I am not sure. They are all brown I know that much. The snails came with a plant I bought.

So I have a 5 gallon with a betta in it. I decided it was time for some buddies for the Betta. I bought two ghost shrimp and two snails. I week or so after i put them in there i had a bunch of baby snails. I tried to take as many as I could out during cleanings but they couldn't be stopped...

They fish I have lost have been all different ones, and I have had them 2-3 months if my memory serves me well.

OK I will raise the temp. I do about a 50% each week. All of my fish seem happy in there tank.

74 Degrees Ph varies a bit between 7.0-7.3 nitrates 30ppm ammonia and nitrite are at zero or just a hair above. I feed them twice a day just enough that they can eat in 3-5 minutes. I do a partial water change once a week.

In the spring I joined the forums after I had bought my 55 Gallon. In the spring I joined the forums after I had bought my 55 Gallon. I have had my tank for around 8 months now. I have a pleco who is about full grown I believe, I think he is about 10-12 inches. I have two angels, one...

Its a 55 gallon, i did about a 15 gallon PWC. And i added 15ml of API stress coat. becayse it says to use 10 ml per 10 gallons.

One Black molly has died, one tiger barb, and one silver tipped shark. The numbers i posted above are the numbers after these guys had died.

The tank is about 2 months old or so. The only new fish are the redtail sharks, but I have had them for about 2 weeks now. I have 3 tiger barbs, 2 silver tip sharks, 3 red tail sharks, one black molly, 1 fancy guppy, and 2 orange platies. I don't think anything got in there because the lids...

nitrate 0-20, nitrite 0, hardness soft, ammonia 0-.25, ph is somewhere between 7.6-7.8. Those are the parameters for my tank. I have lost 3 fish in the past two days. What seems to happen is that they start to breathe heavy and become less active. Is weird because them seem to swim fine for...

Don't know the species, its at 72 degrees and tanks within the norm. I have some barbs, black mollies, platies, and some red tail sharks in there and thats it.

I have one snail that is really lazy. It stays in one spot sometimes for days not even eating. I have 2 other of the same snail and they move all the time. Could there be a problem? Please Help!

Well I came home from work tonight and my glass fish that I had put in my other tank was dead. :(

that will look nice

OK well I am going to try the heat method. Hopefully it works. My poor fish :(

How long should it take for the spots to come off of the fish? Only my glass fish has any spots is that normal? I have treated the tank twice with kordon Rid Ich+. Could it be something else?

Yeah its ICH. I had to work today so my wife went to the lfs and bought some meds for ich. She took out the pleco and the snails and put them in my small 10 gallon. So they don't die from the meds. So I hope I can get rid of it.

My glass fish has some white spots on it. My other fish don't have them. They look kinda fuzzy and they are white. I am not sure what to do or what it is. I have been putting aqua salt in there. If I could get a good picture I would. But he keeps moving. Please let me know any ideas.

I need some advice here. My sister gave me her pleco from her tank because she said she didn't like it much. My question is how do I get rid of all of his poop? Will shrimp/snails/bottom feeders clean that up? Please let me know. Thanks

Sorry for your loss. I had some sort of an eel when I was younger and he did the same thing.

Update: I got the API test kit and tested my water this morning before I went to work. My ph is between 7.2-7.6. My ammonia is at .25. My nitrite is between 0-0.25, its closer to the 0 side. My nitrate is between the 0 and 5, and its closer to the 0 side.

I am just starting out. But I am doing a FW tank.

My sister has a 120 gallon tank and she gave me one of her pcyasmas a.k.a the algae eater and it got out last night some how. But to my surprise I picked it up and I saw it breathing and I put it back in the tank and it swam away and started to clean again.

I did run the tank for about a day before I put the fish in. When I asked at the store the told me it was a good idea to put a few fish in to help the cycle. Was that a bad idea?
