Here is my plant. Anubis Nana. Look healthy? It is lighter in this picture by like 2 or 3 shades. (The light one is what the others look like and the light one is a shade or two lighter than the others) Also I am doing this off of Petcos advice lfs is WAY to rude and pushy. Won't go back again...

I bought an Anubis Nana and another plant but have no idea how to do it. There is no where that I can find that gives me step by step instructions on what to do. I already put them in my tank since I don't want to kill them. (The tank is cycled) it is a 5 gallon with a 10 gallon filter (don't...

I looked online and at the time this was the best heater. (Will put picture) It is for a betta tank. 5 gallons with him and a snail. Comments? Yes or no? Suggestions? Sent from my LGLS990 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Have a few questions about Fungus. 1. How do I know its healing? He is "shedding" but I am not sure it is healing. 2. Have no measurements. Bought him on a whim and can only find half of the freshwater kit and have no vials. Needless to say he is getting 25% water changes everyday since...

Was gone for a week. Got home fish were defineatly overfed. Found a test tube broke so doing my tests now slowly. Did 50% water change. 3 fish died and fish store wouldn't take balsa shark (catfish) back so he is back in the tank. Sadly. Can't remember name of the fish but he is normally dark...

I am having a MAJOR brain fart sort of. I have always had good levels on my parameters beside pH but with the fish I have they are fine. BUT now that I have added more fish my Nitrate went up to 10ppm, now I tested before I cleaned the tank out and did the water change just to see what the...

So once again Hubby comes home with fish for my birthday. Which is Wednesday. Except I think they sold him a catfish and he swears its a iridescent balsa shark. Can I get some help on identifying him or her please? Sorry about the messy pictures. I am waiting for everyone to eat so I can...

I have had my bubble eye goldfish for two weeks in a tank with an albino or pink Cory,a schwartzi Cory and a Julii Cory. Everyone gets along great but I have noticed my bubble-eye goldfish is having problems with a bubble of his. Its turning black on the bottom. It looks like mold how its...

So we finally moved in and set my tank back up which took a while since everything dried up but three weeks ago i started the cycle. Now done bought my betta and forgot one of my biggest problems in my excitement to get fish started again. THE PH IS CRAZY. I have the API pH test kit and even...

Our stuff is going to have to be in storage for two weeks since the new place won't be ready till then so is there anyway I can make it to where I don't have to 're-cycle my tank or is there no way around it? My betta is going to be in the one gallon tanks since we can't set up the tank at the...

Obviously this isn't a first time thing if my betta isn't that freaked and I was wondering if anyone else deals with this and if it will affect my tank? I am assuming it won't and everyone is getting bigger and appear to be thriving but when I took my homemade cover off my son ripped it so I am...

My overly zealous two year old decided to help me feed the fish... Yes it is as bad as you think Since I was busy and he is a sneaky little kid I didn't notice till hours later. And by then I decided to vacuum it out and here is my end result. Yes that pink blur is a fake plant...

My husband is going to kill me. I bought a 5 gallon tank today and will be buying a 55 tomorrow... Fish should come with a warning. Seriously. So couple of questions. 1. Have a cycled 3 gallon and can I put the filter and 2 gallons on the new tank and run it and it will work or do I have to...

Got a used 5 gallon and getting a used 55 gallon tomorrow. The 55 won't be up for atleast 2 months since we are moving but how do I clean the tank? Vinegar and water, water, salt and water? And if I use salt does it have to aquarium salt or can I use household salt?

What's the website to see if you are overstocked? It's aqasomething.com

I have watched the different YouTube videos and between the syringe and the ball which one is easier? How exactly do they work? The syringe video didn't show how to get the suction going... And for the ball do I poke a hole in it for the water to come out?

Hubs wants a saltwatertank and I am buying a five gallon tank later today off of craigslist. Is it possible to have a 5 gallon saltwater tank? Or is it not worth the effort? I am going to do small since he is like a child and will get bored easily with it. And being a SAHM with 2 children...

Does anyone know when petco is having their next dollar per gallon sale? All the fish tanks here are 75+ gallon tanks and that's too much for me. I don't have that much time to take care of something that big and the thought is overwhelming and daunting to be completely honest.

Hopefully hubs gets paid enough so I can buy then buy them a 40+ gallon tank but I have been testing my water every other day and doing water changes when needed. But for those of you who have been helping me and shaking your head for my poor fish and their confined quarters. They have seemed to...

I can hear him racing around the tank... Has never happened in the four days with a filter and before then for the week I owned him. Not normal behavior and I think now with my talk more stable and with all my levels correct(they were 24 hours ago) he is becoming more active and challenging the...

This is completely off topic but reading some of the stuff you guys come up with you guys are pretty thrift and creative. I have candles that I really like. Sun kissed leaves and vanilla icing. Even better my husband likes the smells!! Do you think it's possible for me to melt the candle wax...

I have a 3 gallon tank with no filter and heater (on the way!!!) I do 25% water change 2-3 days and once a week a complete 100 percent tank cleaning. Has no idea ph nitrates or anything like that just beginning and no one said anything about that when we bought the fish tank. No live plants all...

I would like to start "growing plants" and start a list of all I would need to do it but... I clicked on the sticky thread the beginners guide to planted tanks. (The first one) and it said page not found, is there another link and no one has edited it yet? If not can someone post a link so I can...

So I have separated my betta and pleco due to two pink bumps on the plecos head. I did see the betta around the pleco a couple of days ago and I am sure that I stressed him out to an extreme the first time I changed his water. Actual question: if it is an injury then he shouldn't have anymore...
