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 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...

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...

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.
