I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what condition this Gourami was suffering from. My friend had a blue paradise that one day suddenly had problems with buoyancy. It seemed to have trouble maintaining depth near the bottom or middle of the tank and it seemed to float sideways. The...

Ok I'm a really bad fish mom!! I read all the articles everyone posted previously and I got my fish moved last night but I did something terrible!! I am now officially one of "those people" that tempted fate. I moved the tank with the fish in it. I know I know, I shouldn't have. But I...

Well tonight I'm going to move my tank and fish to my new house. I'm kinda nervous, I really don't want anything to die on me!

Oh hey! Those are what I bought last week! I thought they were called flying foxes. Hopefully I'll start to notice a difference in the amount of algae in my tank. How big do these guys get?

I was just wondering how you encourage plants to grow on rocks and drift wood and such?

I have a flame and a honey gourami and they are really peaceful. Previously I had a blue dwarf gourami and he picked on everyone. I did realize that I may have to take the loach and plecostomus back once they get too big, but for now they're ok. I would eventually like to get a much bigger...

Alright so I'm a complete newbie. I've asked a few questions under other topics and I've realized that I need some help. Here's my set up. Currently I have a 10gallon tank, but I'll probably be moving up to a 20gallon. I started out with a few gourami's and now I'm completely addicted to...

Ok thanks everyone for the great advice! It looks like I've got quite a bit of learning to do. I'm going to go and check out some of the other topics on CO2, nutrients etc.

The plants that seem to be most affected is the mondo grass. My tank size is 10gallon (plan to move to a 20 gallon once I finish moving) I don't know exactly what kind of lights mine are but they were fairly expensive and specially made for plants (full spectrum lights). I don't inject CO2 but...

Awhile ago I bought a large piece of malaysian wood for my tank. I was going to use it to plant live plants in/around. It looked great initially but the next morning when I looked at the tank the water was really yellowy/orange from the wood leaching. I did soak the wood before putting it in...

I'm going to be moving soon and I was just wondering what would be the best way to transfer my tank and fish with minimal stress to the fish? My tank is a 10gallon with some live plants. I won't be moving all that far (20 minutes away). Any suggestions?

I bought my first pair of German blues yesterday and the male didn't even make it home. Poor guy. The female seems to be doing well...so far. They're such neat fish!

Hi Everyone! Ok so I'm a complete aquarium rookie but I'm doing my best. Anyhow I was just wondering what I could do to get rid of a really bad infestation of hair algae? it's all over my plants and rocks, it's just disgusting. I actually went in last weekend and "harvested" what I could but...
