I have a bit of a problem in my tank. I had a happy thriving tank that was well populated. I had a couple of different Cichlids and Pleco. Everyone was happy, there was a lot of energy and color. I was thrilled. I had this pretty little blue cichlid that I bought from a mixed breed tank. I...

Hi All! Havent been on here in ages. Had a few things change in my tank. Went on a trip and didn't touch my tank for a couple of days. Didn't do a water change before I went, and the water was already about a week old. Came home to a dead pleco. A thriving Cichlid tank has been overrun by...

I have a few snails in my tank, black, blue, gold, and ivory mystery snails. They've all doubled in size which has been fun to watch. The tank seems all healthy, so I'm not doubting that its normal behavior. All of the snails will at random times make a ball of sand held together by their...

I've just built a large fish tank stand. I wish I would have catalogued it better, because it looks like a $300 stand, that only cost me around $30, but would cost anyone else around $120 if they didnt have stuff hanging around. If you want to know info send me a personal message! Anyway. I...

Hi All, Just wanting to hear around with what ways you acclimate your fish. When I first started my tank I would do the floating bag, and I ended up with about a 60% success rate after the first couple days. I did some research back then, and learned what the drip method is. I've since...

Hello all. I have 2 peacock cichlids, and two kenyi cichlids, a pleco, a rainbow shark, and a kuhli loach. The water is crystal clear, and there's no significant algea growth... however, every time I feel them there's always food that makes its way down to the sediment, and it builds up over...

He literally lays there all day. He'll laying against the building in an upright position, then he'll sneak through the little hole when something interests him, just to make a lap around the tank and head back to lay back down. He had another cave a few months ago that I've since taken out of...

Hello all. I haven't posted much to this. I've been relying on other answers to help me out. I've been realizing lately though that my tank hasnt been as active as it was before. To make a long story short, the tank was originally in the living room, then was moved to another room for...

I have a functioning ten gallon tank. I was given a 20 gallon yesterday by my cousin. It's only a little bit higher and deeper than my current tank, but almost twice as wide. My question now is can I move everything from my one tank into that one without recycling? I don't see why it'd be an...

Holy cow I'm one in a million with my first hello post. I'm fairly new to having an aquarium. I've had them in my house when I was young, but it was my parent's. All I did was help them from time to time with water changes or cleaning it. Certainly wasn't something I cared much to learn...
