r/Aquariums

I’m building a stand for a 125 gallon aquarium is this good enough or do I need to add more legs and braces?

Hello All!

I'll start this off saying that I'm brand new to r/Aquariums and have never owned fish or a tank or anything. I'm a ceramicist and I fell down a bit of rabbit hole last year making these ceramic houses. They were originally meant to be lamps or candle luminaries, but a ton of people have seen them and said they should go into a fish tank! This video doesn't quite do the color justice, the top of the roofs are a really nice copper green/aquamarine with a pretty marbled texture that I think would really pop underwater.

I'm posting here to ask the community if i took some quality photos and posted this on eBay what would be a reasonable price to ask for? I put a lot of hours into it (probably 100+) but its a bit cracked and missing a wall. I was thinking of asking around $300-500 but have no idea how much money people tend to drop on big decor like this (the base is about 1.25" square and about 1" tall).

I would really appreciate any tips or advice!

Also truly sorry if I'm breaking the "no selling" community guideline. I'm not trying to solicit here, just looking for advice. I'm having trouble finding other pieces for sale online that I could use as a guidepost.

Thank you!!

It's the red sea monster. ATTACK!! 😜

So this is my first mostly water with some land mass tank, with multiple caves with levels, varying water flow, dual filtration and small powerhead and waterfall. I have moss and rocks right in the splash zone and am building a larger, longer enclosure for once he starts to become mostly terrestrial. He's a northern spring salamander in his larval stage. Id love thoughts, opinions, suggestions, etc!

I've been doing some research, but there’s so much conflicting info online. I really don't want to spend a fortune and end up with a fish that loses its color or isn't a true Super Red.

​For the experts here: What are the red flags I should watch out for? And are there any specific certifications or farm reputations that actually matter? Thanks in advance for the help!

I know what I must do

It's so tiny I thought it was a shrimplet at first. Welcome to the aquarium little one!

First time setting up a betta tank, used to MUCH larger community tanks. This is a 40L cube. Just not sure what else I can do to it to make my betta happier!

I know I need some sort of a perch closer to the surface, and I’m thinking about getting a plant corral to prevent the floaters blocking the light getting to my pink plant. Also need to even out the substrate after my partner helped with a water change last night… lol

Any tips greatly appreciated!

I keep seeing posts about how people struggle to breed their corys and I'm out here trying to get them to stop! They live with angels how are they this successful! They are peppered Cory and some have the genes for longfin, which was a fun surprise!

Her name is Lucy apparently and they saved her from being thrown in the pot with the rest of her friends and she was the smallest of them.

How do you take care of this thing anyways?

got some shrimp and some of the floating plants were in the bag with them. i’m guessing this guy hitched a ride. please tell me he isn’t something to worry about

We recently got an axolotl and we upgraded her to a new tank which means we got a new filter but it’s making this loud noise and idk what to do. I read that it could be air trapped but we have the tank filled all the way to the top and nothing is clogging it it’s brand new so idk it’s driving me crazy. Any help/ suggestions/ tips would be greatly appreciated ( or any axo advice I’m a newbie lol)

I ordered some plants from Dustin’s Fishtanks and one came with a little hitch hiker of a snail I’ve kept in a jar for a week and he’s growing on me

My biggest fear is adding it to my planted aquarium with my male koi betta and the snail multiplying and making lil snail babies

I can’t identify what type of snail it is :’)

The snail has been here one month before I introduced my betta. Water parameters have been pristine ever since. Do you think I can add some livebearers here?

this is to say thank you to the ma'am or sir who helped me transfer a 55 to a 75 in a night.. you were right.. I was scared that not adding old tank water would end in mass casualties of shrimp snails and possibly fish.. it did NOT .. reporting no losses .. my substrate plants wood and filter *uncleaned* were enough..

(please note my glass is constantly touched or rubbed on making fish chase fingers its not the water its the glass.)

all my levels are perfect.. no recycle .. no nothing.. here is the update pics

So I’ve been cycling this 65 gallon tank for almost a month and all has been going well. Anyways, today I noticed two random baby fish in there, and I haven’t added any fish yet. Only plants and snails and equipment. Can anyone help me identify them and give some advice on how to care for them? I’ve only ever had full grown bettas and goldfish. No clue about these but I am BAFFLED on how they even got in there…

I have a 3 gallon rimless tank with one mystery snail in it. I got some java moss, plants, almond leaves, spider wood, calcium rock, and an at-at. I was wondering what else I should add to it? I was also thinking about adding another snail.

Current inhabitants: 12 ember tetras, 7 panda Cory’s and 1 baby BN pleco and a few mixed cherry shrimp + 1 Amano . I do know that betas and gouramis may eat shrimps however, i am not worried due to this being an old pic and things are way more grown in.

My main worry is my Aqua clear 50 and air stone making the flow too heavy for a labyrinth fish. I could buy a flow restricter or turn the flow down.
