Put something soft under the actual air pump, I find it helps the most with dampening the noise.

I don't know if this goes with most guppies but when I had only 4 females in my 10g planted tank they got very territorial and aggressive towards each other. Upon further reading I found even females can get aggressive when there is no male present. When I introduced a 2 males the...

Very very good food for livebearer fry.

When i got my 7 amano's they were quite timid for about 2 weeks, now they are exploring all around my tank, give them time. Another reason may be because they are very social shrimp, they will be quite timid in smaller numbers, especially when there are fish swimming around.

After a recent water change, I found what appears to be egg sacs on the aquarium glass. very small and transparent. I'd quickly come to the conclusion that they are apple snail eggs but they were below the water line, quite close to the substrate actually. Only other explanation I can think of...

Yes she's eating normally. I'm using an api vial test and a 7 in one quick dip strip test.

no other fish is exhibiting any symptoms.

10g planted tank ammonia - 0 ppm nitrates - 20 ppm nitrite - 0 ppm gh - 200 ppm kh - 130 ppm ph - 8 ppm

Proud to say, my guppies are pregnant, but one of the guppies is showing signs of ammonia poisoning *red gills. Strange thing is, none of the other pregnant guppies have red gills, and both of my ammonia tests (strips and vial) show ammonia at a 0. I'm quite worried as i'm new to the hobby and...

10 gallon tank 4 Guppies 3 Black Mollies 2 Chinese algae eaters. I know its overstocked but my ammonia is still climbing, I did a fishless cycle by the book, but a few days after i got my mollies my ammonia started to spike is there any way i can get it to go down? Will i have to get rid of the...

Did a fishless cycle with a peice of shrimp. everything by the book. Is it good to do water changes with meds in the tank? will it reduce its effectiveness? Yea i figured it was, Probably gonna give away the guppies to make room for the mollies and CAE's.

Hi new to the hobby and need some help. I recently started my tank, already cycled and everything. Ammonia and Nitrites were at a 0 and it was perfectly fine. I just got a trio of black mollies and they have developed what i beleive is columnaris, been treating them with maracyde and pimafix...
