He was in an elementary school tank..all the fish ended up dying most likely from the stress of the kids who didn't care how often they hit the tank forcefully. Now the pleco is bloated looking. I've tried to feed him peas, he ate one out of my hand but that was it. He's not much of a veggie...

So..at the tank I care for at the elementary school I came to feed the fish and saw a surprise today. In the corner there were fish eggs! They had to of come from my black skirt tetras. My question is, what do I do now? They weren't there yesterday but were there this morning. It's a 55 gallon...

I bought a mystery snail from Petsmart a few days ago and he's been doing well and active. Today he was active and then a few minutes ago I noticed him floating at the top of the tank. He's not "hanging out" or anything and I felt him and he still feels firm but even if I put him at the bottom...

I've been taking care of a 55 gallon aquarium at my workplace and one of the black skirt tetras came down with what seemed to be dropsy. Treated him at home in a 5 gallon aquarium with marcyn-two and his scales and completely back to normal (no more pine coning), no more eyes bulging (and they...

Selling an Optima air pump that I no longer need. Still works. I'm asking $15 dollars for it. Not sure what shipping cost would be, I'll figure that up if someone is interested in it. :) Best bet would probably be a flat rate USPS box for shipping. Specifications: - 1 outlet - 5000 cc/minute -...

Still taking care of the tank at an elementary school and today I noticed that one of my plecos has a bald spot on him and he isn't being very active..just kind of hanging out near the bottom and not swimming around much. I have 2 plecos, both of which are very active and swim around the tank...

Still redoing the 55 gallon fish tank at an elementary school and have 4 black skirt tetras currently. There's not enough algae growth yet, but when the time comes I'm going to get a pleco. I only have petsmart/petco/walmart so I'll have to buy a pleco from there. My question is, apart from...

The 55 gallon at the school I'm redoing is officially cycled. I bought 4 black skirt tetras for it today. Now my question is, when the time comes which fish would mesh well with the black skirt tetras? Thanks!

I'm in the process of cycling my little 5 gallon aquarium, the levels are already almost clear but the gravel is getting algae on it. How can I keep algae off the gravel? Is it safe to put a fish in (once the tank is done cycling) with algae on the rocks? Once I have a fish in there how can I...

I have pictures now to go along with my question. I have a 5 gallon aquarium and I really wanted to get a betta. My concern is the hole in the back where the filter is. Do you think the betta could jump out? Since they're known for jumping to their deaths at times. Also, I was looking into...

I have a 5 gallon aquarium I wanted to get a fish for. Just one fish is fine or a few that would be okay in a 5 gallon Do ghost shrimp get along with any fish/won't be eaten by other fish? What are the advantages and disadvantages of ghost shrimp? I wanted to get a betta, but with my hood light...

I'm working on redoing a 55 gallon aquarium at an elementary school. I bought an undergravel filter for it. So my question is how many pounds of gravel do I need for this tank? I was told two 25 pound bags, then I was also told to put an inch and a half of gravel per gallon of the tank size...

They're brand new, still in the box with the manuals and both have bulbs. Can send pictures if wanted. I've never used them. Aqueon brand. Was hoping for $50 for both. Don't want to sell them separately. Willing to ship as long as you pay the shipping cost. Just let me know if interested. :D

I took on the job on cleaning and taking care of this fish tank at my work that was neglected. All the fish died but one, which I tried to save but the poor thing still didn't make it. I'm going to be redoing the tank. What fish can get along with each other and would look nice together? It's...

I rescued a rosy barb from a tank that had not been cleaned out since around October, all the fish died in it but this one fish. This fish sadly didn't make it, I had been keeping it in a 5 gallon tank that I bought from Walmart. What's the best way to sanitize this tank so it's safe for another...

I have two 24" full hoods with the bulbs, brand new still in box, never taken out. They came with an aquarium I bought for my turtle, but I use a screen top instead of hoods for her. Says they're Aqueon brand, has two Aqueon bulbs also and they have manuals with them too. Just make me an offer. :D
