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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey everyone, I've been having PH issues lately, as the ph in my tap is actually fluctuating. It used to stay around 6.5, which was perfect for my rams, however, lately, it's bottomed out and I can't even measure it it's so low. SO, I got crushed coral to bring it up and hopefully keep it...

So I walk into my living room to find my 20H with my GBR/EBR pair with eggs in it is leaking! There's a huge puddle on the floor, the tank appears to have lost about 4-5 inches of water. This tank was a goodwill find, a little beat up but has held fine until now. Now looking at the water marks...

Bought a couple of plants from my LFS and was curious what one of them is, and to double check on the other two. I'm guessing hairgrass and rotala rotundifolia on the first two, but I'm not sure on the flast pic. Thanks!

I just went to feed everyone before I went to bed, and my EBR/GBR pair has swimmers!!! I thought they had eaten the eggs again, but obviously not. Will take pics in a minute, moving out an angel they're picking on and putting panty hose on the filter. They're so tiny!!

This has happened twice now or I wouldn't post about it...Water specs are as follows - Amm - 0, Nitrite - 0, Nitrate - 10. Tank is a 20 High, tank is kind of in transition right now so it's a little bit overstocked, there's several guppies, three young dojo loaches, 3 GBRS (waiting on a pair)...

I was strolling through the LFS with a friend and they had baby bettas that had just come in, less than an inch all in cups. They were all kinda funny lookin, but there were a couple that looked really different from any bettas I've ever seen, I got one and my friend got the other. I was going...

So I thought she was a girl...then I thought she was a he...Now I'm giving up and just asking. Also, is the EBR too young to sex?

Is it possible for shrimp to ever be in a tank that's previously had iron in it? How do you make it inhabitable for the shrimp? I've got a ten gallon that I ignorantly put root tabs in with iron in them, and now months later I want to have some shrimp. Will breaking the tank down and cleaning...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone might have any pond snails they'd be willing to ship/send. I have two dwarf puffers who refuse to eat anything other than snails and they are going through them like crazy. I can't find more than a few around here and they can't multiply fast enough to keep up...

When I originally got my 36 gallon, I got feeder goldfish to cycle my tank since I didn't know any better. After I got on here and started doing some research, I realized I didn't need the goldfish and I shouldn't have gotten them. All but one were rehomed because this little guy has a defect...

Hey everyone, I found very conflicted information online, so thought I would ask the experts! I have two angelfish that are a little larger than quarters, and my mom has fallen in love with discus. I have a 36 gallon bow front that has the two angels, a school of neons, and a few guppies. Would...

We are going out of town for two weeks and our petsitter will only be coming every other day to tend to our animals. My question is, would it be better to leave the lights on, off or switch them back and forth so they're on for two days and off for two days? My 36 gallon bow front has live...

Ok, so I recently set up a 36 gal bowfront freshwater tank. I'm very happy with it, but I am thinking about turning my 10 gallon tank into a nano-salt water tank. Is it even worth it with a tank this size? I've been googling the last hour and am SO confused on how this all works. I have no clue...

Just put the first dose of pimafix in my tank with fish I think have ick, and as soon as I dosed it there were all the little worms in my tank! What on earth do I do??

I'm moving my fry into a larger tank (the one they were in was kind of an OMG THERE'S FRY IN MY TANK thing). I found this weird jelly sacks with little dots in them, The only thing in this tank are a couple cleaner shrimp (glass), guppy fry, and one lonely little snail that hitched a ride with...

As stated, I have a 3 year old, orange glofish whose small school has passed away in the last 6 months. I didn't really know about schooling when I got them (or cycling, or tank size needed, or anything really) but when I upgraded to my ten gallon and moved them in, I lost the other 2 within a...

This little guy was sold to me as a kribensis (still very young) butI don't really think that is what they are. Any idea what he could be? Thank you!

Ok, so I've had my (beautiful) GBR for a couple days now, and she is digging these huge pits in the sand bed. Is this normal? I mean, I don't really mind her landscaping, but, this isn't a sign that something is wrong or she's uncomfortable is it? She's become my absolute favorite fish and if...

Soo I was prowling my LFS store today and noticed this beautiful German blue ram in with some discus fish. He was the only one and seemed rather shy and overwhelmed by such big fish with him/her. As I was watching the GBR, the owner of the store came up and asked if I was interested in it, I...

Ok, so I am on day 7 of a fish in cycle (please don't hit me, I didn't know fish in was bad!). The tank is a 36 gallon bowfront, goldfish in to cycle, and lots of seeded material in the filter. I have a heater (set at 80) and an aqueon 55 filter. Day one ph - 7.2 ammonia - .25 nitrite - 0...
