Hi I am not new to the hobby but have never actually bred apistos. At the end of March I setup a 36 gallon bowfront for my daughter. We used seeded material and plants from my tank. We slowly added some neon/cardinal tetras. After a while and much water testing I let her choose what the next...

Hi I added 2 angel fish a few days ago after a 14 day quarantine. All seemed perfect during those 2 weeks and for the first couple days in the main tank. Now one is perfectly fine the other is not doing well. It is vertical and is just resting on a leaf, at times it makes it closer to the...

Hi I have a feeling this is some leftover Java moss that possibly started to grow months after removing it. Just wanted confirmation

I “accidentally” got a 5 and 10 gallon last week from someone leaving the hobby. I felt terrible for the fish when I saw their living conditions. (4 cardinal tetras, 3 black neon tetras, 2 glow light(I think), 2 that look like glow lights but green) The water was filthy and smelled like...

I have had 2 banana plants in my 55 for a few months (not actually sure when I got them) all of a sudden after a water change a couple weeks ago one started to float a bit. It is still secured to the sand by a root or stem that grew on its own. I don’t want to disturb it or burry the tubers, I...

This morning I found 2 of my guppies not looking well. The one with the orange tail had that damage when I got him but seemed to be doing well, I actually thought it was dead this morning when I turned on the lights he was just lying on the bottom but soon started swimming a bit. Now is just...

So I had begun a fishless cycle on a 55g (getting back into the hobby). I came home Saturday to find my wife and kids trying to be nice and surprise me bought 3 guppies and a platy. I spoke with the store they refuse to allow me to return the fish. So looks like I’m doing a fish in cycle. I am...

I filled my new tank yesterday and began cycling. The glass is covered with tiny little bubbles. Is this normal? Thanks
