Like a boom pew pew, bang explosion! Now I know these buggers have been hiding in my 10g nano for a while now, I see one every other week or so. I have been letting my tank sit for about 6 months with only a hermit crab in there to make it over run my copes and amphipods, which it has been. So...

Any idea what it is, kind of reminds me of a sand dollar from the beach, but tiny

A friend bought this guy for his 10g tank and once he realized the fish store didn't know what they were talking about with his size I was more then happy to move him to my 110g Type and Gender anyone? He was told Blue Eyed Jade Convict...

Just a quick question about setting up a good flow. I currently have my out put in the top right and there's a fan in the top left. The fan is on a timer to run for 15 stop for 10. I have no idea what the best cycle is for on/off, should I run it all day and night or only night? Added some...

I have had this guy for about 2 weeks now and have not seen him open up once, it is a nps and I feed every 3 days at the same time. The light isn't normally on, and the tank is in the laundry room which is dark most the time. The pump in the back is a little loud but I don't think that would...

After about a month and a half of cycling and a couple weeks of copepods doing whatever they do in the tank. I added my first skunk shrimp to test the waters out and hopefully a fish soon! Just added the gorgonian as well, so hopefully he enjoys the copes. Suggestions are welcome!

In all my planted tanks since i do fish and not shrimpers, i always let the tank cycle with amphipods, once the tank is ready for fish ~month later there is lots of these guys hiding around in the substrate and filter to give a snack every once in a while. Is this something that could be done...

Good afternoon! I have a 9g Fluval Flex that was recently ceaned out and is now empty. I wanted to take this opportunity to jumped into my first saltwater tank. My plan is use sand/crushed coral substrate with a live rock set up and only a couple friends, like a Blenny, Snail, Crab or Shrimper...

Is there something wrong with my nerite, or do they all have these little feelers that come out?

Hello! So I currently have a 110g and 40g planted tank which are fully stocked and been running for about 2 years. Recently though my wife and I have been wanting to remodel the basement where these are at and I want to use this opportunity to try something different. I want to completely take...

I set up a DiY Co2 last night and the A bottle is empty already less then 12 hours later. Should I add new citric acid and baking soda, is there a leak somewhere or am I doing something wrong?

I bought a small batch of Java for my home tank from my LFS were I normally get everything with no issues. Got this guy home and noticed all these hard black and brown spots on the leaves and some green growths as well. Is this a concern? Doesn’t look like any snail eggs I have seen... If I run...

So I have what started as 3 and is now 6+ rabbit snails and rabbit snail babies. The older ones shells are getting extremely unhealthy though and I don’t know why. It’s all of them even a younger one is having calcium issues. I add about a cup of crushed coral in every couple months so they can...

Would a Pothos like it here, and if so what kind does everyone suggest, i didnt realize there was so many types. Something like this? It would be in about 2 inches of water with some more rocks/branches under it but not much more then the picture below...

So I have my small 40g planted with 4 Tiger Badis in it and they mostly live off scuds they find that I put in weekly. So instead of adding them every week when I remember so every 1-7 days I came up with this little plan to help sustain them. I hung an extra HOB filter on the side made the...

So if anyone remembers back in November I ordered about 20 angle fish and all but 3 disappeared. Assuming they were eaten...since they were never found. These are my 3 survivors and it looks like 3 males so this will be interesting. The smallest one has a little deformity on its dorsal fin...

But what’s the best way to euthanize a fish? My molly has had the TB and Ich for a while, I fear she is just suffering for the QT for about 3 weeks now

My 40g planted tank smells like wet dirt, if that means anything to anyone and I believe this BBA is growing everywhere. Just wanted to make sure it was because it does look a little longer and the smell.

So how do you know if a fish is to large to enjoy vinegar worms? I have 4 Black Tiger Badis and they love scuds, between that and the weekly beef heart/bloodworm mix I give them its all they eat. They are not fans of flake food and prefer the chase. Anyone out there with suggestions of other...

Hello again everyone! I have a little flex set up on my desk in the office that came from the guy I replaced. I cleaned it out and it’s going great for about a year now. I have now and have always has an algae issue though since the fluorescent office lights are on 24/7. Any suggestions on how...

So one of my female Molly’s has been very sick for a while. She started off with a little spit of ich and since she’s in a 110g tank I said good luck and hope she felt better. Well after a month or so she looks horrible covered in ich, fin clamp, unhealthy poops, and mouth doesn’t close...

So I have a white 55 gallon drum I want to scrub clean and put a fine net over so it can collect rain water but not to many leaves or bugs hopefully. The plan is to have a pump in the bottom of it running to make sure stuff doesn’t grow in the stagnant water that would have a hose that I will...
