    Algae ID, fix or advice

    Have had an algae problem in all of my tanks, 3 to be exact, all about the same age. The algae started off brown, now turning green, blue in some tanks. Need help identifying them, with possible fixes. These are here because I was generally told to let it run its course, but I didn't expect Blue...

    Dwarf gourami and others, ph crash and unstoppable ammonia

    This is a 29g high stocked with 3 platys (original stock), 6 neon tetras, 3 black skirt hi fin tetras, and what I assume are 4 male dwarf gourami. I'm running a top fin filter that came with the tank along with a marineland 20g biowheel (new, with old media). a diy power head filter and an...

    How to swap tanks while doing as little damage as possible

    I'm about to set up and cycle a 29g for a school of tiger barbs I overstocked (didn't consider space taken by filters, substrate, plants and driftwood). I'm trying to imagine how to move the established 20g tank and set up a 29g in it's place and moving 10 tiger barbs, all without the bottoms...

    Please name plant... How to maintain?

    Recently bought aquarium seed shipped from China and planted it. It is the carpet plant you see. Anyone know how to maintain?

    Seeking help finding algae eaters for an aggressive tiger barb only tank.

    I have 8 barbs in a 20g long and have been enjoying watching the hierarchy establish, along with the tank as well, but I've had trouble fighting off Brown diatoms/algae. I was wondering if there was a clean up crew that could survive the hunt, or if there was a simpler way to kill the growth...

    Soil is white and goopy, planted tank w Chinese seed and lava rock.

    I found a 20g for $5 at an awesome saltwater store nearby. Previously I ordered some plant seeds from China on a phone app 2 months ago and finally got them after dreaming of how I would scape this tank. It's shabby, but is still a good practice tank, so I filled the bed with 1/2 inch layer of...

    Tap is .5 ppm ammonia, having trouble detoxifying.

    I did a water change when I got home last night, tested the water and it read 1.5 ppm. I tested the 5g bucket of conditioned water (dosed for a 29g with seachem prime) and it read .5 ppm and water out of the tap read the same. Seachem FAQs said it was supposed to work instantly. Here I am 10...

    Random filtration setup - any thoughts?

    I was tinkering with my tanks last night like I do every night, and have noticed that my 29g doesn't have enough filtration. I was originally running just a topfin with an aquaponic setup (don't know exactly which one, but it filtered 170 gph) after 6 or 7+ weeks of a fish in cycle I'm still...

    Cleaning live plants from nature

    I recently went on an excursion to a waterfall in the mountains of Ferguson, NC. I found these two plants and was wondering if anyone could identify and/or would know how to treat these plants for a planted freshwater aquarium. I have a 20g long, with 8 tiger barbs and what seems to be healthy...

    The tiger barb

    In the past two months I have been convinced of the rewarding nature of fishkeeping. Luckily I paid more attention to water chemistry before I looked into types of fish... Needless to say I spent the better part of my tax return on aquariums and equipment. Long story short, I bought a few...

    New green barb tilted and hanging out by filter

    Just bought a new green barb from local pet smart and noticed that my other 2 tiger barbs were nipping at it. I came home from work and found it hanging by the filter tilted forward at a 45 degree angle. I've noticed this tilting is kinda common during late hours but just lost a tiger barb to...

    Converting to planted, need advice.

    About a month ago I bought a 29g and being a newbie I started a fish-in cycle with a rather large community. Lost a platy, a guppy, and a snail. Surprisingly the rest survived...consisting of 3 platies, 3 guppies, a Molly and a pleco. I'm pretty sure I goofed on the cycle and restarted it...
