Fish can be very hard to care for at times. There are many diseases that fish can contract which will put your whole ecosystem in jeopardy. That's exactly what happened to my 55 gallon fish tank. One of my fish was apparently sick when I brought it home, but I really couldn't tell for a while...

Last night I set up a 10 gallon fish tank to accommodate all the fish that have been breeding in my tank lately. I set it up much like my 55 gallon tank, but changed a few of its features to make it better for the baby fish. I added a lot of shelter to the tank. Most species of Fish are notorious for...

Fancy-tailed guppies usually come in a few fairly basic color groups, the most common of which are predominantly green, blue, or red. There are certain patterns and traits that are typical among each color group, so when you breed guppies of different colors, you might end up mixing both colors and patterns...

Hey, at least you ain't got no algae growin' on your back like a sloth. I mean, if I got algae on my back, I don't know what I'd do! Maybe I'd scrub it off with a loofa in the shower. But then I'd have to take showers.

What you have is a self-perpetuating problem. Why do you need an algae eater? To get rid of the algae! But you need algae to keep the algae eater alive, so you find yourself having to increase your problem in order to keep your solution going strong. Sounds like the bureaucratic process in a nutshell...

Your tank is so amazing it should be on display somewhere. You've really done a great job building the ecosystem that's required for the various kinds of freshwater fish you have. It's obviously working out - you've even got "babiiiiiiieeees!". It impresses me every time I see...

First, gather the materials you will need for your tank. Once these are all together you're ready to set up your aquarium. Before you do anything, put the background on your tank. It will be much harder to do once you have the tank in place, so get it out of the way first. Now set up the stand and...

I have had a flourishing 55 gallon aquarium for months now and a couple of the fish have been having babies. I needed another tank to put them in so they wouldn't be eaten by all the other fish, so I set out to get a smaller 10 gallon aquarium. Aside from the tank itself, you need a lot of other...

When I made my weekly stop at the fish store I was immediately struck by a pair of brightly colored fish swimming actively in a tank of guppies. Their backs were dotted with tiny jewels and their colors were absolutely exquisite. I could tell by their body shape they were cichlids, which are notoriously...

When I picked up my gold tetras, I also noticed some huge tetras in another tank. What initially struck me, aside from their abnormally large size for tetras was their bluish purple stripe on the base of their tails. In dull or washed out light, they appear mostly pale, but under a bluer spectrum like...
