My girlfriend has a viel tail betta and is worried its sick and is going to die. She said that it hasn't really eaten in a week due to the opening she uses to feed him is clogged with food. She also told me that he is a little grey/white around his gills. Does anyone know if this is common or...

So my LFS is having a sale and I'll be able to get two Marineland 150B Penguin Bio-Wheel filters for $29.99. They are rated for 30G apiece and have a GPH rate of 150. Would both of these filters be okay for my 55G? At least until I can afford to upgrade the filtration. The 55 will be stocked...

I just bought a 55G tank and in a few months (after I get a 75G tank) I plan on using it for a cichlid tank. What other cichlids would do well in a 55G with a mated pair of convicts?

So I bought a new 55G tank yesterday. Complete setup for $60. After I change the substrate, and replace the filter (only had a 20G filter on it) I want to set it up as a SA/CA cichlid tank. But before I do that, I was planning on using it to hold my 3 Yo Yo Loaches, rts, common and clown...

I just got these fish with a free fish tank. Does anyone know what type of cichlid these are? Sorry for the bad picture, it's the best I could get at the moment.

I got a few free tanks today and one of them came with an angel with massive fin rot. What can I do to help him get better? Any specific meds I should give him, or should I house him in my qt tank for a while so he can get better? He his housed with about 15 other cichlids (still trying to...

So today I received three new fish tanks, all for free! I got two 10G's and a 20G. The 20G has about 15 cichlids (still trying to identify them), an angel, and a common pleco. Everything that could be wrong with a tank, is wrong with this tank. The filter stopped working so I had to take one...

Does anyone have any experience with Butterfly Loaches? I've been researching them for my 55G. I plan to use them instead of my clown pleco and keep him in my 10G for now. Are they easy to take care of? Any problems with them?

It's time for me to start setting up my Haunted tank. It's a 10G with the HOB filter that came with the kit (will upgrade the filter after 55 and 5.5 gallon tanks are set up). I was planning on stocking it with: 2-3 Glass Catfish 4 Glass fish 4 X-Ray Tetra's 5-7 Ghost Shrimp Will this be...

I've had my eye on this betta at Petsmart for the past couple weeks and I think today is the day to get him. But I would also like some Clown Loachs or Yo Yo Loachs. Would I have any issues putting a Crowntail Betta and 2 or 3 Loachs and a Clown Pleco in a 10G? The Loachs I plan to get are...

So I have this empty 10G tank in my room. I was going to set it up as a small community tank but I've decided to keep shrimp instead. I was wondering how many shrimp I could safely put into a 10G tank? I would also like to put a Crowntail Betta in there as well, will this be safe with the...

Hey. I started to do my weekly cleaning of my tank and noticed some white spots on my BKG. I believe its ich. I've treated for ich before, but never with a scaleless fish. I was wondering, can I use the same type of ich medication or do I need to buy a special type of ich medication? If I...

All of my fish have suddenly become aggressive today. They've all lived together for about 3 months and I have never had any problems, but I woke up this morning and they are all being very aggressive towards each other. They are especially picking on my clown loach. My clown pleco seems to...

Hey. It's about time to get a new tank. As with any decision I make regarding fish I check here first as well as research other sources before making a decision. I'm looking at getting a 40-90 tall Gallon tank that will be highly planted. My black ghost knife and rainbow shark are both going...

It's still a few months away but I plan on getting a 180g tank and was wondering about what to stock it with, filter types, etc. I'm looking to pretty much DIY the whole way (as in buy the best stuff I can afford for it, my DIY tank is still a year or so away). As to the stock, I'm looking to...

Hey everyone. Does anyone know of any good LFS in the Dayton - Columbus area of Ohio? I already know of Jack's and PetSmart. I'm just looking to shop around for another tank.

I have a 10G tank with 1 Plecostomus, 1 Rainbow Shark and a Black Ghost Knife. The Black Ghost Knife and Rainbow Shark are a blast to watch, they are always swimming around each other and they like to play in the bubbles. I would like my tank to be a little more active, and I'm thinking about...

My first question is about my bubble wand. Ever since I got it yesterday it's been making a lot of bubbles at the top of my tank and they won't go away. I turn off the airpump and the bubbles soon disappear. What could be causing this? I've checked for pollutants but still can't figure out why...

I finally decided to keep some fish after about 10 years. I used to have a 180 gallon tank full of various freshwater fish, but I was young and never really had to take care of it (my parents did most of it). Ever since then I have had fish on and off. I recently bought a 10 gallon tank and...
