Bought this set a while ago as a small desktop tank for some shrimps, but im kinda worried now that its a bit to small to keep some neo's in. This tank is 15x15x20cm Can anyone help me with stocking ideas of if its even suitable for anything? Any help is greatly appreciated

I'm getting a UNS 25C (4 gallon) tank to house 1 betta. I will get some live floating plants like frogbit or red root floaters, but inside the tank, I may just use half live and half artificial, or just all artificial plants for decor. Since there will be some live plants and thus plant debris (at least initially), what type of small filter is recommended? Internal, sponge or hob?

I got this jar, and its absolut cute! But unfortunately I can’t think of a really good scape design. Maybe one of you can help me :)

Could I put a shrimp in here to maintain algae? Instructions say there will be a growth and to manage using aquarium products. I would LOVE to have a teeny desktop cherry shrimp!

My tank is... hideous. There's no other word for it. It's got a ton of hygrophilia triflora and it's just butt-ugly (sorry if you like this particular plant).

Id like to rescape it and add some prettier plants and a few more nanos (shrimp, rasboras, tetras) but I've never broken down a tank before.

Whats the easiest way to go about this? If I keep the water I take out will the cycle still crash because I'm removing/adding plants? How long does everyone wait after a heavy rescape before adding new critters?

Thanks!

There's a whole lotta lovin' going on in my tank just now. I have it set up on my desk where I work at home, and so get yo see what's going on in there quite a lot of the time. I've been running it since Feb, it's got shrimp and Vietnamese Cardinal Minnow.

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I saw berries on a shrimp. They've been breeding before, but I've never seen the eggs before then.

Just now, while on a work call I saw the minnows really kicking off - displaying, chasing each other... And then! And then I saw two of them sneak off into the moss and go through an egg scattering 'dance'!

Woohoo! Told my partner I'm going to need a bigger tank but the look on her face says actually I'm going to have to find someone to take some off my hands when it gets a bit crowded in there.

Hi - I bought this aquarium and am looking for a complete diagram or set of photos for initial setup. The setup manual and associated videos are incomplete at best, not even mentioning various parts, what they do, or how they connect. So far, emailing the manufacturer and Amazon seller has been useless; no response from Pondon, and the seller and Amazon only sent me a PDF of the incomplete "manual" and videos that are more marketing than instructional. Thank you!

Have a single female pea puffer (Mrs. Puff) and she just hides all day and SOMETIMES peeks her lil eye around the corner. What should I do for her? More plants are coming, but other than more foliage is there something I can do to enrich her life? I'd like to see her sometime 😭

Hi all. Have a 6 gallon Fluval Edge. Gravel substrate, a large rock, a large branch, one fist sized Anubis, a scattering of java moss, and something else that is skinny and tall with tiny oval leaves that is probably 10-15 stalks. The tank has 2 guppies, 7 ember tetras, 1 nerite snail and a whole colony of cherry shrimp. I know the tank is overstocked, but what could I do to help keep the substrate cleaner other than vacuuming? It doesn't seem like the gravel gets moved around at all and it accumulates a ton of junk. I saw somewhere it said trumpet snails will get into the gravel, but worry about their population exploding and not leaving enough biofilm for the shrimp

I'm looking at a 10 gallon tank soon, and would love to have some cherry shrimp, kuhli loach, and then a pair of centerpiece fish.

I was really looking forward to having a pair of apistos, but that's pretty much a no-go with shrimp.

Do rainbow fish have similar personalities to an apisto/Scarlet badis/Betta?

Is there another species you'd recommend that I haven't listed that has an interesting personality/behaviors and gets along well with others, including shrimp?

That's primarily what I'm interested in.

Thanks!

So I'm not new to fishkeeping, but I'm struggling to make up my mind on what nano fish to add to my new tank.

My dream is to have scarlet badis, but not until I can get a 40B. I also love danios, but I want something different. Same thing with rasboras.

Is there anything different that I can find?

I'm working a paludarium in a 50 gallon tank and would like suggestions on what fish I might be able to keep in it. The water section is about 5 inches across, 2 inches deep and is 4 feet long. It holds roughly 5 gallons of water and it's also plumbed into a 75 gallon tank so bioload isn't an issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I just got a nano tank! It’s already set up and everything and even has one shrimp 🦐 I didn’t get a lot of information on it. What are some tips you would give to a beginner? How often do I need to feed the shrimp? Could I get some other shrimp/fish and if so what kinds? What types of plants should I get? Any tips would be great! Thanks

What if I want to add new plants while I already have a shrimp in there? I was told I have to wait after the algae bloom is that true?

I changed the substrate in my aquarium and now I’m having an ammonia and nitrate spike, but 0 nitrites. How can I fix this? Yesterday I added 5 ml of API stress zyme and did a 30% water change. I have 3 guppys and 2 harlequin rasboras. One rams horn snail that may be deceased. Any advice appreciated. 10gal

I had the Penn-Plax Aquasphere 360 pop up in an ad and now I have a craving for an aquarium that's not a rectangle.

Does anyone have experience with these, or biOrbs, or anything similar? For the money am I better off going to Ross and getting my own weird orb or other shape and going fully DIY?

Edit: not fully decided on what to use it for, but I'm thinking of doing a saltwater setup with live rock, inverts, maybe macro algae? Or maybe opae ulae? Probably no fish or coral.

I’m looking to replace the hang on back filter in a 2.5 gallon tank with something external, and hopefully more efficient. I need a small low flow canister or something similar. Any suggestions?

Currently stocked with 3 khuli loaches 6 cherry shrimp Around 8 ramshorn snails
