So I did a big no no..I decided I wanted to go to a bare bottom tank and removed all my gravel. I had plants and driftwood and replaced my 2 filters. Well I apparently got rid of a lot of my good bacteria because I had a bacteria bloom and the water got really cloudy. I did a 50% water change...

My fiancé and I signed up for a competition, with our local news (KSL 5, Utah), to win a free all-inclusive wedding at an amazing Aquarium here in Utah! We both love fish (I'm obviously obsessed), and just animals in general, so as you can imagine this would be amazing! We are officially one of...

Love this guy. It's still pretty small, maybe 3 1/2 inches.

Good day everyone, I need some help on my discus with head down symptom (Headstanding, Loss of Balance). Few days ago I noticed one of my discus is having a head down symptom. He is not eating anymore. (Beside head down there is no other obvious symptoms - ie. heavy breathing, bloat, worm or...

Hey Guys, I was a member of MFK years ago, got into saltwater for awhile and my urge to keep and breed freshwater rays got the best of me. I just finished my tank and here are some pics. I have no idea what my Hybrid is mixed with, and insight would be great!

Since I was a kid I have always wanted to have discus. I never got them because they were not available at my LFS and then they were just too expensive for me as a kid. Here I am 20 years later and I would like to start breeding them. I will admit I am not far into the process yet, started...

Hey! I'm looking into getting discus finally. But I want to buy from local breeders. The only problem is. I can't find any !? Someone point me in the right directions ?

Hi Everyone, Finally jumped into discus keeping - just wanted to share the new guys I got. The fishes have been in the tank for 2 weeks now and are eating like pigs. Daily 30% water changes are keeping them happy. Any comments/suggestions appreciated :)

So I was in my LFS and saw a tank marked broken glass, a quite large one indeed. Upon talking to the manager i asked "hey are you just gonna throw this thing out?" and surely enough i got to take it home FREE of charge. :] Im lucky since only one of the side panels was cracked, and i have...
