Siesta period? Whats that? Overall my water parameters are good and steady with no major fluxs either. Its not in direct sunlight, but its off to the side of one of my windows against a wall.

Well i do admit I tend to leave my lights on for a longer period of time- 8-12 hours depending on my work schedule but I have tried to decrease that. And this is a recent issue that I have not dealt with prior and have followed the same schedule for almost a year now. I put the lights on because...

I have a 40 gal (i think) goldfish tank which I had been having problems with- algea blooms- I've did everything from buy new filters to daily water changes and finally was told that it was my flourescent lights- that they were worn out and causing the algea to bloom. So I've bought a new light...

I have a black molly in my aquarium which has been swimming strange and has a weird issue with its fin. I spoke to the LFS where I bought her and he advised that the swim bladder is full of air and to try feeding her pea or holding her a net just above the water and let her thrash-in hopes that...

I have a 40gal gold fish tank- with 2 fancy goldfish and 2 small asian algea eaters. I noticed about a month ago my goldfish tank was getting cloudy and when I do water changes- up to every 2-3 days right now, the water is a cloudy green color. I went to several lfs and was told:1) you...

I have a platty who started laying down at the bottom of the 30g tank yesterday. I put it in a breeding net last night as it was litterally struggling to make its way up to he top of the tank to feed. When I moved it I noticed that it looks like a small part of her left fin had been torn off or...

So my Oranda goldfish twice now has decided to swim behind my internal filter in his tank and of course has twice gotten stuck. Obviously not the brightest fish in the sea ;) Anyways on the second round when I rescued him I noticed a small patch of scales got scratched (his bright orange color...

size tank: 30 g tank, they are in a breeding net because they are too small to be let out or they will get eatten. Other fish with it? Yes, an angelfish and a couple platties and another tetra fish but i can't remember the name. Anyone inbred? No clue, as this was the first batch on platties...

So I had a sunburst platty breed several months ago (i.e. june) and two fry survived. They started to intially grow but I've noticed they are no longer growing. One is about the length of a thumb nail and the other has remained about half that size. I'm really not sure as to why they are not...

I have a platty who is very preggers, and squared. However she has not delivered the baby fry for about a week now. Temp and everything is good in the tank. Lights are dim. My concern is I have 2 surviving fry of her last round in a small fish bowl that I want to transfer back into the breeding...

would you be able to post a picture of how you ooutfitted your tank on the outflow?

Aside from the fish thinning out, how would I know if a platy has aborted her fry? I have a sunburst platy who was pregnant and gave birth, but only a few survived, which is fine. But it still looks like her gravid spot is slightly dark and she is still fat so whats going on? She is loose in...

the tank is not covered- it is a weird shape (almost like a "B" if you were looking down on it) and I dont think it came with a cover, but I didnt buy the tank so im not sure. So the water does evaporate, and from what i have researched the Penguin filters process alot of water quickly which...

for sure pregnant, and she is squared off finally. Now its a waiting game :whistle:

i have the same type of fish preggo. what do you mean her "vent" will appear open? how can I tell?

not a fortune. I would like it to be cost efficient but effective.

Hey, I have a 30 gallon tank (tall, not wide) that currently is running a Penguin 200 bio wheel filter. I find the filter is pretty good, but loud. I constantly have the waterfall effect coming from the tank- even when the tank is filled right up to the spout of the filter- which if I kept it...

Can someone look at the photos and tell me if she is pregnant. This is a first for me so i am unsure. She looks a bit bigger and has been hounded by guppies for the past few days.
