Sort of a silly question, but I am getting tired of the water changes in my tank and I cannot afford a python to make it easier, would it be be feasible to add all of the water back using a garden hose and then add the declorinator, I don't want to jeopardize the health of my fish. But bringing...

So i was cleaning out my larger aquarium and I had clipped the tube to siphon out the water into the tank and i was using the other end to wash out my filter, and I happed to glance up in time to see one of my female bettas decide to investigate the clear tube in the aquarium. :( needless to...

So one of my new little Otocinclus has Ich, well at least i think he has it looks like some one sprinked salt on him, so i think its safe to say he has ich, none of the other fish seem to have it, so it has not gone into free swimming stage yet. So i have him in a bucket with something to hid...

I want some MTS in my tank because i want the substrate to be stirred so i can stop doing it, my question is do they kill your live plants?

I bought a Ludwigia Repens about 5 months ago, or at least thats what i think its a Ludwigia Repens i don't really remember. and the base of the plant is slowly getting thinner and its all falling apart. Other than that it seems fine like the leafs seem happy, but its just falling apart at the...

I got 6 Otocinclus almost 2 weeks ago and i put them in my 27 gallon, but now they seem to be dying 2 so far. the first one was really lethargic and kept getting on its back but i could see it berthing. The second one had no symptoms and they died within 48 hours of each other. So should i scoop...

I don’t know if this should be in the sick/unhealthy or here but they're dead already so I guess they are no longer sick. My platy gave birth within three weeks of her last “batch” of fry. I have them setup in a ten gallon tank; it has a heater and an airstone but no filter. Well only three fish...
