They are eating plenty. I stock my tank regularly with live blackworms. Which I see then dig out constantly. I hope it is nothing because they are My favorite tank inhabitants

I've got 3 kuhli's in my 15 gallon. I've had them over a year and half and they have been doing wonderful. They've always been very active and never seemed to have any problems. Well the last two days has been very odd. All three have been nonstop swimming all around the tank. Hardly stopping to...

So I'm currently dosing those two days twice a week. However taking advice from other people I may be switching you thrive for my ferts. Also looking into doing root tabs. The light is a LED strip from Amazon. I'm not entirely sure the output because I bought it cheap and they don't sell it on...

Hello everyone. Below is my 15 gallon planted tank. Inhabitants include 6 Harlequin Rasbora, 3 kuhli loaches, and 1 male betta. So far the plants have all been low tech but I've recently installed a Co2 system and want to start getting some nicer plants. Substrate is basic and and I've been...

My latest pretty boy

Well some unfortunate news. My boy died. Not sure there what the cause was but I hope it doesn't affect the rest of the tank. Thanks for the help

Over feeding is possible and likely because I've seen a rather large spike in MTS numbers. If I had quarantine tank I would certainly use it. However I don't have that equipment currently. Temp has held steady at 82. Would increasing the temp and adding salts to my current tank hurt my tetra or...

No. My LFS said that he might be constipated and suggested squishing a pea into the tank as it can act as a laxative. However that was two days ago and still haven't seen improvement.

Hey friends I need some advice on what to do for my betta. I recently went on vacation for a week. When I returned he's been literally just laying on the log, or substrate. Not swimming. Hardly even moves. When I do get him to come up is like he sinks like a rock right back to the bottom. He was...

I don't think I would only because I don't have a back up tank for the female if it didn't work out. That being said I would be open to trying it with this particular male. He hasn't shown any aggressiveness to any of his tank mates and generally seems pretty docile. I thin he would be a good...

I've had my male Dragonscale in with three loaches and five neons for almost a year with no problems. 15gallon tank with DW and plants. It can happen you just need to be aware of what you're adding and keep close watch for a while.

It could also be just his coloration changing. My boy didn't really have much blue or black when I got home but in his new happy environment (not a cup lol) his true colors start emerging. Hopefully you're will be just fine.

I've seen the general consensus being that clean water with frequent water changes should clear things up. I'm not sure what he has (if anything) but maybe start with the simplest solution then go from there.

You could also try just adding black worms or the like. Add a bunch of those and they'll bury themselves in the substrate. The fish will feed on the as they need to. So you won't over feed plus since its live food, it won't rot and mess up the water. I've done this before and haven't had to feed...

I've got five neons and three kuhli loaches in with my male in a 15 gallon. The neons can be nippy once in a. The loaches are great though. Very docile and they dig up the black worms that help feed the betta. He actually will hang out around them all the time. I would definitely recommend the...
