The Algae is green, and everywhere. She has had the light off for days. The tank has only been up about 2 weeks. We cycled the tank by seeding it with used filter media from my tank and she has not tested the water yet. I cant get her to understand how important it is, especially when cycling.

I setup a 10 gal for my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago. She is getting massive algae growth covering the tank walls and the decorations. I told her to keep the light off and she has but it is still not going away. The back of the tank is at a window, however the backing blocks it and I dont see...

Guys, I have no snails in my main tank after a lot of hard work. I put them in a 2 gal betta tank because I didn't want to kill them and I was originally asking if it was healthy for my betta to be flaring at them although he seems to have calm down. I will remove egg sacs as I find them so my...

So I should take the stem that has the egg sacs out?

No, I did not buy them. I purchased a couple plants from a local Petsmart and obviously didn't inspect and wash enought. Three weeks later I had about 8 snails

Thanks. He has never flared before and I didn't know if it was to much stress for him. I have never had bettas but my girlfriend took on to much. Now I bought her a 10 setup and she wants to rush everything. She can't understand why my fish have been alive and healthy for so long and her's...

Hi Everybody, I asked you all about some pond snails that appeared in my tank a little while back. Well, instead of freezing them(I am a sucker for underwater creatures) I just put my betta in a bigger setup and put all 8 of the snails I had in with him. My question is that he seems to be...

Hey Fishy Fanatic, thank you for moving it. I am sorry I didn't even see the breeding forum, sorry to cause you work. In response you said 4-6 weeks. Could she have been pregnant when I got her 2 months ago and it took this long? She has got increasingly bigger within a week.

Can anybody tell me how long it takes for Tiger Barbs to bread?

Dude, My Tiger Barbs eat anything but I wouldn't be feeding them that!! When you don't know what that is.

Thanks for all the help, however I may need a little more. I am not home from 8:00am til 11:30pm M-F. Class-then work so it is a long time. The powerhead method is probably not going to work because I am gone to long to monitor it. I don't think it is a good idea to run my ac all day every...

Hi Everybody. I am glad this topic came up because I am having this problem right now. I live on the 5th floor and it is very hot when I am not home. Only a couple of warm days so far and my water was around 83. God help me in July! Can somebody please clarify tbonem91's suggestion about...

The chiller at thatpetplace.com is more than 104.00 because you have to buy a seperate controler to set the temp. which runs about 54.00.

Hey my Tiger Barbs are doing the same thing except two of them have paired off and they appear to be touching each others lips almost as if their kissing and rubbing against each other. I don't know what I will do because I absolutely love my barbs and I have never had baby fish and I would...

I fill mine just so I can't see the line as well. It is kind of funny because if it evaporates and drops below the trim I get all upset because I swear the water line is a smidge lower on the right side. My girlfriend tells me I am crazy and it's not. Maybe I am obsessed? Maybe some people...
