Do/can fish fart? Seriously

I got up this morning to find my 6 inch black plecostomus lying motionless on the floor about 6 or 7 feet away from my aquarium. I heard a little noise last night and i assume it was him flopping around my floor. The little guy was all dry, shriveled, dark black and presumably dead. I picked...

I'm about to turn my 55 gallon tank into a corydora paradise / breeder. I've been keeping these dudes for several years and have never even had them lay eggs! I'm going to put my 2 bronze Corys and 6 false julii in there with probably a few more additions to expand the gene pool a bit...

My alkalinity is pretty low, about 5ppm. Should I try to bring it up a bit? Everyone is healthy. NitrAtes - 5ppm NitrItes - 0ppm PH - 7.0 Any suggestions or recommendations? I've only really ever worried about my nitrates and PH. A search of the forums didn't turn up any useful info, I'm...

Good day fellow aquarium enthusiasts! I'm having some trouble identifying a couple of my plants and would appreciate some help. I've identified some of the easier/more common ones but the others are throwing me for a loop since different species look so similair. Check out my profile, there are...

I've had this aquarium for several years keeping cichlids, plecos, corys, and some eel thing that just recently ate too many feeders and suffocated. I recently moved and adopted out all of my fish to start from scratch. The gravel, filters and such are all "cycled" as I guess you would say. So...
