so I bought a new heater for my 90 gallon tank - the old one was just not able to keep the tank warm enough. now I have the opposite problem. this one will heat up my tank, but I can't seem to make it stop. I have resorted to unplugging it to make sure my tank is not too hot. I think i might...

Hi guys! I got a couple of mollies the other day and now I see fuzzy white stuff on both of them. do I have to treat with meds or can I just use salt? and no... it is fuzzy not ick

I have a neon in my 20 gallon tank and I am pretty sure he has popeye. 2 questions: 1- can I just treat it with salt 2-will this kill them or just make them look funny if left untreated? In my tank I have juli cory cats, micky platy, bosemani rainbow, nerite snail, red gourami. all these guys...

Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about my large male Bosemani Rainbow nipping the tail of my smaller male rainbow. the large one is my only survivor of early days so I got him some tank mates. looks like he didn't like the boy and nipped his tail pretty bad. I moved the little guy into another...

Hi guys - my rainbow has part of his tail missing. I posted this under "big rainbow chasing small rainbow" but no one has chimed in. I need to know what to do for him!

So here is my story. I have a 90 gallon tank that had ick not too long ago. Lost a lot of my fish. I am now in the restocking mode. I had 3 very large bosmani rainbows in there (4 inches -5 inches long). I lost all but one large male - he was the most dominate of the group. I also had a...

I would just like a quick confirmation - common pleco yes?

Hi everyone. I have been around for a while now and things were going pretty well in my tank until just recently. I have had a big loss in my tank and now I am ready to start thinking of restocking. thought I would put a shout out here and see what everyone thinks. Several questions. I have a...

So I have a female bolivian ram that I recently moved from my qt tank to my 90 gallon tank. she has something sticking out of her - this isn't how they lay eggs is it? it is the only thing I can think of. she doesn't look injured just like something is coming out of her. these are not the best...

Here is a pic of my harlequin rasbora. He looks like he has a couple if lumps on him a d the lumps looks slightly grey and maybe fuzzy? Can you tell me what he has and how I should treat him?

OK, I am embarrassed to post this on here, but I need to ask, so here I go. I have had my tanks up for about a year. When I first started out I was very good and changed my water weekly and tested it weekly as well. Things got established and I got all the sick stuff out of my tanks and we were...

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my ram? I have had her for just a month now. Back tail fun seems funny and of course she is laying around- I am sure this is not a good sign. Is there anything I can do to save her?

Hi. I recently acquired 2 bolivian rams - 1 male, 1 female. they are going to go into my 90 gallon tank, but right now they are in the qt tank. my question is about their behavior. at first the female seemed great and the male was the one I was worried about - not eating, not moving around much...

Hi! I am thinking I want a new filter for my 20 gallon tank. Right now I have a penguin bio wheel 150. I want to replace it with an aquaclear I think. Should I get the 30 or 50? I want good filtration but not so much water movement that my little guys can't swim around comfortably. Thanks for...

Hi guys! it has been a while since I have posted on here, so my memory is a bit off. I have a 90 gal tank running 2 aquaclear 110s. current residents in my tank are: 4 mollies 2 platy, 1 young platy, 4 baby platy 13 harlequien rasbora 5 bosemani rainbow 1 turquoise rainbow 5 ottos...

so much to my surprise I look in my tank and find a baby nerita snail in there! I thought it was impossible for them to breed in fresh water! but ... now that I am typing this I am beginning to wonder if this is a piggy back off of the java moss i put in there... he is itty bitty - how can I...

so, I thought I would start a new thread on my 90 gallon tank. As many of you may remember I have had many problems going on with this tank but now I think I am done. To summarize... I started a fishless cycle on 21 Jan and finished it on 16 Feb (with the help of an angels pluss filter). I...

Anyone know any reason why my Dalmatian Molly is changing color so much? Could it be go to the meds I have been adding? Is this normal? I know the fish can get more color in your tank but I didn't think this would happen. He is almost all black now. Here are before and after pics

Thought I would share with everyone my story. so I know I have read on here and been told lots of times that the fry can get sucked up in the filter. well I guess I just didn't believe it. today when I went to clean out my filters I pull out the basket with the filter media (aquaclear 110) and...

My harlequin rasbora has this white thing sticking out from his side. Just noticed this today. I just removed him from the tank. My qt tank is not ready for him yet. Can someone identify and and advise treatment?

My rainbow fish just ate a pellet that he can't swallow. Is there anything I can do to help?

so I am now doing my second fishless cycle on my new QT tank. thought I knew what I was doing... but now I am having problems. today is the third day in a row that my PH is low. I have done about a 90% WC every day that I see the PH has dropped - so today was my third big WC. Started out...

So excited!! found some Molly babies in my 90 gallon tank! I have been looking and looking for days now. I really thought she would have a batch around the 10th or so, but never found any. tonight we found 3 little survivors! but they don't look like newborns... maybe they are 10 days old?? any...

do loaches and snails go together? I have polka dot loaches and was thinking of getting some snails to go in my tank. I had heard originally that the loaches would pester the snails, but now I don't seem to be able to find that reference. anyone have these two together?

So I keep reading about everyones snails and have decided that I think I want to add a snail (or two) to my 5 gallon betta tank. currently I have 1 betta, 3 neons in there, but the neons will be moved as soon as I am done treating my other tank. how many snails can I put in there with my...
