He's having trouble swimming- staying around the top he's fine, but if he tries to swim down, he struggles. It's like there's a helium balloon in him, making him unable to sink. He's only been like this since yesterday. Water conditions are good (1.5 gallon tank, 25 degrees, water completely...

Anyone know a cheap place (online) to buy parts for this system? I bought it used and the filter just stopped working, so I figure I should buy the filter component and a new impeller. I looked at the Marineland official site, but to order those two items, with shipping it would be close to...

I just bought a used 20g tank. (It had only been sitting empty for 1 week; is in good condition; is on a pretty new stand (BigAls stingray), and is level.) I'm still a bit nervous about buying a "used" tank, and am worried it might burst open at any moment. Does this ever actually happen? Has...

I set up a 6 gallon tank a couple weeks ago using aquarium sand as a substrate, instead of gravel. The bag said to simply rinse the sand and then add to aquarium. I rinsed it several times and then filled up the tank. After a couple days the water turned so slimy (and no, it's not algae)! I...

I have a 2" red cap oranda, and I think he might be starting to get fin rot. He's been very healthy, and lately is growing like crazy, but just recently I've noticed his fins are getting a little ragged. (He lives alone in a 6 gallon tank, upgraded from a 3 gallon a couple months ago. It's...

I've had this fish for 8 months now: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/sin_ful2/fish/IMG_3109.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/sin_ful2/fish/IMG_3159-1.jpg and I've never, ever seen him fight! He'll do the motions of fighting against the glass (turning his head back and forth), but...

How do you know when you have too strong of a current in your tank? I've realized, from experience, that fancy goldfish and bettas don't like too much of a current... but what about comet goldfish? I've got two 1.5" comets in an eclipse 6. The filter just broke the other day, so now I have a...

I've got a major snail problem in my 25 gallon. What fish will eat snails? I only have one danio in the tank right now; he'll try to eat them sometimes, but just spit them out.

This is my 25 gallon tank, which I've had for about 10 years. It's only got two fish right now- a Danio that I've had for 3 1/2 years and a Pleco I got on August 12th. It's been this way (pretty empty) for a couple years now, since I've moved out of my parents' house. I've just gotten back into...

I got this lighting hood for my 25gallon tank about 10 years ago. I went to change the fluorescent tube the other day and noticed that the plastic behind the tube was all brown, and the plastic is getting warped and breaking off. So I was thinking I might need a new hood, as this one could be...

Im thinking of getting the Marineland Eclipse system for my tank. http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp18527/si1382190/cl0/marinelandeclipse2 Does anyone here have one? If so, are you happy with it? Any comments would be appreciated. Also, on the description it says that the 24" hood...

I was wondering how often you need to reseal a tank??? I have a 25 gallon tank that I've had for about 10 years now. Do glass tanks need any maintenance?

Hi, I'm Angela and I'm 24. I currently have a 25 gallon tank (with only 1 danio right now!) and a 5 gallon tank. I had my aquariums for over 10 years.
