Today i visited my LFS to buy foods, and found that they were selling live bloodworms. I bought a container of them, and although I do have a bunch of them, they will eventually run out. The salesperson told me to put them in my Fridge (but not freezer) so they last longer. However I want to...

I had one of my Rams die several weeks ago, it slowly lost its appetite, and refused to eat. I noticed that sticking out of its anus was some spiney bits, its stomach was sunken, and became lethargic. Now my lone ram is starting to display the same symptoms, however the strange thing is none of...

So i was siting in my room and I heard a large ''bloop'' sound. I looked behind me at my Betta tank, and notice I didn't see my Betta! I looked everywhere around the tank, and found him on the floor behind the desk. I threw him back in the tank, he sank for a second then started moving again...

As i was doing my water change today on my 46 Gallon, I noticed something strange. I saw one of my Blue Rams had lodged itself into the roots of a Water Sprite. I feared the worst, thinking it died and got it out of the roots. To my horror i saw that its body was bent into a U-shape and it was...

I'm leaving on a 3 Week trip to Seattle, and I want some feedback on what to do with my Fish tank. My parents are willing to feed my fish, but are definitely unwilling to perform a water change on my tanks. To solve this, I bought a cheap 1 Gallon bowl for my Betta and gave it to my Girlfriend...

I added 6 peppered cory cats about two days ago. I love these little guys, and I'm very glad I got them. However I have some questions that I couldn't Google well enough. My Cory Cats like to run up and down the glass of the tank, and tend to stay hovering and swimming around alot. I've read...

I've been having this issue ever since I got Harlequin Rasboras, and it seems to come on and off every once in a while. About two weeks ago one of my Rasboras had some strange fungus covering it, started swimming erratically, constantly twitching, and wouldn't school with the rest of the group...

I went on a vacation for about 3 Days, and asked my parents to feed my fish while i was gone. When I got back my tank was almost covered in black beard algae. I had some already, but it was in small amounts. I fear that my parents overfed my tank, and there was alot more nutrients in the tank...

I've noticed some strange behavior with my Red Tiger Lotus. About 2 hours after I turn off the lights on my tank, but the room light remains on, the lily parts of the RTL starts to bend almost 90 degrees, in a way that I assume its trying to soak up light from the room light. For anyone with...

Hey all, several of my fish have been displaying signs of fungus. They're all still healthy, but i want to eliminate it as fast as possible. I dont have a Quarantine tank, so i'm likely going to try and dose my tank with API Fungus cure. However i'm not sure if its safe for plants and inverts...

I have several Anubias plants in my tank, different species, but I forgot the names of them. Two of the Anubias plants have been showing some of the leaves (the older leaves) starting to yellow up, staring from the tips. additionally, some of the leaves have pin holes in them. My tank is dirt...

I have my new 46 Gallon tank set up as of yesterday. My stock list is 8 Harlequin Rasboras, 5 Amano shrimp, 2 German blue Rams, 1 Dwarf Gourami, 5 Platys, 1 Albino Bristlenose. I'm looking to add more fish, but i'm not quite sure what to add. I was leaning towards a Single Angelfish, but I'm...

Third Tank i've setup in about a year, and in the process, decommisioning my 29 Gallon tank to make way for this baby. I'm using Miracle-gro Organic soil, and I've added red clay underneath the substrate as an iron source for the plants and capped it all with Gravel. I'm going to probably...

Hey all, With my 46 Gallon tank being set up, I will gave a 29 gallon tank that I was going to sell, but my grandfather seems interested in it and I might just give the 29 To him. I was pondering the idea of setting up a Betta-harem tank for, One male Betta and between 3 and 5 femae bettas...

I'm the proud new owner of a 46 Gallon aquarium, however the tank itself is a bit dirty toward the top with water sains, where the water line probably was. It looks pretty ugly, and i'm trying to scrub it off, but it just wont go away. I've tried taking a damp towel with a 50/50 mix of vinegar...

Hey all, I was considering replacing my 29 Gallon tank with a 46 Gallon tank, but I've ultimately decided against it due to cost and space issues. Instead I'm going to go about redoing my 29 Gallon tank. I'd like to some advice on where to put the fish in the mean time. I have 2 5 Gallon...

I just looked at my breeder trap very closely for the first time in a few days, been very busy with school and hadn't the opportunity. And I noticed one of my Platy fry was missing! I removed the decorations and nothing in there but 2 Fry and some tiny snails. I had three, one of which might be...

Next month, there is a good chance I will be upgrading my Tank from a 29 Gallon to a 46 Gallon bowfront. If this happens, I would like to upgrade my fish stock. Something i've wanted is an Angelfish. However I'm worried about compatability issues. Currently my Fish Stocking is 2 Blue Rams, 1...

I'm planning on upgrading my 29 Gallon to a 46 Gallon Bowfront. I'm going to just reuse my Lights from my 29 Gallon, and I found on Craigslist an offer for a 46 Gallon Tank. Just the tank alone and a filtration system (unspecified yet) is 120$. Does anybody think this is a good deal or should I...

I've been noticing something strange with my Platys and Swordtails the past 3 or so days. I have 3 Female Platys, a female Swordtail-platy hybrid of some sort, a male swordtail, and a male platy. In addition to Rams/Gourami/Rasboras/Pleco. I had just done treating General Cure in the tank...

I'm having these holes and brown spots appear on older leaves of my amazon Sword. The newer leaves are perfectly fine, but the old ones are getting like this.

So i'm sitting there, looking at my female Red Wag platy, and it seems to be doing some sort of dance or display towards a few of my tank mates. It seems to rotate its body 90 Degrees, to show another fish its belly (usually my Swordtail, or my Rams and Gourami, rarely another platy). It then...

Can anybody suggest me good Medicated Foods for my fish? Its entirely possible I might have internal bacteria/parasites, and i've heard one of the best remedies is medicated food. Any suggestions for good products would be very appreciated.

I've been having an issue with one of my platys. Over the past several months, its been having an issue with white patches on its body. I've been googling around, and still cant find the issue. This is Definitely not an Ick infestation, I've fought ick twice in my tank (this platy survived both...

Several of my plants for a long time, have been suffering from iron deficiency, most have gotten along by without it, but I'd like to get the most out of my tanks. When i first set up my tank, I never bothered to mineralize my soil, but now I see why I should of. Would it be safe to add Red...
