Greetings fish friends. Will post pics in a sec. Not used to mobile site. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It has become obvious that will need to re-home a fish or two from my 125 gal. I am definitely rehoming one of the two albinos. Should I consider any others? I wouldn't mind replacing a fish with another so suggestions of that sort would be appreciated as well. For example rehoming the Geo for a...

I added a new albino tiger Oscar to the 125 today and the other existing albino is really bullying the new one. The new one will not defend himself even though he is bigger. He just lays there and let's the other albino bump him. He is also getting some scales yanked off. It's been about an...

My blood red parrot for the last few days has had black markings all over his body from rubbing himself on the bottom of the tank and rocks. He does not normally do this to the extent that he ends up looking like he has been swimming in ash but I was wondering if this behavior means something...

I have SA tank with: albino tiger, JD (small), parrot, chocolate, geo, gold Severum, and a fire head. I have had two plecos that did not fair well. The second one was quite large, but I think the stress got to them. Any ideas on an algae eater for this set up?It's really blooming now. Thanks

I posted about a week or so ago about my Oscar who I thought was a burglar; he jumped out of the tank and flopped around causing me to wake up, throw him back in, and he continued his happy fish life. Well, I found him dead this morning. This time he jumped out of the front of the tank...

So I have a 125 gal New World Tank. I currently house Two Oscars among other cichlids (parrot, JD, Pleco, chocolate, gold severum, Geo). I know it's over stocked, So anyway it's in the middle of the night and I hear a noise that sounded like someone fell down our stairs. We have two children so...

Hola fish fam, I have had my 125 up and running for about 7 months, and before that I had a 55. I have had all of my SA cichlids since they were juviniles. 2 tiger oscars (1albino) Geo gold severum JD (runt) chocolate pleco blood red parrot For some reason the other fish are suddenly nipping...

Hello fish friends. I was hoping I could get some help naming this fish. It's a New world or South American but that's all I can gather. your thoughts? Much appreciated.

I have been lectured and scolded regarding keeping live plants in my SA tank. I love my amazon Swords, and am not ready to give them up without a fight. My cichlids which are only about 4 in long have been quite tame with the plants thus far, but I know naughtiness is a real possibility. I would...

Just brought home an albino oscar from the LFS. He was really peppy at the store and even when i was acclimating him to my 125. After about 15 min acclimating to the 125 I decided not to put him in because I was nervous that his smaller size would be an issue. Instead I put him in a ten gal...

Hello there, I recently just stocked my 125 with NWC's with a pictus and a pleco. Tank has been running for about two weeks with no casualties. Today I noticed my pleco was dead. He was a tad smaller then the rest of the cichlids. He was about 2 in while the rest of the gang measure about 3 in...

I am upgrading to a 125 and have been debating on filtration. I have suddenly acquired 2 filters, which now makes 3 canister filters. Question: What combination of filters do you recommend I run on my new 125? Filters: Eheim 2215 Fluval 405 Rena XP3 I plan on housing South American Cichlids...

set up: 55 gal planted community, 45 community fish.water parameters are normal. I have had a recent snail outbreak, and my 2 clown loaches don't seem to be enough to cut them back. I have recently (today)cut my feeding back to every other day instead of daily. I dose with seachem's flourish...

ok, I found out about 5 days ago one of my two blue rams has ICH. my emerald catfish is not looking good at all either (separate tanks). He lays on his back motionless; I thought the poor little guy was dead he was so still, and when I went to "collect" the body, he moved suddenly. He then...

I have a question about I have a 55 gal, planted community, running CO2 injection. I use 2 54watt T5HO bulbs. I run the lights and the CO2 on a digital timer. Hello there, The LFS guys say I should run my lights and CO2 continuously for at least 10 hrs without interruption, however in Peter...

Just the other day I noticed my heater was no longer working; water leaked into the inside. Anyway, I think the heater has been broken for a while, (3 weeks or so), and as a result my fish have been swimming around in water temperature around 70 degrees. I have a new heater arriving in the mail...

I have a 16 gal Bow front tank, and noticed that the stock 50 watt heater it came with no longer works. The brand is "Glass Aquarium". anyway, it looks like water somehow got on the inside. Now I'm shopping for a new heater, obviously submersible. suggestions? Thanks!

I have an Eheim 2215 canister filter. I love it, and it works like a swiss time piece. Question: How often do you clean your Eheim? The last time I did was October 29th of this year. As I understand Eheims can be changed every 90 days or so. Right now I have a 55 gal, planted community over...

So I thought it would be cool to add some floating plants to my 55 gal. community, so I nabbed some duckweed from the LFS. This stuff grows and spreads like something from the Sci-Fi channel! Anyway, what how has duckweed affected your tanks, meaning your other plant's growth? It seems to want...

I have an aqueon filter for my 16 gal. I'm looking for some ideas on how I can save money so I do not have to continuously buy the filter cartridges. (At least not have to buy them as often). I use about one a month and would like to stretch out the use. Thanks!

Right now I have an Eheim 2213 cannister filter and an aqueon 30. I'm open for ideas on how to get the most out of my filters. I do have large extra sections of the media pads that I could cut and use to add more straining power. I also have filter media bags..... ideas are always appreciated...

I ordered some Purigen to help clear up my tank; I borrowed some from my neighbor and wow what a difference in water clarity. Anyways, I have some on the way, and ordered some nylon media bags as well. They had 70, 50, and 110 bags in packs of two. I made the mistake of ordering Seachems "the...

I bought two clown loaches this las Saturday. They have spent three days in my 55 gallon planted community tank. This morning I woke up, and they are both sitting on the top of the tank heater and not very active. I moved one to my smaller 16 gallon tank to see if he livens up, and left the...
