Could you id this rock for me please.

Always have problems with ph and alkalinity. Ph is about 6.0 and alkalinity is lowest on chart. I have 30 gallon with cories and tetras. Any ideas on how to raise these naturally. If not how about chemical wise. I do have live plants also.

They are to small to take pictures of. I got 4 marimo moss balls recently. Claimed to be 100% snail free. 3 weeks later tank is over run with snails. Only recent to tank I almost a year so I knowout came from those. No idea what kind of snails. Any ideas other then assassin snail to get rid of?

Thanks I'll ask around

I purchased 4 large marimo moss balls from Amazon. They look great. 3 weeks later my tank is over run with snails even though claimed to be snail free. It's only new addition to tank in probably a year so I know it was from them. Any ideas on what kind they could be? To small still fire...

Algae wafers and tetramin complete for bottom feeders

Just did a water change 9-9. I fed them on opposite sides of tank but he still bothers them

Thanks I'll try

I have 6 cories and 1 bristlenose pleco in my 30 gallon tank. He seems to be bullying them one in particular. They're all larger then pleco. But today notice one has beat up dorsal fin and red mark on body? Feeding time especially is bad. I put food on opposite ends of tank but doesn't matter...

Can you keep red tailed sharks with cories? And also can you keep odessa barbs with red tail shark and cories?

Have a powder blue dwarf gourami it's hiding in corner,bloated,lethargicand not eating. Been going on 2 days. From what I've read could be constipation. Not sure can anyone help? All other fish are fine.

I've been using purigen in my tank it's time to recharge. Directions aren't very clear on how to recharge it. It's say 1:1 bleach water and soak in prime after. But then it says for freshwater use a buffer. Doesn't specify prime is for saltwater so which one is it?

Did end up getting purigen. Unbelievable the difference. Water is clearer then I thought possible.

Ok thanks I just did it last week apparently I need to do it more often. I usually squeeze and rinse sponge in bucket of tank water. But, apparently will have to clean entire thing.
