what if i rehome the female?

hi everyone, i have a well established 35 gallon tank with no issues. i have 4 fancy tail guppies (among other fish) and 4 endlers which i introduced a few months ago. There are 3 male and one female endler. Problem is, the endlers constantly nip and bully my guppies. They leave all my other...

sorry, i just re-read your post about the betta being removed, you can ignore that part of my msg :fish2:

i agree it is stressful....i went through this for the first year of the hobby until i hired an aquarium consultant to come to the house and tell me what i was doing wrong. He was awesome and steered me in the right direction. As for you current issues, if i were in your position you need to...

hi, you have to run a tank for about 6 weeks without fish. Once it is ready (cycled) it will have the beneficial bacteria that fish need to live in an aquarium. If you want to speed this up then you can buy bacteria in a bottle at most pet stores. make sure water temp is ideal for the type of...

hi, i actually hired an aquarium consultant off Craigslist because i was having similar problems. They all but disappeared after i took his advice of only doing 10-15 percent water changes once a week...no matter what. (make sure you treat the water before you put it in the tank) Plus i was told...

hi, separate the sick from the healthy into a hospital tank. Keep the healthy tank at 78 degrees and do a 20 percent water change to remove the salt (how much salt did you add because it sounds like way too much from the symptoms). Get some fish meds instead of the herbal stuff. From a holistic...

Hi everyone, my fancy guppy has pinkish poo that won't release. I believe he is constipated from munching on an algae wafer. All my other fish are healthy, levels are good....haven't had a sick fish in 6 months. I've given him two epsom salt baths (one per day at about 1 tablespoon per half...

hi everybody, I purchased my tank used and noticed the manufacture date was 2001. i am no expert on tank building but from what i can tell the glued seams look ok. It is 35 gallons and established in my basement for 2 years without any leaks etc. I don't want the tank to burst and ruin my...

i was under the impression aquarium salt was necessary for regular tank maintenance. Plus the aquarium store advised i use it for the health benefits. i use it according to the instructions. 1 scoop per 10 gallons

HI should i keep using aquarium salt with the following fish -4 rummy nose -3 guppies -1 dwarf catfish -1 bristle nose pleco -1 german ram -3 glass fish This is an established 35 gallon tank. i was told at the pet store to just reduce the salt to half due to the pleco and catfish. Thoughts?

HI everyone, i hope this isn't a stupid question....when adding my water conditioner and other items during my regular water changes do i add the amount of chemical per water i changed or per the whole tank. For example when i change 5 gallons of water do i add enough water conditioner for 5...

actually yes i am rinsing the sponge, charcoal and media with tap water....oops. Do i by a bacteria additive to get my cycle back to normal?

HI everyone, i have a community 35 gallon tank established for a year. I change 50% H20 once a week, add fish medicine (MetroPlex), water conditioner, aquarium salt, my levels are decent (last time i checked was a few months ago) and all other fish look healthy, temp is 76F. Except the guppies...
