We just got a pair of AI Prime lights for our freshwater tank. We have them configured identically but one light shows a warmer temp and the other is cooler. Tried changing the settings on the second one to match but it won’t get the same warmth. Even if I put them on manual and set the exact...

Wasn’t trying to breed anything but just saw some fry swimming around in the tank. Problem is, I don’t know what they are. Guppies or Zebra danios? There’s just two. Did the rest get eaten? The danios were attacking them, so I saved them into a net and floated them into a corner temporarily. I...

New tank cycling. Hardscape done. Added some stone and driftwood (after boiling and soaking). Added TSS+ to start cycle. Then today my hubby noticed these white particles moving on the surface of the driftwood. They're so tiny they look like bubbles or dust particles. But they move making small...

We got a new 20 gallon kit. Added Fluval Stratum, some Seiryu stone, and Malaysian driftwood. Am cycling the tank right now. Trying to think of some low tech plant ideas. I don't want to mess with CO2 or swapping out lights at this time. (We are doing that with our 33 Fluval Flex and already...

He’s been ok the past couple of days but today, he’s staying at the filter, breathing by surface. Looking a little strange. He didn’t reach for food floating at surface. I got him to move a bit. He looked like he was struggling to swim and went back to the corner of the tank by filter and even...

Brought home a dwarf gourami today. Didn't notice this until added him to the tank and he stopped hiding. Is this ich? About 3 or 4 spots on each side. He was in the tank for about an hour before we noticed and quarantined him. If it is ich, what treatment is recommended?

We setup a new 32G tank with gravel. Water pH was 7.2. When we added rocks (sold as "lace rock" from LFS), the pH shot up to 8.4. To verify the rock as the cause, I put a fresh cup of RO water and tested the water before and after adding a small piece of rock and confirmed the pH went up by...

What is this stuff and how can I get rid of it? It has spread to the rocks too. [emoji37]

We’re new to the planted tank area so we hope we’re doing this right. We got some moneywort from our LFS. There’s a hunch of thready things off the stems. They’re not white, more of a light green in color. Are these roots? (See pic). If so, how do we propagate these?

Hi. New member here. We started with a 3.5G and a 10G tank. Now addicted and adding a 32G tank to our home. Just set it up today to start cycling shortly. We have a betta in each of our other tanks which really restricts tankmates. For this new one we really want colorful species. We like...
