My poor plec has this all over him. It’s long and moves in the current. At first I thought it was algae on the driftwood that he’s under, but then I realized it’s all over him. A video shows it much better, but I couldn’t figure out how to attach it. I assumed it was a fungus and treated the...

I am moving to a new state. The drive will probably be about 8 hours. I have a 55 gl and a 15 gl. The big tank has a 16 inch pleco, loaches, corys and different types of goldfish. The small tank has bubble goldfish, a Cory and otos. My plan is to put my pleco in a long Rubbermaid container, and...

I moved into a house with this little pond. It's adorable but it was obviously put in incorrectly. The liner tub shows. The ugly black liner is holding water but again it shows. The cords show. And I have been told it would be a major undertaking to fix it. So after doing research I have decided...

I have always loved loaches but I have a heck of a time with them burrowing into my sand and hurting themselves on the slate that holds down my driftwood. See photo. Any ideas on a safer way to keep the driftwood from floating? I just want loaches! ;)

Hello all. I have been selling MTS on eBay for nearly two years and all of the sudden they are requiring me to only use over night shipping, which of course is a lot more expensive than priority mail I have been using. So now my orders have nearly stopped. Does anyone know of another place to...

I have a new 10gl that I want to try a real plant. I want something that looks topical and will grow out of the top of the tank because I'm not putting a cover on it. I'm hoping for a low light, no fertilizer, super easy beginner plant. Any ideas?

Hey everyone! I have a 55g in need of rescaping and I'm not sure how to achieve the look I want. I am still not ready to bite the bullet and do real plants (I'm a plant murder!) but I want a natural type look... I know I know... How do I achieve height? Check out this photo I found on...

I bought an old tank off of CL. Cute lil 10g for my fry. Had it set up a week with no issues and then one night came home to a wet floor. It's not gushing, so I have no idea where it is leaking from. Any tricks for figuring out which seal is leaking? Is it okay to only fix one seal or do I...

Hello Pond People! As of now I have three FW community tanks: I'm not a fish newbie, just a pond newbie. ;) I apologize in advance for asking questions that I'm sure you guys have answered hundreds of times. I have tried researching and am just spinning my wheels. We are buying a house that...

I have a 55g and a 15g established fw tanks. Both have fake plants, pebbles/sand substrate and get tons of natural light. I have plecos in the 55g and otos in the 15g, and all the algae eaters are FAT! Both have mts. But, I still have dark green algae all over my plants. I was wondering if there...

About two weeks ago my 15gl tank smelled NASTY (like death) so acclimated all of my fish from the 15gl to my 55gl and did a total water change. I left the filter working and kept my sand substrate. The only thing in the tank is the sand and MTSs. I knew this would crash my cycle. But I figured...

This photo shows my platy and her reflection off the tank. This red area is raised and looks like a pimple... I only noticed it last night as I was turning off the lights, but I didn't notice it at dinner time. I added a dose of Melafix to the tank last night. This morning the bump is not any...

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I am the type of pet parent to want to feed my animals good stuff... No Kibbles N' Bits for my dogs, high quality seeds and fruit for my bird, etc.... but I'm not sure what to look for with my fish. I've been keeping fish for a little over a year...

Hey everyone! I know there are a ton of these types of threads, but here we go! I have a 55g FW tank that has: 5 assorted Cories 1 Highfin Pleco 2 Skunk Loaches 1 Rainbow Shark (I know people say they are aggressive, but I have never seen any signs of aggression from him, except the time I...

I have seen these all over the place online and was wondering what everyone here thinks of them in general. I have two Plecos that get along most of the time, but sometimes chase each other around the tank and upset everyone. I was wondering if getting two Bamboo Shelter tubes large enough...

I have had this humpback female guppy for about six months. When I bought her and two sisters for a male I had they were small and her humpback wasn't noticeable. She is the only one that survived and lives with platys. Normally she is just like any other fish, just looks weird. Today I noticed...

**Sorry for the horrible photos. I just can't seem to understand how to do fish photos!** The fish in question is the white/silver mickey platy. She is in my birthing tank which is 15g and has only platy fry of various ages, some ghost shrimp, and one surviving oto. (see my new oto death post...

So I know that Otos are not hardy fish. I have heard this is because they are wild caught. I have read online articles about how to pick out the healthiest looking otos and how to acclimate them correctly. I have been keeping otos in my well established tanks for about six months now. I even...

Hey guys. I have successfully shipped fish during the winter with insulated boxes and heat packs. But how do you ship fish in this heat? I live in TX and it's nearing triple digests already... Boo...

I have three fully cycled tanks that have been running great for over six months sizing from a 1.5 fry tank, 15g, and a 55g. All but the fry tank have a variety of fw fish and shrimp. I'm not a green thumb, so all of my plants are fake. I have lots of driftwood. With all the tanks I have 5...

I need to know EVERYTHING about how to ship fw fish including fry. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

I recently discovered that people on eBay will buy platy fry and pay for shipping. So I'm thinking about trying my hand at selling and then shipping some of my dozens of fry. But I have questions. 1: anything live I have had ordered came with plant clippings. Is this for food purposes or to...

If anyone has any to sell please pm me!!!
