I have 2 ten gallons and recently lost a Hillstream loach in one of them. Was told they are hard to keep, I found out the hard way. :cry: Anyways, in that tank I also have a baby Albino bushy nose pleco and a baby Gold Nugget pleco. Today I noticed that the usually happy and active bushynose...

I have an established 10gal tank that doesn't have any nitrates anymore....at one point it was a constant 10ppm but today I tested the water and it has 0. Last water change was 10% on Monday. We do them weekly. It's a pretty heavily planted tank. The fish are really healthy and growing very...

Just noticed my male betta has a very swollen/bloated belly.....this is new, he didn't have it before he ate (just fed him frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp) ...could it just be that he's a pig? He's never done this before. Any ideas?

Well, got myself yet another betta tank.....can't seem to help myself..... turned one of my fiancee's 10 gal into a betta/pleco tank yet again, this time with a beautiful blue/pink male betta and an albino bushy nose pleco. Really cool looking pleco, he's just a baby but is already spectacular...

Just noticed today that my clown loach comes to the top of the tank and then makes a "clucking" sound. 8O He does this four or five times and then goes about his business again. Has anyone ever had a clown loach that wants to be a chicken before??

My sailfin pleco has what appears to be "dry skin" (i know that sounds funny) on her side. Just curious if anyone has seen this before. It looks like rough patches that are slightly white in color. She's eating well and seems happy. Is this something to worry about?

I'm seeking some advice re: my fiancee's fish. He recently(today) just lost his sick guppy that we had moved to a QT tank because it was literally looking like it was deteriorating (rotting, I have to say :cry: ) from the outside inwards. A few days ago he was beautiful and by today he was...

Does anyone know of a good site where one can get ideas on different styles of tank set-ups? ie. malawi cichlid, etc.... Thanks! (This is to get ideas for our 90 gal that we originally planned to be a planted tank but now we're not sure!)

OK, so I have this nice new 10gal tank that will have plants in it really soon. I want to put my newest edition(a beautiful red Betta named Sam)in there. From what I have read, bettas like calm water. My 10gal has an aqua-clear mini on it. Will this cause too much water movement for Sam...

I've done some research on compatible tank mates for bettas but I'm a bit confused. :? Most seem to agree that good tank mates include plecos, corycats, and shrimps but they seem divided on others such as tetras, guppies, etc. If anyone can give me their personal experiences that would be...

I believe that my guppy has cotton fungus on its back. I am treating with aquarium salts and "Mela Fix". Today she refuses to eat and it is our second day of treatment. The fungus is getting bigger, does anyone know how long it takes to go away? When should we get really worried about her ...

I just got up and took a look at my guppy...she is the only one in the 10gal now after I removed the smaller one. The smaller one was nipping at her top fin constantly. Well, now my large guppy has a cotton like substance on her back and I have no idea what it is. :( I don't have a digital...

Up until today my two female guppies got along very well. Today, however, the full-grown female is chasing away the smaller female whenever she comes near. They used to be inseparable and I don't understand what's going on..... :?

The PH in my 10gal is currently 7.8-8.0. It's a new tank and I'm wondering how to lower the PH. I know that driftwood helps but its not part of my plan. Can anyone recommend easy ways to help? Thanks!

I really really like Plecos and I plan on starting one in my 10gal with the intention of moving him to a much larger tank in the near future. I will have 2 clown loaches, 5 rummynose and 2 neon tetras. Does anyone know of a good pleco that can get along with these fish and will not totally...

Hello everyone! I am an aquarium novice and I am learning lots from your member "keeper" who is also my fiancee. I've just purchased a 10 gallon tank that I intend to fill partially with plants and also with tetras and a couple of loaches. It's exciting and keeper is going to help me take...
