I started a new regiment of EI dosing using some if my new ferts this weekend. Not really EI, my version of it based on a what I believe to be a high iron requirement of my plant selection. One of the by products of resetting the tank was that my Bacopa turned red. I don't know how I did it...

Planted tank at three months old. The fore ground still needs to grow in and some plant adjustment as things grow in. I'm trying to keep the tank simple. No CO2 yet, but I'm thinking about it. My angelfish were eating my plants and had to go. 55watt X 3 Compact fluorescent, Flourish Excel and...

Is it possible to have a male only tank? I've kept angels before and always end up having a problem when they start pairing up. I recently started keeping Peacock cichlids and have an all male tank. Can the same thing be done with angelfish or will the males develop territories? I don’t think...

I received some gold rams about a month or two ago. Since I’ve had them they have been breathing hard. I didn’t think much of it at first so I did nothing. The problem is that the disease started to spread to my other fish. I first assumed it was a bactericidal infection and treated with...

I just got some new rams about .75 inches long. My problem is that they are breathing kind of fast, almost laboured like they have no O2. They tank is good, all parameters are OK. I'm just not sure if this is normal or if it is a gill parasite or infection. I treated the tank with an anti...

I found some unwanted visitors in my planted tank. They look like tiny earthworms, about 1.5 inches long and about .070 inched in diameter (2mm). I just noticed them today. They reach out of the gravel and search for food. There must have been about 5 poking out this morning. The problem...

My two gold marble angelfish have bread for the first time. Amazingly they did very well and are good parents, fanning the eggs when ever they can. Another amazing thing is that they are in a 60 gallon tank with 20 pristella tetras and 9 plecos and no one has attacked the eggs. So far I am...

I’ve got some sail fin mollies that seem to be very thin. The problem has seamed to start with a clown loach and is spreading slowly through mostly the female mollies, especially ones that have just given birth. They seem to have a sunken belly and look really thin, some have red gills. The...

I found a new inhabitant in my 60-gallon community tank. It was a small mollie fry about a half-inch long. I think it was from one of my gold dust mollies that I raised in that tank. This is the second fry I found swimming in this tank. About a week ago I rescued three sailfin molly fry...

Just got a new Xingu Royal Pleco. This is one great looking fish.

I was adjusting my aquarium heater to bring my show tank temp up to 88 deg. F. to battle some ICH. Unfortunately I did something to my canister filter heater, which caused it to lock in the on position, and heated the tank to 98 deg. F. Luckily I didn’t loose any of my plecos but my neons...
