Just had a question regarding safety, I use some extension cords with my hookup of my aquarium equipment as alot of people do I'm sure because it's so many different things we have to use, but my question is does anyone feel that the heater should be plugged directly into the outlet or are there...

I think I’m going to wait one more week and complete the 2 week treatment cycle before I do a water change since I’m seeing such an improvement already. Thanks for your help

Ok so just like the title suggests my two clown loaches got ich from a clownloach I ordered online which has died already. My clowns are pretty big and I've had them for quite a few years already, so I surely don't want to lose them. Longstory short I have been treating with aquarium salt and...

Hi I have a 55 gal bow which has tropical fish and 2 plecos one of which is floating upside down but alive. I’ve have them both for about a year now and they seemed to be ok. I’ve a bit puzzled because I’ve never seen a pleco with a swim bladder issue but have a feeling this may be the problem...

ok so i have a "Marineland" aquarium light on the top of my 55 gal bow and it's just not working anymore and i don't have a clue why. I have it hooked up to a timer but I've tried turning it on manual through the timer and on the light itself and neither works. Anyone have experience with...

It's been in the separate tank off and on and I think the salt may be helping.

I need some advice, my blue Gourami has a sizable sore on its left side near the gill. It's pinkish like it could've rubbed on a rock or piece of wood when the lights went out but not sure. So I put it in a small hospital tank (2.5 Gal), and added a flat teaspoon of aquarium salt... I'm not sure...

Hi all, just noticed a bit of unusual behavior by my 2 biggest silver dollars. They have been getting along fine since I added the 2nd one I got from my friend. They are in a 55 Gal bow with 2 smaller silver dollars and some other smaller semi-aggressives. I was away a couple of days and hadn't...

hello all, I believe there may be an issue with my red tailed shark, it doesn't seem to be growing much. I've had he/she for a couple of years since it was a little baby but he/she has only grown a little and not really fattening up like some of the ones I see in other people's aquariums. You...

Ok sounds like a plan, where can I get formalin?

No it's not raised.

Hi everyone, quick question and observation hope you can help. My son noticed a small red spot right near the gill of the fish which looks like it can be from where it rubbed on something(possibly when I mistakenly added a Gold gourami and he chased it all over the place until I removed it and...

Hi all, I have 2 blue gourami that have been tank mates for a little less than a year now, but the bigger one seems to be picking on the smaller one. The larger one chases the smaller one but the smaller one even quips back at the larger one on occasion. So my question is, should I leave them...

update they are still appearing to be ok, but not really going after the food... maybe i'll try some freeze dried bloodworms.

That's what I'm afraid of... It gets big and then it eats my small Cory's and etc. So I guess not a good idea
