Hi everyone. in my 30 gallon long tank my 3 year old cory (silverish with black spots and stripes and a black dorsal fin) is suddenly sitting at the top of the water or middle of the tank. Just hovering. I see part of his tail is missing. so I added pimafix and melafix. Yesterday I added 3...

Hi everyone. Long time no post.. :) I haven't had any problems for a long time. Yesterday I added 3 black skirt tetras to my 28g bow front tank so my remaining black shirt would have some friends. I did a 40% water change prior to adding the new fish (as it had been almost 2 weeks from the last...

Last night I saw these at the store for $3.00 each. I tried to walk away.... really I did.... but i went back (many times-- and even went to get a clerk to get me some...) Well I picked up four. 2 larger 2 smaller.. I want to put them in my 38g tank.. I know I should have done...

I came home and one of my albino tetras was swimming kinda on her side and in small circles. I added melafix and pimafix *not a full dose* and fed. Later when I went to check on her, I couldn't find any albinos swimming strangely or floating or laying on the bottom. What I did find was 2 of...

Well, I changed the water, she looked bloated. I added maracyn2 and she started swimming sporadically. By the time I found the Euthanasia page and read it, she was dead. She had been harassed by the other severums since her partner died. I've had her in a tiny tank to herself for almost 3...

Our Petco had a sale on Bamboo shrimp, and since I love them so... I got 10.. These are the biggest I've Ever seen. One has eggs, I think be agreed before they need brackish water for the eggs. So should I reacclimate them to brackish water? Anyone know how much salt is needed? Just...

Title pretty much says it all. My goldie is now white. You can still see the orange under the scales and on the fins and tail. The light was off for 2 days. Prior to this I had changed food... Put them back on goldfish good. No one else changed. Before the change this fish was completely...

Eheim 2215 Classic *Includes media *NEW Extra O-ring *UNUSED box of 3 fine filter pads *UNUSED box of 2 coarse filter pads for $100 + shipping. Is this a good deal? It would go on a 46g bowfront.

When we went on a 3 day vacation 2 weeks ago, I came home to a sick tank. I lost my 4" opaline gourami and one (of a mated egg laying pair) or gold severums. I do not know if it is the male of female that passed. I don't know what the tank had. I treated with Maracyn 2, melafix and pimafix...

I went to the local Meijer store yesterday for a craft shirt for my son for school. Well you know how we just can't pass the fish section... They were re-arranging the store and had set up the new fish area with all the new pretty tanks and such. There were 4 old tanks 1/2 full of water and...

My dad wants to get a catfish for his female 10g betta tank. However, he is having pond snail issues. (Just can't seem to get rid of them) So I thought maybe there is a combo bottom feeder/snail muncher? Any ideas? Oh I should mention there are 3 female bettas and the tank is lightly...

I have been doing much more recent water changes in one tank (5g frog/snail/shrimp) since my frogs eyes got cloudy. I waited 4 days this last time so about 2-3 day longer than I have been doing for about a week and a half. I decided to check the parameters of the water I removed.. My ph was...

I have a little 6.6g tank. It has been up for almost 4 weeks. I have it planted with eco-complete, but not enough plants to cover the bottom. So when I do water changes I get the big cloud and it clogs my filter impeller. What would you suggest to use on top of it? Flourite (they have...

I got a 6.6g tank and it's been up and running for about 3 weeks. I had added biospira when I set it up. And last week when I cleaned the goldfish filter, I took the water I squashed out of the sponge and added that mulm to the new tank. It settled on top of the eco-complete. I tried to stir it...

What color are these supposed to be when thawed? I just got a package yesterday and this morning I broke off a piece to thaw for my fish and frog and I thought they were supposed to be a different color. I see no dates on the package and so far have not found their website. THought I'd ask...

okay, this tank is over 2 yrs old. I moved it, cleaned the undergravel filter out, didn't touch the rocks, added a bunch of new plants, used the old filter, added bio-spira yesterday After a water change.... today I have a nitrite rise. It's been set up a few weeks (4-5) this way, has had a...

Okay. the alien fish snatchers have attacked my house again. In 1 week, 2 oto cats have disappeared from the same tank. I put her in yesterday, she is gone today. No body, no bones, no nothing. Nothing around the tank or floor. Maybe the other oto just didn't like them and ate them all...

Hey I have an opportunity to get some new (used) lights. It would bring my 36g to 2.6wpg of lighting. If I leave the light that I have now, it would make it 3.6 wpg. So my question is, will I NEED co2 injection?? Or can I get away without it at all.. and the occasional flourish excel? My...

What would be better in a 5g tank? Other inhabitants are 1 dwarf frog, 1 ghost shrimp, (undecided) 1 male or 2 small female betta. Since adding the CF bulb, I have spots of green algae building up on one wall. Thanks in advance.

Since adding a light to my goldfish tank, whom only got morning natural light before.... I have this brown stuff... It's soft and wipes off the glass. It stopped for awhile and now I see patches of it on the bottom big rocks but not the gravel and inside the bettas bed (a styrofoam cup...

My dads angelfish is about the size of the palm of your hand. She looked fine this afternoon except for a torn fin. Dad said a black molly was nipping at her and that he took it out of the tank. 3 hours later he called me and said her eye is red, there is no swelling and she is on her back...

Are they thin enough to fit the bulb guard for my tank? (5g bow -only came with incandescent) so far the only thing I can find are big and for reading lamps and such. Maybe I'm not calling it the right thing? Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone identify these fish? 2 pix each. Thanks for any help.

Which is better for a low-med light 25g tank with goldfish and plants? the stores around here only carry the black and red flourish for planted tanks. Where do you get eco complete? Can you put stones on top of any of these substrates? How do you gravel vac it? Wouldn't it come up with the...
