can anyone tell me what kind of algae eater this is?

I just have a random question out of curiosity. I've had my blood parrot for about a year and a half now. When I first got her, she didn't lay eggs till about the 3rd month I had her. After that, she laid eggs EVERY month at the end of the month until Christmas. About 6 months straight...

I've had my blood parrot (along with some gouramis and danios) for about a year now. My blood parrot has been great! My favorite fish. So personable. I moved last weekend to another apartment. I of course moved them with me. All my fish act just fine, but the blood parrot is SO scared of me. I...

Will changing the decorations in my established tank harm the environment in there? I've had my 75 gallon up for about a year, but my blood parrot has gotten so huge that I feel bad he can't swim through anything. I'd like to take out the decor I bought from Petsmart forever ago and put in a...

I am going to be moving from my current apartment to one on the other side of the complex. How should I go about moving my 75 gallon aquarium? How much of the old water do I keep? I planned on buying one of those big Rubbermaid tubs to keep the fish in. It's going to be the last thing I move...

I noticed when I got home today that one of my four danios has a really dark red mouth. It seems to be breathing pretty heavy and is kind of just swimming in one spot. It came up to eat with all the other fish but now its back down where it was swimming. Does it have an infection? And is it...

I have had my blood parrot for 7 months now. It's always been really friendly and interactive with people. Well, the past few days, it FREAKS out if people get too close to the tank. He'll swim around really fast and get as far up in the corner as possible. He does okay if you approach the tank...

I have a 75 gallon tank with a blood parrot cichlid, gouramis, giant danios and a dinosaur bichir. The past couple months, our dinosaur has has this lump/bulge in its stomach. It acts perfectly fine, but I can't help but wonder what's going on with it. It hasn't eaten anything other than...

My blood parrot just laid eggs. It's the only blood parrot in the tank, so no need to worry about them hatching right? Is it okay to just sweep them out tomorrow? I don't want to upset my fish.

What type of algae eater should we get? We currently have a blood parrot, dinosaur bichir, 3 gourami, and 4 danios in our 75 gallon.

Lately, my blood parrot has been shaking or doing seizure-like movements and ramming into the wall on occasion. It's in a 75 gallon tank with gourami and danios. I'm concerned about this fish. Any idea as to why it's acting like this? My water condition is good. I have run the tests.

I bought a dinosaur bichir yesterday and he was doing great. I fed him this morning.. and when i came home from lunch I saw him swimming through a plant. This evening he is NO WHERE to be found! I looked everywhere! He's not under any decor.. he's not in the gravel. He's not in the spare tank...

I am on day 5 of cycling my 75 gallon tank with no fish. The water has been crystal clear until today. It's starting to get really foggy. Is this normal? Is there something I need to be adding to it? Also, the tank is filled with city water. I know I need to get the chlorine out of there. Any...

My aunt has given me a beautiful 75 gallon tank that i am going to start tonight. I have a few questions because I am very much so a beginner. 1) How much gravel do I need to buy to fill the bottom of the tank? 2) Any cycling help would be appreciated. 3) My aunt was running this tank...

I am planning out the fish in my future 75 gallon. I know I at least want one Parrot Cichlid. My boyfriend wants a Bala Shark and a Rainbow Shark. First off, do these alone get along? I've seen the Parrot and the Bala in the same tank before at pet stores. They were also much more grown...

Hello! I am not setting it up yet, but I thought I'd get out there and see what everyone suggests. My aunt is giving me her 75 gallon tank, which she currently is using as a saltwater tank. I won't be setting it up until I have a bigger place (hopefully end of year). My only experience in...

Hello everyone! I just joined today :) I love learning about new fish, and am looking forward to rebuilding another tank. I just lost my goldfish a few days after Christmas :( I'm looking forward to meeting new people, and learning everyones past experiences and advice!!

Hello everyone! I currently only own a 5 gallon tank. (I will eventually be getting a bigger one once i move into a bigger place, hopefully by the end of the year). I am curious as to what fish I should get. I read a single betta would be great. Possibly with a small shrimp. But i also read...
