sjrockey asked:


Hello,
I have a 5 gallon poly hex tank. It is my first time having fish. I am doing this as a 4-H project. The tnak has been set up for 3 weeks. I actually put two mollies in a couple weeks ago, but they did not do well. Tank had not cycled correctly and too much nitrogen…
I am going to wait until the tank has been set up a month before I put other fish in the tank.
Anyway, what fish do you suggest?

Thanks,
rrockey

Taylor D asked:


I’ve had a 16 gallon tank for about 4 years now and some of my original fish have finally begun to die off :[ If you have any suggestions of hopefully non-aggressive fish that you’ve had great success with please let me know!
I currently have two tiny algae eaters, this weird eel thing that always hides, three tiny schooling fish (not barbs, but smaller) and a snail.

jacksfullhouse asked:


I don’t know what filters or air pumps I need to maintain a freshwater aquarium. I want to do as little maintenance as possible. Biological, mechanical, chemical filters????? Could you give me a specific example of which ones (with brand names) to get that work together well in keeping the water clean and clear?? I understand the temperature and the nitrification and ph and all that, I just don’t know what filters and pumps to use. It is a 20 gallon tank.

Is the tap water in Las Vegas, Nevada safe for freshwater aquarium fish? How about water softeners?

freshwater fish
moose7/2/74 asked:


I’m moving from southern California to Las Vegas and I have freshwater fish. Oscars and a community tank . I’ve heard that water softeners are ok to use if you use magnesium instead of salt and replace the removed minerals and adjust the ph back to neutral. Is that true, or will the fish be better off with straight untreated water from the tap?
