If I drop an algae or sinking wafer and it goes uneaten something fuzzy grows from it. What is it? Is it fungus? It's like a light fuzzy mould or fungus that grows on it. I usually remove them after they go uneaten for a day. But would shrimp eat this stuff? I have a shrimp only tank which...

Can shrimp get ich, fluke, or other external parasite, for instance and spread it or die from it?

What species have you had in your tank that you found either interesting in terms of activity, habits, mating, character, etc... Or perhaps you had one fish with some peculiar habits. I have two honey gouramis that are constantly searching for food. They are the only species in my tank that...

I have two female red honey gouramis, and one of the females bullies the other. The funny thing is that when I first got them the one being bullied now is the one that originally was a bit of a bully, go figure. My question is do female gouramis fight for territory like the males? I have no...

I'm considering upgrading my 15 gal to a 40 - 50 gal tank some time soon. I made a mistake buying the smaller tank. It just seemed big enough empty, but when you add decoration, filters, heaters and the fish it doesn't seem so roomy any more. Well, here's my dilemma. I have a Emperor 280...

I currently have a 15g tank that has been cycled and ready to add fish. I've done the ammonia and nitrate test, my pH is 7.5, and GH 8. I have a couple of silk plants that reach the surface to provide cover, drift wood and a pagoda cave. I am considering purchasing 4-6 Harequin Rasboras and...

What are your experiences with fish food? I currently have a cycled 15ga tank and I am still deciding on what fish to buy. When I do buy my fish I'll buy some food as well. I'm just wondering what brand you like and if those colour enchancing, digestibility, minimal tank waste, floating...

What advice would you suggest for a betta with ich in a 1 gallon betta tank with no heater or filtration? The ich is primarily on it's pectoral fins. Right now, I am trying a bit of salt with Aquari-sol. Will Aquari-Sol cause some stress in the Betta? Unfortunately, I don't have my main...
