Does anyone have any ideas on ghost shrimp and breeding? I have read the articles on the internet and they all pretty much say the same thing...kinda needing some personal experiences. How many eggs can one female ghost shrimp lay? Do you really need brackish water? When do the eggs get...

Hi everyone! I bought some new ghost shrimp yesterday and I'm noticing some of them have white "string" looking stuff inside their bodies. They themselves are perfectly clear, but some of them have this... what looks like white coiled up string. I can take some pictures if you'd like to see. Not...

Okay, so I've been having serious guppy issues. Luckily I've been keeping notes as I do water changes and such, though I've seemed to lose interest in proper note keeping. So here's what I have, though the exact dates may be off. I started my fish tank on 10/10/07. I bought 2 fish that passed...

Hello PawTalk, Iv had fish as a teen (Guppies, gold fish, mollies, angel fish & barbs) I found these fish messy and uninteresting to watch. I have a 10 gal tank which I plan to start a "fishless" cycle before I start making a "community". Have looked at the different types of sharks and was...

I have a 3 month old freshwater tank. It's a 9 gallon biube, planted tank with 7 guppies. I noticed a small snail on the log one day about 2 months ago, but I never saw it again so I figured something had killed it. The other day, however, I saw about 40 little snails crawling EVERYWHERE! I...

my brother just started a freshwater aquarium and he just bought 2 fish from walmart to add. The fish were not labeled at walmart, so we have no clue what they are. They are yellow with black spots and a white belly and i think they may be green spotted puffer fish, which seems unlikely coming...

I just got a ten gallon tank :D I have two female guppies and a male guppy in it. I was originally planning on filling my tank with little baby guppies, but then I decided I needed a little variety. so, I was wondering what your recommendations are for fish compatible with guppies. and also do...

I just took my 5 gallon tank out of storage.I am gonna put my last remaining betta ~Icey~ in it and my last black khuli loach. I was wondering what else I can put in it and what should I get? I don't know what I want.

so we finally got around to setting up one of the 10 gallon tanks, i was kinda thinking it would be for our female guppy, and her possible coming babies.. so the question is should we put her in there alone? or get her another female? or should i maybe put a few corys in the tank with her...

i think im gonna get some fish tomorrow.. david was talking about wanting to go do something, so we might goto the city catch a movie and visit a pet store.. if nothing else comes up anyway.. so if i do get some fish, how many should i get? i know its not good to put too many fish in a new...

A guy I work with just bought a new betta fish. He said that they got him a nice 2.5 gallon tank set up. He made sure he treated the water before he put the betta in. They also bought some ghost shrimp and some betta approved plants to place in the aquarium. The betta was fine but about 36-48...

they seem easy to take care of, but its a hit or miss for me what kind of water do they prefer, brackish?

i stated in one of my posts.. somewhere.. that i used to have a very aggressive tank. 2 red tailed barracuda, an arrowanna, and needlefish and this fish in there now (for the life of me i cannot remember his name). i also have 3 loches (sp?) but they are always hiding so they are fine at the...
