Tank is cycled. Water condition is good. One of my panda cories developed fungus on his fin. I tried treating him by wiping the fungus off with Qtip and light salt baths and he didn't make it. Few days later, another one showed fungus so I'm not risking the previous method again and treating...

My tank is fairly new and I got 2 bamboo shrimp, which I shouldn't have. One seems to been filter feeding fine the whole day, but the other one is constanly foraging. I tried feeding fined algae water directly but most just go on the substrate and foul the water. Everytime I did that, next...

It's a community jungle with RCS. My current HOB filter that came with my tank is way too strong. Messing up my plants and pushing my shrimps away from the waterwall. Can someone recommend me a suitable filter? Will be using CO2 during lighting periods, if that makes a difference in what filter...

A friend bought me these two bunch that I have no idea what they are and how to grow them. Will they grow by themselves with sufficient lighting? Spread or get taller? Also I'm planning on making a moss carpet and I have a 6" pleco that will most likely keep on growing. Since he tends to stir...

Went to a store in the area and I see some orange crayfish that's just labeled 'Orange Lobster' and the worker also called it a lobster. Is there another type of crayfish that is orange other than the dwarf? Because from what I saw, their adult size was over 5 inches.
