Amanda asked:


I’m using fish food to cycle my aquarium. Should I leave the filter off until it’s done cycling, or can I leave it on?
I don’t have any fish in the tank yet, if that wasn’t clear.

Deneen asked:


I want to make a cave for my fish. I’d like to use somenthing creative but know that I could also contaminate the water if I use something that leeches into the water. I know my aquarium-safe gravel is painted with latex. So, can I use latex paint to coat a rock or something and use that in the tank?

Momof1 asked:


I have a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium. I currently have a male betta and a female balloon molly. I started with 3 balloon mollies and then after the tank was fully cycled I added the betta, who killed off 2 of the 3 mollies. He seems to be fine with the one surviving molly (who is quite aggressive herself) They have been living together peacefully for 2 weeks now. I would like to add a few more fish, but I don’t want to overcrowd. I have tried numerous ghost shrimp but they die very quickly and I cannot find any other type of shrimp in the local pet stores. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don’t want to take the betta out of the tank.

i want an aquarium in my room and i would like to have maybe 1 or 2 fish about 6″ big. but i want them to be pretty!!!
which types are best?
ive had fishies before, and the tank is about 15″ by 12″ by 4 feet.
dont know how many gallons that is but its huge.
i was thinking along the lines of pirahnas or puffers… interesting things like that!

luvthemcows asked:


it would be helpful if you could list some freshwater fish that don’t eat the aquatic plants in your tank, or the plants that werent eaten.
