Thank you. Do you think I can use my tank syphon and syphon it out while I do a water change? Or should I not? I have other tanks that I don’t want this to spread to that I use the same syphon on.

How would you recommend going about that? I superglued plants onto the wood and I don’t want to loose a ton of money because of them dying when I take the wood out. I was looking at it some people say it looks like black beard alage. Do you think I should get some shrimp or a Siamese alage eater...

There is some fluffy black stuff growing on my wood. I’ve never had this happen before and just noticed it. I boiled my wood when I got it as well. It has been in my tank for weeks now. The only new thing that has happened was that I added aquarium substrate. Help someone?

Hi, I got a few new guppies to add to my guppy tank. All the others seem to be fine but this one has been kind of lethargic and not eating/breathing fast. It seems to have some red dots on its mouth and it’s fin. Does anyone have experience with this?

Yeah the tank has been cycled for about 2 months at least and the guppies have been there for at least a month. I just tested the water and the water showed it was fine. The only thing I changed was adding the betta that seemed to be friendly when I was around but when I wasn’t watching might’ve...

I wouldn’t recommend keeping the Cory in a 10 gallon, they do good in groups so you would need multiple and articles suggest that 20 gallons is good for a group of them. However you can keep probably up to 9 guppies in a 10 gallon. I would try to stick to more around 6-8 of them to prevent the...

Yeah. Sadly this morning I saw another guppy with the same issue but the betta was also very close to it and seemed to be super interested in it. I just took a chance and I’m hoping the betta was being aggressive and it’s not an internal disease. I separated the female and have to go get her a...

I have a 29 gal with 7, now 6 guppies and a female betta. I hadn’t noticed anything until around 4 PM today and a guppy was at the bottom of the tank, stressed out, breathing heavily but I didn’t see anything on him that would indicate a disease. All my others seem fine but like I said that one...

Yeah I’m sure it would help with that but there’s a ton of little eggs or bugs that I can’t seem to figure out what they are. I have another tank that’s going really good right now so I could restart it and quickly set it up with water from my other tank.

Okay thank you!

Okay thank you! I ordered the aquarium salt last night and it’s coming today so I’ll try that first and if they’re still there I’ll get an assassin snail. I think I might just restart my tank and prevent it by dipping everything in aquarium salt when u buy stuff.

Okay. And that’s to prevent it correct?

Okay. I ordered aquarium salt last night. Should I just take everything out in the tank and put it in aquarium salt? (Except the fish of course).

Okay thank you I’ll look them up.

I’m fairly new to this planted tank stuff, I’ve had my tank for about a year but the past few months I’ve switched over to live plants. Today I noticed these really small brown bugs that kind of hop around on the glass and then these clear snail like things. Both are really small, does anyone...

I just watched a video and looked up some stuff on what others said. The main one I heard of was a bleach solution (it was mixed with something else) and the other one was adding aquarium salt with water. (Of course both would be in a bucket and would be rinsed off after). Have you tried the...

Someone mentioned in the planted tank forums under the same post that they recommended assassin snails. However I haven’t heard about the stuff to dip plants in, I’ll try to find it online somewhere. Thank you

You can get small and fast schooling fish for the tank. Always put the bettas in last and at the same time. You can make hides but just putting rocks together, you can also buy some hides from fish stores or buy terracotta pots. Any plants work as well, live plants work best. You can do research...

That’s okay. I can move my gold Inca to another tank. Will the assassin snail eat the eggs too or no?

Hi! I got some live plants a while ago but just today I noticed some snails and something else at the bottom of the tank. (Previous to seeing these I only own one Gold Inca Snail). Anyways today I saw some clear and very small snails in the tank. The biggest one I saw had a curved shell I...

Definitely make sure there is a lot of hiding spaces and test the betta fish by other bettas before buying it. If it reacts badly keep trying others until they could care less about other bettas. I wouldn’t recommend the mollies, they can get big and are quite nippy, they can easily stress out...

Yeah thank you. I ended up giving them to a local fish store.
