Everytime I do a partial water change and/or a gentle gravel vacuuming, I have come to expect a milky haze from a bacteria bloom to cloud my aquarium for 3 to 7 days. I got to the point of frustration that I would decrease the frequency at which I would perform water changes so that I could...

This morning, for the first time ever, I opened all the blinds in the room in which my aquarium is located and let all the sunshine come in. I love the look of the aqaurium this way much more than artificial light. I can see the colors and details of my fish and plants like never before. Of...

About a week ago I noticed that the smallest of my 5 Zebra Danios has turned yellowish. Today I noticed another one turning yellowish. Does anyone know why this is happening?

My neighbor just told me about all these things he saw in his pool wiggling around. Immediately I thought, Cool!! he's got live mosquito larvae in his pool - I can use this as a food source for my fish! Indeed, they were mosquito larvae and he has literally hundreds of thousands of these...

On two occasions so far, I forgot to turn on the lights on my tank before I left for work. Each time the water happened to be a little cloudy. When I finally turned the lights on the following morning the water was so clear it looked as though I had run the Diatom Filter for 2 hours! After I...

This morning (before my cup of coffee) I decided to put my final dosage of AlgaeFix in my 29 gallon tank. Instead of grabbing the AlgaeFix bottle I mistakenly grabbed the pH Indicator solution (Bromothymol Blue). After adding 5 drops I noticed the bluish-green color of the drops. I panicked...

Can I change my username to "aFISHionado" from "the_aFISHionad"? Ever since it got truncated it loses it's meaning. Thank you.

I have included a pic of a new addition to my aquarium. Can anyone identify this plant? If so, can you tell me more about it? Thank you.

I was just reading a thread that referenced "SAE" and noticed that it was not highlighted in red for balloon description. Not sure if this is the right place for this post (sorry if it isn't) - just wanted to bring it to an Admin's attention.

Some of the leaves of my 2 Cryptocoryne Luteas are turning brownish, yet the leaves are still very strong. Is this a sign of dying leaves or just the nature of this plant?

Just curious....Does anyone take into acount the volume displaced by driftwood, large rocks and all their gravel when dosing their aquariums with treatment?

Has anyone used a phosphate reducing filter pad? I was thinking of getting one to help control my algae. HBH makes them and they're available at PetSmart. Here's a link: http://www.petsmart.com/products/product_35942.shtml Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

6 days ago I added a Violet Goby (Dragon Eel) to my 29 gallon tank. He seemed totally fine for several days although I have yet to see him eat. After 3 days I woke up in the morning unable to find him in the tank. Sure enough, I looked on the floor and there he was covered in dog hair and...

I just got a 7" Dragon Eel for my 29 gallon today. He looks aggressive but apparently is pretty peacful. I must say he is the most interesting fish I have ever had (I have included his pick here). The problem I am having is getting him to eat. I hear their eyesight is poor and that is part...

Why was Abe's (he's my friend btw) theme tank thread moved to the lounge? I can't believe that some think that this is off the wall. He REALLY wants to create a theme tank. What's wrong with that?

I was wondering if anyone here has had success with undergravel filters and live plants. I have had an aquarium with such a setup for 3 months now and so far, so good. It is my 1st planted tank and I didn't do my homework and got the UGF and live plants at the same time. I have another...
