So I've got a 29g freshwater community. 9 Neon Tetras 1 Clown Pleco 2 Guppies 6 Corydoras (4 bronze 2 peppered) And 3 baby mollies that I've thought about getting rid of. So I know I've got a bit of room. I had a rubbernose pleco but he died recently, not sure how or why. I wanted to get...

I just got an air pump (rated at 40 I have a 29g) and an air stone. It's supposed to be for a bubble wall. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the air is getting out all along the stone. All of it is coming out of the end that the hose is connected to and next to nothing everywhere is. It's...

I literally JUST saw this white stuff on my black molly. He didn't have it yesterday so this is brand new. It's on his head/eye/mouth. I can't really explain it other than a white thing on him.

So after a while all of my water parameters and everything stabilized and were fine. I tested my water today and all of a sudden my PH is down to 5.5!!! Testing my water and doing a water change at this very moment so I'll post other parameters soon. Should I just be doing water changes to get...

When doing water changes what do YOU put in for water conditioner etc. ? I have Prime for my water conditioner and I have Big Al's bio support which apparently has 300 million live bacteria per teaspoonful. But I also just got "Nutrafin cycle" cause I did some stupid things (change filter...

Is it just me, or can you never get your decorations just where you want them? For me, either the gravel gets all messed up when i start to move things or it just doesn't "feel" right when I've placed everything.

So, I'm completely new to fish (just this year and only a few months) and only freshwater, but I've been thinking of getting a small (maybe like 10g?) tank. I thought it would be freshwater and didn't even think about saltwater! SOO What can all you salties tell me about saltwater? Where would...

So I've tried feeding my clown pleco zucchini, broccoli stems and bits of celery. He's eaten one slice of zucchini but he never touched it the second time I put it in or the broccoli or celery. A) What does he eat?! All of those things I've heard from people here. B) How do you feed them? I've...

So I'd like to recap everything that's happened in the past couple of weeks but I honestly cant remember it all. Too much has happened. With taking a few fish back who I thought attacked others and other fish dying I am now left with 1 Molly 1 Guppy 9 Neon Tetras 4 Bronze cories 1 Clown Pleco...

So right now I'm not quite sure what is going on. My tank was cycled and has fish in it. I had an ammonia spike recently (went up to 2.4) and I did a few water changes. The ammonia is now down to 0.6 but nitrites and nitrates are both 0. What exactly is happening right now?

So I've read that they like to eat sliced cucumbers. Basically, I want to know how to feed them and what to feed them. Whenever I feed, I either don't see him or he's just sitting there. So I guess they don't eat flake food? lol

I'm leaving this forum and finding another one. Sure some of you are knowledgeable and sure some of you genuinely want to help. But there are others who don't help me the way they should. Like not giving me all the information. Or most recently not bothering to respond to any of my threads in...

Recently my small red platy has been hiding behind the filter. I didn't really think anything of it but today at feeding time I noticed that he was EXTREMELY fat. But there was more to it than that. It looked like all of his scales were sticking OUT of his body as if he had like spikes coming...

Tell me what you think! :) Is it good? Bad? Anything you would want to change? I just got the piece of driftwood for my clown pleco :)

29g 2 Mollies 2 Guppies 4 Green and Gold Cories 1 Clown Pleco 9 Neon Tetras 1 Platy I'm looking for additions. I just need some fish I can do some research on. Also, are rainbows and certain types of gouramis good? I want some colour added to the tank. I was looking at some turquoise rainbows...

So just in general I'm confused. I always hear different sides to everything. I hear that bloodfins are nippy here but everywhere else I hear they are fine. Some places I hear angels grow too big for a 29g and others I hear they are fine. I hear that a certain size of school is ideal but I hear...

So I had to remove a guppy and 3 bloodfins. One of my guppies has also just died. I have 2 mollies(male and female) 1 platy(male) 3 green and gold cories 9 neon tetras And 2 guppies(male) Also one of the guppies' tail has a little tear. What can I do to help the healing process And of course...

Hey, I have 3 bloodfin tetras and I was wondering if they would be aggressive? I just noticed today that two of my guppies have parts of their tail gone. It definitely wasn't like that before. Could it have been the bloodfin tetras? Other fish: 9 Neons 1 Platy 2 Mollies 3 Green and gold cories...

I have 2 Mollies (Silver & Black) 1 Red Platy 3 Guppies 3 Bloodfin Tetras 5 Neon Tetras I will add 5 more Neons so that the school is larger. After that is there any more room for anything else? Any other suggestions or things I should fix?

What's the best kind of light to get the most colour out of your fish? I'm not sure what kind of bulb my tank came with but it's making my guppies like very gray, drab and dreary when they are directly under the light. They look a lot better away from the light near the back or lower part of the...

When do you test your water? How often? Should I do it before or after water changes?

So my pineapple Plath died today. I'm not exactly sure why or how. All of my other fish were swimming around normally and she was at the bottom hardly moving. My initial thought was that she was pregnant. Then I noticed today that she actually died. I haven't tested the water yet but will...

Hey, now that my levels are fine I will need to start doing water changes. What is the process of doing this? I have the "vacuum". How much water do I take out? (29 Gallon tank) What is the best way of doing it? HOW do you do it?

So I have a 29 gallon tank that has been set up for a few weeks already. I never really thought about what TYPE of fish I wanted and only really thought "Community fish". It was a good start I think. I didn't think about what fish would go well with others and which would be the best to have...

Hi there! I have just recently gotten into fish and already have my own tank. First I'll tell you a bit about myself and then get into the tank and fish details :p I'm from Ontario, Canada (woo!). I play bass guitar and have been for about 6 years. I just finished my last year of high school...
