Hi, This is a question for my friend. She bought a house that came with an elaborate saltwater setup. They had no idea how to maintain the tanks and the people that they did hire to help ended up making things worse. The previous owner left no information on how to take care of the fish and...

Lol! Thanks Andy. Like I said, I took these fish in from work. They had 12 adults in a 10 gallon! I have other tanks but they're occupied. They are amazing parents and interesting to watch but until I can get a better setup for them, its not fair to them. I was just concerned about the males...

Thanks Andy. I am hoping to rehome the babies once they're old enough. Just not enough room for so many. Would separating the males and females be a good option? Sent from my XT925 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi, just wanted some advice. In a 29 gallon I have baby cichlids that are at the free swimming stage. Parents are being very protective. There are 4 other adults. My cousin is giving me a 16 gallon. Which should I move? The adults or the parents and babies? I realize that the 16 gallon is...

So I still need a filter... shoot! I don't have one right now and I was hoping to set it up tonight. I don't have a 5 or 10 g but my 29 is not being used so that's why I want to use that one.

Hi, I have a snail outbreak. They were supposed to be mystery snails but they look like ramhorns. They multiply like crazy! They clean plants amazingly well and I'm not comfortable with the idea of killing them. I actually like the snails so I was thinking of giving them their own tank. I...

I wasn't able to delete this post but I put another one with the pictures. Thanks for the advice though. I will see if I can find it.

Its a Marina tank... under 5 gallons but more than 2. She used to be in a heated 22 g so I have a heater (2-10 g) in there with her.

Hi, 1st... sorry for the double posting! Cell phones are a little difficult at times. It won't let me delete my previous threads which don't include the pics! Here goes with my problem... I have a female betta that seems ill. I have quarantined her & given her some Mela fix medication but...

Hi, I have a female betta that seems ill. I have quarantined her & given her some Mela fix medication but she seems to be getting worse. Her right side is ok but her left side is in rough shape! Her left eye seems to have a film over it causing it to look blurry & sunken in. She has red sores...

Thanks so much! It seems to be a planaria.

I recently discovered small worm-like creatures in my aquarium. They are tiny, pinkish and seem to crawl along the glass, rocks, pot and plants. I haven't seem them swim or attach themselves to the fish or snails. I would just like to know if they are harmful, and, if so, then how can I get...

No problem... that's what I thought.
