I started cleaning my tank today, and was looking for where the GSP was hiding, and he was laying on the gravel lifeless. I could only see something hanging out his gill. (I don't know if puffers have gills) but I wonder if he choked? I got in about 2 mo. ago very small, he was about .5" when he...

So my main concern was about 3 days ago my puffer started refusing food. he's about as active as normal, but won't eat. The 29 Gallon tank gets a 25-35% PWC weekly, I maintain a SG of 1.012. Temp is about 78*F. Ammonia is at .25ppm Nirites are 0ppm nitrates are 10-20 (hard for me to read...

My situation is that my fish are getting sick suddenly. The tank is a 55Gal that has been active for about 2-3 yrs. now. It's been moved twice about 1 year ago. And has been flourishing since with 6 Cory Cats, 1 Tiger Barb, 2 CAE, 1 Otto, 2 Cherry Barbs, 1 Bala Shark, 1 SAE, 1 Lemon Tetra... I...

I don't know how long test strips are supposed to last, (I test about once a week, sometimes 2 weeks if things have been going smoothly... But anyways, I have Mardel Test strips, and they have been givig a most unaccurate pH reading lately, and if i look really close to the pad, it looks like...

This has been going on for sometime now, and I've posted here once before, about it, and tried to get rid of it with some of your help, but it has remained cloudy. When I say quite sometime, I think it's on 5-6 Months now. And I think it started after I got my 40watt Light Hood. I don't think...

The tank keeps growing this green bacterial slime stuff. I found it on a website before that said it was actually bacteria. I was wondering if anyone here has had this before, and if they successfully removed it? Thanks!! (there is some brown algae in there too. any BW algae removal suggestions?)

Just wondering if anyone can help me care for my beloved puffer... He has a spot on his head that almost looks like a flesh wound, but looks like it is in his mouth as well, looks liek a white fungus. I've been treating him with anti-bacterial stuff which hasn't helped that. he also is stuck...

It seems my Fig. 8 is sinking to the bottom very fast. he trys to swim up, but his body rapidly sinks to the ground. could I be having a Salt issue? I converted him to BW about 3 months ago, and I don't have a low enough Hydrometer yet, but the SG couldn't be more than 1.08. he also has a white...

When I changed my lighting from some makeshift plant lights from wal*mart to a real 55gal over head light, My water started gettign cloudy. When I drained soem of the water in a white bucket it was easy to see it was green. After a few days of not running the lgiht, the water quickly cleared up...

I just need something that can tollerate BW, and clean up some brown algae. Thanks!!

My tank has been cloudy for a few weeks now. when it first showed up, i did a water change. a few days later, this didn't help, so i changed the filters. this still did not help, maybe a week after that, i cleaned the tank again. at first i thought it was a switch of food i had, but it doesn't...

I read some stuff al ready, about what kind of salt to get, and how to measure the Spcific Gravity. What I wanted to know, is how much salt do you put in? It's a 10 gallon tank, being setup for a Figure Eight Dwarf Puffer. Also, is everything else ran the same as the FW tanks? As far as...

My old 10 gallon, which I'm currently trying to set up as BW for my puffer, doesnt have a biological sponge filter thingy. I never even knew what one was until I got my new filter pump, and now know the old filter didnt have one. So basicly I wanted to know what I could use to make on, as it...

http://www.wheresgeorge.net/getimage.php?key=5db34011a0078c044ded351ceb7ac74e&id=6&ext=jpg Is this a Flying Fox or a Siamese Algae Eater? It fits the description of SAE exactly, but it has that light band, but does not have the other discriptive features of a Flying Fox.... Also, I'm not sure...

I have had my 55 running for about 5 months now... It's great! I just recently bought a new 40 watt light for it, becasue i previously had a very oakie rigged thing going on. Anyways, As you can see in the list in my signature, it's quite empty, esspecially since my corydoras hide a lot, and...

Anyone have any idea what this is, It's like a grey furry algae that is begining to attach toe verything, also how to remove it. I dont want to kill my plants, and I have algae eaters, but they must not eat this kind... I dont want it to ruin my new decoration.... I also have 5 plants, and dont...

I was unsuccessful at taking a photo of him, but the pet store sold it as a "Horse Face" she said it was related to the cichlids, but I can't find any information about him. I'll try to get a picture, but if anyone knows it would be great help. thank you!

a few weeks ago, i posted about some eggs, someone said it could have been my cordoras, but i never saw the fry... until 45 seconds ago!!! it was hanging out of my columbian tetra's mouth, i chased him, and netted the baby... 1 cm long... but no other sign of any more... but the smaller...

I'm sure a lot of you have seen these before, if not, they are cool, and most places sell them cheap because they are!! they are cheap and junky, but very entertaining!! now that i got my 55 gallon im having a lot of fun. http://www.angelfire.com/film/thetmaxx/RCSubSmall.mov ok, everything on...

Now that the 55 is running smooth, i have a 10 gallon not doing anything. is there any other conceivable use for it other than a qt tank? if I sell it, its only worth like $20 i think...? New Light hood, air pump, gravel, a few dcorations, hob filter with 3 replacement cartridges, clean glass...

I just saw this just now, snaped a photo, and dont know what it could be. I'm looking, and it looks like eggs of somehting. 4 sites of these on the glass, cant see anthing else well. the 55 gallon is new, been running for almost 3 weeks, and had fish in for a week.5 at this time i am unable to...

I searched for this term, and couldn't find anything. I was wondering how do I get rid of it? What kind of fish would eat it... my otto and cory's dont touch it. I tried cleaning it, but comes back quickly. thanks!
