Hi there, I have a 30 gallon goldfish aquarium which is 2.5months old, which is fully cycled. I added the fish and snails a few weeks ago, and now the water looks a little (not foggy, not murky), blurry? I'm trying to come up with the right word, but its just not crystal clear anymore. Have...

Hi there, I have had a very stable aquarium for the last several months, I test my water weekly and do a 25% water change to keep the nitrates in check (20ppm or less). Ammonia & nitrites are 0ppm. I noticed the other day that one of my skirts has a ragged top fin and tail fin, and the lower...

I noticed today that my smallest black phantom tetra seemed to have a little piece of what looks like white lint on the side of his body. When I look at him from his tail I can see this small particle sticking off the side of him. The other side of him seems to have a couple of small, pinprick...

Did anyone see this movie? If so, you'll remember the part where they discussed Dr. Masaru Emoto's study of water, and his proof (in photographs of crystalized water) that thoughts and feelings affect physical reality. Taken from the website below: "By producing different focused intentions...

Me again, still getting started..... So to recapp, I have a 10G tank, in which 3 black phantom tetras made their home some 6 weeks ago. They have never been much the active swimmers, so I chalked it up to them needing some new friends (which I was planning to do anyway). Yesterday I added 2...

Hi! I was away over the long weekend, and put in one of those 7-day fish feeder block things. Well, that was a total waste, it was all slimed up when I returned, didn't look like it released any food at all. The water had a murky look to it. So I removed the useless block, did a 25% water...

Just trying to figure out what the correct lighting is for my 10g aquarium. Should i use the hoodlight during the day? Or is daylight good enough? Also re: temperature, we live in a townhouse with no air conditioning, and the other day it got quite hot outside. I turned the heater way down, to...

I was just in the pet store today and noticed they keep the male bettas in small clear plastic cups with blue water. Why would that be? I would have asked a store person, but they were all busy. It seemed strange. The fish can't be comfy in such a little cup? HOw long will they stay in there? Do...

Thanks everyone for all your great suggestions in my previous thread about compatible fish. I'm taking the advice to cycle the tank completely before adding any more fish. So for now, its just the 3 of them. One question I have is about feeding, they aren't dive-to-the-top-for-the-food eaters...

I am new to this forum, this is my first post. I am also new to aquariums so please bear with me! I decided 2 weeks ago that my son needed fish, so off I went to the store and bought a 10gallon starter kit. I set it up, put all the necessary stuff in the water (to take the chlorine out, take...
