Posting in general because I'm not sure where this would go... See pictures below I put a small piece of driftwood in my 30 gallon about a month and a half ago and within a few days of putting it in the tank this white fungus like stuff started forming on it. I am aware that this can happen...

I am having an issue with my Aqua clear 50. It is only a year or so old and has worked perfectly for months, and just in the last week I have noticed that the output is less than what it should be. The filter is set to max, the flow coming out of the filter is less than if it were set at the...

Guys I checked my fish out and his tail is about to fall off. I don't know what the heck happened. There aren't any aggressive tank mates. I'm suspecting bacteria... What should I do for this little guy?

Just going to jump right in to it. What is an appropriately sized tank for 6 adult yoyo loaches? I currently have 6 juveniles, the largest being about 2" and the smallest perhaps 1 1/2". They're growing much faster than I was expected them to (thanks a lot, stupid high quality and live foods...

Long story short, I have used root tabs for the first time. I only used one and buried it in the sand right at the root of my crypt. That was a couple of days ago. Now I've observed that the water is noticeably cloudy and, for what it's worth, one of my yoyo loaches seems to not be moving. When...

So I picked up 3 thorny nerite snails (basically small nerites with a couple of spiked growing out of their shells) and they've been in my 10 gallon for about a week now. I haven't noticed any improvement in any of the soft algae growing on the glass. Is there a difference in the effectiveness...

I was very excited to pick up some yoyo botia for my planted 30 gallon, and finally got them yesterday. I didn't really get to take a close look at them until today and I've noticed that two of them are missing eyes and one of them has no eyes at all. I can still see the socket so there were...

Can a Crypt do well in a 10gal? I have a ten gallon tank that I was setting up for my cory cats and CPD (9 fish in total). I had already planned on putting plants and cuttings from my main tank in there as well. I was watching my CPD today for the first time in ages and it seems like they...

I had seven healthy rummynose tetra, and now I have five remaining with on it's way out. One by one, they seem to be wasting away. I treated with prazipro for the recommended amount of time and then vacuumed the daylight out of the gravel during a water change, so I thought I might have been...

I'm switching from a gravel substrate to a sand substrate and have a question about transplanting crypts. I know that they're a delicate plant and that their leaves can and will melt if they are not happy. What is the best way of transplanting a crypt to avoid this happening? Taking the crypt...

I posted it to the sticky but thought I'd make a thread too. Just a quick copy and paste... I accidentally tapped the checkmark at the top of one of the sub forums and now I can't seem to unfollow it. I go and tap it so the check is no longer filled in and for about five minutes I stop getting...

I think I have a cpd full of eggs but don't want to count my eggs before they've hatched, so to speak. Is there anyone who has successfully bred cpd fish that would be able to tell me if I have an egg filled fish or if she's just eating too much? All the cpd I have are small and slender as...

I have a small school of 7 RummyNose tetras in a 30 gallon planted tank. Six of them are fat and healthy, one doesn't look so. He's skinny and looks like he hasn't eaten in days and tends to stay near the bottom of the tank away from the other tetras. Every once in a while he will join them, but...

I have four false julii cory cats that I've recently isolated in a 5.5 gallon tank, which will be temporary. There is no substrate or plants, and only some decorations. The reason for isolation is threefold: 1) all cats have lost their whisker. I've had them since about October of last year and...

TL;DR at the bottom. I have a moderately planted 30 gallon with an aquaclear 50 filter, a heater, a bubbler, and a homemade double light. The plants have so far been doing well, growing so quickly that I am cutting them back almost weekly now. The tank is dosed daily with seachem excel...
