This is really helpful! Thanks!

Thank you coralbandit. Are cories sensitive to salt? I think I remember reading that somewhere. I have some of that on hand. I will have to see if I have Furan.

What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.).* It's a juvenile julii cory. I have had it in my tank for at least 3 months. It is still active. It looked fine yesterday but I noticed...

Thanks for the replies! I will probably try combo of the suggestions. :thumb:

Hi everyone, I try to give my tanks a good scrub with my mag float and an aquarium dedicated sponge once a week. Usually this does the trick of staving off any algae build up on the glass. However, today I noticed that the corners of my tank have a green line near the silicone. Does anyone...

Just noticed one of my hatchet fish swimming straight up and down. Any idea what is wrong? Hatchet fish have been in my tank for at least 4 months. Tank has been cycled for at least 6 months. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yeah the shrimp and guppies were fine. I have been having hair algae problems on my 5 gallon (not the death tank) so I bought a phosphate test kit from api. I tested phosphates in the ten gallon (where the deaths occured) and the results seem to be pretty high: 2 ppm. Could that be causing...

So I was gone for 9 days on a road trip. I have three tanks: 5 gallon with a betta and a rabbit snail; 29 gallon community; and 10 gallon with 5 guppies, a mystery snail, a CPO and a small RCS colony. I did water changes on all aquariums right before taking off. All perameters were great: 0...

He is doing really well! I am very happy with him. I will post pics tomorrow. (I just got back from a road trip.) His fins are healing up nicely! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I like the beginning with the fish and the hardscape ideas. I think part of my problem is just not knowing the different aq plants very well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thank you for the reading recommendations. I will definitely keep the walstad book in mind Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi everyone! I started fish keeping this summer and I have been enjoying it a lot. I have a book on aquarium plants and another book on identifying fish disease. Are there other books that might be useful to me? I don't have a huge budget ( I assume that if law books can get to $700 per book...
