A couple weeks ago I had lost a tiger barb from I believe swim bladder (or whatever it’s called). Although everyone insisted that I may have a disease in my tank. A month later no more losses so obviously it was not a disease (unless the fish it self just had one). I believe it had died from...

I have tried feeding my plecos zucinni and cucumber, blanched and raw... nothing they havent eaten any of it. they are small and/or young (1.5-2 inches) maybe thats why? (clown and bristlenose)

I use two different forums questions, and I get mixed answers on this one. When to change my filter cartridge on my hob. One says to wait till its falling apart the other says monthly, so which is it? My filter has two cartridges (for a 55 gal) I know when I do change it; change them one at a...

I already have them, 1 clown pleco and 1 bristlenose. I was just checking that these two would be ok. I have a 55 gallon with plants, two types of wood, and a couple places to hide. We got the clown because my girlfriend liked him, he doesnt seem to come out too much, kinda boring. The...

I have put cucumber in for my pleco, I don't think it ate it, the whole piece is always still in tact. I am going try zucchini. What is the best way to give, just raw? Also what I am curious about is what the best way to preserve the rest of the vegetable is?

I was just wondering the best thing to feed the two fish are. I currently use algae wafers, flakes, frozen blood worms, and just got bottom feeder shrimp pellets and veggies. i have a 55 gallon. I just want to make sure these guys are getting their fair share of food. my rainbow shark seems to...

I went to a local pet store (pets choice) and bought 2 angels from a tank they were observing, but he told me that the plecos were being observed because they were dying, not the angel fish. They both died with in three days so i took them back. I went to a different store (pet supplies plus)...

i have a AquaTech 30-60 Power Filter. it uses i blue filter cartridge and a bio filter. How do i service this? How often do i have to change the cartridge, do i ever have to change bio-filter? (i believe in directions it says you do not) If not should i clean the bio-filter.

i have a filter that hangs on the back, intake in water, and has two sides of filter media and coal or whatever it is (55 gallon). It is the first time i cleaned it i stuck it in a bucket of aquarium water to rinse off, the mistake i probably made was use a tooth brush to lightly scrape off...

I was just wondering, when i do feed bloodworms to my fish (only twice a week). is that the only thing they should recieve that day? Or is it ok for flakes for one meal and worms the other, in same day? I think I read somewhere bloodworms should be the only thing for that day. Thanks:D...

55 gallon. 6 guppies 5 danios 6 tiger barbs 2 angel fish 1 rainbow shark 1 clown pleco I was just wondering how often to feed frozen bloodworms to my tank? Once a week? The reason i ask is because i do not see my rainbow shark eat very often, which from what i read, seems normal. I know they...
