Got some dry rock anyone know what this is.

Ok thanks I'll do it fishless

Hey all, I'll be setting up an 80 Gallon tank on Christmas day when I get the rest of my supplies. I got a bottle of Fritzyme 9 and I am wondering how many fish and what type should I be tossing in with the tank cycle for the ammonia. My first assumption is getting atleast one clown which I...

Hey all, I am start to get this wierd type of solid algae on my hair grass. Any best practices tog get rid of it?

That's what they are I confirmed with a fish store via Facebook. If anyone has ideas what I should do. I have Discus, Corey's, Clown Loaches, Cardinal Tetras, Mixed Dwarf Shrimp, Harlequins Rasboras and Autocats. My tank is CO2 setup with hairgrass and 3 amazon swords. Other then that pretty...

Found these in my fish tank, currently am in process of moving it then found these. What the heck are they should I be worried?

Sorry not ignoring lol I kinda read it and knew what you meant. But now that you mention it they actually aren't picking on that one at all. They are actually all bugging each other except for that guy oddly.

So I didn't mention that the reason I am concerned is the others bellys only bloat because I've fed them. I don't really think it's a worm thing unless you mean the one I was concerned about with the Indented belly in the picture. After the night the others bellys are back to normal.

So it's safe to just get that deworm and use it in my whole tank?

I have 6 discus and this specific one is actually a bit bigger than the others but it seems as though it's belly may be sunken in. Its not as vigorous as the others and it eats but not nearly as crazy or fast as the others. Definitely about a 1/2-1 inch bigger then the others not sure what other...

I have this wierd growth or decay on my plants. Now before the questions start rolling I'll answer what I can about my setup. Its an 80 Gallon Rimless no lid aquarium. I have a CO2 setup with an actuator that will shut the CO2 off when the pH starts getting too low. Around 6.6. The substrate...

Just wondering if after you have an established tank if anyone still continues to use live bacteria after a water change, equivalent to the water change along with their water conditioner.

Thanks for the info. I shall be patient. When do people generally do their first water change before they start going consistent?

So algae pellets or left overs from the others wouldn't suffice?
