I just love those little fellas, they are my favorite, aquatic creature. Has anyone here tried keeping them in an aquarium? What’s that like? Do they do well in captivity?

i keep reading that humidity must be maintained in an aquarium occupied by an exotic animal (lizard, spider, etc.) question is, how do i do that exactly. i often read, spray water with a mist bottle into the aquarium, but to me that just sounds like moistening the substrate and getting the decorations wet. can someone help me with creating humidity? what am i doing wrong? i have a lid for the aquarium, but portions of it were removed because it was previously used for fish. i got aquarium from friend at work.

Elle asked:


I want to add some live plants to my aquarium, and was wondering if I could just get some plants from a local lake or river?
I should probably add that this is a new setup and I don’t even have fish yet.

andreak1013 asked:


I have a 5 gallon aquarium and would like to add a 50 watt heater for the winter, as temperatures are already starting to drop. However, I already have my three fish in it. Is it safe to add a heater while fish are in the aquarium, and does anybody have any tips on how I might go about it??

Thank you!
Sorry! They’re danios. Definitely tropical fish.

Renee asked:


I’m thinking about getting a small snail to put in my aquarium with my goldfish, but does a snail actually help with anything in the aquarium? what do they eat?
I don’t have any real plants in the aquarium, just the one fake one.

Lisa Marie asked:


The leaves on some of the silk plants in my aquarium are turning brown, along with some of the gravel. It’s very spotty but I notice more and more brown every day. The aquarium is filtered, not over stocked, I do 25% water changes every week, etc. Everything is otherwise fine. What could be causing this and what can I do to stop it?

A rectangular aquarium is to be 4 ft high and have a volume of 88 cu ft. The base, ends, and back are to be made of slate which costs $1.35 sq/ft, and the front is to be made of special reinforced glass that costs $2.35 sq/ft. What should be the length and width of the aquarium to minimize the cost of materials, and what is the minimum cost to build the aquarium?

vagabond_810 asked:


I’ll be spending the holiday weekend taking down and cleaning my aquarium. Does anyone know of a fast method for cleaning out the gravel? The aquarium will not be set up again any time soon, so I am not concerned with preserving the bacteria, etc., I just want to wash out all of the debris and make sure it doesn’t smell bad in storage.
