    Large brown on red eye tetra

    One of my red eye tetras has had a large brown spot on him for a while. Anyone know what it is? He seems to be acting fine other than the fact that he is about half the size of the others and I got them all at the same time.

    Backyard Koi Pond

    It will be in direct sunlight from about 6am-4pm so I think that it will require daily top offs. Our pool has to be topped off daily due to evaporation.

    Backyard Koi Pond

    The pond will be around 2000 gallons. I am extremely busy throughout the week and I don’t think that I have time to do this on a daily basis. I’m looking to make an ATO.

    Carbon removes chlorine? That’s good to know. Thanks

    Backyard Koi Pond

    I’m just about finished digging up the koi pond in my backyard and already know all the parts I need and am ready to buy them. I started thinking about how I’m going to fill the pond up when water evaporates throughout the day. Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally I want to make an auto top...

    My rope fish ate a red eye tetra

    I woke up this morning to this... My rope fish had a red eye tetra in his mouth. I have 7 red eyes and he got the smallest of the group. The only reason that I can think of as to why he would do this is that he isn’t getting enough food. I feed one cube of blood worms every other day and just...

    new/old pond project

    Hey goat... I’m looking to start my own pond, about 13’ x 7’ but can’t decide on what lining to get. I’ve seen good reviews on TotalPond pond liner however that’s PVC. The other option I’ve seen is Firestone EPDM. What would you suggest?

    Nitrates that won’t DIE !!

    NitrAtes are not bad for the tank at a minimal level. NitrItes on the other hand, are. If you have 20 nitrAtes you have nothing to worry about. Water changes and plants are the only ways to remove nitrAtes.

    Bacteria bloom or something else?

    I just did a water change about 20 minutes ago (I do one every Saturday). It seems about the same as before. All the fish have been doing fine (no gasping for air). I have a HOB filter and an air stone for surface agitation. Yesterday I added a rope fish because based off all of my research...

    Bacteria bloom or something else?

    I do about a 30% water change on both my tanks once a week. Should I do one every day just to try to get rid of it? Thanks for the feedback!

    The water still hasn’t cleared up but it doesn’t look quite as foggy.

    Bacteria bloom or something else?

    Hi all, my 55 falling aquarium has been up and running for about a month now, I used pre-filtered media from my other cycled 29 gallon tank to kickstart the cycle and current readings are 0-0-10. This weekend I added two pieces of cholla wood and after about 24 hours, the water became extremely...

    Honey gourami and dwarf gourami

    I’m interested in getting a honey gourami and a dwarf gourami for my 55 gallon tank, however, I read online that these two may fight. Both dwarf gourami’s and honey gourami’s are labeled as peaceful fish. Is this true? Will they fight?
