I have a 90 gallon, it’s been set up for 3-6 years (moved everything and filters into a new 90 3 years in due to a leak) and its stocked pretty at capacity. My angelfish in particular seem to have white stringy poop sometimes. Should I be worried about parasites? What’s the best way to treat...

So I have a 10 gallon quarantine/med tank and it’s been empty for about 1-2 months now. I will put a piece of fish food in there every week or two to keep it cycled, otherwise there’s a handful of rams horn snails chilling in there. I was looking in it and saw a worm! How did this get in...

Hi there, I have a great school of Odessa barbs, and one of them has become a little odd. It’s disfigured now and has started schooling with the pearl Gouramis instead. Still eats happily but behaves strange, nibbles on my arm when I stick it in the tank and isn’t shy at all, more outgoing than...

My angelfish has been bloated for about 2-3 months now... it’s been about 5-6 weeks in quarantine and nothing seems to be working. Any advice? What I’ve tried: Peas 4 tbs salt (I read max is 6) Metroplex and kanaplex Prazipro Paragaurd Not feeding for a few days Soaking food first Large water...

I was fascinated and in love when I first got my rummynose tetras, they were super active and really brought my tank to life! They encouraged all my other fish to come out and it was great. Now, they’re always hiding in a corner! It’s been a few months like this now... the only thing I can think...

Just noticed some clusters of white spots on my opaline gourami, easily seen on tail and top of dorsal fun. Don’t see anything on other fish, but could it be ich? I added these fish on May 7th (17 days ago) and will admit I did not quarantine them but I do know the fish store had them for...

Hello! I just purchased 2 oplines, they’re still pretty young but I specifically asked the fish store guy for a male and a female and I have a feeling these are both females... What do you guys think? Here’s the one I think could be a male, has darker spots: And here’s the one I think is...

What’s happening to my angel? Is he just getting picked on by the black red tail shark or is it something more severe at this point? Acting a little reserved but still eating and swimming around fine, one eye has some cloudy lines and some skin around eyes is missing. Bottom fin is a little...

I just got about 20 rummy nose tetras two days ago and failed to realize how small they are! I have a 90 gallon aquarium and some larger fish so the poor guys don’t seem to all get food! Some of the bigger ones seem to be doing fine and have round bellies but a handful of the school is very...

I’m preparing my 90 galling for cichlids and am adding rocks! Issue: bought some lava rock and slate (I think) form my lfs for cheap, also bought some slate online for a little less cheap. The ones I got online I boiled, vinegar tested, and used the api nitrate bottle #1 and they were perfect...

I think I’m going to replace my bosemani rainbow fish- mainly because they’re kinda expensive and 2 of my best males just had unfortunate deaths and I think the females are super ugly [emoji23] Any ideas what would look good and fit in well? I love love love German blue rams but my water is way...

I’ve been on a bit of a rollercoaster and would like to get it right this time. TLDR: help picking easyish inexpensiveish substrate for 90 gal planted tank for somewhat low-med tech plants. I have a 90 gallon aquarium and I tried to use dirt for the first time! And it is a complete disaster!! I...

I had 5 for a long time and added 7 more and now, within 3 months I only have 3 left! One of the ones left all has a small white spot (fungus maybe?) on the mouth and the rest are otherwise acting normal. When one dies there were a lot of flat white worms crawling over and around it and a chunk...

I just moved from a 60 gallon to a 90 gallon dirt and the process took 3 days (60 started leaking) so there was deffinetly some unfiltered water left in the 60, both the 10 gallon tubs the fish were in had sponge filters, and the canister filters did not get turned on all 3 days. So I find this...

Back in December I bought a used 10 gallon and put a clear Lid and some LED lights on it, some sand, some gravel, threw some plants in from my 29 and decided a quarantine tank is just too boring. So I thought I’d get back into cherry shrimp bought like 10 of them in January and they started...

I bought one but it didn't have a timer so I'm returning it. But I'm all out of Excel and I can see my plants declining. Can you guys recommended a good CO2 system with a timer for a 29 gal tank? Specifics would be amazing as well. I'd rather not spend too much but I'm willing to pay extra for...

I have a 65 gal aquarium, everything is going well 2 angelfish 2 BS plecos 1 red tailed black shark 2 albino dojo loaches (looking to expand but hard to find healthy ones) 7 male boesemani rainbowfish So I would like to have 12 rainbows in the tank, and I was under the impression that I could...

So I have a 29 gal Planted Tank, everything grows very well, too well... except S.Repens I haven't been able to get going *sigh* Anyone, with one of my plant orders came giant Duckweed. I have it in and it's growing very well, I scoop some out every now and then and put it into my 65 angel...

I'm not sure if it's hair algae or what but some green, slimy and hairy thing keeps growing on my java moss, doesn't affect much else, and I can't eat rid of it! I take some off sometimes but it's ridiculous.

It was a little rough at first but I changed the design to a more natural set up and added rainbow fish and it's finally looking amazing! Also just switched from an HOB to 2 canisters and it's working great! I'm merging my 20 and 29 gal so I moved the 2 bristlenose plecos (one albino) from the...

Hey guys, I'm starting college next semester, end goal: veterinarian. My family also came to the U.S. from Russia! Been keeping fish since 9 years old when brothers bought me a 2.5 gal tank and 2 goldfish. Fastforward 5 years and I have a 10, 20, and 30 gal tank as they kept growing, when they...

So I have a 20 gallon and 30 gallon that I'm planning to merge. Bigger is always better, right? So I was going to just move all of my 20 gal contents into the 29 gal, but I thought there could be more I can do. 30: currently has large HOB, I just attached a canister filter and am letting that...
