So I was going to do our water change last night, but I fell asleep while reading to my son and crawled into my own bed at 11;00. So I just did it now and this was by first time using a siphon and I am not sure I did it correctly(sucking up the rocks), there is a lot of floating stuff that I...

It is a Submersible aquarium heater by Aqueon. 50 watt (so up to 20 gallons) It was set to 86 and like I said it was fine this morning. and Then at like 2 I noticed the temp was at 90. But I had left the lights on. The tank itself was from a kit my mother in law purchased at walmart. All...

So here is my placement in the 50 gallon. I placed the powerhead, which had one of those hoses for outside air, toward the top. Per your suggestion I took the hose out because you were right, LOTS of bubbles! I put two of the hoses on their own connector spots with the little stones. I...

I am feeling so lost.

:( Okay so I was directed to buy a petco aquatic air pump (bubbler) for both of my aquariums. I was going to get an air pump yesterday (since I am upping the temps) and I just FORGOT. I have so much information, and new stuff....and babies.... and GAH ! I got the bubblers home and these...

UGh, back to the Pet store again today. :( The heater in the 50 is a cheap one from walmart my husband picked up. And it is suppose to get to 85 and its not even to 80 after being cranked up over night. I love my husband but its in his genetics to grab the cheapest thing available. I...

LOL, well good to know its going to be easy to do with lots of distractions because i have a pre-schooler(3 yearold)and 1 year old who are constantly are all over me and get WAY excited when I am even NEAR the fish tanks. You should hear how loud my 1 year old makes the sssshhhhhhh (she is...

Thank you for the suggestions. I had to purchase a different heater for the 10 because the other one we had was a SET 76 degree one. I also went ahead and got the salts. I put everyone up a degree, starting that process. And I purchased this siphon thing for our rocks because we haven't been...

It is really easy to change water in that tank. I am going to have to filter the rocks as well, but have never done this. i do have a gravel vacuum (siphon-kleen). He seems to be swimming around a lot more than he was and sometimes his fins are up. But I am seeing little bright white spots on...

It doesn't look to me like fin rot. i went through google images, but I do see some white spots on him, some on fins and there might be some on body. This is probably ick. :( :'( Which might mean that everyone is infected. :( now I am going to panic....... What is the best way to attack this...

Po seems a lot happier/perky after we changed the water (50%), he even ate last night. He was still hiding this morning when I first came downstairs but seems perkier and swimming a lot better. Just a bit ago I saw he was swimming about the tank. i tried feeding him but either he didn't...

S. O. B. We just let the ladies out, and I am pretty **** positive that the doofus that was working got me 2 mollies. Platys and female mollies look very similar to me :( I had a one year old excited yelling and pointing and flopping around as i was trying to talk to the guy and he kept...

Are those good enough pictures?

Oh I really hope not :( That sounds awful. What do i do for him? We decided after seeing the prices at the store to get the test kit through amazon (we get stuff from them within two days). 18 dollars compared to 30 at the store!!! And we will be getting the Water exchanger as well (50...
