What is this film? I believe my fish have columnaris. Thanks!

I found a really nice piece of wood to use as driftwood outside today. I boiled it and put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 1.5 hours. When I took it out, I noticed it was oozing sap. How can I prep the wood to ensure it is safe for my tank? I recognize it may be easier for me to go to the...

I recently had an outbreak of columnaris in my tank. One of my neons caught it (I noticed cottony stuff around his mouth) but recovered. However, while he was sick, his colors faded However, more than a week after all trace of columnaris is gone from my tank, this neon's colors are still...

I was thinking of getting either one large school 20-25 of neon tetras or a smaller school of about ten for the neons and ten for another kind of tetra/danio/rasbora. Right now, if I go with a secondary school I am leaning towards glowlight tetras. Any thoughts on what would look better/be...

I bought three kuhli loaches on Sunday. They have been very shy. I read online that I should have at least 5. Do I need to get two more or will; they grow more comfortable to the tank?

Hi, My tank is relatively new, going for about a month now, and has a lot of brown algae. I also have two medium sized amazon swords and a small cryptocoryne. I have no idea what kind of light I have on top of my tank- its the one that came standard with the start-up kit. It says Aquarium...

Hi, On Saturday, I got an old filter media from my sister to seed bacteria in my tank. It is currently cycled completely. Today, my sister's fish are showing signs of ich. I have two bronze cory cats (I thought they were emerald but I was wrong). When I first started up the tank, I dosed...

I began cycling my water on Monday. I have two Emerald cory catfish in there now. I have been keeping a close eye on toxin levels. Yesterday, I got an old filter cotton thing from my sister's tank so I am hoping that adds bacteria to the cycle. I put the old filter in my filtration system...
