I just added some new plants into my established tank on Wednesday and today I've noticed my Anubias' leaves are beginning to turn clear and some of my Sagittaria leaves are fading away. I dosed the tank with Seachem Flourish and put root tabs in the gravel and they're under 144 watts in a 60...

I just purchased some Anubias, Java Fern, Elodia, and Sagittaria subulta. I have some Seachem Flourish, but is this enough to keep my plants healthy? If not what fertilizer(s) should I get?

So I've had my 60 gallon tank for about a year now and I would really love to add some plants to it. In the past, I've tried plants with little success, but I'm going to take another stab at it and see what happens. I have a wave point lamp that holds two 54 watt HO t5 bulbs. So total, I have...

So My uncle decided to surprise me and buy me a bought a German blue ram from PetCo about a week and a half ago and it died within about 3 days of him buying it. I wasn't too surprised about the ram's death ( I havnt had much luck with Rams), but I was surprised when my fish that have been...

So my 25 gallon has been cycling for a month now and I'm heading to Portland next week and I want to stop by Wetspot Tropical Fish and get some new fish. I tested the water yesterday and it read: pH: 8.2 (it was 7.8, but I added some Kordon Amquel plus in an attempt to reduce nitrates, but it...

I just recently discovered that my well water has nitrates in it. I could never understand why my 60 gal tank always had a nitrate level of 20-40ppm no matter how many water changes I did or how many times I cleaned my filter, but now I know why. Would purchasing a RO/DI system be worth the...

Hey all, So I know that to reduce nitrate you don't over feed, you keep your filters clean, and do weekly water changes. I do all of this and I still have nitrates in the 20-40ppm zone. I think I discovered why. I tested my tap water (I have well water) and it turns out that my tap water that I...

I just bought a 25 gallon tank from a friend. It has an Aqueon filter that came with the tank and I also bought an Aqua Clear 50 for it, so it has a lot of filtration. I'm planning on buying some she'll dwelling N. multis and am going to head to Portland the weekend of August 12 to get them...

My friend is wanting to get rid of her 25 gallon tank and I want to buy it and turn it into a shell dwelling Cichlid tank, and I'm thinking that I want to buy some Multis. So I've got just a few questions. 1). So they come from lake Tanganyika which I know has pretty hard water, but would they...

I just bought a 54 watt colormax HO T5 today along with a similar light to replace two old bulbs along with a few new plants. I got the two new lights all set up and gave them a quick test run to make sure they worked and the other bulb worked, but the colormax was very dim and only had a faint...

So I got home yesterday and went into my room to go see my fish and I noticed about 5 clear eggs sitting on the leaf of my Anubias. I then noticed that two of my angelfish were acting a more aggressive and territorial than usual and I noticed that my black angelfish had a weird tube-like thing...

Hey, so I bought an Indian striped peacock eel about a week ago for my 60 gal. and he hasn't eaten a thing all week. The other fish I bought with him are eating like pigs. He usually hides all the day long under the sand and I've only seen him with his head poking out 3 or 4 times. When I do see...

Hey all. So I have (had) 5 angelfish in a 60 gallon tank and they were living happily for 4ish months and I had been feeding them a variety of foods including earthworms from my feed store. Then I made the mistake of buying a tub of worms from Walmart and now I think that Capillaria is spreading...

Hey everybody. I'm debating on getting maybe four Burma Border Loaches (Botia kubotai) for my 60 gallon tank. I have read that they can be fun nippers especially with angelfish. Is this true? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey y'all, so my favorite fish store has some Severums for sale and I really want a couple for my 60 gallon tank. The only thing holding me back is their reputation for eating all things green. I only have Anubias and Java fern in my tank attached to driftwood because I can't keep any other...

About a week ago I noticed that one of my red koi angelfish stopped eating and began breathing strangely almost looking like she's gasping. She just hangs in the top corner of the tank by herself. Now a week later she's getting some ich spots because her health is declining since she won't eat...

My favorite fish store has several Elephant Nose (Gnathonemus petersii) for sale and I really would like to get one. I have a 60 gallon tank with a lot of filtration and clean water. I've got a white sand substrate, driftwood, and large river rocks. The inhabitants of the tank are several...

I have had my leaf fish for several months and I have been feeding him live mealworms from day one. I recently upgraded from a 50 gal to a 60 and he has seemed to loose interest in mealworms, so I tried small chunks of earthworm and flies which he eats only a small bit of. I tried to feed him a...

I have a 50 gallon community tank and last night right before I turned the lights out I saw two of my angelfish locking lips and dancing and wiggling around each other. I'm assuming that this is some kind of mating ritual of some kind...? They aren't fully grown yet and they are almost always...

I've had my Senegal Bichir (Whispy) for the better part of a year now and have really enjoyed having him. I watched a video where there where two huge bichirs roaming a tank together and it made me wonder if my Bichir would like a buddy to hang out with. Do they like the company of their own...

I just bought an ABF about 3 weeks ago and until about 3 days ago he's been eating great. I've been feeding em' mostly mealworms and a cricket here and there if I find one on my porch. He was eating great about 2 and a half to three mealworms a feeding, a whole cricket, and he'd even eat some...

I bought a German Blue Ram about 3 weeks ago, and she's doing well in her new home. She's still pretty small maybe about 1.25 inches and she doesn't have much color. Will this come with age as she grows and matures? I would show a picture, but it says that it can't be uploaded... :/ Sent from...

I bought a female Krib Cichlid about 3 months ago and when I bought her I noticed she had a split in her tail. It's kind of V shaped. I figured it would grow back and heal itself but it's not. Anybody know what's going on? Will it ever grow back? Sorry the pictures kinda blurry. It was the best...

I just recently bought three beautiful sword plants from my favorite fish store in Portland and within the next day of me putting them in the tank I noticed that a few of the leaves had small holes in them. I later noticed my pleco was sucking on the leaves. I had no idea that plecos even hurt...
