    PLEASE HELP... angelfish swimming corkscrew??

    My angelfish was LITERALLY swimming in a corkscrew motion all around the tank for ten minutes. I put him in a net after recording a video so he wouldn't hurt himself... And all of the sudden he straightened out and was fine?? It was right after eating if that means anything. I'm trying to...

    Lights on a Tank

    We are a little short on money and have been waiting on picking up a $50 hood and light fixture on our 30 gallon tank. I only have a breeding pair of angelfish in there. However, both times they've spawned in the last 3 weeks they've eaten their eggs. They see sunlight from a small half-window...

    Breeding Angelfish Head Butting

    Hey guys so I've got a breeding pair alone in a bare bottom 30 gallon tank. They've only spawned twice so far in 3 weeks and have ate the eggs both times. I want to try and have them breed naturally. Anyways, today I noticed the female's side fin has a tear in it, and I found the two head...

    Angelfish Swollen And Ripped Up Papilla

    Hello all... My full grown super veil Angelfish, Poseidon, is having a bit of an emergency and I don't know what to do! I just got him three weeks ago at my LFS... he was expensive but beautiful. This whole time he was gotten along wonderfully with all of the other tank mates without a problem...

    His bad advice

    Just a ridiculous story for today... The guy at one of my LFS's told me that on top of my already 12 angelfish in my 55 gallon, I could add a large school of tetras, 4 Chinese algae eaters, and one elephant nose. He followed me around as I looked at every single fish and pointed out every...

    For Sale or trade: Pick up in MN: CHEAP plants

    Hello everybody! I have a ton of plants (about 60 dollars or so) of plants that have been just sitting in a 5 gallon bucket for a month now because my tank was taken down. I am temporarily moving from fish. I spent about 60-75 dollars in these plants, but most of them due to lack of care are...

    Angelfish Aids/Angelfish Plague

    Question about this.. In two week's time I lost 9 of 9 adult angels and 4 of 4 quarter sized angels. However, all 8 of my pea sized angels that were in the tank just as long (even longer) than some of the adults have been unaffected. The tank is taken down to bleach out and restart, and they are...

    Bleaching a tank and staring over

    Well... That makes 9 for 9 adult angels dead. 2 weeks was all I took for Angelfish Aids to destroy everything and everyone I loved. The angels were all at a friend's house being treated, the stock I had was: 1x red tailed shark 2x otos 3x guppy fry 8x angel fry 1x Dalmatian molly I set up my 8...

    Sanitizing the tank

    How should go about doing this? Angelfish Plague struck. Gotta completely start from scratch. Not a trace of water left. Remaining fish are being temporarily rehomed. 10 gallon will hold one of my two filters with completely new filter media and I'm cycling the 10 gallon and then putting the...

    Sanitizing Plants?

    Due to the Angelfish Plague, I need to completely empty out my tank, bleaching the tank out, and cycling it all over again. I have almost 75 dollars in plants, and they will need to be disinfected, because the plague will stick to the plants. How do I disinfect? If I completely dry them, won't...

    ready to give up... lost 6 of 9 angels

    Long story short, I lost 6 angels in under a week to unknown causes. All fish were healthy and showing no symptoms until just a few hours before they died. The only changes in the tank were adding sand (week and a half ago - no changes in any fish when added) and adding plants + a free breeding...

    Cut on finger

    I have a cut on my finger. It's not bleeding but I just got it last night. Are my fish gonna be okay with an open wound like that? It won't harm my fish will it?

    Newbie question

    I just got plants for my tank two days ago. I am doing a water change today for the first time with them in there. I have a sandy substrate. Do I remove my plants to do it? What do I do about the root tabs in the sand? You're supposed to disturb the top of your sand bed aren't you?

    Wanted: Spawning pair of angelfish

    Looking for a spawning pair of angelfish that don't need their eggs pulled. I am removing all fish in my tank except angels and making it an angel-only so I can begin my angelfish breeding career early. There are no local angelfish pairs in my area. Nearest pair is 2 and a half hours away and...

    "Aquarium Maintenance" notebook

    I just bought a special notebook and folder specifically for aquarium maintenance! I want to get everyone's opinions on how to organize it and what to add into it. The first few pages are going to be saved for water tests/water change schedules. I know I want to have a spot where it shows my...

    Standard Aquarium Bulbs

    I believe that's what I have. That's what someone on here told me. I got the tank (and hood) off of CL. I'm wondering if this light source is enough for low light plants such as moss balls. I'm planning on converting to a low light planted tank. Thank you!

    Finally put my new sand in!

    Black Diamond Blasting Sand medium grain. Rinsed in 3 sections. Took 3 hours of rinsing! It was perfect - sunk right to the bottom with no fogging of the tank! It looks BEAUTIFUL! It shimmers in the light!! So happy to have this done! Trying to upload pics but I guess I hit my maximum image quota?

My birthday is coming up (he's celebrating it Thursday) and didn't have any time other than the night I was over there (yesterday) to go shopping.
