I have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium set up, fully cycled and stable water conditions (via API master test kit) for several months. Currently there are 4 African Dwarf Frogs and a Mystery Snail residing there. Recently (in the past 3 weeks or so) I have noticed a black substance starting to...

Ok so we just got 3 little ADF's and want to know if there are any little secrets I should know about them...

I was discussing today how my nine year old daughter names all of our fish herself, and how much it makes me laugh when she does. Just wondering if anyone else has kids that name your fish & would love to hear some of the funny names they came up with. I think my favorite was an orange...

I've had a couple of mystery snails for a couple months now & noticing odd behaviors as I go along & have been fortunate enough to get good sound advice about it here. Here's the newest... Both snails had been inactive for about a week, to the point I thought they might be dead. I was told to...

I have 5 male guppies in a 20 gallon tank. Why are they all staying at the surface in one corner and not exploring the environment at all? :confused:

I've had a golden mystery snail for about 2 months and recently got a black one to keep it company. This morning I found that the black one is floating in his shell on the surface of the water and shortly after that one started the gold one started doing the same. What are they doing?? Is...

I have a Golden Mystery Snail (named Gary) and he's the coolest little guy to watch. I have a couple questions though... What do they eat? I'd love to give him some treats that won't disrupt the environment. I've been leary of getting another snail for fear of dealing with over population...

Every time I vacuum my gravel I end up having to almost completely move (and ultimately rearrange) everything in the tank. My questions are: 1. Is there a way to avoid this disruption of plants (plastic) & other decorations? 2. Is it stressful to the fish when their environment suddenly...

Is there a way to lower nitrates and or nitrites without using chemical additives to your water? I have a 29 gallon tank with 3 fish left in it after an apparent mass suicide over the past week. :eek:

My nitrites spiked suddenly a few days ago...death to a pleco, a serpae tetra, 2 neontetras, a veiled angelfish, a glofish and a red eyed tetra. My daughter is grief stricken:nono: I added aquarium salt as directed by the LFS, but they just keep dying! Advice?? Please! What causes the nitrites...

I currently only have 2 Neontetras and they seem to be doing fine all on their own, but recently realized they are supposed to be schooled in groups of 6 or more. What are the disadvantages to only having 2 of these little guys? Are they unhappy? Any advice would be appreciated!:fish2:

I have a 29 gal tank with 8 little lovelies in it. I have always thought snails were cute little things and would love to add one to my aquarium, but I'm afraid of mass reproduction! Any advice?

I just got my 9 year old daughter a 29 gallon tank for her birthday. I have never in my life had fish of any kind, so I would appreciate any advice anyone is willing to give! So far I have set up the items in the tank including stones, some decorations, a small bubble stone, a bubbling...
