Looks to me like he scraped himself and it is a small touch of fungus. It does not require treatment; as the wound heals the fungus will go away; but i'd keep an eye on it. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to fully heal but it shouldn't spread.

I'd also raise the temp a few degrees for yoyo; and ensure you have fairly soft water - they don't do that well in hard water.

I've been watching the Mrs. heard her kids around:

Probably too much; esp if you have a pair (m/f) of uaru; they could pretty much own most of the tank. Also the chocolate if a male will get fairly large.

Depends what you want. I would not get a pair of bolivian rams as they can be moody and generally prefer to be solo (not pair). Some of the more passive apisto are fine if the tank is scaped correctly and has soft substrate however they will hunt shrimp. In fact most cichlids will hunt shrimp so...

This is not unusual. Bolivian rams are not social fishes and best kept alone - esp in a smaller tank. The first one probably claimed the tank and now views the second one as an intruder. If not mature they will probably group up and one will assert an alpha role of the group. If they grow up...

Might be a female cockatoo. How large is she ?

There are 100's of pleco and even worse the exact pattern changes on them as they age. I'm not convince it is a common pleco. A few better pictures might help. Also if it is one of the wood eating pleco (such as tiger); it is imperative that you have wood in the aquarium. Malaysian wood is...

cichlids is a genus; some species are more likely to nip at guppies than others; even as juvi.

Pesonally I would remove her. The danger is she might decide she wants the male and er assassinate the other female. Generally speaking no good can happen with a pair + 1 female.

Price of wood has double since the pandemic - i purchased mine just before the pandemic- well about 6 months before. ALso my tank was a bit smaller. I'd at least price glass cages and customaquariums options. I really don't know how much they are but maybe not too bad. Prices have gone up a...

There is a trustful person selling some blood mary shrimps for $1.5 each (darn good price) on planted tank for sale forums. Basically he said he was moving and has 1000 to get rid of.... just a suggestion if you don't care on exact colour.

The problem is that there are no natural electric blue rams; they are line bred and the typical indicators are sometime bred out of the fishes (i.e, females are bred to look like males). - For gold and gbr color morph the pink belly is the solid indicator; for eb colour morph the pink belly is...

If solid wood or metal it will be several hundred dollars - as much as $500. RJ enterprise has a series of solid wood stand - i like the ones without canopy (which i dislike); these are solid wood and not particle board. For custom stand glasscages and customaquariums - but even iwth the plain...

Remove some of them. Species might help as not all cichlids are the same. If it was a tank full of borelli apistogramma i'd expect no bullying. A tank full of green terrors well there is a reason they are called terrors. Generally as a fish mature their behavior changes so consider that aspect...

Yes the glass needs to be cleaned - very bad about splashing water on it. The new tanks will be 22 instead of 24 inches high to make it easier to do stuff without making a mess. I'm looking into options for night video cameras to see if something can be done there to at least confirm who is...

I'm not seeing the hole by the anal fin - there is a large hole by the pectoral fin. L204 are big wood eaters and heavy veggie eaters but like all pleco will eat some meat. here is a decent description: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=126 Here is a picture of one...

Here is a picture of the gold. they are definitely not emacinated; they are eating less eagerly but they still eat plenty. No problem with feces. No discoloration. No holes or marks on the head. I have 5 L204 and 1 undersize lemon female (bn). But they all eat pellets and stuff. The lemon bn is...

Some people had thought it might be Hexamita. THe loaches have small pointed mouths - about 1/4 the size of the sores. I've tired looking in the tank at night - i have to use a flash light but i never seen much - i should probably get a red filter for the light - the angels are usually asleep...

Thank you! I removed the large bn i had this weekend but you are the first person to confirm that a bn will do this sort of damage. I talked to a few loach owners and they uniformly said that a loach attack would damage fins first. I spent 2 days arguing with someone that angel on angel...

I have 5 angels together in a 120 that were raised as fry - most have marks similar to the attached picture - the gold ones have very few (the large male only 2; the female 2 or 3 but much smaller). The question is - is this being caused by another fish (such as a bn pleco sucking the slime); or...

I always have bad luck with this plant. I got one to stalk to actually grow for about 4 months with new sprouts and everything but then suddenly something happen and it melted into nothing. I find it interesting it grows well in brackish tank - does that mean it needs extremely hard water or...

Females have almost no colouring are you sure the second fish is a female ? Can you post pictures of the pair ?

You could consider borelli apistogramma or 3 honey gourami if you want but a 20 high doesn't have a lot of swimming room. It wouldn't hurt to add 3 more neon.

You didn't indicate the number of neon tetra you currently have. Also is this a 20 long or a 20 high ? I'd avoid the dwarf gourami in either case - they are nice looking fishes but their behavior can be unpredictable - sometime they work out but sometime they become bullies and given it is much...
