I have a german blue ram that started showing these red worms yesterday. She is currently in a ten gallon quarantine tank but from my reading I am pretty sure that I need to all of my tanks... I am going to try Safe-guard (fenbendazole without a prescription) Has anyone ever used it before? I...

I have a 55 gallon planted aquarium that is a community tank. My water readings are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate. I have two female german blue rams, one is completely colored and beautiful, the other is extremely pale and really shows no color. She is keeping her fins slightly cramped...

I am picking up a new tank tonight and my head is spinning with possibilities! It is a 150 gallon aquarium 72" long 23" high (I believe the standard dimensions for this size). I currently have a planted 55 gallon so I am considering just moving everything over and increasing the numbers of my...

I have been looking for a large tank to turn into a discus tank and I finally found one on craigslist. It is a 150 gallon tank for 100 so I hate to pass on it. However I noticed in the pictures sent to me that there is cracking in the top plastic going around the tank. It is in the front and...

I have a new tank, not yet cycled, and my cory cats are dropping like flies. I ended up with two apple snails, three ghost shrimp, a powder blue dwarf gourami, and one black skirt tetra after a family member had a bad experience with fish keeping... So I set up a 29 gallon that I had in my...

I currently have two freshwater aquariums (a 55 gallon planted community tank, and a 29 gallon community tank with silk pants). I am looking for a third project. I am thinking something larger... I was initially leaning towards salt water but the cost is not do-able for a few more years. Now...

This is my first planted tank and I have 4 banana plants. Three have stayed small and grown new new leaves but one is out of control. In the past three days it has grown what I thought was the start of a new leaf but it has now reached the top of the water line! This is a 55 gallon tank! Is...

I have a 55 gallon planted aquarium and have had no issues with snails until my last plant purchase. I purchased the plants online and when i got them home I left them in 2 gallons of tap water until I had time to plant them later that day. I planted them and never noticed anything on them...

I am just starting into saltwater and I have decided that I would like to eventually have a 40 gallon reef. I found this local ad on craigslist but since I just started researching about sumps and drilling tanks I am not sure of this is an alright setup. I have attached the pictures supplied...

I am redoing my current 29 aquarium. It was an all in one yard sale purchase a couple years back. I am planning on using sand substrate (first go at this - always used gravel) and I have not decided on live vs fake plants yet (I have a planted 55 gallon, but I have some snails from another...

I am going to be putting together a 40 gallon breeder for my first saltwater. I am going to start out as fish only and move up to a reef tank with mostly soft corals. I like the smaller more community fish like clowns, chromis, and cardinals. The only thing I have decided on for sure is the...

I currently have a 55 gallon aquarium that is sitting empty. However it is older and I am not sure that I trust how well it is sealed and I have never resealed a tank myself. My other option is purchasing a 40 gallon breeder. This will be my first saltwater tank ever... Looking at the...

I have a 55 gallon planted aquarium that completed a fishless cycle and has now had fish in it for a month. About a week ago I noticed one priscillia tetra with a slightly bulging eye and red on his gills that looked like blood but was under the skin. The next day one of my scissortail...

I have a planted 55 gallon aquarium with one fish that looks sick. I have a priscillia tetra with red gills on one side and slightly bulging eyes. However, in the past 24 hours I have lost one neon tetra, one priscillia tetra, one scissortail rasbora, and one of my cory cats. I can find...

I just got some water lettuce and anarchis today, now how do I keep it in place... The water lettuce is staying in one corner which is fine but the anarchis is rolling all over the place and getting stuck in other plants. Right now I have it tied together at the end and stuck behind my filter...

I purchased these two over the weekend and I am pretty sure that they are both females. Anyone agree or disagree? Sent from my LG-LS970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I finally finished rearranging things today and added my last fish. I added a cave structure today and now I am not sure if my filter intake is in a good spot. It was originally 4 inches from the gravel bottom, but now with the cave I took one section out. It was about 1/4 inch away from the...

I previously had a 29 gallon setup and have recently moved to a 55 gallon planted aquarium My husband and I's taste in fish are no where close to the same. I enjoy most community fish and he into odd ball things. My question stems from his snails... He has four of them (so far). As far as I...

My 55 planted aquarium has been running about 1.5 months total, it has had fish in it for two weeks (the plants have been in from day one). I am starting to notice a little bit of "slime/scum" on things in the past few days. I always planned on adding Otos but I am not sure when or how many...

I have always had fresh water aquariums and admired salt water but have never had one. I currently have a 55 gallon freshwater set up and running well so there is not much of a challenge to it anymore. I have two empty tanks at the moment and I am considering making one into a salt water. I...
