@SaraB - Thank you Sara. Appreciate the guidance. @okapizebra Not really. All fishes are super active. Eating well. Swimming all around the tank. The tank is well kept. Good water parameters.

Hi, I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 adult guppies and few baby guppies only. I lost a fish last week - it lost colors, had a twisted back and had stopped eating. Today I noticed that 2 more fishes have twisted back. Any suggestions - if this is TB or any other disease? If TB, any suggestions...

Thanks for the suggestions. :) Will try blackout first and if that doesn’t work, UV filter.

I tried 8-10 hours and 5-6 hours. In both cases I get algae.

Thank you both for your guidance.

Hello All, Has anyone tried a UV filter? Is it worth the investment? Also, I have a 10g planted tank. What small size filter would someone recommend based on past experience? Thanks, SJ

Thank you ZxC for the quick response. I added a nerite snail 2 days ago and found another 2 free loader baby snails. Probably pond. Will get rid of them in a week once they help clean up some algea.

Hello All, I setup my planted aquarium about 2 weeks ago. When I planted the plants, they looked great for first few days, but for the past week, they look a dullish and brownish. Any suggestions? Is it too much light? - I got the plants from a fellow friend who has an established tank. -...

Thank you Autumnsky. Would they damage the plants - eat leaves or roots? I saw 2 more tiny babies today morning and took them out. Left the one bigger baby in the tank.
