I have a similar problem in my tank. I have a freshwater 80 gallon fish only tank. I get the hard green algae growing on the walls of the tank. The bulb I have is the one that came w/ the tank when I bought it. It's an All-Glass Aquarium bulb and is 32W. The light is only on for about 6 hrs...

Does anyone know where I can get a weight to wrap around zucchini to use to sink to the bottom of the tank? I have seen them at Petsmart in their tanks but they don't sell them and they don't seem to know where you can buy them.

I went and bought 4 more silver dollars today. They are a bit smaller, but I thought I would take a chance considering the larger ones were 2 more bucks each. So far they all seem to be hanging out nicely. What other fish are compatible with silver dollars?

Somehow I always get stuck with fin nippers. I have 2 silver dollars and one has eaten the fins off the other. I have plenty of spots for him to hide in the tank, but he just won't hide. I only have those 2 fish in there and 2 leopard bush fish in the tank. It's 80 gallons. I just haven't...

I had this exact problem with a female paradise fish I had about a year ago or so. I don't what started it and nothing seemed to fix it. I put her in a QT, but that didn't seem to be helping. She finally passed, but I'm pretty sure that was my fault. I forgot to plug the heater in after a...

I had a green cloud in my tank a couple of years ago. Light and left over food and waste will make the algae worse. You should only have the light on for about 8 hrs a day, I think. I'm not an expert. But, with an algae bloom you should cut the light down to even less. I finally had to do a...

I did a pwc tonight and will try to wait no more than 2 wks in between them. I need to go to the grocery store to pick up some zucchini. Thanks for your help. I'll post any progress I see.

Yes, they are the best!

Yes, that's my Bogart! My first parrot. She's a quaker parrot. I found out she was a girl after I named her Bogart. She already says her name, so I decided not to change it. Is that your African Gray on your avatar? Beautiful bird!

Thank you for the advice. I'll try to be better about the pwc!

So, do you actually vacuum with every water change? If not, how often to vacuum the bottom?

I knew the question of water change was going to come up. It's been awhile. I have been really slacking w/ that I am ashamed to admit. Food wise, right now I am just feeding some Tetra flake food. Sometimes I will feed them some frozen blood worms or brine shrimp. I used to feed them the...

I have an 80g freshwater tank. I have 2 African Leaf Fish and 2 Silver Dollars and they haven't grown much. The leaf fish are only about an inch in length and the silver dollars are about an inch and an inch and a half. I also have a chinese algae eater that is also only about an inch in...

I bought the tetracycline and I also got some mela fix. Can I use the 2 together, or should I treat w/ the tetracycline 1st and then do the mela fix?

I don't know if this will help any, but here's a couple pics of my angel. He lost his fins to a fin nipper, but he is swimming and eating just fine. He has been like this for about a year.

Should I do a 20% water change first before using the tetracycline?

Ok. So I have tried an erythromycin powder for 5 days (as directed on the package) and my fish isn't getting any better. Should I try for another 5 day treatment, or should I try tetracycline? Is tetracycline a better antibotic than erythromycin?

I set up a 10 gal QT and I am using an erythromycin powder. Do fish normally recover from this sort of infection. She is still eating normally.

I have an angel on the other side of the divider. If I treat the tank with meds, do you think it could harm the angel?

No, I am not treating the tank with any meds.

I had my fish in another aquarium where I thought the big sore on her back was from one of the other fish. I moved her to another tank w/ a tank divider and after 2 weeks, the sore seems to only be getting worse. I have attached a link to the best pic I could snap. Also, at the bottom of the...
