Hello all, I'm a bit confused today. When I went to check on all my fish this morning when I woke up, I noticed my black mystery snail has begun to turn a more tan or yellow color around the edges of his shell and moving up. I did a littler research to see if this could be bad, but got mixed...

Thank you all for the help! Y'all have some great ideas. (Also I'm a she :D ) Here's a little info. Blackouts don't happen at my house very often at all (knock on wood). The only blackout we had was during severe weather and it only lasted for 2 minutes. The trip I'm taking will be no longer...

Hello all :D I have a question that may sound a little silly and obvious, but what should I do about my tanks when I go out of town? Next weekend my family and I are going on Holiday for the Valentine's Day weekend, so I'll be out of town from anywhere from 3-5 days. Currently I have two...

Hm. I think I'm gunna try the crushed up tropical flakes, and if they don't seem to be eating I'll search out other food methods possibly. I'm really hoping for as many of the frys to survive as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oh thank you so much for all the advice! This is my first "serious" tank af absolutely my first fish pregnancy so I'll take any and all advice I can get. I took your advice and moved the mamas into the tank with the heavily covered floor. By any chance, do you have any clue or know any...

Also a side note to this, the only reason I'm not using the same filter or the same filter material is because I'm using it for a tank housing two pregnant Platies. I was really worried about them not adjusting well to a new tank and causing them shock and problems in the pregnancy. So I was a...

Alright thank you. I siphoned the clear goo up earlier and it had bits of food attached, so I'm assuming, like someone above said, that it was more than likely caused by food and possibly new water. I'm going to monitor it for the next few days and see how it progresses. Thank you for your help...

Yes the tank was just set up Sunday. Half of the water in the tank was from the old tank they were all moved from, while the other half was treated water that was able to sit and mix overnight. Again, I apologize about the pictures, but they're all I could get. It's a clear "jellylike" slime...

I have not added any new driftwood, but all the decor in the tank is new. It's only been established since Sunday, so about three days now today. I was worried that this stuff could have been from some decor! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks! I was just thinking about trying to buy fry food today. There's a fish specialty store in my town and I think they'll have some nonliving food available. So I'm gunna go get some of that soon! Thank you for your help!! :D Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello All :wave:, I am new to the hobbyist fish world, but I am already loving it and ready to learn so much and expand. Like alot of people I've met, my fish love began about 6 months ago with a small fair fish. I was so excited to get this fish and immediately took to the internet. The...

Thanks so much for your advice, Laeris! I was so worried :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you for your quick reply, Nils. I'm sorry about the pictures being so low quality. It was hard to see. So if it is clear fungus 1) is that dangerous and 2) how would I go about getting rid of that or clearing it up? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello all, I am still mildly new to the hobbyist aquarium owner community, so I can really use all the help I can get! I was checking on my fish today and saw some strange "material" covering the bottom of my tank I'm not sure what this cloudy substance is on the bottom of my tank and I'm very...

Thank you for your reply, Darkfalcon. I have separated the two possible "mamas" into their own tanks away from all the boys in my main big tank, which I think is the safest option :)

Hello All, I purchased three Platies from my local pet store to house with my small male Betta about 4 weeks ago. All is well, and they are getting along splendidly, but the other day I noticed that the two female platies have been growing a little large around their abdomen. I did a bit of...
