Presently the house that I live in has city water. I will be moving to a new house at the end of next month which has well water. I've had FL well water before, but never had fish at that time. I'm told that there is an "aerator" connected to the water supply. I know what an aerator is, but...

Ok, I noticed similar posts and found out that they ARE nerite eggs. I didn't think they bred in freshwater. Or I guess they lay eggs, but they don't survive, huh? I wouldn't mind having a few more nerites. Is there anything I can do to help them survive or is it a lost cause? Tried to cancel...

I just noticed these hard white spots inside one of my tanks. It is a 23 gal flatback hex with a male betta, 3 ADF's, 5 nerites and a BN. (There were 2 BN's in there, but last week during a water change, I took out a piece of decor with the BN still on it (I think), put it on the floor and my...

Is there a solution to this? I have a 55 gal goldfish tank with all plastic plants. Yah, I know. I don't like plastic either, but goldies aren't terribly compatible with real plants and I don't have the money to keep replacing plants that they want to eat for dinner! Most of my plastic...

I have a 60 gal tank with 4 angels, 2 apple snails, 1 small ivory snail, 1 raphael cat, 1 rainbow shark, 2 BN's, 1 platy, 1 DG and 1 serpae tetra. I know the last three should be in schools, but somehow this tank ended up as a respository for fish from other tanks or fish whose schoolmates have...

Not sure if this is a disease or not, but its probably a problem. I have an oranda goldfish, Cisco that I have had for a year now. He's about 3" long, not counting tail. He's one of the rounder, baby-faced orandas, not the slimmer red-caps, which I think might be part of the problem (round body...

On 5-8-11 I noticed my rainbow shark had fin rot, "white eyes" (not pop eyes) and white "stuff" on his mouth and on his head. Did a water test and noticed I had ph of less than 6, ammo of .5, nitrite of 0 and nitrate was 40! Very abnormal for this tank and the probable cause of the shark's...

Hi all! Need some advice ASAP. I have a 30 gal goldfish tank which is too small for four goldies. Last weekend I bought a 55 gal and set it up with just gravel, filled it with water and am running a clean filter on it just to keep the water circulating (I would have preferred a 60 but this...

Ok, I had to set up a tank strictly for my african dwarf frogs. I used a filter that had been set up in another healthy tank, a seeded sponge from another filter (I always keep extra sponges in all of my filters), new gravel, heater, some plants. Let it run for about 24 hours then added frogs...

Hi, I am Judie from FL. New to fishkeeping. Started out "simply" with a small goldfish tank. LOL! First thing I learned, there is nothing simple about goldfish or fishkeeping in general. Next thing I learned, you can't keep four goldfish in a 13 gal tank. Next, don't trust the clerks in...
