    Driftwood

    How do I get my driftwood water logged and settled on the bottom? I soaked it in the bathtub in bleach water and then soaked it again in plain tap water. It is too big to boil and all that. I have it in my 125 gal and it is floating....will it ever sink? do I need to place something heavy on...

    Oscar with troubling spot on head

    Is this of major concern? I just noticed it today and I have been having water quality issues (fungus or bacteria) of which I still haven't determined. The Oscar now has a spot on the top of his head above his eye. I am freaking out now, worried about my other fish. I have been doing...

    Z Force Ammonia from Do It Best

    Is anyone familiar with this brand of Ammonia? I made the mistake of buying WalMart's brand the first time and didn't notice the surfactants listed until it was too late. I'm rinsed and ready to go again, but don't want to make the same mistake.

    Saprolegnia???

    Anyone know if this is something to worry about? I believe it may be from over feeding and using an organic soil under my gravel substrate. Pictures included in the link to "creepy white stuff" http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f17/saprolegnia-190354.html

    Saprolegnia ???

    Creepy white stuff growing on bottom

    I unfortunately had to go away for a about 10 days. I did a 50% water change right before I left and had my husband feeding the fish while I was gone. When I came home the water was kind of nasty and there was this yucky white stuff growing all over the bottom and little pieces of it stuck to...

    RIP MOE the Bala Shark

    Unfortunately, my senegal bichir (now officially named Jaws) finally acted on his natural predatory instincts. Moe was the victim and although he got away with a damaged tail fin and I was able to remove him and put him in a different tank, Moe still died. I don't know if there was more damage...

    Planning to put three Bala Sharks in 125 gal tank. I have other fish already so I don't really want more than three because of their size. AqAdvisor suggests 5 minimum..... Is 3 company?

    Overfeeders Anonymous

    I admit I have probably been feeding my fish way too much for a while now. They used to be in little bitty tanks and so I could control my urge a little more. In a small tank the amount of food looks huge and they can find it easily....now in a big tank the same amount doesn't look so big and I...

    Beginning Cycle 125 Gal

    Hello all, I am very excited to be the proud owner of a 125 gal tank and am, of course anxious and inpatient. I am doing my best to hold back though and have found the tutorials about fishless cycling very helpful. I figured I would throw everything out there and see if anyone has insight...

    Hello from western KY :)

    Hi all! I am new as an aquarium hobbyist and have found myself in love with aquascapes. It all started with a little $5 sea monkey kit. I swore I would not be interested in maintaining an aquarium (my childhood experience with them was bad as my mother hated the family tank.) However, I...
