I have a betta in a large vase, which until about a week ago had a plant suspended above it with the roots in the water for about the last year and a half. A few weeks ago it started having some sort of white specks floating on the surface. I thought it might have been some kind of mold growing...

I just bought a used 29gal tank, hood w/light and stand from someone on craigslist and the hood light doesn't work. ILO tracking down this woman and making her give me back part of the very reasonable price she charged me for the package (she did say that everything worked) I want to see if it...

I recently moved and upgraded from a 20gal to a 29. A day or so after the move my clown pleco went berserk and basically destroyed all of my Anubias Barteri plants that I've had for years. Should I cut off all of the damaged leaves right now or should I leave them on to do what they can to help...

Damage from my Clown Pleco after a move...he must have liked my old place better.

I'm about to move about 30 mins from where I am now. I plan on putting my fish (see sig.) in a 5 gal. bucket with a little substrate and a plant. Once I get to the new place I'll plug in my bubbler for the bucket until I get the tank set-up. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to...

I am considering either doing a major overhaul or upgrading to a larger tank and was wondering if it is possible to split the Anubias Barteri that have grown a few inches over the last couple years into multiple plants by cutting the base (I forget the correct term) in half, etc.

I have hundreds of these in my tank and was considering upgrading to a 29 gal and getting new substrate to try to get rid of them. Are they really that beneficial? I never noticed them cleaning up any algae. The shells don't vacuum up and after a while they make my black substrate look very...

I'm not sure what you mean. Yes, the pleco has always eaten the wafers in the past, if that's what you're asking. Sometimes it's gone the next day, sometimes it looks like he doesn't even touch it. I don't see the otos go for the leftover algae wafer - they pretty much just hang out in the...

I have a 3-4" Clown Pleco and 2 new and small Otos. I have put nickel-sized Hikari sinking algae wafers (usually a half wafer) in at night, every couple nights or so, for the pleco since I got him/her and he seems to be doing fine (year+). I just got the 2 Otos and while my tank glass is clean...

Hey ya'll! Man, it's been forever since I've posted so no one probably remembers me, but I've got a little situation. I live in a very small apartment with a correspondingly small kitchen. I've got 2 neons that I've had a for a couple years in my 5 gal corner tank on a small counter next to...

One of my Golden Wonder Killifish appeared to be developing fin rot about a week ago, so I began to treat the tank with a regular dose of Melafix. The fin rot didn't really improve and his behavior began to decline, so I began to assume he wouldn't make it. Now almost a week later, he looks...

Somewhat of a novice here - what's a AC?

Cool, thanks. Yeah, it's funny how some vendors are just like, "it's great for a saltwater set up." Just throw stuff in, watch it eventually die, and buy some more! :)

I have the above 5 gal corner tank. Is this suitable for a saltwater set up? I've seen stores that say it is, but I'm skeptical. I'd like it to be, but I'm concerned that the lighting is too limited. I have an 11 watt cf bulb in it right now with a couple neons and small plants, but even the...

With 10 gallons, the number of fish you're able to have is very limited. I would suggest that you pick one type of schooling, community fish and go with a school of them and an Otocinclus. Small tetras, Guppies, Danios, etc. There's really no way you're going to be able to have a Pleco in that...

I have an old 5 gallon corner tank that I've had for a while that has gotten quite boring and is in need of a revamp. At this point I only have 2 Neons in it with a couple Aponogetons that basically do not grow. I'm sure the plants just need some fertilizers, but I looking for general ideas for...

Well, that's kind of my problem. I've had them for months and they were much less timid when I got them. The timidity is new and that's what I'm trying to figure out. I guess they just feel more secure hidden, so if they can, they will. Oh well. I may be moving across the country soon so...

That's the problem, theyhave plenty of places to hide...so I never see them. It's not just that they act timid, it's that's they are permanently out of sight behind items in the tank. Something I didn;t mention is that they barely even emerge when it's feeding time. A couple of Rummynoses will...

For a long time now my fish, even the schools in good numbers, seem to be petrified of me. They hide behind plants, wood, whatever, anytime I am anywhere near the tank or even in the room. Even now I am across the room right now (20-25ft) and they are no where to be seen. I never traumatize...

I thank you for your input, but after looking up "water flea" that is just not what they are. They are not free floating, swimming or drifting in the water. Also, they don't have any appendages. Right now the majority of them are on the glass just under the top of the substrate. Also, they're...

Well, what I mean to say is that they are an animal, bug, what have you. It is not algae. In fact, I only see one on the glass at the moment. So the rest have gone into the substrate, or somewhere... It's like a small, flat, shell-less snail.
