I have a betta in a large vase, which until about a week ago had a plant suspended above it with the roots in the water for about the last year and a half. A few weeks ago it started having some sort of white specks floating on the surface. I thought it might have been some kind of mold growing...

I just bought a used 29gal tank, hood w/light and stand from someone on craigslist and the hood light doesn't work. ILO tracking down this woman and making her give me back part of the very reasonable price she charged me for the package (she did say that everything worked) I want to see if it...

I recently moved and upgraded from a 20gal to a 29. A day or so after the move my clown pleco went berserk and basically destroyed all of my Anubias Barteri plants that I've had for years. Should I cut off all of the damaged leaves right now or should I leave them on to do what they can to help...

Damage from my Clown Pleco after a move...he must have liked my old place better.

I'm about to move about 30 mins from where I am now. I plan on putting my fish (see sig.) in a 5 gal. bucket with a little substrate and a plant. Once I get to the new place I'll plug in my bubbler for the bucket until I get the tank set-up. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to...

I am considering either doing a major overhaul or upgrading to a larger tank and was wondering if it is possible to split the Anubias Barteri that have grown a few inches over the last couple years into multiple plants by cutting the base (I forget the correct term) in half, etc.

I have hundreds of these in my tank and was considering upgrading to a 29 gal and getting new substrate to try to get rid of them. Are they really that beneficial? I never noticed them cleaning up any algae. The shells don't vacuum up and after a while they make my black substrate look very...

I'm not sure what you mean. Yes, the pleco has always eaten the wafers in the past, if that's what you're asking. Sometimes it's gone the next day, sometimes it looks like he doesn't even touch it. I don't see the otos go for the leftover algae wafer - they pretty much just hang out in the...

I have a 3-4" Clown Pleco and 2 new and small Otos. I have put nickel-sized Hikari sinking algae wafers (usually a half wafer) in at night, every couple nights or so, for the pleco since I got him/her and he seems to be doing fine (year+). I just got the 2 Otos and while my tank glass is clean...

Hey ya'll! Man, it's been forever since I've posted so no one probably remembers me, but I've got a little situation. I live in a very small apartment with a correspondingly small kitchen. I've got 2 neons that I've had a for a couple years in my 5 gal corner tank on a small counter next to...

One of my Golden Wonder Killifish appeared to be developing fin rot about a week ago, so I began to treat the tank with a regular dose of Melafix. The fin rot didn't really improve and his behavior began to decline, so I began to assume he wouldn't make it. Now almost a week later, he looks...
