I recently bought 6 of these fish from an online vendor. They all see really happy and healthy but I noticed that there was only one female in the group. The owner of my LFS said that the males said that the males would kill the female by their constant advances. Is this true and if so is there...

Yes all plants are within 6" of a root tab. I also add about 3 mg of flourish comprehensive after my weekly water change. As far as I can tell the rosette swords new leaves stay stunted to about half of the size of the original leaves with some wrinkling, while the older leaves are turning...

Sorry it's been so long without any updates but here you go. I lost 2 bloodfins and one false julii to what I believe is osmotic shock after I accidentally did a 75% water change because I was distracted by pruning. The rest seem to be doing fine. I have added Amazon sword in the back left...

I have around 12 juvenile buenos aires tetras (around 3/4" long) that I would like to get rid of. I live in Brentwood northern CA (east of San Francisco) and would prefer not to ship them. I would like 1$ per fish, plants or a true julii Cory would be a welcome trade. Please pm me for more...

The outbreak killed every one of my fish. The tank was then broken down and sterilized. These fish have only been in for about a week. I bought the fish from the same place as last time and even though all the fish in the tank looked healthy the next day one of the fish was showing classic...

One of my bloodfin tetras has a pimple or hornlike growth on his lower lip. I have seen cases of it before, (it destroyed my tank over the summer) but this would be presenting in an unusual way. Normally deterioration of the jaw appears on the same day that the white growth does, along with...

I'm not sure where I would put a large sword maybe In the back left corner Growing up around the driftwood? Or maybe a Lilly would work better there. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Well, I've got my tank up and running again after columnaris and neglect from my fish sitter over the summer killed all of my fish, and I believe adversity can be an opportunity in disguise. The tank is doing better than ever! I've already had buenos aires tetras that were in the tank for less...

After columnaris destroyed my tank over the summer, I sterilized everything and and have almost finished cycling the tank. It is heavily planted with a sand substrate. I want a community tank with a large school of small fish (neon tetra sized), an attention getting fish that can draw your eye...

All the other bloodfins (the only fish atm) are perfectly happy and healthy. And if anything his condition has improved a bit. He no longer seems to be running out of oxygen. He still won't eat food though. So, assuming it is an injury, would it heal before he starves to death or should I just...

It could be an injury, the woman at the fish store was having a lot of trouble catching one of them. I've also noticed that it is staying near the bubble stream in the corner of the tank, as if it's not getting enough oxygen. So what do i do about it?

I bought 3 blood fin tetras yesterday to fill out my depleted school. On of them has what looks like a growth coming out from its jaw. The mouth appears normal to me other than that lump. The fish can't eat, every time it tries the food just bumps into its face, like it can't produce any...

I went to petco today and saw this plant, no one could identify it so the manager gave me a bunch free. What is it?

Will cories of different species school together? I want to get a school of cories for my new tank but none of the LFS near me have enough of one species, so would they be okay if I bought a couple different species or does the school need to be only one species?
