I brought home 5 julii cories last Sunday and they've been in QT ever since. Yesterday I noticed that one was flashing along the bottom and another was doing it today. Water parameters are fine - test with API Master Kit Temp is at 80 There is no substrate...could it be stress or is it more...

I've learned quite a bit here and now when I see little fish in bowls, I feel so bad for them. Before I never really gave it a second thought. I am reading Do It Yourself magazine and they have a project where you make a wall mount fish tank with 4" cylinder vases. At the very end they say, "To...

Any advice? I just put the stuff in there so not all of it has to stay. I tried making it pretty, but I'm hopeless. In there now are three mopani driftwood pieces to the left, three small chunks of lava rock, one big lava rock and a small piece of driftwood to the right of that. 2 - Anubias...

I'm currently cycling a 55 that I want to be a low light planted tank. I'm not comfortable yet with the idea of CO2. After reading the beginner's article I just want to make sure I am preparing for the right fertilizers. I have Eco-complete substrate. From what I gather in the article I may...

My LFS is moving locations and is having a 30% off sale. I need a new heater for my 55. What are some good ones? My current one is one that came with the kit, All-Glass. I would really like one that has the numbers displayed on the top so make temp changes easier.

You all have been such a help with my questions on my 10, I was hoping you might be able to advise me what to do for my non-planted 29. I have a whole thread, but don't want you to have to dig through it so I'll give the basics. Temp for this whole period has been 78 and I did have 9 guppies, 1...

Can someone please take a look at my fishless cycle results? How low does the pH need to go before I worry about it and add something to bring it up? That would be like crushed coral, right? 10/27 pH - not tested Ammonia - 4ppm 10/28 pH - 7.4 Ammonia - 2ppm 10/29 pH - 7.4 Ammonia - 2ppm...

I tried reading the Beginner's Guide to Lighting that is in the sticky up top, but it was just too above my head. Makes me feel like an idiot :confused: but that's okay. I would like to plant my new 55 with low light plants. I have a black thumb so the less maintenance, the better. That said...

I have a fried who works for an insurance company tell me that I needed to add a rider to my coverage in case of any leaks. So, I contacted my company and they said that was correct. It wouldn't cover the contents but it would cover any damage to personal items, electronics and floor damage...

Injured Fins - Should I Euthanize? - Nevermind I woke up to find one of my guppies missing. After a search, I found him caught between the sponge I'm using to help cycle and the glass. It wasn't like that before so I'm thinking the 7 yr old was playing with the magnet. The fish has both of...

I'm in the process of doing a fish-in cycle (yes, I was one of those people - the ones that were totally clueless and followed the word of their fish store employee and ran an empty tank for a whopping two days!). I'm having an active sponge delivered tomorrow that I will be setting up in my...

Hi! I'm new here and new to aquariums in general. On Sunday - 10/7 - I bought a 29G tank kit, some gravel and decorations and was told that we needed to wait 48-hours to add the fish. Added the conditioned water, decor (fake plants and large lava rock), and set the heater at 76 (vertical on...
