Ok so we are having a big issue with one of our tanks not bein able to stay within parameters an killing our fish off. We have done water changes tried chemicals but keeps creeping really high. Just tested- Nitrate- above 80ppm but below 160ppm Ammonia- 0-0.25ppm Ph- between 7.2 and 7.6...

Iv just noticed last night that every once in awhile I’d see a tiny bubble fly to the top of tank, first I thought was my fish until I watched closer an no it’s coming from substrate. Water parameters are fine plant growth is good I just dunno what would be causing the bubbles all of a sudden...

So was cleaning my mystery snail tank an seen these tiny things move on the glass, thought I was seen things until I used my phone an zoomed in an seen this! What is it an should I be worried?

Unsure which kind is in quarantine at the moment but is really big an has nice color

Welcome both my newest members, got both these baby bristlenoses earlier today an they are doin wonderful in their new big home. not sure yet on specific type tho yet

Well they finally here lol an then as I’m setting up the breeder tank until their grow out tank is cycled I noticed she was laying another darn clutch

So we have been battling issues with water parameters just on the 1 tank(my turtle tank has way better water readings an it’s changed bi-weekly) her tank is home to 1 betta fish, 1 nerite snail an few pond snails from plant we put in when started the tank feb last year. Water has always tested...

Well went bigger on my tank to allow for more room to allow plants an fish to grow. Little cloudy still but same filter, used most the water from other tank(just did water change 2days ago) added more substrate to the back of tank, still need to transfer my lights over from the other tank hood...

Well this answers the question about my snails lol black snail was showing off I guess to my golden snail. Changed tanks an found this on the underside of the hood

Idk what’s up with this guy, barely moves around tank and looks like he’s tryin to come out his shell all the way some times an has this white thing coming out. My other snail is fine

Ok so at first I thought it was my mystery snails eating my plant but I noticed they hardly go near them. I tried blanched cabbage an still something is eating them. They are healthy an green so it’s not melting away I would have noticed that.

Does anyone else have an issue with their snails eating their S.Repens [emoji58] every time I turn around there’s more eaten off of an area. I know it’s not the loaches or the Cory’s an definitely not the algae eaters. What can I do to prevent this from being a waste of money [emoji19]

Well tested the water after almost a week after a water change an dunno why my alkalinity is so low now. Nitrates- 15 Nitrites- 0 Hardness- 130 Alkalinity- 35 Ph- 7 What could be causing this an how should I fix it?

Ever since I decided to go with planted tank it seems like I’m havin to clean the filter out more often cause itts clogging from this brown sludge like stuff on sponge an media basket. Any idea if this gonna be normal? Iv never had to clean a filter out this much(once every 2 weeks).

Well I noticed my Cory cats doin something weird that idk what it is, I know Cory’s aren’t supposed to be aggressive but my 2 smaller ones bein really weird to my bigger one. I’d upload video but won’t let me [emoji52] they goin side ways in front of it like they tryin to smack it in face with...

How do I stop this from happening? I don’t even know why I’m getting bubbles in my tank.

Hello this morning I woke up an had noticed one of my java leafs melting or something. All the other plants look like they are fine all growing nicely an the rest of the java plant looks good is this normal?

Any idea what kinda corydoras these are? I see emerald an albino but then there’s these with weird markings

Well decided to part with my cichlids(terrorized everything in tank from plants to cleaner an snails) an with that I decided to keep it simple. There is only a few in tank, there is 2 siamese algae eaters, 2 kuhli loaches, 2 emerald corydoras in the tank now with both my mystery snails who are...

Anyone have any experience with the telanthera cardinalis? Iv noticed it’s got what looks like roots growin in random spots up the stem an everywhere. Is that normal?

Best place to buy plants from for different tank setups? PetsMart an petco plants look like poo an way over priced

Iv noticed lately that my albino is getting more aggressive towards all his tank mates when he’s never used to be(has my yellow one hiding a lot). Also noticed that his mouth look like his “teeth” are browning could that be from him pickings the substrate?

Just my project tank.
