Dog asked:


Do they need special food or can they just thrive off of the fish waste?

Also, do I need to keep them in the plastic frames/pots that some of them come in, or should I just take them out and put them into the gravel?

Anyone know of unique freshwater aquarium creatures?

Kat asked:


I have a freshwater aquarium, and while I love my little fishies, I often find myself drooling over my dad’s saltwater specimens. Anyone know of unique creatures for a freshwater aquarium?
(And I don’t mean just fish.)

For reference, I currently have:
-2 guppies
-3 Neon Tetras
-2 Danios
-1 snail (I have forgotten the full name, but it’s something to do with golden)
I have 2 different plants, a rock formation, and marbles and such scattered about the bottom. I don’t buy my fish based on priced, rather on if I think they’re pretty or not. If you plan to insult my tank, or myself, I’d much rather you not answer at all.

What are these tiny brown dots floating around my freshwater aquarium?

freshwater aquarium
booradley asked:


I have a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium. Currently, I only have 5 neon tetras and 4 platys in it.

A few months ago I began to see tiny brown dots (thats the best way I can describe them) floating around in my aquarium. I didn’t know if they were eggs, or a parasite, or something foreign introduced to the aquarium. A platy had dissapeared a few weeks before this happened, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I thought these brown dots might have been related to it? I treated the tank with anti-pariasite medication, than antibacterial, then antifungal. I unfortunately lost one platy from dropsy, and later a guppy from unknown causes (the guppy dissapeared).

The tank got better eventually, but now a few months later, they are back with a vengance. There must be thousands of them. They’re everywhere. There’re floating in the water, in the gravel, on the plants(I don’t have real plants). I have no idea what they are, or how to get rid of them for good. Please help!
