So I got a few snails, Im assuming, on the plants I put in my tank. There was probably a dozen or so, so I went and got a pair of assassin snails to take care of them. The two assassin snails have been doing nothing but breedingfor like 3 months. They are on each other all day, everyday, its...

I have noticed that one of my Dwarf Neon Rainbows is acting a little odd. They normally all school together but this guy is keeping to himself. He seems to be breathing very fast (mouth constantly opening and closing), and over the last couple of...

I have been trying to read up more on stocking levels, and there just seems to be a lot of conflicting information. I resorted to using Aqadvisor but then I've read that it is VERY conservative in its estimations... There doesn't seem to be a concrete answer...how many fish can be in my tank...

I just found one of my Oto's floating...I'm wondering, why would a fish die for no apparent reason? The tank is cycled and healthy. Great water parameters. Perfect temperature. Lots of plants and healthy fish. No disease. They get fed twice a day. There is lots of algae for the Oto's. He...

I've been using AqAdvisor to figure out my stock and I'm getting nearly full. I have an idea of what I might want, but I'd like some other options to consider for the heck of it. Right now I have: 5 Lemon Tetras 5 Red Zebra Danios 5 Glass Catfish (well, 4 at the moment, one vanished but will be...

Im currently running a 75 gallon low light setup. I have 2 48" 40 watt T8 fixtures with Hagen Life Glo bulbs. They are All-Glass fixtures and seem to have really good reflectors. My plants are doing EXTREMELY well; everything I have put in there grows like crazy, so Im quite satisfied. Im...

Hey all. I just picked up 5 Glass Catfish for my tank and I'm just wondering if their odd behavior is normal... I put them in yesterday...almost 24 hours ago...and they have pretty much been in hiding since. They are actually near impossible to find, I can only see three of them at any given...

I set up my tank about 2 weeks ago, and added fish about a week ago. This is my first planted tanked....its a heavily planted 75 gallon and there is a lot of new growth; its going really well! I started with 2 SAE, 2 Oto's, and 5 Lemon Tetra. I know when I did non-planted before I would have...

I have a new 75 gallon, fairly heavily planted tank, and now Im considering some fish! There are a few types I know I want and I just want to make sure they will be ok together. I would like to get Angels, Boesemani Rainbows, Blue Harlequin Rasboras, and an Albino Bushy Nose Pleco. Im not sure...

Ive just finished setting up my new 75 gallon planted tank and Im wondering about the water quality tests. Im familiar with Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite, but I dont know aboug the rest. I tested my PH and it seems to be neutral at 7.0 (good thing?). The GH is less than 20mg/L, and the KH is...

Hi All. I've been going through tons and tons of posts trying to figure out what to do and Im just stumped with all the information available...Im hoping some of you folks can give me some advice. I have been out of the aquarium game for quite a while, and even when I had one it was a simple 37...
