Well, it turns out half these white dots are tiny bugs. They have jerky-type movements, and dont really seem to stop. They are all over my aquarium glass. They seem to also annoy the fish a bit. They are very, very small and white (most are circular) with fuzzy-type legs around them. Are these...

Since last week ive been seeing alot of tiny baby snails on the side of the aquarium. Like an idiot, rather than remove them i squished them with my finger to kill them (underwater). i must of killed like 10 of them. Now there is thread-like white slime on the surface of my water, and covering...

Thanks all for the replies. Just when i was getting excited to add plants this weekend i have to start over. Oh well. M.N

Bromeliads are a good choice. Although they dont like to be planted, but rather attached to cork bark or other backgrounds via tooth-picks. Creeping-fig is a plant that will take over your backwall also, and it looks great as a final result. Finally, i would recommend ferns for planting. Here...

Mom mom was cleaning the tv screen (which is next to the tank), and while doing so i think she got some into my aquarium's water. I know because there were some window cleaner spray ontop my filter. My tank is a brand new setup, and is still cycling. Am i going to have to redo this tank or is...

Same question. Im going for a vacation in eqypt for 3 weeks; is there hope for these blocks to cover that time? Or am i going to have to find someone to come into my house every week..

I have the same thing, and ive read its from my driftwood. (fungus). It looks like white stringy clouds or ghosts moving with the current. M.N

Really? 8O I thought that was only for SW aquariums. How many pieces? And how long do you leave it in.. Sorry for all the Q's. Thanks.

I cant find pure ammonia here (they have ingredients on the side), and my parents cant bring anything outside of their work (shes a chemist). Ive heard of fish food used as ammonia; will it work? How much do i add in a 20g high? Any particular brand? Specs: 20g high Whisper 20 100W heater...

Although im still a newb...you said, get more bio spira? Meaning you already used it? If so, your already done the cycle..

Dont those clown loaches get too large for 20 gallons? How much do you recomend? I heard they are schoolers... Thanks for the response.
