I restarted my tank and am currently in the process of cycling it. I have a 30"x12"x15" tank (23.4US gallons) and plan to make it a low-light planted aquarium with something like three 6500K CFL (26 watt GE energy smart daylight) bulbs hanging overtop. I have soil and a gravel cap. I have an...

Hey everyone! Haven't been here in a while. Hope you're all well. I have a 23G long (30lx12wx15h). I had a nice set-up with gravel and fake plants for quite some time... looking to start a planted aquarium now. Perhaps with soil and the gravel on top. I have purchased a multipurpose plant food...

Hey everyone. My angels are about 10 months old now and I've noticed that when they die it's without anything odd on their body. When they die they just lie on the bottom of the aquarium and try to swim. Today I found one with the same symptoms but a ripped fin as well. I put a bit of Melafix...

Hey everyone. I have a 23G tank with around ten juvenile angelfish and their mother. Their father died today and I checked the parameters. Ammonia and nitrites were 0, pH was around 7 but nitrates were in the 40-160ppm range. What can I do to decrease this??? I tested it a few days ago and it...

Hey guys. I got a nice big clump of java moss from a friend and I'm not sure what to do with it. What requirements does it have? I currently have it in a small plastic bin in water with a lamp on it for 5 hours a day. It is bright and green and seems healthy but I don't want to put it in my main...

Hey everyone! I have a friend who wants to keep goldfish but I haven't kept these before so I wanted to ask here. So she wants to keep 1 Black Moor goldfish and 2 Fantails. Her LFS will sell them to her as fry. How big of a tank should she get and what filter? Thanks. Namirah

Hi everyone, I want to make use of my 1G (possibly less, how can I find out the gallonage of it?) 'fish' bowl. Obviously not going to put fish in there but I really like snails and shrimp and was wondering if a couple of either could go in there(?). Any suggestions? I already have gravel, a...

Hi everyone. I have a 23G (setting up a much larger tank soon, I know it's too small) with a young angelfish pair and their 18 or so fry (more than a month old now). I've had the tank for a bit more than a year and I haven't had this problem before. My female angel's mouth is wide open and it...

Went to my LFS today to check out the guppy fry (which were really cute as usual)... ...when I glanced at the Comet Goldfish tank. I was so upset to see this. I lost it when a kid came and said "they look so cute sleeping!" I quickly told him and his mother that they definitely aren't...

Hiya everyone! I'm Namirah and I know next to nothing about saltwater, except the names of a few species. I have kept freshwater for a few years now but I would like to try saltwater. What is the minimum tank size for a saltwater aquarium with fish and corals? And what are the basic things that...

Hey everyone! I got a fish tank with this fish recently and was wondering what type it is. There isn't much algae in the tank so what can I feed it before getting Algae tabs? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Hi everyone. I currently have a 23 gallon (AC50) with two young angelfish and their 40 or so fry. I don't have any live plants but am looking forward to buying some in the next few months. I notice that while feeding the angels (fry included) I tend to overfeed because they rarely go to the...

Hello everyone. Whenever I go to the doctor's I notice this fish in the tank. The one at the very front. Looks pretty cool. Sorry for the horrible quality, here's another pic but same grey fish. <g.m.t.a>

I just noticed there are tiny white worm-like creatures all over my glass. I have a 23 gallon long with two neon tetras, two angelfish and their fry. I had noticed a couple of these before but didn't think much of it. I do water changes/siphoning once a week, around 30%. Please help me identify...

Hey everyone, Since my angels have been spawning a lot recently I decided to create this thread for them. This is their first batch of fry that got to the free swimming stage (we used to have other fish) The eggs, laid Thursday, May 5, 2016 and hatched the following Saturday (7th)...

Help everyone!! I have mystery fry in my tank. In the past few months I've had angelfish fry but THESE ARE NOT ANGELFISH FRY. They're skinnier and darker. Please help me ID these fry! There are two in the pic. <g.m.t.a>

Hi everyone, my name is Namirah. :) I've been on this forum for a while but this is my first time exploring the saltwater section. I was looking into getting a small (5G at most) tank. As I am totally new to saltwater and know next to nothing about it this thread will be more me learning...

Hiya everyone! It's been a while since I was last on but I'm back now and want to do change up my tank since school's coming to an end and I'll have a lot more free time then. I currently have a 23 gallon tank with a 40 gallon filter. I have four danios, two neon tetras and two angelfish. I...

Hiya everyone, I have a 23 gallon long tank with two angelfish, five danios and two neon tetras. Looking to change up the tank a bit with new fish and some live plants, any suggestions? And if you could include how to take care of them too that would be great because I have no idea. Thank you...

I woke up this morning to my dad telling me to get rid of my aquarium if I wanted a cat ( xD ) AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS LAST TIME. What I mean by this, is that last summer (I think) we were planning to get rid of it (because we really can never find time to take care of them) and we...

I'm devastated. My male dwarf gourami is most likely dying on his side and he isn't moving except for his mouth and gills. I should've listened and returned him because I have another male in the tank but I wanted to wait until they got older since they were almost never aggressive with each...

Hi everyone, So my birthday is coming up soon (hurray!) and my parents said I can get a whole load of stuff for my aquarium. I'm hoping on getting some live plants and getting rid of/adding new fish. Currently I have: 2 Male Dwarf Gourami (I'm returning the smaller one due to aggression)...

Hi everyone! I have recently been blessed with three molly fry! I found them under my DW while cleaning out the tank and it really took me for surprise because I knew that mollies are always expecting but it's the first time I got fry. Basically, I'm really new to this as these are my first fry...

Hi there! I was watching an episode on discovery channel of one of my favourite series, Shark Week when I though "Hey, I wonder if anyone on AA watches this too!" So here I am, spreading the word about Shark Week, hoping to find others who enjoy it as much as I do. This event happens every year...
