I recently researched and bought 2 dalmation lyretail mollies, 4 mickey mouse platys, 4 regular platys, 2 black sailfin mollies (sadly 1 died on day one and the other has a horrible case of ick) and 2 red cap oranda goldfish. According to my research all of these like water in the 75 degree...

I brought home 6 new fancy guppies this weekend and they're dying off one by one even with treatment!!! I am treating the ich with salt, warm temps and Coppersafe. Now one of the guppies is developing this cotton-y tufts covering its body and beneath the tufts are what looks like his meat...

I'm throwing a fit!! I bought 5 females and 3 male fancy guppies 2 months ago, put them in a fully cycled 20 gallon tank with some salt...cranked the temp, heavily planted the tank with fake plants and I've waited...and waited...and waited!!!! In the past 2 months we've only had 1 guppy...

Did anyone else ask for a digital camera for Christmas...just so that they could take pictures of their tanks?! I'm sure I might take a couple of pic's of my daughter too!!!! :wave:

At my LFS the owner is setting up a 12 gallon eclipse for saltwater. I currently have 2 freshwater tanks set up so a tank this size would be great for a beginner to see if I like SW. What else do I need to add to this. I would like 2-3 clown fish - how about an anemonie. He also has live...

I was reading in Dr.s Foster/Smith that freshwater clams eat nitrates and are great for turning a not so clear tank to crystal clear. For my 55 I was thinking of having my LFS order a couple clams and some snails for me. What do you think? The clams are on their website (might be...

I was checking out my 55 gal tank, relaxing, this morning and noticed that my blue gourami is discolored to a reddish brown in places. My water is testing at 0 ppm for ammonia and 7.5 ph. I just did a 20% water change on Tuesday. Any ideas?

How do I keep my baby convicts alive? I'm just soooo excited to be a new mom (I'm sure it won't be the first time!) I forgot what to do? I have a 55 gal tank with mom & dad, 2 firemouths, 1 pink convict, 1 pleco, 1 blue gourami and 1 eel. I have 2 HOB filters and turned the one closest to the...

I am hoping you guys can help. I fell in love with an eel at my LFS. I figured I bring him home and search the internet to find out more information--but all it says is about saltwater eels. I know that I have to hand feed him krill twice a week. He is now squiggling over my 55 gal and...

I have an adult male convict cichlid whose mate died recently. I replaced her with 2 juvenile convict cichlids. How long until they can mate? :kiss: How long does it take fish in general to "grow up"?

Hello experts!!! My tank has been extra stinky lately--any ideas? It's a 55 gal with approx 12 juvenile fish in it (mostly cichlids). I tested ammonia and it is at 0 and the ph is at 7. I replaced my filters 2 days ago - it'd only been 2 weeks since I did this last. Any ideas? I've tried...

I just committed a sin this weekend...I bought a beautiful tiger oscar from...Petco. Sorry! I didn't know!!! The little guy was beautiful in the store but when I brought him home and put him in my tank he'd turned white/gray! I've been told that Stress Coat is marijuanna for fish and not to...
