We have a largish (3 1/2" - 4") Veiltail goldfish. Noticed a couple pimple like white spots in her tail fins yesterday. Noticed a couple more today. They are like I said pimple like not fuzzy at all just little round white spots. They look to me like they are inside the tail flesh, not like a...

Got a couple Dalmatian Mollies a few weeks back for the main tank. Female was pregnant when we got them. Couple days ago it was obvious she was about to pop so I moved her to our 10 gallon that has Cardinal tetras in it. This afternoon she started acting anxious and I was keeping an eye on...

Man I bought a bottle of Purigen today and put it in a mesh bag and rinsed it out. Put it in my Aquaclear 70 and of course the mesh was too coarse to hold it and it pumped those little beads all over! I grabbed the bag back out and double bagged it in some panty hose so no more is coming out...

So I was at a lfs last night and they had some dwarf baby tears in little pots for 7 bucks. I had to try some. I left them in the pot and stuck them in the 55 last night. Today I cleaned out a 10 gallon and put some pool filter sand in and broke up 4 or 5 API root tabs and spread them out under...

I just got my tank up and running a few weeks ago after a 5 week fishless cycle. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/my-cycle-log-163739.html Went OK just one minor ph crash near the end. This 55 gallon tank is now the home of 3 fantail goldfish and 5 small cories all of which seem...

So I'm setting up a 55 and it's still cycling. I only had the regular generic T12 bulbs that come with the hood. Yesterday was at Petsmart and picked this light up: LED Aquarium Light and plan to get another one next payday. It's suppose to be 310 lumens @ 6000k. It sits right on the glass...

I'm setting up a 55. The only lights I have are the 15w fluorescents that come with the basic setup. I have a wooden canopy to work with. I was in home depot today looking for ideas. Our HD is next door to a petsmart. At the petsmart I can get a 28 watt 48" t5 fixture with a bulb for 70...

OK impulse buy this afternoon. I was at Petsmart and picked up 6 ghost shrimp. The guy there in the fish department is cool, I didn't pay any attention when he was getting them out, I was looking at the fish. So when he hands me the bag and says "there's some girls in there with eggs" I looked...

So I got my 40 long full of mostly Prime treated tap water, and a couple inches of white gravel (the sand didn't work out). Running a new Aquaclear 70. I have a 10 gallon almost through with a fishless cycle so I took the bio bag for the 70 and hung it in that tank for a couple days and took a...

So I'm starting up a 50 long. I want to do the PFS for the bottom. So do I put the sand in first, or fill it with water first, or does it matter?

Woohoo. New here, Here's mostly the story: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f59/wassuuup-161753.html So I have a 48" long 50 gallon tank to set up for FW. Most likely some fantail goldfish. Found a setup on craigslist for $40, redoing the silicone now. It came with a Visa Therm 150 watt...

Hey something smells fishy in here........ j/k, nice place. Found this forum looking for cycling info for a goldfish tank. I've been keeping a betta or three for a while and even successfully bred and raised a batch of fry a couple years ago. The kids recently decided they want some fancy...

Hello! Newbie here. I've been keeping a betta or three and even successfully bred and raised a group of fry of them a couple years ago. I recently decided to get some fancy goldfish for the kids so I'm doing a fishless cycle in a 10 gallon right now. I know that's not big enough for several...
