Hello Aquarium Advice folks! I’m going away for three days and don’t have my usual fish feeding support. Is there a good way to feed my fish automatically?

Hi folks! This probably sounds a bit far-fetched, but am hoping you can help me solve a mystery. I have had an Amano shrimp for about a year and a half in my community tank. I didn’t see it for about two weeks and was sad - I thought he had passed away. But then! I saw him again, and he was with...

I got two electric blue rams a few days ago. They’re active and healthy looking. BUT! When I feed them, they eat like crazy but spit everything back out. I’m feeding them flakes and dried bloodworms. Any clues at to what’s going on and what I should do will be super appreciated.

So when we changed our tank water today, we noticed all these little dark spots swimming around at the bottom of the water we sucked out. They’re too small to even describe a shape, altho a larger one looked kind of like a brine shrimp. Any idea what these lil’ guys could be? Fish are all...

Hi everyone. My poor Little Rock shrimp started molting a couple of days ago and seemed not to be able to release the old shell from his front antennae and “feathers”. Today he finally got it off but is deformed (broken antennae and stumps in front). What could cause this? Could I be doing...

We have this blackish growth on everything in the tank - live plants included. Fish are healthy and happy but this stuff is EVERYWHERE. Would like to know what it is and how to curtail growth. Advice appreciated!

Is this a beautiful shrimp or what?! And he has a most excellent personality too......

We just noticed that our two balloon rams have ich! No other fish appear affected. If we isolate them, is there still ich in the tank? Is it worth isolating?

Hi, I'm Leila. I'm pretty new to aquariums. I have a 20-gallon freshwater tank with small fish and a rock shrimp (very cool!) and a 5-gallon beta tank. I find this hobby totally awesome and am really looking forward to learning and sharing with all of you on this forum.
