I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with some tetras, a small algae eater, and a julii catfish. I had gotten a plant from a friend's tank a few months ago, which I believe to be some type of Ludwigia? I started to use Flourish Excel in my tank and within a day, all of my plants were "melting" -...

This has been growing in my tank for a while now, but I'm not sure what it is? It doesn't wipe off - I have even tried using a toothbrush to scrape it off, but that doesn't work either.. it's almost like whatever it is, it is gripping onto everything. It is definitely multiplying and is now...

I have a 10gal tank and it has been established for quite some time now. I added an anubias plant (attached to a piece of driftwood) and a java fern (attached to a rock) last week. When I bought the plants, they were nice and green and very healthy looking. However, over the past week the leaves...

I have a 10gal tank and recently I have had a lot of brown algae growing on the fake plants and decorations in my tank. It started spreading and is now starting to grow on the sides of my tank and on the gravel. I decided to get an otocinclus to help out with the problem, but I feel like it...

I have a tank with 4 white fin rosy tetra, 2 forktail blue eye rainbowfish, and 2 julii catfish. One of my tetras has been acting strange and I was wondering if it was a possibility that it could maybe be pregnant or if maybe it is just sick? I'm not sure of the sex of any of the fish.. When I...

I was wondering what the typical behavior of a julii catfish is? I got two of them a few weeks ago and for the most part, they swim around a lot and occasionally lay on the bottom of the tank (I assume they are just resting). Well, the last 2 days, one of them has been sitting on the bottom...

I followed the popular instructions from this website of how to fishless cycle a new tank. My tank went through it's process and the levels were all where they needed to be. I went out and bought my first small school of fish (4 white-finned rosy tetra) and 2 julii corys and let them live in the...

Background Info: I have a 2.5 gallon Aqueon Mini Bow desktop aquarium. The hood houses a 15 watt bulb (I have a 10 watt Aqueon Colormax Mini Compact Fluorescent bulb). The bulb is halfway covered by a clear piece of plastic (I guess to prevent water splashing into the socket that the bulb...

I have a betta fish and his diet consists only of betta pellets and freeze-dried bloodworms. I was wondering what else I could feed him to give him more of a variety. I get tired of feeding him the same stuff every day, so I'm sure he gets tired of eating the same stuff every day too! ;) Are...

Hello! I just joined AA today and I have been an aquarium owner for about 6 months now. I actually had terrible luck last night and lost all my fish :( I posted a question about it in the Freshwater: Unhealthy Fish Forum... if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it!

I have had a 10 gallon tank for about 6 months now. I had 4 fancy goldfish in it (I know it was overstocked, but the fish were doing very well), 2 moss balls, a moneywort plant, and some decorations. Yesterday morning I woke up and all four of my fish had white spots on the edges of their fins...
