Thank you guys for all that input, my phone is dying so I’m going to charge it and take better pictures of anything. Question tho, as far as cleaning the filter. I know about the filter media but should I clean the filter housing too? And how? Just wipe it down of gunk?

Thank you for responding, I have a 55 gallon tank, with a filter that hanging off the back with white filter media rings, charcoal, and some sponge. When I do water changes I siphon out the gravel and before the fish started dying they all showed signs off lethargy and uninterested in food...

Hey all, Been awhile since I’ve posted here but I’ve run into a bit of a problem. As of a few weeks ago my 55 gallon tank consisted of… 2 Angelfish 2 Younger Pictus Catfish 1 Adonis Pleco 6 Priscilla Tetras Starting about 3 weeks ago one of the Catfish died. A week after the other catfish...

I agree with the posts above. It’s very hard to tell the sex of angels but The angelfish appear to be two young because right now they both look female. As they get older the males tend to round out more with a huge bulge of a forehead.

Okay I will! Thank you for the fast reply! I’ll keep you posted!

Hello everyone, I noticed this before I left for work tonight. I look at my fish tank all the time and just saw this. Are these eggs? A form of algae or just a mean lookin poop. I have 2 angelfish 7 Golden Priscella Tetras 1 Adonis Pleco 1 Pictus Catfish Can I scoop it out or are they eggs...

Well, about 5 hours ago I bought a new tank put the beta in there and dosed it with Mela and Pimafix.. probably just killing him then huh smh. Also all the fish have been living together pretty peacefully for the past 6 months.

Okay i will do this when I get home! I have an extra tank I’ll set up as a hospital tank. As far as what’s with him I have 5 Nerite snakes, 2 angelfish, 5 golden tetras, 1 pictus catfish and a Adonis pleco. Would Melafix and Pimafix be an option too? Set up a hospital tank and use those in it?

I just left for work so if it’s alive in the morning I’ll take a closer look. Can I treat the whole tank or would I need to take him out?

Hey all, the past 4-5 days I noticed my Betta fish got really bloated to where I’m surprised he didn’t pop. Day 1, 2 and 3 he was fine. Still swimming around I went from feeding twice a day to once a day and even gave him some peas on day 3 or 4. Now, it’s the 5th day and he’s spent all day in...

By vac’ing do you mean vacuuming. Yeah I have ):

Hello! The tanks been set up for probably close to 6 months now. I’ve never changed the substrate and I don’t have filter pads I have those ceramic bio rings and some sponge that I rinse off when I do water changes. I have not gotten a new filter or new fish. I can’t take pictures because the...

My fish tank has been getting cloudy a couple days after I would do a water change. I’ve been noticing this consistently stringy algae that is tangled all throughout the rocks and is hard to vacuum out. Is there any kind of algae remover for that? Is it possible to shovel out all my rocks and...

I just bought 6 Nerite Snails. One of them hadn’t moved for 3-4 days and appeared to be open and wouldn’t close until I touched it and then it would SLOWLY close but not fully. So I went to return it and the fish store said it was still alive. I swapped it for another snail and now a week has...

This is mine

Good luck!! New tanks are fun. I’m about 4-5 months new to owning a tank. Finally worked out all the kinks. I have 1 Beta / 2 Angelfish / 7 Golden Tetras / an Adonis Pleco and a Silver Spotted Catfish w/ 5 snails. Just keep checking the water parameters and make sure the ammonia and nitrite...

Okay awesome!! How many would you recommend for a 55 gallons tank with 12 fish already in it?

HAHA That thanks comment is awesome! But okay thank you, I’ll try splitting the light up and see if that works!

Ah man that’s tough, you don’t want to lose the good bacteria that’s on the gravel but what I would do is trying to clean the gravel with diluted hydrogen peroxide or bleach. Scoop out the bulk of it soak it for a few minutes then rinse it thoroughly. Then put it back in, that way you don’t...

I’ve had the tank (55 gallons) tank for 2-3 months now. The algae started forming early this week so I vacuumed the gravel and flipped as much rock as I could and it’s still growing. Is this normal? How do I get rid of the green algae on the white rocks? PH: 7ish Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm...

I have a 55 gallon tank with an beta, 2 angel fish, 7 tetras, a pleco and the pictus. You think I could add one more?

The fish eats fine too!

I have a Pictus Catfish that keeps on swimming along the left side of the glass in a small circle. It seems like he hasn’t stopped over the past couple weeks since I got him. I’ve tried to move him to the other side of the tank and he swims away fine but then goes back to the left side of the...

OkY awesome, I’ll buy the tests and crushed coral tomorrow, can I mix it in with the rocks in my aquarium or just put them in a mesh bag in my filter, also Will to much crushed coral be harmful to the fish already in the tank. I have a 55 gallon tank
