How Much Should I Feed My Fish? | Debunking the 2-Minute Rule (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much should you actually feed your fish? Advice like “feed only what they can eat in two minutes” sounds simple, but it leaves out some of the biggest factors that determine how much food aquarium fish really need.

That becomes especially confusing with schooling fish. You may be told that a species needs a larger group to feel secure and behave more naturally—but at the same time, a stockin

Read excerpt
Why is your aquarium water cloudy? White, green, brown, and hazy aquarium water can have very different causes—and figuring out what you’re actually looking at is the first step toward deciding whether you need to do anything about it.
