yeah I already removed the catfish I am just wondering if I have to treat the whole tank for ich if one the fish in a tank has ich, will it automatically spread to everything else there, or could it remain just an isolated case because that particular fish was stressed or something I know the...

noticed some white spots/grains on my catfish that weren't there yesterday, does this look like ich? my second question is, can I just remove and treat the catfish, or do I have to treat the whole tank now? I have betta and some amano shrimp in there, all of them look healthy, active with...

yes plants grow in gravel pretty much all the low light plants, which is the only thing you can have with a low light set up 1-2 watts per gallon, have a rhizome, which is a main root that can not be buried or it will start to rot, however the little roots that go from it can be buried in the...

now I have 16 gallons planted tank with a betta, 6 oto cats, about 8 cherry shrimp and 2 assassin snails it was impossible to feed my cories because betta would go for their sinking pallets until he was completely bloated so I would have to quarantine him in a net each time which was a pain...

I'm pretty new to aquarium hobby but the sheer amount of disinformation, ignorance and outright lies is mind bottling they will tell you that you don't need to cycle your tank just add some bacteria from a bottle, they don't know anything about fish they are selling, they will sell you plants...

I have a 16 gallon biocube with a built in 18 watt 10000k light fixture that I have running 10 hours a day would that be considered low light set up? trying to find a tall plant that I can put in the back I have tried both anacharis and bacopa which I thought would do ok with this light but...

I have 4 albino cories with a betta, they have a blast swimming all over the tank like crazy

brown algae is finally gone still got a lot of residue but not as bad as before and it's not growing back

thanx for the advice the anubias plants I've had for over 2 months and they have been doing well but I can't seem to get anything else to grow when I put in anacharis or similar plant like bacopa it starts dieing and losing leaves right away I was going to get a moss ball for the tank but it...

4 cories I feed them 2 pellets a day now and they really go at it don't mind brown algae it was due to new aquarium and is going away now

that sounds about right, I was thinking that one pellet per fish a day might be a little too much I have a school of 4 albino cories, 2 adults and 2 smaller ones, lately I've been giving them 2 pellets a day with a break on sunday

for an adult albino cory about 2 inches in length is one pellet a day enough? too much? I am talking about regular size sinking pellets such as these

Brown Algae - Causes and Cures for Brown Algae

I think that is the same exact plant I had before. It didn't do too well, leaves started withering and falling off which turned the water yellow led to an ammonia spike I replaced them with anacharis so hopefully it does better I'm using 18 watt 10000k florescent light in a 16 gallon from...

lol you have a very light case compared to mine I almost gave up on cleaning the leaves because I didn't want to break them with my fingers, but finally it stopped growing back and the big rocks I take out and clean stay clean so I know it stopped growing anyway from what I read the idea is...

lol unless that picture was taken before the brown algae attack your tank looks positively pristine in my brand new tank the brown algae would cover the leaves and portions of the glass in about two weeks and would still look ugly after cleaning I just waited it out and it's finally going away...

I have a 16 gallon tank lightly planted, just put 2 anacharis bunches in the back, light is 18 watt, 10000k, regular gravel mixed with eco-complete from what I researched this should be good enough for anacharis, would that be correct? how long should I keep the light on? right now I have...

I would rub it off from the plant leaves once in a while so that they can get enough light. There is a lot of conflicting advice how to deal with it too. Some sources say that you actually want to increase the light so that the plants outcompete brown algae for nutrients, that is if your tank is...

it should go away on it's own eventually, it's common with new tanks because it feeds on silicates from the glue residue and such I've had it in my tank really bad for about 4-5 months but it's finally going away, I'm not seeing any new growth

another thing about plants what is with petsmart selling mondo grass? I bought it from them because they assured me it was a fully aquatic plant only to find out later that it's not. They even have it fully submerged at the store and sell it right out of a tank. What is the point of selling a...
