Had a problem with my tank getting cloudy first thought it was over feeding, cut back on that and still cloudy, finally I looked in the filter I have an aqua clear with the 3 filters and the sponge and carbon had green algae on it...cleaned them in a bowl of fish water and wala the tank is clean...

M getting a white cloudy haze to my water, week 2...I did a 30-40% change last weekend and it stayed pretty good til yesterday, I just did another 30-40% change and hoping it'll solve it, I thought it may have been over feeding since I've started to let my 4 yr old help me feed the fish, but I...

My Silver Dollar has a black spot on both sides of body in the same spot. It almost looks like it indents a little bit...weird part is it's not always there, some times it fades and other times is dark...I've tried to take a picture and he won't stay still (camera shy) ;) I looked it up and it...

I have been cycling my tank for some time now (lost track of the weeks) but it s somewhere around 8 weeks, I have ammonia and Nitrites at their max and now the Nitrates are at 20 ppm... Do I do my large water change now? or wait til the ammonia and Nitrites are at 0? I am using the API Master...

I had fish in my tank for a lil over a month and then realized I hadn't properly cycled it, after losing over half of them and finding homes for the others I did a complete water change and started a fishless cycle...here's the thing...it's been 5 weeks and all I have is ammonia, nothing else...

I'm on my 3rd week of my Fishless Cycle and I finally have Nitrites showing up! Very weak about .25 but it's about time ;) So now what...Do I still keep my ammonia at 4 ppm? I read where I need to add 1/2 of the ammonia I have been to the tank so does that mean keep the ammonia levels to 2? My...

I've been cycling for 2 weeks now, my ammonia is steady at 4 ppm 0 nitrites so far...my question... I've read to have your ammonia 4ppm and no higher or it'll stall the tank, but I've also read to add ammonia daily to the tank...wouldn't the ppm go up if I add ammonia to the tank? So...add or...

I bought a bottle of Ammonia today to add to my cycle and I'm hoping it's right...

I have a 26 gallon high bowed front tank that I am currently Cycling. I'm pretty new to this whole thing so I was wondering what type and how many I should get. I currently have a friend fish sitting my Peacock Eel, Angel Fish, and Silver Dollar...I have a 20 gallon tank I am going to start...

I was able to finally find a home for my fish! Yay! I started a Fish In cycle a week ago Saturday and starting this past Saturday my Ammonia started to go up...so the cycling process has been a week so far... So now that my tank is empty my levels are: Ammonia - .25-.5 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0...

After realizing that the Pet Store was completely wrong about how to set up a tank (leave it fishless for a week with the filter running...then its safe to add fish) I am now doing a fish in cycle with the fish that were able to last through my spiked ammonia. I have an angel fish, silver...

My Silver Dollar has a Hazy look to it, Sunday it had Ich, I did a treatment, and the Ich is gone, but now he has a Hazey look and eyes have it too. Another problem I have is I've lost 4 fish just today! I am thinking it has to do with the pet store I bought them from, I haven't had any luck...

My fish are afraid of the dark, I have to keep my tank light on at night or my fish swim frantic and try to jump out of the tank I have silver dollar, shark fish, tiger fish, angel fish, and a peacock eel Is this normal? And is it causing any harm by keeping it on at night?

My Peacock Eel doesn't seem to eat (or at least not when I feed the rest of the fish) I am feeding them Tropical Flakes and was told that the eel would eat them. I've had him for about a month now and he's still living so I am going to assume he's eating something lol...Is this normal? Any...

I'm fairly new to aquariums, and I was wondering what the benefits of Driftwood are. I have a 26 gallon tank with a peacock eel, tiger fish, angel fish, silver dollar, and shark fish. as far as decorations go I have fake plants and a pirate ship... Thank you in advance!
