Ok so I recently purchased 6 zebra danios and have decided they are the first fish I would like to attempt to breed, I have read a few things about placing pairs into a breeding tank, how do I know when they have made a pair, or should I just put all 6 of them in? Also how do I know for sure I...

Specs of the tank are 90g water is spot on 0 amm and nitites, 20-30 nitrates. Residents are 2 peppermint bristlenose (one about 3 inches the other about 2) 5 clown loaches(each around 2-3inches)(one is also recent addition about 2weeks) 4 neon tetras 3 glass shrimp Woke up a couple of Mornings...

Though I would share these pictures but there not that good, But my clown loaches have moved almost an inch and a half from the corner of my tank and made a pile,they burried the end of the wing on the helicopter. And I have no live plants left as the uprooted them all.

Ahh I new I would forget some details, ok using API freshwater master kit to test, from what I could understand from the bottles they where made last year and don't expire for about 4 years correct? When doing a water change I use prime. I was using API water conditioner when the problem first...

Ok so I have had a 90g tank set up for months now, I originally used seeded media and had it sitting on 0ammonia, 0 nitrites and low nitrates, with 2 juvenile bristlenose plecos, a red tail shark and 10 neons. I have since added 4 2.5inch clown loaches and have had off the charts ammonia since...

Well it's a 90g tank, the RedTail shark is still young but hopefully he stays peaceful. I just thought it was funny as he basically does everything the clown loaches do

Hi all, I have a RedTail shark who for a lack of a better word is schooling with my 4 clown loaches. He deffinetly isn't chasing them or darting at them, he just swims around with and acts like he is one of them. Anyone else experience this? Or is this maybe his way of attacking them I just...

Ok so I really think it is mould as while cleaning I realized it was everywhere, on the glass as well as driftwood and it looked like spores and it had spread within a day, saying that though I also while cleaning found hundreds of baby snails. Is it related or probably just mould, in which case...

I gravel vac once a week, planning to do one tomorrow anyway so I'll vac it all out then

I everyone, turned on my tank lights today after a few days blackout due to heat and found a weird white substance over my sand. I'm thinking possibly snail eggs from my plants but there is just so much of it, any suggestions ?

I have a 90g tank. I did a fair bit of research into all my fish as it took me about 12months to save for my tank :) and iv wanted these fish since before then as well . I even asked on here a few months backs is all my fish would be fine for my size tank and was told yes. Wat I ment was should...

Hi all, ok my stock is 2 peppermint plecos 7 neons 4 clown Loaches Just wondering what I should feed these fishes and how much, The plecos are just under 2 inches The clown loaches are about 2 inches And the neons are neon size lol. I have algae wafers, shrimp pellets, and tropical fish flakes...

Edit: sorry it told me my post earlier didn't go thought, but thanks yea life sounds like it will be easier now. Stopping at a hardware store on my way home from work to get a hose with tap connector on it :)

Well I always thought it would be bad for the fish but I suppose as long as the water gets treated some where it's all good then. Buckets are ok when doing a PWC on a 24 gallons but it's just stupid on 90g tank. My first idea was to just fill like a 10g tub on wheels treat it and then use a pump...

So basically 1.gravel vac and syphon out water. 2.add water conditioner for whole tanks volume. 3. Fill directly from tap. Matching temp as close as possible. Correct yes? If so I'll probably be saving myself half an hours worth of carrying buckets back and forth.
