Hi guys. I just recently added 6 glofish to my tank. Ever since they went in one of my angels went on a hunger strike. He looks fine physically but he's not his usual feisty self. All the other fish are fine and acting normally. My water stats are 0, 0, 10. Do you think he's not feeling well or...

Just wondering if you guys think she's pregnant. I just got her a week ago and I'm not sure if she's bigger than when I first got her since she hid for the first few days. I've never had any female livebearers before so I'm pretty clueles. How do you know when they're close to having babies...

I just finished treating my tank for ICH. The water is kind of cloudy now. Is this normal after medicating your tank? I just put the carbon back in last night. Will it clear up on its own? thanks!

I have a male guppy that has white stringy poo. He doesn't swim around much and only eats a tiny bit. I QT'd and used jungle parasite clear since I've read that stringy white poo often means an internal parasite. I also gave him a pea in case it's constipation. He still has the weird poop but...

Hi guys! Anyone use this product? Did it work for you? If I need to do a second treatment should I change water first? It doesn't say on the bottle that you have to. Also should I turn the heat back down or leave it high? I just just put this in my tank a couple minutes ago. I was trying the...

My 10 gallon tank is cycled....been a couple months now. A few days ago the water got a bit murky looking. Water params are where they should be, no new fish, decorations or substrate. I vacume and change 25-50% water each week. I have 3 cory cats and a betta fish in there. I can't think of...

I got a BN pleco a few days ago. I put in a piece of wood for him and bought algae discs but my little piggy cories eat them before the pleco gets a chance. I know you're supposed to feed vegies too but not sure what. I've heard cucumber, zucinni, and yams. Do they need to be cooked at all and...

Hi all! I just bought a bristlenosed pleco tonight and he is quite the handsome fella. I read somewhere that they need bogwood in the tank. I guess they like to munch on it? Will he be ok without it? I don't really have room for any more decorations. Do I put just one algae wafer in a day...

Hi guys. It's me....again. lol Well, I have an albino corycat that I just moved into quarentine. His fins are clamped and I just noticed that he has a few little red dots on his side. He hasn't eaten and just sits around most of the time. Water params....ammonia 0ppm, nitrite 0ppm and nitrate...

The Ph in my 48 gallon is high. My test card goes up to 7.6 but the colour is even deeper blue than the highest reading on my card. I was at the LFS today and he said that's too high for tropical fish. Everyone in there looks healthy and happy but now I'm a little freaked out about what the fish...

I have a 48 gallon tall tank. 31H 20L 18W I have 2 angels, 9 neons, 6 guppies and 4 albino cory cats. I want to get one more larger centerpiece type of fish. I was thinking of a pearl gourami but I'm not sure if they will eat my smaller fish. Can they be alone or do they have to be in pairs or...

I want to get a couple of algae eaters. I don't want anything too big or that needs to be in a shoal...something around 3-4 inches. I have angels, guppies, neons and corycats in there now. I will be adding either a pearl gourami or blood parrot eventually so something that will get along with...

Hi all. I have a sick dwarf gourami. I have another thread going about him so some of you may know a bit of what's going on already. He has a wound on his side. It was red and swollen and a few days later there was white stuff on it. His poop is long white and stringy. He hides most of the time...

Hi guys! Just wondering if you quarantine your new fish for 2 weeks. I don't have a quarantine tank set up yet and I want to get some new fish tonight. So, who does or doesn't do it and how important do you think it is or isn't? Did that make sense? lol Well, you guys get the idea. :)

Last night I moved 6 of my fish into my newly fishless cycled 48 gallon tall tank. So far I moved from my 10 gallon.... 2 young angels, 2 guppies and 2 albino cory cats. Everyone was super freaked out at first and hid or just sat there. Everyone seems good now except the angles are hanging out...

If I use Jungle fungus eliminator will it kill my beneficial bacteria? My tank is newly cycled and I don't have a quarentine tank yet. I'll have one in a few days. Should I wait? I've been trying stresscoat and aquarium salt and my dwarf gourami isn't getting any better. He has a weird ulcer...

Ok...I'm a bit confused with this whole fishless cycle thing. Nitrites showed up on day 7 starting a .25 and working their way up every day. I find the colours hard to read once they get past 1ppm. The 1 and 5 look almost the same to me. I'm pretty sure they went to 5 for a couple of days then...

My DG got a weird thing that looked sort of like a pimple a few weeks back. I put stress coat and put a bit of aquarium salt in with water changes. It seemed to get better. The tip came off leaving a scar that looked like it was healing over. I just noticed today it looks a little sunken in and...

So, the fishless cycle on my 48 gallon is coming along nicely. Nitrites have spiked and ammonia levels are dropping. I'm just wondering if they're dropping too much. I added enough ammonia late yesterday afternoon to bring the levels to around 3ppm. This morning when I tested it was .25ppm...

I have two young angelfish in a 10 gallon tank. They're being moved to a 48 gallon as soon as it's cycled. Do I need more than 2 to keep the peace when they get older or will it be ok just to have the two of them? I keep reading different things so I was wondering if you guys have an opinion...

I'm doing a fishless cycle on a 48 gallon tank. Hopefully it will be ready for fish soon. I'm moving my fish into the 48 gallon from another tank that I have. I want to move... 5 neons and 2 guppies first 2 young angelfish next 1 dwarf gourami next 2 albino cories next Can I put the neons and...

I have 2 young angelfish and I was wondering if there is a way to tell which sex they are. They're in a 10 gallon right now but they're moving to a 48 gallon tall tank as soon as it's cycled.

I have a male betta in a 3 gallon tank with 2 little pepper cories. I want to move them my ten gallon tank. What else can go in there with them?

Ooops. The title should read....filter change on almost cycled tank. lol Anyway, I have a 10 gallon tank that is on the brink of being fully cycled. I do a partial 25% water change everyday and the nitrites go down to between 0-.25 Usually back up to around .25 the next morning. I had to rinse...

I started my fishless cycle last night. My ammonia is around 3-4ppm. Hard to tell the colours look really similar to me. Came home from work today and the water is so cloudy you can hardly see inside the tank. Is this normal? I have the heat up pretty high and I put some stones and shells in...
