Hi! I bought a 35 gallon tank used with everything included, but I have noticed the RENA water heater doesn't seem to work. The light has been flashing for days which I read means that it isn't at the desired temperature. Anyone else have this problem? Thank you for any help!

We have a pipefish that won't eat and is just sitting at the bottom. As far as I can see he doesn't have any spots or bloating. We have a 29 gallon aquarium, using a 70 gallon biofilter, we have live sand and 1 live rock, 1 blue damsel, 1 small clownfish, and 1 turbo snail. We have been having...

I added two tablespoons of salt and some pima fix. Hopefully that helps the little guy! Thanks for your help everyone!

done and done. Thanks!

i tried but he won't sit still! i don't think he is an algae eater, he isn't anything my aunt stocked so we were thinking some sort of river fish (she lives in missouri). we just thought it was weird he didn't grow. is there a kind of freshwater salt we should get? would the salt we use for the...

my aunt gave me this fish out of her pond when she decided not to have a pond anymore (it was either take him or let him get flushed). we don't know what he is, he is about an inch long, silverish, with a black stripe down his middle. he hasn't grown. i attached the best pic of him i could get...

thanks for the help! I was just trusting the lfs but have started to do some research on my own. I have definitely received bad advice and sick fish from another lfs ( we stopped going there) so I am leery of them!

thanks for the advice! Our lfs is going to do the first water test friday to make sure everything is ok and that we know how to test the water correctly. I didn't think fake pants would be a good idea but we have a lot left from our freshwater so I thought I'd ask!

my fiance and I are currently letting our 29 gallon cycle for 6 days with the salt, filter, and sand to prepare it for fish. We are running a penguin bio for a 70 gal tank. Are there any tips or tricks we need to know? What are our best starter fish? Do we have to have live plants or is it ok to...

good idea! Thank you !

I have a 30 gallon aquarium. I had my airstone in a cabin decoration with only 2 holes to let bubbles out. I bought a coral with a lot of holes coming out and it seems to affect the fish, especially my anglefish and black moor. I unplugged it, are there any tricks to making the airflow less...

I have an apple snail in my 30 gallon and he does really good :)

that makes sense, he does root around in the rocks a lot. Thanks!

I recently rehomed my aggressive gourami and put the black moor back in the community after treating him with Melafix. We have been gone for a day, I fed them the night before we left and we just got home. He has been swimming around just spitting stuff out, but it isn't after he eats anything...

I had to rehome a gourami of ours because he was picking on the black moor, and I have noticed that the golden loach has started chasing him around. The gouarmi seemed a lot more aggressive than the loach, and the loach is not normally aggressive. Should I rehome him (I want to keep the black...
