I am doing a water change in a few minutes and I'll go get some prime. I'll retest after the water change. Thank you for both of your advice! I would NEVER of bought fish from Walmart myself but I couldn't just kill the fish my husband had just bought and knew they wouldn't take them back...

Somebody please help!! Their behavior has become a little more odd, they went from being overly docile to overly active. One of them never moves around much even when he/she's feeling fine and even that one is moving around enough to make me nervous. I really don't want to wake up to my previous...

I upgraded from a 10 to a 20 gallon tank a little over a month ago. I have 5 Tiger Barbs and one I believe what is a common Pleco. This has nothing to do with my problem but I sent my husband to the store a while ago to get an algae eater (with a list of specific species that would be ok) and...

Is it possible that it could be from your plants? I'm a beginner fish keeper so I'd ask a pro fish person before taking any action if it would be possible for a plant to cause a problem. But I haven't seen anyone suggest plants causing health problems in fish, is it possible a plant could be the...

I just upgraded my 10 gallon aquarium to a 20 gallon. Here are my parameters: pH: 7.0 - 7.2 (can't tell the difference) Ammonia: 0.50 ppm Nitrite: 0.25 ppm Nitrate: 40 or 80 (also can't tell the difference in color, both look the same to me) I have 5 Tiger barbs that are usually fairly docile...

Thanks I looked at the other post too. Didn't notice it before posting my question, sorry! What about the filter, do I need to keep it under water somehow? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am moving 6 hours away and need advice on how to transport my 5 Tiger Barbs without harming them. Should I just lower the water in their tank and move them in the tank itself? I also have jars I can put one fish each in with water from their tank.. Then I'd keep most of the water in the tank...

Thank you!! I guess I could of given a little bit more information, sorry! They are a school of tiger barbs. And they are the rocks that are used as a floor for the aquarium, they are the largest size I could buy in a large bag at the local pet store. I had bought 2 bags emptied both in their...

I feel like there is way too many rocks in my aquarium and want to remove a like half of them so the fish can have almost an inch more of space at the bottom. I won't be harming the bacterial environment if I do that will I? And I'm assuming I should do this before I do my cleaning since I'll be...

Giving our Betta the 10 gallon is a great idea!! He certainly deserves it if he survives what my daughter did to him! Not that he didn't deserve it before, he just deserves it even more now. He did make it through the night last night and I'll be monitoring him closely today, fingers crossed!!

Thank you, I'm doing just that! He made it through the night last night, I will be keeping a close eye on him today! He's survived Ich, Fin Rot and some kind of parasite since we got him about 4 or 5 months ago. I've learned a lot from him and I feel terribly guilty that he has had to suffer as...

I've been reading over other topics for a while now and finally feel like I've done enough research that I have begun to really understand aquarium life! I have gone through enough fish while learning about the cycling process that you could call me a fish serial killer. But I finally have a...

My 3 year old daughter thought she'd help me out by cleaning the one gallon beta tank by herself, without my permission or supervision! She tried catching the beta with her hand, managed to grab it and squeeze it! I am unsure how hard. He is still alive but is breathing heavily and laying at the...
