A while back I make a topic about my German blue ram being colorless and having his fins held tight to his body. It's been 6 months now and nothing has changed! He swims around all day eats fine etc. I decided to get a spray bar to help with the flow, thinking it was to fast and was stressing...

I currently have a German Blue Ram in my 40 gallon breeder. I have had him for a few weeks now. When I first got him he was very colorful, but now he is very pale and washed out. He also seems to hold his top fin close to his body at all times. He is just now comfortable enough with me to come...

Hello everyone So I'm about ready to get a new light system for my planted 40g breeder. Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now I have a Shop light fixture suspended above my tank. 2x39w 6,500k. I really want a fixture with night lights but its not a must. Any suggestions? Right now I'm...

I was hoping someone could help me figure out this mystery. My oldest angelfish has a strange white "film" on his fin. I'm not alarmed by it because his behavior has not changed in the slightest and its been over a week now. He eats plenty, greats me at the door when I come home, and swims...

Can anyone give me a good idea of what I should get? like how...

I'm almost to the point of pulling out all the live plants and throwing them in the trash... So I started with a "normal" tank. I'm using play sand and had some drift wood. I decided I wanted a planted tank. I had plants in the past, never had problems, so i figured why not. So I went out and...

So my tank has been up and running for quite a while now. A few weeks back I noticed what looked like normal algae growing on my sand substrate. I removed it, and wouldn't you know it came back a little worse. I then removed all my plants and drift wood and completely vacuumed the sand removing...
