These aren't the best, sorry. S/he's kind of hanging out at the back of the tank near the heater. This started as a couple of white dots yesterday, now all the dots are gone, and so are her fins.

I did a completely stupid thing and let a friend borrow some of my fish equipment (net, water changing hose, etc). I thought I cleaned it well but apparently I did not because one of my juvenile angels has what appears to be fin rot and some kind of white fungus. I have two dojo loaches in this...

Apparently it's actually acrylic, does that make a difference? I can't exchange it, and it's a bit of a drive to return it, so if it CAN be safely fixed I'd like to.

I bought a 5 gallon, still new in the box never been opened for really cheap, but got it home and realized there's a small crack in the bottom of the tank. It's probably about 3 inches long, it doesn't go through to the other side. Can I use aquarium silicone to shut it and keep it from busting...

What should I do? They have all the other fish huddled into a corner of the aquarium. There's another juvie angel (the smallest), 2 platies, and only 2 neons left. They don't seem bothered by the 2 dojo loaches, they're leaving them be thankfully. I could move the other fish into the 20H for...

I just looked in and realized they haven't just paired off, but actually laid eggs on my sword plant! I really thought they were too young for all this still. Will it distress them to take them from their eggs? Should I just let this run it's course and then move them? That plant is very well...

Ok, that's what I will do then. Thanks a bunch :)

Angels have finally paired off, and at the worst possible timing. Apparently they will NOT be the angels to coexist with other fish. Now I need to figure out what to do with them. I thought with all the plants in that tank they wouldn't be able to terrorize anyone, but I was definitely wrong lol...

I had surgery a week ago, so my tanks have been in the hands of my dad. I expected a little fall out, but I did huge water changes and cleaned everything the day before I went in and made sure everything was ready for when I wasn't here. However, 3 of my until recently very healthy neons have...

So I thought I had gotten rid of all my snails, and then POOF, 500-million of them resurfaced. I scooped out all of the ones that I could get, but some are too small and fall through the net, and then disappear in the sand before I can get them. So I moved one of my dojo-loaches into the tank to...

Thank y'all a bunch :) I will get to work on making these changes.

Thank you, I was already thinking about thinning out my stock and only keeping my favorite fish so now that you said that I'll definitely start looking at rehoming some fish. Would reducing the amount of time my lights are on help too? My photo period is a little crazy because I'm up and down at...

I do have live plants, so hopefully those will help. Should I stop dosing ferts right before my surgery? or does that matter at all? Hopefully I can instruct my minions on how to care for the tanks :P

Thank y'all, I'll look into the python. Hopefully I can get my mom to help me with it. I don't mind the extra water conditioner, that's definitely not a problem.

Hi everyone, I have two tanks right now, a 36 and a 20 high. I do weekly water changes and it seems like the maintenance is pretty much never ending. I don't mind normally, but I just found out I'm going to be having brain surgery and won't have the energy to tend to the tanks properly. I don't...

How is the frogbit doing?

Hopefully it perks back up for you :) Mine took a couple of days, but it multiplies like crazy now.

I had the same problem when I got my duckweed and dwarf water lettuce. I put it all in a breeder trap for a little bit and it perked back up. I think just the heat and rough handling from shipping separated the heads from the roots, but they come back in quickly. I would put them in something...

Awesome! Congrats!!

Mogurako is right. Fish that are egg layers cannot get pregnant, they get gravid. Only livebearers get pregnant. To the OP, definitely try the blanched, deshelled pea.

I'm having the same problem except I'm using google chrome.

I haven't tried leaving it out and testing it, I just pulled water from the tap and tested it straight away. I'll pull some water and set it out now and let y'all know what the readings are tomorrow.

How big are these guys? They look way too big to be DPs, they look more like green spotted puffers. From a whole tank shot you wouldn't even be able to see a DP as they max out at about an inch.

So should I just not worry about the PH then unless I see distress in my fish? Do I just leave the cuttle bone in the tank permanently? Or leave it in for a while, take it out, put it back in, etc? Will try them on the vegetable in the morning when I get home and see how they like it.

No, I haven't, I didn't realize that would help their shells. They were fine until the PH started dropping, so I didn't think about that.
