Also I have an air stone and condition the water everytime before i put it in the tank.

I gravel vac my tank once a week, faithfully. I keep the water at 78 degrees. I have lost 2 neon tetras, dwarf gourami, and zebra cory cat. The last 2 days the fish seem to be a lot better, although one of the neons has a white spot behind his eye, not an ick spot more like a hole but he eats...

the dwarf guarami died last night. i did another %50 change today and the other fish don't seem to be going up for air like they did last night. they are still moving their mouths rapidly though. all my tests are perfect....i don't understand. don't know if i should medicate them, if so with and...

15 gallon tank, went through a full cycle in March, 3 guppies, 1 guarami, was 6 now 4 neon tetras, 1 drawf albino pleco. I haven't had a single problem since the cycle.

My fish are coming to the top of the water for air and their mouths are moving really fast like they are gasping and I don't know why!! All my water tests are fine, I even took a sample into the LFS to make sure and their test was perfect also. My water is cloudy and I don't know what to do...

thanks...i have given her direct feeding doses and i vac my tank every week so it's very clean and a little too much food will be ok until i get home. i'll vac it the day i get home. thanks for letting me know about the light, a little worried about that.

I am going on vacation in a couple days and I was wondering if my fish will be ok without the light on? i will be gone 5 days and my aunt is going to feed my fish once a day and get my mail but would it be better for me to keep the light on or off? i usually turn it on in the late morning and...

I did a 50% water change this morning as soon as I noticed it. Should I do another? ammonia 0 nitrite 2.0 nitrate 0.

So I think I got some bad advice at the lfs yesterday. I have a 15 gallon tank. 6 neon tetras, 2 guppies and a leopard cory. I went to buy a gravel vac and was talking to the woman who works there. When she asked me about aquarium salt and i told her i'd never used it she was shocked and told me...

It looks like a tree stump. anyways, it already has green stuff starting to grow on it....is that algae? there is a ship i put in it a couple days ago and it also has green stuff on the top. if it is how do i get rid of it? i don't see any on the glass or...
