I had purchased a female guppy from the LFS about a week ago. She was fat, so we assumed she was pregnant. Yesterday, I noticed she was lethargic and laying on the bottom of the tank. I looked closely and noticed that it appeared something was trying to come out of her butt hole (sorry I dont...

I noticed this morning that it appears a couple of my sweeties have fin rot, and my Panda Cory Cat was laying on it's side on the bottom of the tank. I immediately called work to tell them I may be a little late, and got started on a 50% water change. The Cory Cat immediately hopped right up...

There are a few pics in my photo album of my new rams... they're so sweet and so beautiful! Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum Community - saa5886's Album: Fish 11/1/10

My tank has been established for quite a while now, but I had a blonde moment and when I cut a slit into my filter cartridge (this was a long time ago when I had an ich outbreak) I cut it into the side and now all the carbon falls out. I was wondering, since it's an established tank, is it okay...

I decided to re-do the decoration portion of my tank today, and added new gravel (wanted a different color) and a new piece of driftwood to the tank. I boiled the driftwood for an hour before placing it in the tank, and also boiled and thoroughly cleaned the rocks before-hand. I also added three...

Does anyone one know if there is such a thing as an aquarium that isnt very deep? I'm wanting to put one on our kitchen bar, but it cant be deeper than 9 inches. The width and height don't matter too much, but the main support for the bar is only 9 inches or so...

I just thought I would share a video of my babies... Thinking of eventually changing out the rock to eventually being all that natural color as opposed to the white. I'm in the process of growing real plants in the tank but there is only a little peek of a leaf right now so I left the fake ones...

I have a molly who, when I got her a month ago, was white on her stomach and kind of brown and light brown spotted on top. Now she's changed to white on bottom and black on top. Is this normal or something I should be worried about? PS: She's acting fine. Params are good. No deaths. Everyone is...

It seems like every time my Mollies have fry, the vast majority of them die within the day, and only one ends up surviving. I have a separate fry tank for them that after she gives birth, I immediately move them into. The water is 100% clean brand new distilled water with Prime in it. Could it...

I got a betta fish and had introduced him into my community tank. Well, my male black molly wasn't too thrilled and started nipping at his fins, so I decided to separate him with one of those little clear breeder things for now. I have a one gallon tank I got from walmart. It's one of those...

Well, I was cleaning out a fry tank, and couldnt see one of the newborns because of it's coloring (he blended right in!) and I hit him in the head on accident. Well, he's still breathing, but he won't move. If you poke him he just floats around like he's dead. His left fin is moving, but his...

My tank has now been up and running for a few months now, and everything is looking great! I have.... 4 Mollies 1 Guppy 3 Ghost Shrimp 1 Snail 1 CAE 1 Albino Cory Catfish Its my 25 gallon tank.. I guess I wanted to know... will a Betta (just one) get along with these tank mates? I know the...

I just noticed today that my molly fry is missing her tail fin. She isnt showing any signs of being sick, and neither is anyone else in the tank. Shes the only one with any issues. Any idea on what this could be?

I just did a water change after seeing elevated levels in all params (I'm sure its due to adding a new fish, which I expected to have to do a water change for)... I used the filtered fridge water like always, and added prime. The temp of the water is 77 degrees. Heres the weird thing... since...

I went to walmart last night and couldn't help looking in the fishy section. When I did, I came across probably the coolest looking Molly I've ever seen. Shes solid white on the bottom, and brown, yes brown, on the top (it's actually a mixture of black and orange but its so close together it...

lol so my mollies are eating the algae wafers I got for my CAE, since there isnt any established algae in the tank. How in the world do i get them to quit it? I've even put my hand in the tank to separate them, but the CAE wasnt getting it lol..

So as many of you know, I QTed my black molly into a different tank. He went from the 25 gallon to a small 3 gallon setup. I noticed over time he would sit in a certain position in this tiny setup, basically curving his spine in an S shape. When I moved him back into the 25 gallon today, I...

I picked up an API test kit yesterday...freakin thing was $30! Anyway I took my measurements and heres what they are... PH-7.5 Nitrite .25 Nitrate 5.0 Ammonia 2.0 I'm out of money now that I got this kit...soI'm stuck with doing water changes..as for chemicals, all I have is Prime and awater...

As many of you know, I have a newly setup tank that's about 4 weeks old. About 4 days ago all of my fish got ich. I was advised to remove everything from the tank and boil it to kill the diseases. Now, still with nothing in the tank, my water is all foggy white again. I have been using meds...

Well, they all survived last night! My mind was blown when I awoke this morning to all-living fishies! Looks like the meds and salt are working great! It even looks like some of the Ich is starting to disappear! My pregnant Molly is looking better than ever, but I have no idea where to move her...

Alright so....I've lost the majority of my fish now to this horrible disease..I even did a huge water change (about 90%) and now ALL my fish are covered. I've been treating with these blue Ich tablets you get at the store (it says one per 10 gallons, so I used 2 and a half...25 gallon tank)... I...

As many of you may know, one of my Mollies gave birth in the middle of the night about a week ago. Of course the majority were eaten, but I was able to save 4 of them and place them into a separate 1 gallon tank (I just transferred the same water over so no shock)... Well, they all seem to be...

I've noticed that for the past few days, one of my female Mollys has been resting on the bottom of the tank, as if she's sleeping or something. She's very much alive, and every once in a while will go to the top for some air, but she always ends up back at the bottom. I have also noticed she is...

As many of you may know...when choosing my fish for my 25 gallon tank...I got lucky and found a Molly who was extremely preggo. Well, shes due to give birth any day and so far I've gotten a 5 gallon clear plastic container to put the babies in with some carpeted fake plants for them to hide in...

I just wanted to let everyone know my fish are doing great. I'm still doing the daily 25% water changes and treating the new water before I pour it in very slowly. Also wanted to let you guys know one of my Mollys is expecting babies! She's doing well, still active, but I'm having trouble...
