Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've done some research and it looks like Canada's carry-on restrictions are pretty similar to those in the US. I'm getting a bit worried about getting through security with the fish - I can already imagine the hassle of having to pour out the water from the bottle. If you're determined to make it ...

Honestly, I think it's best to wait until you've settled into your new place before bringing home more fish. Eight months might seem like a long time, but it's really not that bad in the grand scheme of things. I'd be devastated if I lost a fish I'd just brought home during the move - all those ...

Considering your situation, I'd recommend sticking with a betta. Given their hardiness, I think they'd be the best choice for someone planning to move overseas. I've had experience relocating with bettas in the past, and as long as your water parameters are stable, they should do just fine. It's ...

Hey, I've gotta say, I think a betta's your best bet here. I've moved with them a couple times, and they're super hardy. As long as your water parameters are good, you'll be fine. I'd personally wait till you're all settled before getting new fish, just so you don't get too attached and then they ...

I'm getting a new 10 gal tank and I'm torn between a few species. The thing is, I'm moving overseas in 8 months and I want to take my new pet with me, just like I'm planning to take my betta. I'll be bringing my established sponge filters too, so I'll need a hardy fish that can handle the trip.

I set him up in a heated and filtered 10-gallon tank right away with 2 hides and a silk plant. I've got before and after ...

Thanks to you both for the advice, it's really helpful as always.
I think I'll stick with my current lights and keep using the root tabs. Hopefully the new leaves will thicken up a bit as they grow.

I do have a bit of algae, which I clean off every few weeks - mainly just a green film on the ...

They're Interpet T8s, with a spectrum of around 660nm - I'm pretty sure that's in the red spectrum. I couldn't find a K rating in the manual, but they're listed as 780 lumens and 7,000 hours. I'm not sure how good they're supposed to be, but they came with the package so I didn't have much choice. I ...

Hi Everyone,

Got a question about my Zorchzon swords - not too familiar with aquarium plants, so bear with me.

They're doing well, I think - got some flowering stalks growing out of the tank and loads of new leaves. The new leaves look healthy, but they're a bit transparent (still green, but I can ...
