Some of the plants sold in aquarium shops are marginal plants, meaning their entire lifecycle cannot be spent under water. The roots can stay wet, but the green part needs to get some air time. In a t...
Adding to what DK said, most aquarium fish can tolerate a range of water parameters but not sudden changes in any. Temperature and pH changes done rapidly can definitely shock the fish, as does the pr...

It may be a better approach to ask how few fish you can put in a given aquarium. A small capacity tank like five gallons will develop problems much faster than a large aquarium. If some uneaten food m...
Don't forget to thaw the frozen food before putting it in the aquarium.
I use a little cup, and take a bit of water out of the aquarium,thaw the food in it, then dump it back into the aquarium...
Regular paint is not much good (probably toxic) inside an aquarium. It's correct that you removed it. Most colored aquarium gravels have an epoxy coating, which is OK. The only way you can tell t...
If you have the resources and time, you can create almost any aquatic environment you want. One of the aquarium shops here in Phoenix has a small river environment with goldfish, and lots of outdoor p...
Same here. I'd love to see pictures of your aquarium building project. Right now, you seem to have too many messy fish in a too small aquarium. Some of those fish will grow to monster size and re...
Thanks for sharing that. Your comments about water quality apply to all types of aquarium fish. A healthy aquarium environment is the is the first necessity for successful fish keeping.
the aquarium is 35L, 5 platys, three danios, 8 tetras (i heard that tetras dont crowd your aquarium because of their size) and about 7 tiny platy fry. its quite abit but im keeping a look out for a bi...
If you put too many fish into an aquarium, you will probably end up with sick fish. This is especially applicable for a small capacity aquarium. Since puffers don't make good tankmates, you may w...
The Mollies can tolerate brackish water, and some people use salt to cope with aquarium diseases. The boxes of aquarium salt usually have dosing recommendations. For most aquarium fish, snails and pla...
Did you buy the driftwood from an aquarium shop and is it intended for aquarium use? The gunk is probably sap (basically a sugar) that should not be in your aquarium. Maybe it was intended for a repti...
Thanks for visiting.
Aquarium shops don't always tell you about the nitrogen cycle, but it's one of the most important aspects of aquarium keeping. You can read more about it by using ...
Do you have the same kind of substrate in both aquariums? Is the driftwood the sinking kind sold specifically for aquarium use? Have you added any medications or pH adjusters? Are all the decorations ...
Oh! that is good advice! thank you, I'll have to get some gravel from my sisters aquarium. How would I make sure all the disease is out of my aquarium without bleaching to keep the good bacteria?...
You can buy fertilizer tablets to put under the roots of a sword plant. Depending on how deep the aquarium is, you may need stronger lighting. People who grow difficult plants often use multi tube lig...
What did the aquarium pH measure? If the tap water has a neutral pH and the aquarium water has a very low pH, the aquarium has a source of acid. Since your aquarium is clean, the acid source could be ...

The water level should not rise above the level in the aquarium. I would be more concerned about the stress of water pressure on the outside panel. Somewhere on ask.com there is an entry about aquariu...
Usually, brown water that smells bad is caused by over feeding.
If it's a small aquarium, they tend to go bad with just a little bit of overfeeding. Does the aquarium have a filter, and does i...
Hello,
I am currently in the process of cycling my aquarium using 10% ammonia. I am at 5ppm for the ammonia, no nitrites and no nitrates. Is it safe to add plants to the aquarium with such high amm...
If you have time, you may want to read our blog about the nitrogen cycle. Most aquarium shops do not tell you about it, because they assume you already know. When i started in the hobby during the 195...
Cycling an aquarium involves growing three colonies of beneficial bacteria to oxidise harmful nitrogen compounds. A few of those bacteria are in the water, but most live in the substrate, on plants an...

I think the biggest problem is the small aquarium. Even a little bit of the wrong thing in a small water volume will have a large effect. A fish cannot stay healthy in an unhealthy environment. If you...

If you have plants in the aquarium and if you add some fish food every day, the tank will cycle itself. You're correct to check the contents of anything you put into the aquarium. Lots of househo...
