I have a big tank for my ball python. He never leaves his hut.

[brockalope]

HELP!!! What’s wrong with my fish? He’s had these marks for about a month. Tanks in normal parameters. He’s behaving normally and eating well and no other fish have similar symptoms.

New tank! 20 High with DIY mattenfilter. I still have too much bare sand. What other plants should I add, fishblr?

[brockalope]

Personally I like the negative space but if your set on a plant I always find wisteria is very versatile. If been successful using it as a floating plant a carpeting plant and a stem plant. It's unique leaf shape makes for a nice contrast.

This is Marvin. He's a tough guy to photograph so I hope you all enjoy.

Three months later, slow going in low-tech scapes.

Crypts melted, slowly coming back. Java fern grew in and looks healthier. I keep the water level a little lower to stop jumping fish.

What's everyone's biggest fish fear?

Mine is accidentally sucking up a fish with the siphon.

[brockalope]

That my spray bar will pop out of the tank and flood my apartment AGAIN!

NEXT FISH HAS TO BE A PEA PUFFER. I’M FRIGGIN OBSESSED YALL.

So far I’be only kept bettas properly…and I’d love to branch out, but still would like to keep tanks small since moving happens 1-2x a year~ ive seen them kept in groups…are they social fish? .-. …any nuances/tips/personal experience shared would be appreciated! :) (i love to hear about all the little things you dont usually find in care sheets)

[anabantoid]

I made a pea puffer guide the other day as a matter of fact.

And I wouldn’t really consider them social in the way you’d see other fish, they’re ‘social’ the same way a betta is, where they’ll respond to you, they know who you are and that you give them food and they’ll beg. I tried cohabbing and it didn’t work out, even though I had a tank that was the right size for more than one and the tank was heavily planted. I honestly feel like the people saying they can live together sound like the people who say female bettas can live together, you have to have so much done in the tank to prevent them from bullying one another that it doesn’t really seem natural. They’re pretty much solitary fish that you can’t really keep with other fish.

Yeah i got one to help with my snail population. he’s a hard worker

Yo fishblr!

I have a problem and I think the only way to solve it is to throw my filter out the window.

I’ve had this damn 30 gal Top Fin Power Filter in my goldfish tank for less than a month now and it started making this demonic grinding noise. I’ve taken it apart at least a dozen times and it won’t shut the hell up!

Is there anyway to quiet this thing while I save up for a better one?

Also, what’s a good filter to get? I know Fluvals are like ‘the’ filter to get, but I want to know what others to look at as well.

Many thanks! 💕

I like the aqueon quiet flow filters. I’ve had a quiet flow 50 running on my goldie tank(30 gallons) for almost four months with no problems. For the $32 I paid because petco matches their online prices in store I can’t say I’ve been disappointed at all. I’ve never had bad luck with the quiet flow filters.

[toothless-the-betta-fish]

Fluval aquaclears are lifesavers tbqh. Powerful, lots of different filtration, and not breaking the bank

[brockalope]

Try cleaning out your impeller. i know my penguin filter makes that sound on occasion. For a quick fix I lift the intake tube up just a little bit and let the impeller fall back into the hole. Hope that helps good luck!
