Can bumble bee gobies coexist with plecos?
Also, can plecos survive in tap water or do they need dechlorinated water?


When the goby wanders into the pleco's hideout, that's when trouble can start. My previous pleco was notorious for defending its territory - it took out three fish that ...

Getting old isn't the golden years, it's just plain tough. I've found that exercising daily, even weight lifting, really helps keep my muscle mass up and my health in check. Socialising is key too, it keeps me sane. And having pets, well that's a big one for me, gives me a reason to get up in the ...

I also use a good plant substrate and strong 6500k lighting. Since then, my swords have been growing ...

I'm with everyone else on this, my tank's got swords, anubias, and java fern, and I've gotta say, they're all doing great. I've also got ...

I'm curious, if you were to separate the smaller discus from the rest, would the aggressive behavior still occur among the remaining six. You may need to consider swapping it out for a larger one at the LFS. As cichlids, discus are naturally aggressive and I've found that in my experience, they're ...

I recently set up my Betta tank with a Java Fern Pad that caught my eye.

It's been about a year since I installed it, and I've noticed it's been slowly melting away. Despite regular fertilization and experimenting with different lighting setups over the past few months, the melting persists ...

I'd definitely recommend getting another clown loach, or even two. They seem to thrive when they have some buddies to hang out with, and since your remaining loach is already showing signs of loneliness, I think it would really help to have some new friends for him.
