I have a younger oscar and he seems like he is starving 24/7! I used to feed the tank once a day but now with the oscar its as if they want food around the clock. They are on a diet of live crickets blood worms and chichlid pellets

I have a 50 gallon tank. It is well cycled. It's been up and running for over a year. Yesterday out of no where my blood parrot started acting funny ( pointing nose at bottom of tank, resting at top of tank) which is out of her character. I did a simple water change (like always) about two weeks...

I have a 40 gallon. It's not over populated I have 1 bp, 2 gouramis, 3 tiger barbs, and an oto. it smells like algae. It's horrible! I do very frequent water changes but it always smells. Am I putting too many algae wafers?

I had 8 tiger barbs. My tank got ich I treated it and I lost 4 of the barbs in the process. Ever since then every morning when I turn the tank lights on and feed them I find one dead barb with its eyes pecked out and its body hollowed..sorry if tmi. I have just one barb left and no one is...

I dont know what's going on but after researching online all their symptoms match ich or shimmy. They look horrible, clamped fins, not eating, and their doing the "swimming in place" thing. I don't know what to do. I've tried everything. Raising temps, frequant water changes. I had 8 I'm down...

I'm treating my tank for ich right now. It stated with my tiger barbs I put them in a qt tank but I can tell that my other fish are stating to get it. I've raised the temp to 82 (slowly of course) I couldn't use salt because of a dwarf frog. Has anyone used quick cure? I read up on it and looked...

I have a tank that I'm almost positive had ich and I've just started to slowly raise temp. Is the dwarf frog ok? Or do I need to try and move him out?

I have 1 blood parrot, 2 gouramis, and 5 tiger barbs ( barbs in qt tank) the barbs look slot worse than all the other fish. There are maybe one or two little white specks on the blood parrot and shes flashing constantly. I've been doing 50 % water changes daily because my nitrites were high at...

My son wanted an algae eater so I went to the lps and purchased the one they advised me to get because he only gets 2 inches we purchased the algae wafers and brought him home. I put him in a 30 gallon with my other fish and after doing a little research on this certain algae eater I'm afraid...

They are dropping like flies and look horrible they all were fine 2 days ago. Their fins look weird and they appear to be shaking then they will float around for a min I'll think their dead then they'll start swimming. I've lost 3 in 3 days. They pics do nothing for it but ANY input would...

I set up my tank the 15th of december. Everything was doing good until I hit the nitrite spike with continuous pwc around 50% once or twice daily I've manage to not loose any fish until the past couple of days. The tiger barbs were the least effected by everything in the beginning now it seems...

I've read its a territory thing. Which brings new to my next question. I was told to put her with semi aggressive fish and I feel like that was the wrong choice. I have a pair of gouramis and 7 tiger barbs. She seems very threatened by the gouramis. I called the pet store and they simply refuse...

Which is horrible but better than 10 plus. Everything else seems ok. Doing another major water change tonight. Is that too soon in between since it will only about 12 hours between the changes?

Ok I set up a tank and started cycling on the 12th of december. I stated with tiger barbs they thrived then I got my bp everything was going well and now the nitrites have soared. The lps told me not to touch the water top let it "do its own thing" as stated by employee. The ammonia is .25...

I took my water to the lps to have water checked "professionally" (I'm still new at everything) my nitrites and nitrates were off the charts. I had been doing pwc never more than 30% about every 3 days as instructed by someone. They told me not to touch the water to let it balance naturally...

I've had my new fish tank for a little over a month its been cycled. I never asked how to change out filter. When do I do it? Is there a certain way to do it? It doesn't look too bad just a little darker. Does it show what size I'll need on the filter anywhere

I'm not doing it. I'm just wondering if anyone had with any succsess? I have tiger barbs, gouramis, and a blood parrot. I want to add something else to finish the tank off. Any suggestions?

I have one gold and one pearl gourami. They are both female and seem to be getting on each others nerves. Is it better to get a male to even them out or just leave it alone?

I know I should have done a little more research but I was hoping the local pet smart would halfway know what they were talking about...i wanted a SMALL or the smallest type of alge eater for my 40 gallon tank. she acted irritated that she had to help me in the first place the next thing I know...
