I have bright white spots on my glass and plants. They are decent sized, and arent part of the plants, but on top of them. They are also on top of the glass (inside). They are about the size of my gourami's eye to give you a realistic size. And are actually about the same size. What the...

I am selling this on eBay, but if someone local wants to make me an offer, I would be more than willing to sell to them because of how much this forum has helped my setup...

My wife is allowed to have a small vase on her desk if she wants to at work. She has been asking for a betta fish. She can't have an aquarium there (with filter, lights, etc), so I was curious if there was a way I could use a vase without it being inhumane. Here is what I am thinking- A Vase...

So I am battling internal parasites. I am squirting this in the water everytime I feed them (as per instructions). http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=31254;category_id=2233 Will this kill my inverts? Copper is not a listed ingredient..... Thanks in advance, Andy

It started on my gourami, and I thought it was just a regular poop, just stringy, now my molly has it. Looked in my book, and the only one with that symptom is hole in head (only thought oscars got it.. but guess not). They both have stringy white poop that wont leave. Gourami- for 1 day...

I had 3 clams in my tank, and 2 died, so I was trying to find the 3rd under the sand and couldnt find him for the life of me! I literally dug every surface of that sand with my fingers everywhere he could be within a 1 foot radius! Is it possible he died and disolved. My nitrite levels went up...

I have 2 snails, 4 clams, and about 15 shrimp. One of my mollies has popeye. Can I put melafix in the tank with the inverts? Just wanted to check (also, I have live plants) Thanks in advance, Andy

I have a 30 gallon, with the eclipse hood (2 24" T8 Lights). The hood says I can use any T8 bulb 18 watts or under. Right now, I have 2 18 watt lights, but they are old and need replaced. I have made my own moonlights, and have them on for 13 hrs (timer). I want to replace them with some...

Well, my plants finally came in. I now have a 30 gallon planted invert tank with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, Steady pH @ 7.8, and sand substrate. I got Several Anubias, couple of Crypts, couple of african ferns, some java ferns, and some hornwort. I also got my 2 olive nerite snails, who came...

Although these are in the higher range of what these fish can handle, according to FishProfiles, they can all sustain between 6-8pH (with the exception being a molley- 7.5-8.5pH) Molly (obviously will be just fine) Neon Tetras Cordys Gouramis Gouramis are sensitive to change, but the pH will...

If I have coral that has been out of the ocean for over a year, and outside in rain water (cured), as well as soaked indoors for 2 weeks with tap water, would it be ok to use in a freshwater aquarium? Would it raise the PH? Help appreciated, Thanks, Andy

For those who have had freshwater clams.... what were your experiences with them?

4 Mollies, 2 Dwarf Gouramis, 3 Corys, are all ok with inverts correct? However, will Barbus Pentazonas (6) be ok with inverts? They are shy barbs and even more friendly than cherrys, but I have a feeling they still might get hungry. I am trying to get a saltwater look (using fake coral, sand...

I have decided to switch 30 gallon tanks. It seems like it will be much better of an idea... Here are the differences- Current Hood- Old plastic one w/ 1 18watt light New Hood- Eclipse Hood w/ 2 18watt lights (and black! it matches) Current filter- Aquaclear 50 New filter- Eclipse hood w/...

If it was used for saltwater (with an eclipse hood/filter) and 30 gallon tank. Can that be used as a freshwater later on, or once you go salt, you dont go back? Thanks, Andy

I am getting a 30 gallon aquarium for free from a friend. I am going to pick it up on Wednesday/Thursday. It is COVERED in algae. Her exact words were "I haven't touched it in a year". In fact, she said other than feeding it, she just adds tap water........ So, with that being said, I am...

In my 30 gallon, I am going to have Dwarf Gouramis, Ottos, Cordys, and Barbus Pentazonas. I was going to have about 4 mollies (with their like of salt), and the ottos (and their dislike of salt), but I dont think that is a good match now. Is it OK? Or should I find an alternative (like Platys)
