we lost our beloved little green spotted puffer, Verde, monday night. I was treating him for IPs and i guess they got to him to fast. Atleast i think thats what was wrong. I dont believe it was ich because there were no spots. He just had white stringy feces and he wasnt eating his favorite...

so every morning when i wake up i go and turn on the lights on my GSPs tank. This morning I woke up and did the same thing, except i slept in so i was about half an hour late.

so we picked up a bucket of instant ocean today. just need some clarification on how to calculate how much salt to start off with etc. 1. i've read on badmanstropical website to use 1-2tbsp per gallon. and i know i should start it off so it reads 1.002 on the hydrometer. My hydrometer...

I have a friend who just bought a 100gal salt water setup. she wants to do a tank like the tank in Finding Nemo. I told her it wasn't possible. She said she looked it up and said that it would be fine. I am no expert on saltwater fish and tanks but I think shes in for it if she actually...

i wasnt sure where to put this, but weve been having some issues with my tank after buying a new bottle of prime. all the parameters in the tank were perfect friday, we did a water change saturday morning and after that we noticed our puffer wasnt doing to good. we tested the water and the...

so after moving my green spotted puffer to his 30gal tank, we were staring at an empty 20gal on our bedroom dresser. I went out and bought some fish. (I know it seems like alot to add at once, but they were all in the same tank and my lfs) I got: 6 zebra danios 6 glowlight tetras 5 neons ( i...

one of my female dalmation mollies are acting odd. she swims normally, but as soon as she "stops" swimming she goes vertical, with her head up almost flipped backwards. i thought maybe swim bladder, i'm not sure though. i haven't tried feeding her since i noticed. and it looks like she has...

I've lost my favorite fish and now my tank just seems blah. I lost my dragon goby to ich (i thought it was gone but he 2 spots on the fins that he clings to things with) and my bumble bee gobies are gone too. The two swordtails that I had left are gone too. This is what I have left: 10...

Ok, this morning I woke up to my boyfriend saying that he thinks we're going to lose our dragon goby. He just seems kind of lifeless. He's still breathing. He has a dimminished appetite. (We gave him some brine shrimp and he didnt go for it like he normally would). He was sitting in a...

i was just watching my tank to find my female guppy, the only one to seem to have gotten prego, missing a large piece of her fin (the one on her back) she swimming kind of weird to i'm assuming because of her fin and her spine is arched down. here's a couple pics, they're kind of blurry though...

I've been trying to figure out if the tank I have for my green spotted puffer is big enough. Some people say yes, and some say no. Right now what I have for him is 36lx13wx16h the guy we bought it from said its a 25 gal, but the calculator i looked at said it was like a 33 or something. so...

So after 2 weeks in QT, I've added my 3 kuhli loaches to my 55gal. They are so cute. I wasn't able to get a good pic of them. They just like a blur in all the pics. But they are the striped ones. The lfs i got them at said they were "black striped kuhli loaches``. i`m hoping to pick up a few...

We've completed the move for our fish from the 20gal to a new 55. All the decor went into the 55 along with the filter from the 20. Here are the results. Sorry it's kind of dark, it seems the only time I get the BGK out is when almost all the lights are out in the house. i'll try to get...
