Hello, can you help me identify this plant please, the people at the store didn't know the species. Also is my aquarium good
Thanks for reaching out about your aquarium. Sorry not very good at botany but there should be tropical fish clubs that might help in identification. But comments about your tank. First, not sure if light penetration will be good for a plant that low in the water column. Secondly, the balanced rock formation looks tenuous, and might fall. Good luck.

I have an issue, this involves all my fish I am moving from Georgia to Utah, and of course that’s a long distance by car, but if will also restrain me from seeing my fish due to the fact that I will be flying there. How do I feed them while they’re b
Thanks for reaching out. If is a good idea to fast for 1-2 days prior to shipment, this decreased feces and will help to keep the ammonia down. Typically clear bags are utilized with about 50% water, and 50% air/oxygen used. A local pet store might be able to assist, as they get shipment in (so have older bags and boxes, which need to be disinfected) and hopefully the skills to ship. Check with the airline also, box needs to be well labelled "LIE ANIMALS" and "THIS END UP". Sometimes a health certificate for interstate travel is needed, so contact airline and State of Utah, veterinarian. Good luck.

I am a beginner and I was planning on getting purchasing a 20 gallon tank. I wanted a Tang, a Clownfish, a Chromis a some guppies, would the size tank be to small?
The Tang, Clownfish, and Chromis are marine fish requiring a saltwater aquarium while guppies are freshwater fish. These fish are not compatible as they require two completely different setups to accommodate their different environmental needs. If you are going to set up a marine aquarium - a 20 gallon aquarium is too small for the fish you have listed. A small Percula Clownfish maybe suitable in a 20 gallon aquarium temporarily, but be prepared to upgrade to a larger aquarium as it grows larger. In general, 50+ gallon aquariums are recommended to properly house marine fish as they tend to grow large and require plenty of room to swim. If you are planning to set up a freshwater aquarium, a 20 gallon setup is adequate to house guppies.

i have a question, we recently got glofish as a gift to my mother. I bought the water conditioner, food, plants and a volcano to decorate the tank, its a 5 gallon tank so they would have alot of room to swim. But all 5 fish, just stay at the bottom
Thanks for your question about your fish, and congratulations on your new family members! I didn't see how recently the tank was set up, but there are a couple of things that could be going on. I would start by checking your water quality - any abnormalities in water quality can make fish have abnormal behaviors, and the water looks a bit murky in the photos you provided. There may be parameters that need to be addressed depending on what you find. If you do not have a water quality kit, they can be purchased at the pet store or an aquarium store, or you can take a sample of your water in for evaluation to these places as well. Some will charge a small fee for this service, just so you are prepared. Also, with recent tank set ups, it can be stressful for fish as they are in a new habitat. I would recommend keeping the light on for only a few hours per day to start, as the bright lights can be shocking for them (since fish don't have eyelids). Gradually you can increase the length of t
