Hi guys, I have a sick angel fish. yesterday I noticed at feeding time that she stayed at the bottom of the tank and didn't come eat at all. Today I checked on her and she now has white spots on her... you can see on her fins and tail, is very lethargic, won't eat, and is staying at the top...

Hi guys, Just a quick poll from the member base, should I stay away from Dwarf Gouramis or at least keep them in their own tank? I recently acquired 2 pairs of healthy looking Gourami 2x FR and 2x NB - they are rescues. I've red a lot of horror stories about these getting sick easily, TB...

And if so, with what? I've always put in new fish in to quarantine and medicated when necessary, but I see some folks mention that they always medicate new fish just in case. If that's the case, wondering what/how you medicate the fish preemptively and what you are using. Seems like the last...

Hi all, As the title says, I am looking for a LED strip light for my 48" aquarium, freshwater with no plants or low light plants that can be programmed to shut off/light up and specific times etc. I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to buying a Fluval Aquasky when I said sort of off-hand "And this...

Hi guys, Back towards the end of June, I had a fungus incident with new German Blue Rams I had picked up that were put in quarantine before being added to my main tank. The tank contained a few small fish already that were all healthy and then I added 4 or 5 new German Blue Rams. And then a...

Well, I've managed to have my first small disaster in my display tank, 100% my fault. We were getting ready for a 2 week vacation out of town and I planned to pick up an automatic feeder well in advance to keep an eye on the feeding amount to make sure it was right before I left. Well, I...

Hi all, One of the 4 GBRs in my daughter's tank is in very bad shape. It started 5 days ago and I thought he had Ich - it started with a white spot on his tail. I immediately increased aquarium tank temperature to 80 and started the treatment and removed the charcoal. It didn't clear up and...

Just opened up and cleaned my fluval 305 filter... put it all back together, filled it with water, put the lid back on, connected the lines and I have no water coming out when I plug it in. It makes the normal pumping sound etc but I have no water coming out or just a trickle. If I prime the...

Hi guys, I was recently given a beautiful Hagen AquaDecor 203 aquarium but the integrated timer and control panel is fried... batteries leaked and destroyed it. I did bypass the timer and MAN is that ballast loud!! I would like to change out the lid to a regular glass or acrylic hinged cover...

I'm sure this has been discussed hundreds of times in the past and I did find some old content about this, but I figured every year there are new products on the market so it was worth asking. I'm currently dealing with a case of Ich on my quarantine tank *phew* on 4 new fish I purchased last...

Hey guys, My wife has a beta fish that was moved to a cycled 5 gallon tank Friday night. Was totally fine up to and including this morning. My wife got home after work tonight and was freaking out. The beta is suddenly SUPER bloated, especially in the front belly part and can barely swim is...

Hi guys, My 55 gallon freshwater tank's hood contains two light canopies that are 22.5" L x 4.5" W and each use a single 18" T tube. I would like to swap these to LED lights but I am having trouble finding the same size canopy fixtures that I could just swap out. Am I better off just removing...

Hi guys, my new-to-me aquarium has a good amount of dirt pellets mixed in with the gravel and I'd really like to remove them. Is there a cool trick to somehow separate the dirt pellets from the gravel or do you have to just bite the bullet and take the gravel out with the dirt? I have been...

New to keeping fish other than guppies, is this a dwarf Cichlid? Hi all, I've JUST started keeping fish again after a 20 year hiatus, and even then the only thing I kept were live bearers like mollies and guppies. Tonight I bought a used 10 gal tank to be used as my quarantine tank for new...

Hello everyone :) My name is Dan and I'm from Montreal, Canada and recently picked up a new-to-me aquarium after a 20 year hiatus from keeping fish. My new setup is a 55 Gal freshwater tank that I picked up from someone on Kijiji about 2 weeks ago and so far no issues keeping the tank stable...
