I ordered moss online and it arrived mostly brown. I put my tree together using sponges and super glue with a fake decoration bare-branched tree. I’m pretty bummed that it’s mostly brown though, and would like to try and brighten it up before adding it to my tank. I put the tree in a bucket...

After over a year of having my 20g with only a guppy and platy, I’ve finally decided to stock with a school of neon tetras. I started with 8 and sadly 2 died shortly after the addition (like overnight!), but the remaining 6 seem to be doing well after 2 days. However, today I noticed that...

My filter is growing some nasty-looking stuff. At first I figured it was beneficial bacteria, but it’s beginning to look unsightly. Is this stuff bad? If so, what should I do? Thanks! It’s a 20g tropical tank with 1 male Platy and 1 male guppy. I do a 25% PWC 2-3 times per month. Tank has 2...

I now have a 20g with 3 male platy, 1 male guppy, and 1 male betta (separated by divider). Before we moved, I had my betta in a 3.5g and thought I noticed his fins tearing but only assumed he may have cut it on something because it was relatively unnoticeable and he was otherwise healthy. Now...

I have a 10g cycled with one HOB filter and one internal filter with a heater set at 80-82F and an air stone. Water parameters Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 20-40ppm pH 8 Stock 3 male platy 1 male guppy 1 ADF 2 ghost shrimp few live plants (2 anubias nanas and 1 moss ball) There are...

So right now I have a 10g with 3 platys 1 dwarf gourami 1 guppy 1 ADF. It has a 10g HOB filter and a 10g Aqueon internal filter. Right now I'm cycling a 3.5g to house the ADF since he has difficulty eating due to the other fish eating all the food before he gets a chance. Once that...

My LFS gave me a platy fry for free when I was starting up my new 2g tank that also was going to house 2 ADFs. Long story short, I hit a learning curve and realized I needed to properly cycle my tank. I exchanged the 2g for a 10g and began a fish-in cycle. The platy and frogs survived a...

So today I figured I'd stock my last fish, 1 male platy, to reach the limit for my 10 gallon. I used the aqadvisor calculator to check the accommodations for adding this last fish, which notified me of my 92% stock level and more-than-adequate filtration (I have 2 filters). Current stock: 2...

I'm starting to get a hang of this aquarium business and recently added some anubius nanas to my 10g. Lately I've been experience a rapid and consistent growth of algae after adding a single root tablet for these plants, and now they seem to be growing it all over the leaves. I've noticed the...

I'm at the store buying a QT tank about to introduce some new fish into my newly cycled 10g that currently has 2 ADFs and 1 platy. I plan on starting with adding a gourami and another platy to the 10g after they've been quarantined. Using the aqadvisor aquarium calculator, I was warned about...

Using an online aquarium calculator to calculate the stock I wish to have for my 10g, it warned me about adding extra filtration to accommodate for the bio-load. Currently I have 2 ADFs and a platy. I want to add 1 dwarf gourami and 1 more platy once it's entirely finished cycling (almost...

I don't like how my profile still shows that I have a 2 gallon. I've upgraded since then. How do I update my profile information through the app?

The only LFS in my town is petsmart, and just observing their fish I always notice ich present. Every single time I bring home a fish from there my tank has become infected. I was wondering, is online live delivery a better option? I'm looking to order a single male dwarf gourami for my...

I have a 10gallon that is almost through cycling. I'm finally picking up more and more nitrates and less ammonia levels (0.25ppm and below). I'm finally getting excited to add more fish to my tank, and have been really wanting to add a dwarf gourami. Right now I have 2 African dwarf frogs 1...

I bought a 10 gallon in the middle of February. It had 5lbs substrate, a 10-gallon filter w carbon filter media, heater, bubbler, stocked with a platy, molly, and 2 African dwarf frogs. I have literally gone through two whole bottles of "bacteria" (SeaChem stability and API QuickStart) trying to...

I have a 10 gallon with 2 African dwarf frogs, a Dalmatian molly, and a baby platy. It has a filter, heater (at 84 because I'm coming down from ich) and an air stone. Salinity I'm maintaining 1/2 tsp per gallon. Still cycling but once it finally cycles, I've been wanting to add some shoaling...

Ok, so I currently have a 10 gallon with 2 African dwarf frogs, a baby platy, and Marimo moss ball. Had this setup for less than a week, currently going through the cycling process. I do 25% water change every other day and monitor ammonia to ensure it stays below 0.25ppm. (Should receive master...

So here's the background: I started off with a 2 gallon with one betta. After a few days, I added 2 African dwarf frogs and the pet store gave us a baby platy for free. Aware that this tank is overcrowded, I tried to maintain the ammonia levels with frequent water changes while planning to save...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. My first topic was about asking for help with treating my newly infected tank. I've had a 10 gallon tank in the past that became infected with ich. That was years ago, and I convinced my boyfriend to agree on starting a new tank and added a betta and African dwarf...

I have a 2 gallon tank with a female betta, 2 African dwarf frogs, and a tiny baby fish that the pet store just gave us for free (I think it's a platy), and a Marimo moss ball. Today, I noticed the betta had a clamped fin with a white spot, and the baby had a white speck on its head. I realize...
