I have a 20 gallon cycled with 20 pound bag already in. I bought another bag. My question is, do I have to rinse the substrate since my tank is already cycled, or is it fine just adding straight to tank?

I am pretty sure it is a pleco, but I need specifics. I am trying to stock my gf's works 26 gallon tank. She said this fish has been in there for over 2 years and he is only 4 inches. I thought a 3 year old pleco would be over 12".

I currently have 3 albino corys 4 ghost shrimp 1 platy 6 harlequin 6 neon tetras I had a dwarf gourami, and I loved his colors, but I am thinking of getting something else. Anyone have suggestions?

I am changing substrates, and i have black algae on the acrylic. What is the best way to clean the inside while not harming the fish later on?

For a while now he has been hiding like 23+ hours a day, he's really skinny, clamped fins, and swims really flimsy. He does come out to eat but doesnt do a great job. I have a 20 gallon 90% stocked with a 50G AC, fully cycled. All my other fish are great, I even have a 4 month old platy thriving.

I have petco black sand, but I have seachem tabs, API leaf zone, and T5HO. I have dwarf hairgrass and am looking into buying some amazon sword.

I have a good biofilter going and I have some dark algae that my fish are always picking at, and i hate the way it looks. I was wondering if its okay to scrub it off with a new toothbrush in the tank water. And if I can, should I do only one per week or so?

I have a fully stocked 20 G with a DG, 6 Neon tetras, 3 platys, and 4 albino corys. I need as much water in my tank as i can, and I recently bought a 48W T5HO light for my dwarf HG. This is the one here 24" 48W T5 HO Aquarium Light 2X24W Lamp German Reflector Hood Fixture Coral Reef | eBay Is...

I just noticed he has a gash on his side. He is hiding now I think he's hurt. What can I do?

I currently have 4 in my 20G. 3 of them are always swimming together and colors are vibrant, the other is kinda dull colors and almost always by himself. I barely stocked yesterday btw.

I have a 20 gallon tank. On aqadvisor I over stocked to about 110% but my filter is around 150%. Will I be fine?

I just almost fully stocked my tank with 5 platys, 5 neon tetras, and 1 dwarf gourmi. So I just saw that 1 of my tetras is dead. It got sucked to the filter. I have a AC 50G for my 20 gallon tank, how long will they be alright until I add some more? I know they are a schooling fish. BTW I have 3...

Doing a fishless cycle, and my ammonia goes from ~4 to ~1 every day. I have off the chart nitrites. My Nitrates were 20ppm 3 days ago, the next day around 40. Now I have 0? Im so confused. I have done NO water changes.

My cycle is nearly complete, and still unsure of what to stalk with. Im interested for bottom dwellers 3 khuli loachs, but im unsure if I have hard or soft water. Other than that, kinda thinking of a school of some cardinal tetras, and a dwarf gourmi, not sure what else.

I had a 150 Penguin Filter, but it stopped working, and was smoking hot so I threw it out. I heard carbon is the way to go, but Im not sure. BTW Im in the process of a cycle.

I have a 20 gallon tank, with plenty of bubbles going on, and a filter. I've been cycling for more than 2 months and I figured I would have had enough bacteria built by now. So far the bacteria eats the ammonia in no less than 2-3 days. I am adding the ammonia from aces, so I know its not a...

How much longer do I have for my cycle more or less?

I really like the look of khuli loaches, but rarely come across a aquarium with some. Any other fish preferences?

I was wondering if this is possible?

I have a 20 gallon tank, currently cycling. Do I add the Prime before I add ammonia?
