Are they okay to keep in a community tank? I am dying for one and right now have a 30 gal with a bunch of neons and some feeders

About six months ago I got bullfrog tadpole (kind of by accident) and he is just now finally almost a frog. He still has most of his tail, when do I need to take him out of the tank he is in now and place him in his own habitat? Also, how deep does the water need to be in his own habitat...

Do acfs molt? I noticed something floating around in my tank the other day that looked like a ribbon of milky water (kind of like when you dose with a white medication) and just now I looked at him and he has this film coming off of his stomach. Is he molting? If so should I hold of feeding...

I wanted to boil it but I don't have a pot big enough, that is why I have started soaking now. I'm just worried I am going to spend all this time soaking it but the point will be mute if it dries out and still turns my water brown

In August I am setting up a 30 long planted tank. I have a piece of driftwood that I am soaking right now to get the tannins out but my question is if I soak it now and let it dry out before August will the tannins come back? That might be a stupid question but I have battled with tannins before...

definitely a barb. There are several different general medications for wounds like that that you should try treating available at any fish store!

I wish I knew off the top of my head, I'll have to wait until I go into work tomorrow to see what it is called. I had a customer come in with the same problem and the owner of my store gave her this certain medication and she came back a couple days later saying that the fish was much better. I...

also make sure you have a heater in the tank, fish are more susceptible to infections like ick when they are too cold

It sounds to me like the fish has something called dropsy, pine coning is very common with dropsy. There are medications for that and I have seen mollies come back from it after being medicated. The nitrates must have come from the overfeeding but its puzzling that they continue to spike after...

There are medications for mouth rot! most fish stores will have them because it is pretty common. I can't tell from the picture if he still has it though, it will look red and inflamed and almost like an open wound would. If I were you I would definitely try to treat it, most medications run...

there's a high light on the tank but there is lots of shade available, will he find the shade on his own or do I need to turn off the light?

When I move into my new apartment in August I am going to be setting up a planted 30 long. I have a T5 HO light and the substrate will be black fluorite. I work at a fish store so I can get virtually anything I want but I was wondering if you guys could give me a few suggestions on some cool...

I work at a fish store and we got a tadpole in our bag of feeders today. I took him home because I have a planted tank and there was really no good place we could put him at the store but I know nothing about them! What do they eat? What do they need? Any advice would be awesome! also he is a...

I just started this account but I've been a member here before. I work at a fish store and own 4 freshwater tanks. I love to help people in the hobby and am about to need a lot of advice on the planted tank adventure I am about to embark on!
