I just got two bolivian rams, they are just about 2 inches each. At the LFS, one seemed to have longer darker front rays on "his" dorsal fin than the other, so both I and the LFS girl decided they could be a pair. But now that they've been in my tank for a few days (10 gal. planted with three...

You'd think that of all people, the fish guys in a petstore would help new fish owners! My friend came to visit last weekend and she told me how sad she was that the Betta she purchased a couple weeks before died. I asked her a few questions and quickly enough I found out she never put water...

Hi! I took a flame tetra out of my main tank and put it in a hospital tank last friday, because a side of it's belly was red and I could see that some of it's scales were flaking off on that area. At first I figured it was just a bacterial infection and was going to do some salt dips and keep...

ok, I went out and bought an extra tank today, with the intention of using it as a quarantine/hospital/breeding tank (depending on what's going on...). I read up a lot about what to do and think I have a plan, but there are still a couple things I'm unsure of... I bought a 10 gallon tank...

Hi! This morning, my corys were acting a little crazy and next thing I know, there are about 50 eggs on the aquarium glass!!! They are scattered into about three groups (that I can see), they are a little over a millimeter in diameter and they are white (I'm pretty sure it's from the cories)...

Tonight I sat down to watch my fish before turning the light off... one of the fish was missing! I usually have 6 flame tetras, but tonight there were only 5. There are quite a few rocks, plants and roots in my aquarium, so I started lifting and moving stuff but I couldn't find the fish...

Hi! On Monday I stopped using my air pump because I felt that my plants would provide enough oxygen for my fish - so far they all seem fine. (Re: "Enough Oxygen?" - Nov. 30). However my PH & Alkalinity have gone down as a result: -PH from around 6.7 to 6.3 -Alkalinity from around 60-80 to...

Hello! I joined aquariumadvice.com a couple weeks ago, but forgot to introduce myself... This is my first aquarium ever! (not including a small goldfish bowl I had for about 2 weeks when I was a kid). I started my 50 gal fw tank 2 months ago and LOVE it! I decided to go the planted route and...

Hi! I started my tank 2 months ago; you can see the tank specs in my signature. Though I do not have much lighting (<1 Watt/Gal), most plants are doing very well. I used to have an air pump on all the time, but I've read that it's not great for a planted tank (pushes out CO2), so I'm...

Hi! I started my 50 GAL FW tank 2 months ago. The cories have been in my tank for about a month now - 3 Albino and 3 Emerald. About two weeks ago, one of the cories had a cottony fungus, which was cured very quickly with a week-long treatment of Pima-Fix. Apart from that, all cories seem...
