Can anyone tell me what this is? It literally looks like her belly has burst open and her intestines are hanging out. Anyone know what this is or what could cause it? Bacterial infection of some sort maybe? I'm worried now cause I'm starting to think that some of the other fish in the tank...

So we've got some Endler's that are breeding (like thats tough :) )... and we're getting about 15 females for every male. Are there any environmental factors (Temp, PH, GH, KH, etc.) that could have an impact on the sex of the fry? Any tips to get more males? Thanks! -Brad

First off, a little back ground. Its a 29 gallon with 65 watts of 6700k light on it. Currently there are a couple of anubia (both seem to be stalled, growth wise) and a couple of crypts. One is monstrous (although it looks a bit pale), the other is tiny and doesnt grow at all. No CO2, no regular...

My tank has been up and running since about March 1 and I feel as if I've had pretty good success with it. Its a community tank with a few plants. Haven't lost one fish very stable water parameters... its been really easy to care for and very enjoyable to have. My question is this. Other...

Specifically, should I get one/some... Don't know much of anything about them. I have a pool filter sand substrate, so I hear MTS would work well and keep the sand churning, but I think I want ONE to just do some glass cleaning and add a bit of character. Its a totally peaceful 29G...

What are the different ways that people do PWCs? Is there a "right" way to do a PWC? I have a Python, so I use the Python to pull xx% of the water, then after matching the tap water temp to the tank water temp, add enough AquaSafe or Prime to the tank and then fill straight from the tap...

To Crush or Not to Crush... That is the question. I've got 4 Corys that I have been feeding Tetra's Variety Wafers to. I've been using a Hammer to Crush the wafers so that the Corys can get em in thier mouths. This seems to be working great! My 2 Otos even go down there where the stuff...

I went through a bout of Green Water after the tank was set up. Tried blackout and it helped somewhat, but the condition persisted. Then ordered a Diamtom Filter. Funny thing is that it had mostly cleared itself before the Diatom Filter arrived. Used the Diatom Filter anyway b/c I'd heard it...

And yes, that color is pretty accurate. I did a fishless cycle with a shrimp. Took just over 3 weeks... seeded the tank with gravel from a healthy set up at work. Ammonia at 0, nitrItes at 0, nitrAtes at 10. Water started to get "white cloudy" towards end of cycle... took this to be the...

I've found some rocks that I think are pretty cool and that I would like to use in an aquarium... Is there a way to tell if the particular rocks are "aquarium safe" or not? Thanks!

Using a shrimp to do the fishless cycle in a 29 gal. Started March 7th. Seeded with gravel from another tank on day 4. Ammonia started to come down while nitrIte and nitrAte both skyrocketed... these last few days, nitrIte has come way down and this morning nitrIte was .5. Odd thing is that...

We recently got him and after having him in a small bowl for a month (100% water changes 2x a week) he stopped moving and eating, so went and got a 2.5 gallon tank for him and he still isnt recovering. His balance seems way off, falls over on his side, and sits on the floor, face forward like...

Hi AA! Newb alert here... long time lurker, first time poster! Quick question... what's folks thoughts on a Penguin 200 in a 29 Gal tank? I set this one up tonight, and it sure does put out a strong current... Its rated for up to 50 Gal, while they have a Penguin 150 rated for up to 30...
