I did not notice it until after I had put them in the tank or I would not have added them.... Was reading through my post and realized I didn't mention that.

I have 6 silver hatchet fish. Started with 4 ( been fine for weeks now). Recently added 2 more a few days ago. When I got them home they were noticeably bigger than the 4 I currently had. the one had one white spot on each side fins...... Not specs all over and it wasn't fuzzy. The spots...

Thanks for help

Just got some hatchet fish (first fish in the tank after fishless cycle) and they seem to be doing real well. First time using frozen daphnia and they seem to go nuts for it. The current from the filter spread it around and they ate the majority of it but because of the current some little...

Wanted to get a pair of GBRs. Is it ok to get a pair from the same place( same lfs) Would assume there is a good chance they are siblings. New to everything and was unsure if fish hatched together is a bad thing to pair up if they do breed. Tried to look up info on the web and all the info...

Thanks ...... Yes I was showing dark purple nitrites for a while.

Been fishless cycling for a few weeks. Original dose was 4 ppm ammonia until it reached 0 then did it again and so on and so forth until it was 0the next day. Then I started checking nitrites to and continued with the ammonia. Yesterday both were 0 and dosed ammonia again just to verify...

Just started first tank and am beginning to cycle it (fishless). Just thought I would see how people liked it so far ... Think I am going to pick up a few more plants..... Also if anyone knows how long before the wood becomes less buoyant because I currently have 2 straws holding down the wood...

Thanks for responding.... About the plants... Will rinsing them and placing them back into the new cycling aquarium be ok. There are about 4 plants. .... Thanks again.

Getting very frustrated. New to aquariums and most likely did not do enough research / too much listening to LFS. Have a 20g high, penguin 150, fluval 200w. Filter ran for 48hours+, tank temp 79 degrees. At that point after speaking with the LFS i went to put in 3 red wag plattys and some...

Just started my first aquarium. 20h.. Everything is new .... The tank, the filter, the heater, gravel,etc. I put water conditioner in the water( amount based on instructions), let the filter run a little longer than 2 days and made sure the temp was right. Yesterday I bought the first fish...

Feel rather stupid with questions like this, but I'd rather be safe. Setting up a new 20h .... First time aquarium...... Rinsed the gravel really well in a bucket until water had no debris of any kind..... When I put it in the tank the top has some tiny gravel pieces on the top of the water. I...

Just starting up my first 20 gallon and have some driftwood I wood like to add from an old reptile tank I had. It has not been used in a setup for about 8 years. I have already started soaking it but was unsure if because it was in a reptile setup if it could be harmful. Any advice would be...
