So I flipped on the light on in my 20gal GBR tank and noticed the infamous white specs on my rams. I have only had ich one other time in the past two years of my fish keeping experience and it didn't turn out good. Ended with a blue staind tank and a dead goldfish. I really want to beat this...

I got a blue gourmi on friday to add in ram tank. I acclimated it for 45mins before adding to my tank. All he seems to do when the lights are on is swim up and down in the same corner of the tank. If I add food he will eat and then back to up and down in the corner. Why is he doing this...

So I am wanting to add 1-2 more fish to my 20gal ram tank. So far I have 2 gbr and 5 endler tetras. I was thinking to add a couple more fish to my tank without it turning into a royal rumble. I have heard people keep mentioning apistos so googled that and they are really cool fish. Could I...
