sorry for posting again so soon.. but my angelfish seems to getting worse by the minute. he's kind of listlessly scooting around and then almost tumbling around, just using his front fins. then he'll lean on a rock at the bottom of the tank with his fins all bunched up. all the other fish in the...

hey everyone! I have a 29 gallon tank, kept at around 84 degrees. I've had 7 tetras and 3 platies for months now, and added 2 corydoras and 5 danios last week. there's only the 1 angelfish at the moment and up until this evening he's been doing great since I got him 6 months ago. he appears to...

just wondering.. at the moment I have four tetras, one dwarf corydora and a platy... I'd love love love to add an oscar or two, but I have a feeling they wouldnt go well with my little fishes. I lost a number of fish when I first set the tank up, and now that the biofilter is established, I'd...

I have three rummys and they've all gone pale! they had ich about a week and a half ago.. I turned the heater up and have been keeping the tank around 85-86 degrees. I just tested the water and the nitrite had jumped from 0 to 10, nitrate at 20 (GH 75, KH 80, pH 7.. havent tested the ammonia yet...

... fish for a 29 gallon tank? I have 11 now, but I'd like to put a few more in.. at least some more platys. I had 6, and all but 1 died. the remaining platy seems lonesome to me. :(

all three of my rummynose tetras have ich! it seems like the little white spots appeared overnight. I did a 50% water change. raised the temperature to 83 and gave them all salt dips. what else should I do? do I need to change all the water?

my poor platies! I started with six, two died, one disappeared.. of the three remaining, two look fine and the other one seems to be going downhill the way the others did. the others started to become listless, stopped eating and died within 24 hours. this one (his name is herman :P ) has been...

when you do a water change how much do you need to worry about temperature? I keep my tank at about 76-78 (f) and I'm talking about a 20%-30% water change here.. I've been trying to make sure the water is close to that, but I'm sure I'm not as close as I think I am. how much will this affect the...

hello, me again :D is it ok to leave the hood light on 24 hours a day?

I have a peppered corydora who just started freaking out a little while ago.. he keeps swimming up to the top, maybe poking his mouth out but I cant quite tail.. and then just zipping around like a frantic little madman.. everyone else in the tank is behaving normally... is ok? what is he up to?
