I have this black algae growing on my plants. I clean regularly. What is this? How can I rid of it. Also- what fish would help control this?

Small white bumps have appeared through your the tank, they are on the decor and also a snail has some on him. Any idea what they are? No bigger then a pin prick

Melting? I am not sure what that means, I dont believe so. I am pretty sure its a brown algae. It was on more things in the tank and Ive been working on getting rid of it. But since I cant just wipe off the hornwort, it seems to be the last thing that its lingering on.

Hello, I have brown algae that I can’t seem to get rid Of. I have snails in here, so a lot of the products I can’t use. It seems to cling mostly on the live plants, which are hard to wipe down without ruining them. How can I get it off of the live plants? Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can find a rubber eel/ caecilian worm? I grew up with these in our fish tank, and I loved them! My dad said he just got them at a local fish store, but I cannot find these at all anymore! Anyone have ideas of breeders or places to buy? Thank you!

I did not quarantine, had them about 2 months now.

I had him about 6 months or more. He had a varied diet of cucumber and pellets And bug bites. He also has drift wood in there. But I got some parrot fish and they’re pigs. I was worried he wasn’t getting any food and fed at night. But I think he still wasn’t getting food...

Just found this an hour ago ?, what could have happened? This is his stomach, he is all green. He is an albino pleco. Stomach also looks sunken in. Did he starve?

One albino pleco and 2 kuhli loaches

My bottom feeders are not getting any food left for them once my parrot fish eat it. I have tried different foods including sinking and the parrots are just pigs lol. Is there something I can set up that has a small hole for the bottom dwellers but the parrots can’t get through to eat the pellets?

Been trying to feed different things, but really haven’t seen him eat much but suck on the glass. I have seen him eat a cucumber and fish flakes that fall. He won’t eat the bug bites, seaweed or algae wafers I’ve tried... he is still very red, even getting more red. I’ve done 2 25% changes this...

It’s at 78/80, is that too high?

I have an albino pleco that is slowly turning more red inside it seems. I have a 55 gallon with 3 tetra, 2 loaches and the pleco. There are 3 air bubblers and also a Fluval canister filter. Took reading last night and nitrite/nitrate were 0 and ammonia was .25. Is he okay? Can’t find much info...

The temp was within the same range and I did acclimate. It may have been the PH. I did not test the old tanks Ph before moving them. The other fish all seem to be doing good.

So I have upgraded from a ten gallon to a 55. First I added partial of the old filter media into the 55. After two days ammonia/nitrite/nitrate were all 0. Moved over the HOB filter to the 55 gallon to run along side the canister to help get the bacteria in. I then moved my other fish. I have 3...

Thank you! I wasn’t sure how the fish less one was done, but I am using old media like you recommended ?

I don’t understand how cycling a tank works if there is no ammonia production? I read that there has to be something creating the ammonia Or the bacteria will die that I added in from the ten gallon, which is why I added the 3 fish in. Is that incorrect?

Thank you!

I am upgrading from a ten gallon with a HOB filter to a 55 gallon with a Fluval canister. I cut a piece of the media from the ten gallon that has been cycled and put it in the Fluval canister two days ago. I also added 3 small fish to continue the Ammonia production. I have tested today and...

So I have spent three days now trying to get my fluval 305 canister to stop leaking. I purchased it used, and at that time it was sealed no problem. Once I got home and took it apart to clean, then put it back together it started leaking from the handles. Took it to the aquarium shop today and...

I’ll try that then, thank you!

I won’t take the ten down until The 55 is up and going. Do you think floating a sponge in the ten gallon for a few weeks and transferring that to the canister will help?

I am upgrading from a ten gallon to a 55 gallon. My current filter is the one that hangs on the back, but the new tank will have a canister filter. To help speed up the cycle I do plan on transferrring some of the used water from the ten gallon. But, can I also float the canister sponges in the...
