I was at the gravel in my tank and I found this! The loach ate the snail but the shell is still there. Have you ever seen a black snail like this??

I have a male blue ram and he has this 'thing' on the side if his body. Pictures attached. I bought a male and female together and the female came with Ich and later died :(. The male never displayed any signs if Ich. It's been a month or more now and I noticed this spot on the side of his body...

I'm not sure either! I was just told Amazon Sword and that doesn't really help since there are so many varieties out there.

My planted tank!

Get a pair of African dwarf frogs!

I have two african dwarf frogs!

We bought this plant and was told its an Amazon Sword but when I google Amazon Sword it doesn't look like one. What do you think?

The temp right now is at 82. The tank currently has two african dwarf frogs and the German Blue Ram. I looked this morning and the male has one single dot. I guess I'll be more patient and wait and hope for the best!

About three weeks ago we bought two German blue rams from PetSmart. They looked perfectly healthy but as soon as they were added to the tank the female exploded with Ich! The male had one spot and it was soon gone. We raised the heat, etc etc and the female looked like it was getting better but...

Good to know... Thanks!

I was wondering if live plants can survive with sand? Right now I have a layer of dirt with gravel over it but I'd much rather have white sand. My husband seems to think our plants won't do as well with sand but from all that I read... I think he might be wrong! Your advice is much appreciated.
