Ok, thanks. I'll start with the water changes now. The water parameters may be just a little off from normal. Two days ago, my brother was feeding them and accidentally dropped way too many flakes in the tank. Yeah my dad came home with him and I got worried. The people at Petco (never...

1. Platy. Looks like a thin fuzzy layer of white ontop of her head. Otherwise, acting completely normal. 2. Ammonia- .3 ppm. Nitrites- 1 ppm Nitrates- 80 ppm Temperature- 76 F PH- 6 Everything is a little out of whack. 3. 29 gallons. Set up 8 months. 4. Top Fin 30. I don't have...

My platy, Sir Yellow Bellyious, has a white spot ontop of her head. It isn't spreading to any of the other fish and she doesn't really look like the pictures of Ich I've seen. We haven't added any more fish into the tank since probably november/december. I got some pictures, it's kind of hard...

I finally spotted him. We saw my giant pleco burrowing under the sunken ship and when I picked the ship up, both the pleco and bumble bee goby were under there. He immediately zipped around the tank at lightning speed and finally settled in the plants.

Mine had somehow squirmed into a extremely narrow passageway in my sunken ship. I've only seen him once since we brought him home.

Yep, thats him. The day after we brought him home, we thought he jumped out of the tank and disappeared. After looking for him for a while, we picked up the sunken ship ornament and he somehow squirmed into a tiny, tiny little tunnel in the plastic. He is quite the little hider. I'll have to...

Ok, that explains a lot. He's pretty small right now, maybe only an inch long. How small are the fish they eat? The pet shop said they were community fish and would be fine with my other fish. I have a few varieties of tetras, are they at risk?

About a week ago, we added (I'm pretty sure it's called) a bumble bee catfish to our 29 gallon. I've only seen him swim around once since we got him, and that was at night and only for a second to get some food. He's constantly hiding underneath some of the ornaments, I know he's alive...

Wow, thanks! I thought it sounded a little odd.

We just got some anacharis for our tank. They said to let if float at the top of the tank because if you put it into the substrate it will die. Is that true? It looks kind of weird just floating at the top and it's all hanging around the filter because of the current. The fish seem afraid of...

We did notice her a little bloated, but it hasn't really decreased much. We've had the platy since the end of August. I don't know if the baby has been around for a while, we just noticed him while looking at the new fish we bought last night that was hiding in the sunken ship. Then we...

We just added some new fish to the tank, but I now noticed there is one very tiny baby fish hiding around the sunken ship. I have absolutely no idea what fish it came from, whether it's been there or came with the new fish today. A few weeks ago, we found this by our plants. We thought it was...

I checked around the tank, no fish I can see. I guess it's just a mystery, then. This morning, I checked on the Molly and he is completely back to normal. The water change helped a lot. We also took out the plants temporarily because they were starting to grow something on them. We'll go...

We did the 50% water change today. Now we have a problem. One of the hatchet fish is missing, the one that was acting strange. Nowhere to be found. I noticed I couldn't find him a few days ago, but he never emerged. I checked underneat all of the ornaments and gravel and in the filter, but...

Thanks. We will do the 50% water change tomorrow. I just checked the heater, it's set at 77 degrees, but the thermometer is at 80 right now. I don't know how good this thermometer is, I'll probably end up buying a new one soon. The tank has been set up for about a month and a half. The...
