    How difficult to double aquarium size?

    The only thing I would add is be VERY sure the tank hold water with no leaks. If it has been in use up until now and you have actually seen it running that is good. IF NOT I STONGLY recommend running it filled with the filter, somewhere you can easily drajn it if necesaary for several weeks as...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    I REALLY wish I was closer or that shipping was available I'd take all the Endlers you wanted rid of.

    Algae bloom

    DEFINITELY too much light. Algae blooms don't *usually* make a tank smelly. Is the water cloudy or green? What are the water parameters? What kind of filtration? What is your water change routine? What is in the tank for decor?

    Snail infestation

    Assassins don't grow that large, I've had MTS grow twice the size of my largest Assasin. Don't think I've ever had an Assasin over an inch long.

    Water levels

    The grey *fuzzy* stuff is probably biofilm and should eventually disappear on its own, how long has the wood been in there? If it looks/feels hairlike as opposed to jelly like it is an.algae and hand removal or scrubbing is probably your best bet

    Eggs attached to driftwood?

    *Think* it's just biofilm with *stuff* caught in it, not snail eggs

    Planted tank help

    Just an FYI I'm DEFINITELY not an expert but I'm pretty sure that's a Dalmation Molly, not platy.

    Gouramis and Platys

    The other factor might be how long this has been a **gourami only** tank

    Problems keeping fish alive

    Ok I am by no means an expert but I'll chime in. A 10g tank is hard to get going well simply because it is so small and if something starts to go wonky it happens fast. What percentage is your water change? I found a weekly 50% change or 2x25% changes really helped keep the water quality at its...

    what type of Cichlids are these?

    Dwarf frog or claw frog

    Well keep an eye on them. Dwarf frogs have EXTREMELY poor eye sight so the fact that they were following your Betta means either they thought his tail was food, or they ARE actually African Clawed Frogs who will try to eat anything they *think* will fit in their mouths. Apparently it's going...

    Dwarf frog or claw frog

    Well with the quarter for size comparison I may revise my original statement and go Dwarf Frogs. I'm sure ADFs can be small but I've never seen them *sold* that small. When you say *aggressive* qhat wxactly arw they doing?

    Dwarf frog or claw frog

    Going by colour & shape I'm very tempted to say African Clawed, but it's hard to say without something to compare it's size to

    Baby snail identification

    Probably not, I know mine ignore them. If you have friends with cichlids or Angels you give them the extras

    Activated Carbon

    This just popped up on one of my other fish groups So, just some information about water changes and why they are important. Large water changes should be normal for every fish keeper. Some random person came up with only doing 25% a week but for the average tank, this is not enough. While...

    Activated Carbon

    I wasn't suggesting you mistreated your fish and if that's how it came across I apologize[emoji3061] I have never noticed anything other than a *watery, maybe earthy* from my tanks, the more plants/driftwood in the tank as opposed to rocks & silk plants the more *earthy* the smell. My...

    Activated Carbon

    Your opinion. I've had tanks over 40 years and have seen trends/advise change ALOT in that time. When I started as a kid, you bought a tank, whatever fish appealed to you, whatever plants appealed to you, put if all together with tap water containing a chlorine removal product and *bing bang...

    Oscar Fish death with no explanation

    Water change/cleaning routine?? Tank "contents"- gravel, ornaments, filter.....??

    Activated Carbon

    Purigen is a better choice to clear up the water Smell shouldn't be bad if your water is being changed out as necessary-50% weekly. Tanks will always smell like tanks but unless you're sticking your face next to the water and inhaling deeply it shouldn't be THAT noticeable
