In my planted 10 gallon tank, I have a bit of an algae problem. I pulled out as much as I could yesterday, but it always seems to grow back. I can’t tell what kind of algae it is, it’s green, has a slimy texture, grows really fast, and has a strong earthy smell. Any advice? Sorry if it’s hard to...

Is my betta Orion wounded? He’s acting normal, but there is a scratch I think right above his eye!! There are no sharp objects in the tank or fish. (besides a snail) He’s eating and moving just fine.

Inspired by Kishore’s post about growing an anubias out of water, I decided to try it with a baby amazon sword plant! Is there anything I should really look out for? (Besides browning leaves)

I just bought some plants today. I have quite a bit of an algae problem, I know. Spot algae, the worst! Anyways, my tank looks like it’s missing something. How can I make it nicer?

So, a day ago I found this worm thing in my tank. My kuhli loaches attempted to eat it and spat it out. Keep in mind I haven’t fed worms to my tanks in 2 weeks. Also, they were dried. Anyways, I caught my smallest neon tetra flashing against a leaf and stone. They all do that occasionally...

So, I got a 20 gallon tank cycling at the moment. I'm gonna make it a planted community tank! It's my first! Is there anything I should know that is important? How do I make sure my bottom feeders (kuhli loaches) don't get their pellets eaten by vicious guppies and neons? Should I buy a bigger...

Okay, today I discovered that my filter in my 10g wasn’t working at all! There is no waterfall, no hum, nothing! I have NO idea how long it’s been like this, and I don’t know what to do! Please help!! (I’m only seeing 5 tetras, used to be 6. The snail is alive and well and everyone looks stress...

Hello! I have a 20g aquarium cycling at 78 F, and I was wondering how to breed neon tetras efficiently and fast. It has a sponge filter, a few small plants, a piece of driftwood, sand substrate, and I have borrowed a breeding net as well. Is there anything I should know before I go into this...

You know the cotton that plants come in from the LFS? Well... I accidentally scattered it everywhere in the tank. I picked up all the pieces I could, but now there is a bit on the bottom that cannot be gravel vaccumed that has been driving me nuts for weeks. Is there a way I can make it dissolve...

Hello! I have a 10 gallon long with a 20 gallon sponge filter. I also have live plants and a sand substrate. My stocking currently is 7 neon tetras, and 2 mystery snails. I was wondering, how many kuhlis could I safety add? I know it's debated that kuhlis should be in a 20 gallon, but I think I...

About 2 months ago, I got a handsome veiltail betta in my spare 2 gallon tank. I am gonna upgrade it, don't come swarming at me with info... anyways, he wasn't really interested in food for the first week. That was understandable. After a week, he showed a tiny interest, but he spat the food...

I have 3 neon tetras that used to be active. They schooled loosely and always were checking stuff out. Now, they spend most of their days at the tank bottom. They only move when it's feeding time or I accidentally bump the tank. They are not pale at all and don't look sick, but I'm not sure. I...

Hello! I am new to this particular fish forum and I have a 10 gallon tank. I'm planning on adding 3 kuhli loaches to it, and I will add another tetra to the neon tetra school. (I know 3 tetras are too small of a school, but they school together just fine and they are not stressed.) Now since...
