Hey guys! Can anyone tell me what this tentacle belongs to? I've tried to find it with the magic of Google and just cannot find anything that looks like it. I've got several in my aquarium that come out after the lights go off. They seem to just have one tentacle each. I can't see what the...

This might seem a bit random, and I'm not even sure I've put this post in the right category, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I've got a couple of dead gorgonians from work. Are they safe to put in a freshwater tank? I want to attach moss to them so they look like trees to use in an...

Can anyone identify this for me pretty please? There are several large patches of white on the inside of the aquarium glass. They look like bacteria growing in a Petri dish! I have no idea what it is. Is it an algae? Should I be worried? I've tried googling it, but can't find anything that...

So I've just come home from work to find loads of tiny beige/white balls all over the substrate of my aquarium. I'd love them to be eggs from my false julii corys but I don't think they are. What's confusing me is that they're just loose on the substrate, they're not stuck on the glass or leaves...

So I just had to show off my new fishy to people that would actually appreciate him :D isn't he gorgeous! What do you think? :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok, so ive bought a 19L tank for a siamese fighter I've fallen in love with at work. I've had filter media maturing in my other tank for over a month, so don't worry, he's not going to be going straight into an uncycled aquarium. I don't know how to decorate it though. Thought I'd see if anyone...

OK, ive got Blue green algae again in my tank and need some advice on how to get rid of it. I had it about 4 months ago but it disappeared when I moved house and at the same time I stripped the whole tank down and replaced everything except the filter which I scrubbed to death ;) Its now just...

What is this weird clear white jelly thing? Is it going to be a flower?

Hi, I've recently taken charge of a huge outdoor pond at work. We had a lot of large koi die on us over the winter and as I'm the person that knows the most about fish at work I'm now responsible for sorting it all out. trouble Is, I have no experience with cold water fish so I need some advice...

Hi, I'm getting worried about one of my cpd's. She's getting really thin and her stomach is quite sunken now. She's still active, eating, swimming with the others and doesn't have clamped fins. She still seems to be eating, though doesn't seem quite as interested as the others. Could be just...

I've just seen blue pearl s shrimp and bumble bee shrimp on ebay, never seen them before but I think they're beautiful! I really don't know much about shrimp at all, but was wondering if I could have some in my tank? I've got a 48l cube and will be having 6 corydoras habrosus, six galaxy...

Ok, I've bought a bag of silver sand to put in my tank instead of the gravel that's already there . Any tips on how to go about switching them out? I know I'm gonna have to rinse the sand a LOT, but I'm a bit confused about the logistics of getting the gravel out, how best to put the sand in...

My three spot gourami seems to have changed colour overnight. Hes usually pale on his "chin", but now hes got stripes there. The stripes he had before are much darker and the back half of his body has merged into one colour rather than blue blotches on the pale blue base colour he had before...

I got a free sample of nt labs marine ocean food 55 with a magazine. it is for feeding to marine fish, but could I feed it to my three spot gourami for example? Are there any reasons why I couldn't? If I can't, I can give it to a friend who has a goby, I'm just curious :)

I've applied for a job at a new maidenhead aquatics store that's going to be opening just around the corner from me :D any hints and tips for if I get an interview? And does anyone have any words of wisdom if I get the job? :D keep all your fingers crossed for me!

I've got a 48 litre tank that is lit with two 15w cfls (i think that's what they're called). One of them keeps blowing and I'm having to replace it fairly regularly. At £15 a go, this is getting fairly expensive.so I was wondering if I could use household energy saving bulbs instead (£3 each) if...

Can you mix a male three spot gourami with a male and two female dwarf gouramis? Ive got a three spot gourami that I took from a friend as she had two gouramis in an 8 (uk) gallon tank. He really still needs a much bigger tank though as mine is only a10 gallon (again, uk gallons). I've got...

I'm thinking of starting again with my 10 (uk) gallon tank, and would like some advice on what would thrive in a tank this small. I want to get some dwarf corydoras, and have either harlequin rasboras, celestial pearl danios, or a betta to go with them, or a mixture if that is at all possible...

Am I right in thinking that white stringy fish poo is a sign of internal parasites? One of my guppies has started acting a little bit lethargic, shes a tiny bit paler and has started hanging up near the surface of the water by the filter. Then I noticed stringy white poo and thought uh-oh. I've...

Hi, I've posted about my cory before, but haven't ever seemed to find someone who knows what's wrong. I lost several corys before all with the same symptoms. They get very lethargic and start swaying and drifting in the current. They get to the point where they can't stay upright and almost...

Hi, I use the android app on my phone, and while sending a private message, I got a screen pop up to tell me I have filed my quota of messages and can't send any more until I've made room. I can't see how to delete the messages though. Am I being really stupid? :/ I tried searching, but...

After a year of having fish, I finally got to see my guppy giving birth :D it was amazing! And so quick :) the babies are so tiny too, but I have no idea how she fitted that many inside her :)

Whats the minimum tank size for an electric blue ram? Do they need to be kept singly, or as a pair? And are they good in a community tank?

I've heard about using salt and raising the temperature, but I can't use salt with plants can I? I've got a bottle of chemical thats supposed to get rid of it, but it's got formaldehyde and malachite green in it. I've heard that thats a really bad thing to use with corys so I don't want to use...

I've had ones that look like pond snails, and flat spiral type ones, but this is new to me. They burrow in the gravel, and just appeared a couple of weeks ago. What is it?
