It’s hard to tell. Not saying it’s always the case but when mine had ick it was like sprinkled on the fins and then slowly getting on their bodies. I used ick x and the snails were just fine. It also didn’t affect my cycle. Especially if you’re not sure it’s ich, which I’m not sure it is by the...

Consider aquarium salt first and maybe temp increase, then a medication if that doesn’t work. Research it first, don’t just take my word. Keep the water super clean for a while. When you get new fish, quarantine them in a different tank to ensure they’re healthy before possibly getting your boy...

At further inspection the way everything is, yeah I might as well pull it off and replace. I thought I’d do a piece just as thick as the existing. But there are too many obstacles for that to be feasible I think.

I have a 250 gallon aquarium. The back glass has a pretty severe crack. I know just dealing or “repairing isn’t a good idea. However, could I insert a custom cut piece of glass directly in front of it? It would become the new stable back panel (removing silicone and reapply like a reseal) but...

I just got these little guys a few days ago. There are also guppies in the tank. The guppies have ignored the flakes I fed them and go after the sinking food meant for the corycats. Today I dropped a few extra pellets and just left the flakes out. I came back just a couple minutes later and all...

I do have a full bottle ready to go. I bought the python but of course it won’t connect to my faucet. I’m waiting on adapters but my 5 gallon bucket has worked so far. Thanks!

I started up a brand new tank and I’ve been dosing with ammonia to keep it cycled before adding fish. At this point ammonia is cleared easily within 24hrs even when dosed as high as 4ppm (oops). Nitrites have yet to read zero (They do drop though) but nitrates are always off the chart high...

I’m new to fish keeping but in my research I’ve come across two things. I don’t suggest just taking my word for it but maybe dig a little yourself. 1) test the water source because there could be ammonia present. Well probably ammonium I think? Which leads to the next thing 2) the api test...

I would like to know all this as well. I actually have a high PH and I’ve added the Indian almond leaves and am waiting. I’ve read and heard that it’s more important to have a stable PH than it being just perfect. At the same time I have a water treatment system so my water is quite soft. Right...

Yeah that’s exactly why I was wanting all males. I’m now looking into Pygmy corydoras as an alternative to the pandas since I don’t want a large tank in my bedroom. Thank you

To be honest in my bedroom I’m really wanting the Fluval flex. Of course ultimately I’m not wanting to mistreat any fish that go in there so if I need to adjust who I’m putting in there I’m content with that. I want a larger tank in the living room though. A 20 long just wouldn’t work as well...

I can leave the betta out. That’s not a big deal. As of now I only have 1 betta and he has his own place which he’s staying in. I do like tetras as well and dream of a larger tank in one of the living rooms for those. I actually do love the idea of increasing the corydoras too. Thank you so...

Hello, I’m brand new here and new to the aquarium life. I really want to start a small tank in my bedroom. Looking at a 15 gallon that I want to stock with guppies(6), Corydoras(2), and 1 betta. I think I’ve just about figured everything out except 1 little detail. I have a water treatment...
