Re: finding female koi at petco

I just got this girl today from Petco. Will her color change? I know that kois are marbles, so I'm guessing she'll change from time to time? I was really excited to get her, even though she's quite a bit more expensive than plain veil tails.

My sister had one similar, and hers actually darkened and ...

Re: help with my betta fish issue

I'd say it's definitely too small for the tetras, just because they seem to be doing alright doesn't mean it's the best environment for them. We should stick to the established guidelines to avoid potential issues.

I'd recommend rehoming the tetras or upgrading to a larger tank for their sake. As ...

Re: help with my betta fish issue

I'm curious to know more about Pence's current condition. Are his scales looking a bit off, like they're sticking out in all directions? Is he appearing bloated at all? I'd love to see some pictures of him if you have any. Could you also share some info about your tank and water parameters?

Re: is a baby reef shark a good pet

I disagree, reef sharks can be kept in aquariums, but I think 7,000 gallons is pushing it. Large public aquariums with tanks over 100,000 gallons are better suited for these creatures. I've heard of some species like blacktips and lemon sharks being kept in 25,000 gallon tanks, that's a more ...

Re: Is tanganyika compatible with other size options


I'm setting up my 30 gallon tank as a Tang tank and considering the following fish:

- Neolamprologus similis (4)
- Black calvus (2-3)
- Lamprologus ocellatus (2-3)
- Neolamprologus caudopunctatus (4)

Will this combination cause too much aggression and stress in the tank? I've read that the ...
