I have a Ocellaris Clownfish and a Long Tentacle Anemone, I very much want my Ocellaris to host with the anemone but it just aint happening. My Ocellaris seems to like my heater better. Any suggestions. Or should I return my Ocellaris for a pair of Pink Skunk Clownfish.

I recently purchased a 72 gallon bow-front aquarium. I have not yet stocked it with fish. I want to get a yellow tang, a blue tang,a few snails, a sea star,some shrimp,2 clown fish,a damsel fish, possibly a seahorse.I am worried that if i buy an anemone it could kill them. Does anyone have any advice on anemones?I would love to add them to be a beautiful pair with the clown fish but do not want to jeopardize the other fish.

I have had my goldfish for 3 weeks or so and have been feeding it the same type of food, HBH Goldfish Bites pelleted food (he is a moor and sinking pellets are all I want to feed him). I feed him 3x every single day the same food, I just now found out that HBH has recalled it's Goldfish bites because it contains melamine. It does not say the date the contaminated food was made. how long should it be before I would have seen him getting ill if the food I have is contaminated? If it could take a while I want to dispose of the food, but if the food is safe (ie, he should have died by now if it really was contaminated) I don't want to throw away good food. How long would it take for symptoms to show up if I feed him 6-7 pellets 3x daily every single day?

Alright, so I recently got a 55 gallon tank, and I have a few questions.

1.) The tank came with a Whisper 60 filter, and a Whisper 200 watt heater. I've heard kind of iffy things about Whisper stuff. Should I replace these with better brands? If so, what?

2.) I'm planning on making this a planted tank, but I've never done one before. Is cycling different in PTs? How should I go about it? (I'm doing a fishless cycle) Are they harder to maintain than non-planted tanks?

3.) I was planning on stocking the tank with 6 congo tetras, 2 german blue rams, about 15 neon tetras, and 10-12 cory cats. Does this sound do-able? Am I at my bioload limit, or could I add more? I know about the whole "1 inch of fish per gallon" rule, but I also know that some fish have more/less impact on the bioload than others. If I can add more, what else would you suggest I add?

I have a 10 gallon tank with one molly and one male cory cat. My female cory died of old age and I wanted to get a new one becasue he will not be active after losing his mate. I have been testing my water and doing water changes. i add good bacteria and ph increase , but I cannot get my ph above 6. My water is very soft and the ph is too acidic. I am afraid to add another fish with this ph level. I can't go to expensive measures to fix this, but want to do my best. If anyone has any advise on how to handle this situation it would be greatly appreciated. Seems like the petstore employees don't even know what to do.

We have 2 guppies and 2 tetras in a fish bowl..I have no idea how big the bowl is but its probably about 4x the size of the small ones you can get a beta in? anyways we got the fish yesterday and today i noticed the water is cloudy. i am afraid to use tap water and i didnt really think to ask the lady at the pet store what type of water to use to clean it. she told me i did not need a filter or anything for these fish they do fine in bowls. so what should i do to keep the fish healthy and what type of water should i use? any ideas would be helpful.

I am thinking of fiddler crabs or something else kinda unique. When I set it up do I need fish in there to get the cycle going? Maybe a couple cheap feeder fish or something? And how long do I wait to put other fish in? Any help is appreciated.
