My German blue ram has an inflated right eye. No other fish seem to be affected. Although he does seem to be very unhappy with his new deformity. What might be the cause and how can I help him?

Bought this tank what seems like forever ago. In reality probably less than a year. Current homeowners are as followed: 2 German Blue Rams. (bought 2 online asking for a pair but got 2 males) 7 Serpae tetras. 1 upside down catfish 1 otocinclus. 2 golden wonder killies. I just rearranged my tank...

Ive got a 46 gallon tank and I was planning on using it for the purpose of breeding these lovelies. My question is, is there a fish that I could include in that tank that could coexist with these aggressive fish? As well as having the potential to possibly eat a percentage of the fry? I've done...

I bought two German Blue rams a number of months ago asking for a male and a female. It's been those months and I'm pretty sure I can conclude with the fact that I was given two males. Due to the identical markings and colour and the fact that they now fight amongst themselves now and then...

So up until now I've been enjoying myself greatly with my 29G with serpae tetras and a pair of GBR's (dont forget the Otto). And just today I picked up a 50G bowfront and a little 10G! Before I can set everything up I gotta head to Home depot or something to get some more powerstrips. And I'm...

I'm on my way to purchase what seems to be a 50G bowfront tank. Stand and all that so I'm pretty excited. As of right now all I have is a 29G with 7Serpae tetras, 2 German blue rams and 1 Otto. I'm still going freshwater and was wondering if anybody had some good stocking ideas for my...

Would you say that this Red Zebra is holding eggs? She's at the store and I'm rather curious.

I was offered to adopt some cichlids but neither I nor the owner can identify them. The description I was given was that the adults grow 3-4 inches, they are orange with translucent fins and coexist with two other larger species of fish. Here's the picture I was sent, to my surprise they are in...

I've got what I hope is a pair of GBR's. If this photo isn't enough I'll try another one tomorrow. Thanks in advance :) Crew

I've got a 29 gallon with simply 5 long finned red minor tetras and an oto, oh and a black mystery snail. I plan to add either a pair of GBRs or Bolivians, and maybe a pair of kribensis. Anyway. Right now it seems a school of four of the tetras usually hang out, and one just hides in my plants...

Have a lone goldfish accompanied by a black mystery snail in my 29 gallon. Recently he seems to be excreting a ton. And it's white, it's not the stringy white like I've seen, it's thicket than that. I don't think it's *alive* because I have yet to see any move. A decent piece draped over a...

Quick question. Are the 5gallon jugs of water used for coolers etc that you can fill up at a publix (again etc) aquarium friendly? The water, that is. Our tap water is horrendous and I'm wondering if that might be a good alternative. It says that the water goes through a carbon filter, UV light...

So I just bough a piece of driftwood with a plant attached. The water it came in is heavy in particles, should I add that water to my tank? There's no fish in it, and I have a 29 gallon.

Hey there, Just wondering if anybody knew a possibly cheaper alternative to the cichlid stone. Creative ideas are welcome :) I've heard people using styrofoam and a cement coating. Ideas/what are you using/ ? :D

Saw it at the store and instantly fell in love with it. My tank isn't quite ready for fish but when it is that little guy is definitely on my list. I went online to seek parameters for it but I came across something I questioned. A site claimed that the blue ram required a ph of 5!? That's...

I've posted about this before but it's been quite awhile. Basically I have. 29gallon freshwater tank, but it seems our well water may be inadequate. Apart from a 8.4ish ph level, the water has a yellowish tinge to it. Many visible particles in the water. I drained the water leaving enough to...

At this point I'm seriously considering just craigslisting it all. Left home for two weeks to be up in Canada. My ammonia hasn't changed since. Don't have a precise mesurement but it looks like it's at about 2ppm. Hasn't changed at all. Also my water has a yellow tint, always has. I'm... Beyond...

Alright, I've addressed this problem before but it doesn't seem like I'm getting anywhere. So at first the employees at my LFS told me I had extremely high ph. So I bought a bottle of ph decrease and over the course of about a week, ended up having an empty bottle with still a ph of around 8...

I'm new. Just throwing that out there. I got a 29 gallon with nothing in it right now. My water is brackish so I'm thinking I might try cichlids. Quick question too, is it possible to lower the amount of O2 from my airstone? It's rather... A lot. I'd prefer if less came out.

I had recently inherited a little money, and decided to get back into my past fishtank years. I've got a 29g tank(believe me, an upgrade) and everything nice and set up. About a week later. Got some fish started, clown loach, striped peacock eel, and two bristlenose plecos. Now, I had a few...
