    Ghost shrimp always hiding help needed

    The "Bottom Feeder/Shrimp" pellets are definitely made of shrimp! I feed those to my Corydoras catfish and was surprised to see my shrimp go at them the other day. Shrimp are cannibalistic and are not herbivores. They're scavengers. If there's a dead shrimp in the tank they'll eat it. They'll...

    29 gallon angelfish community

    The Angels will most likely eat the tetras or be nipped by them or vice versa. Angels should be in larger groups and definitely in a larger tank. 6" per fish in adult size! They need room to swim Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Need help Gold severum

    To me they both look like males which is strange. They may just be larger females! A female fish (many egg-laying fish will do this) will lay eggs whether or not she has a male to fertilize them. They will simply "die" if gone without fertilization and either need to be removed from the tank or...

    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm tired of losing fish.

    Did you cycle your tank before you put the fish in to establish the bacterial balance in it? Also, causes of whacky levels could be over feeding. I'd say a lot of fish waste but danios don't really create much waste. A good thing to invest in is the Jungle Complete Water Care Kit. ($4 at...

    questions

    One more thing! Loaches are VERY salt-sensitive. For Jungle brand salt (Walmart) use no more than 2-3 tablespoons per 10 gallons. For most other brands its teaspoons. Just follow the instructions. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    questions

    From what I've both researched and experienced, guppies don't do so well with salt. Mollies and platies Do much better with aquarium salt in the water, but even mollies like brackish water (marine salt not aquarium salt.) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Dwarf Gouramis

    I have a 29 gallon heavily planted tank, and three dwarf gourami. Two of the three are full size, the other is about 1.5 inches at the moment. I took the chance with the possibility of aggression but there is none. Is this normal? I know that's a strange question to ask, but they seem to be such...

    Are my balloon mollies carrying?

    I have seven balloon mollies in my tank, 6 female and one male. I had two males up until today, the aggressiveness was too high for my community tank. Ive noticed changes in appetite in three of my females, and two seemed to be getting larger and more squared out. The other female's gravid spot...
