I think I have a sick fish. Hi have a black skirt tetra that I’ve had for about four years but is now hanging out at the top of the tank like he’s trying to breathe the air above the water. I have a 29 gallon tank freshwater,. We do weekly water changes and I use prime. Is this a sign that he’s...

It's a closed lid with a opening for a handle, another for the heater cord and one for the pump. There's moisture on the lid all the time.

Aquarium salt or should I use Epsom salts bath?

I've been dealing with white powder mold all over the inside of my tank lid. I keep wiping it off and it keeps coming back. Can I use bleach on it or will it be to dangerous for my fish?

it doesn't look fat anymore but has what looks like the same piece of white colored poop hanging out. Now it's hiding in a big rock display.

It keeps fighting to swim down but it keeps floating to the top. He's so small it's hard to take a picture. How often do they poop?

I have a 29 gallon fresh water tank( I use Prime water treatment) with some tetra's and 3 small red, white and blue ones. One of the red white and blue one has a big belly and kind of float's. I've read you can use a Epsom salt bath? Can anyone help me fix my fish?

I leave the light on for about 7-8 hours a day

green stuff I don't need to do a water change every other day til it clears up? Just go back to once a week?

Hello, I have a 29 gallon fresh water tank stocked with 4 black skirt tetra's, 2 other tetras and 2 small red, white and blue ones. Plus a crap load of snails. I usually do a 30% water changes ever 2 weeks ( I know I should do it once a week). I use Prime. I keep the temp at 76. I was told to...

I bought one snail about 3 years ago from my local PetSmart store. They said their snails are sterile ( yeah right). Next thing I know I have a bunch of tiny baby snails. The main snail dies and I continue to this day getting new snails. I've picked out by hand over a thousand snails! I've heard...

One of my fish died today. The one I thought I saw spots on. I told him out and there were no spots on him. He is dark red with a black tail.

The instruction for the filter said to have the water level almost touching the down spout. Is this correct ? I did a pwc every other day and dosing the tank with the maximum amount of prime for 2 weeks. Dose that not detoxify the ammonia? I only swish the filters in the bucket of the water...

I first got my tank on December 27th 2015 ( uneducated on aquarium). Fish in cycling ( again didn't know what I was doing) 29g Petsmart Topfin brand tank kit Topfin hob water pump with 2 filters Prime water conditioner Level's are: PH- 8.2 ( Tap water is high ) Ammonia- .25 ( can never get it...

I believe Topfin is a Petsmart branded item. After I do the wc will it be safe to replace the fish ? I bought a fish tank kit so the lid only has a space for the one filter. If I remove the lid ( which as the LED lights in it ) is it OK to not have a lid, but then I would have to buy a light...
