fish as a whole. I’ve had cichlids for about a year and a half now. I had mainly Africans but due to me moving I’ve sadly lost all but 2 of my Africans due to the stress of it all (luckily they left a surprise behind them with 4 fry that...

Hey Guys! I'm new to this forum, sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place. I have a Juwel Rio 400 and I want to put some Channa Bleheri's in it after new year. The thing is that i saw a couple of videos where snakeheads burst straight through the aquarium glass and it kinda got me worried. The...

Not mine but my friend. Can fire eel morph their colour late stage? I know certain catfish can morph from normal to leucistic or xanthic. But this eel morph from normal to xanthic and back to normal. Can anyone explain why???

Hello All, I have recently started building a 460 gallon aquarium (80'x45'x30'), and am wondering what the best light would be to light my aquarium. My plan with the aquarium was to fill it up a little less than 1/2 of the way and create a paludarium with plants growing fully emersed, floating...
