I have a fish with a wound. Can I medicate the fish and not kill my plants? TIA!

I found something strange on my glass. It could be eggs or it could be nothing. There's no way I can get a picture. It looks like little white things in clear surrounding. There are several patches of it on the glass. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an annoying humming coming from my filter. I have a Emperor 400. I took it apart as much as I could last weekend, and I thought I had it fixed, but it came back after I turned it off and did a water change. Is it going out? Do you turn your filter off and on during water changes?

Okay, so my filter cartridges on the Emperor 400 are starting to get old. They look okay, but when I fire the filter back up there is some stuff flying around in the water that wasn't there before. I have the empty cartridges that came with it. Any suggestions what to put in it? I...

I saw a bristlenose the other day at my LFS. The price wasn't bad, but I didn't buy it. It seems I saw someplace that the larger ones can get territorial. Anyone have experience with this?? TIA!!

I got Sea Monkeys for my little boy. This is going to be the most fun!

I checked plantgeek.com and I think this will pretty much give me a kick start with the planted tank. They came with some stow away snails, but I left them on. I think the loaches and barbs will appreciate them. Right now all I have is aqua fern and an unknown slow growing plant other than...

on my new plants, and I threw them in anyway. :lol: I'm curious what happens. I have two clown loaches and a angelicus botia loach. My rosey and gold barbs will probably get them too. This should be fun. I think they are the ramshorn ones too. :lol: Can you tell I'm bored with my...

Anyone have some pointers about my new German Blue Ram pair?? I just bought them today. thanks!

So I've been thinking of getting him a bigger cave, and now I have to. It seems we have a bit of a war about who gets to sit under one cave and who gets to sit in the other. The pictus should get the smaller one, but sometimes he wants the bigger one. I actually saw the pleco come down on his...

I am looking for a fast growning, tough plant that my clowns won't eat. Any suggestions?? TIA!!

I added Maracyn and then started freaked out. I can't find my paperwork for this medicine and the web site doesn't say. Is it going to kill my bamboo shrimp?? :( TIA!!!

I don't know which kind yet. Are they mean?? See my info. I have mainly barbs.

I have to do something about this. One of my fish has fin rot and it says it is caused by "bad water." Am I poisoning my fish with every water change? What can I add to my water to get it stable?????????? Driftwood hasn't helped at all. :(

My pictus must feed all night off the bottom, because he never comes out when I feed my fish. The only thing he will eat if I drop down by where he sits are the frog bites I have left over from my ADF. I'm bummed. When I first got him he went to the top and loved anything I threw in...

Would they be safe with my various barbs and my pictus? I have diatoms and I read they will eat them. My two shrimp can't keep up and my pleco doesn't seem to eat them. I've heard they are very sensitive. Should I bother?

I don't want the fish to get out, but I want to know to know how many people out there vent their hood or seal it completely. I have a lot of condensation that accumulates and I have hard water. I'd rather vent it, but how much?? My hood is glass and I have the strips on the back.

I added them to my barb tank. They stay up top all the time anyway. Anyone ever try this. I bought five.

Just wondering. I'm tired of the clowns eating my plants when they are bored. 8O

I have little worms on the underneath of my glass hood. Should I flip out?????!!!!! I'm going to hit it with some flipping really hot water today and kill them. Are my fish in danger????

That's it!! I have a very good heater, but I had it turned down to 76 and it still kept my flipping tank at 82. It kept turning on!!! I unplugged it. I moved my temperature indicator to the front of the tank so I can keep an eye on it. I have a Rena Cal Top Light 200W. Anyone else have...

I can pick it out. There's two.

I finally bought two live plants and click, click, click all night. I woke up and discovered my clown loaches are eating the argentine sword I bought. They are ignoring the aqua fern. Good grief.

I can't find Princess. It's been at least a day. I picked up everything, even did a water change. If she is in the stump, she won't come out. That's not like her. I'm going to throw her favorite food in and see what happens. I've had her three years. I don't get it. :cry:

I bought a 6" ceramic wand and started it up. Only the ends are bubbling. Does it take a while??? TIA!!!
