I've had this guy since he was the size of a quarter now he's about 10-12 inches in diameter. Going on 4 years old now. He's developed something on the top of his head that I have no clue on what it is. Kind of almost looks like a fungus, but with 4 white dots similiar to ich. He eats well...

Ever heard of this? Whats also strange is that everone is aggressive all of a sudden too. I've had everyone in my tank for almost 2 years without any problems, then wham. I haven't added any fish either. My water parameters are all normal. I do all my water changes on time.

I've had an Eheim 2215 for a year now on my 75gal. Everytime I clean it out (tonight is the 3rd time) I have a problem getting it going again. It starts up, but has a problem spraying out thru the spraybar. I did a whole cleaning, tubes and all. I even took it apart and rinsed out all the...

How do I take care of these. Here's what I read: "The eggs will hatch in about 48 hours, then the young will be moved to a shallow pit in the substrate. After four or five days they are free swimming and herded together in a group and looked after by the male. Each brood can contain as many as...

My mother came by my home last night seen my set-up and said WOW. My parents were fish addicts years and years ago from FW to SW. Her last set-up was 14 years ago and got rid of it because she was moving. (I was in high-school then). She then started to criticise the amount of fish I had in...

I purchased my set-up mid-October. I noticed that each time I do a PWC, and plug back in my Eheim, the flow seems to slow down more and more. Now today, I do another PWC and the flow almost completely stopped. :x I figured the hoses were clogged. I unclogged them, plugged it back in, and...

HMMM...luck must have it. I just got home from purchasing and Albino Bristlenow. I'm floating the bag and my son yells out..."MOM!!! you have babies in the bag!" Sure enough, there they were. 3-4 of them. Very tiny kinda like brine shrimp size. I didn't even see them in the tank at the...

I happened to be in my LFS and noticed a Zebro Pleco. I seen photos of this one with white stripes. The one in my LFS had tan stripes. They wanted $99 for this little guy who's about 2" long. I'm debating weither or not to get him. I think the Zebro Plecos are cool looking. The LFS said...

I had a link in my favorites folder and lost it when my computer crashed. Wheb I reinstalled windows, I lost it. Anyway, this website, you were able to add what fish were in your tank and it would tell you if some were compatible or not. It was a chart and you had to fill in the blanks...

OK, now it's time to deal with algae and a huge outbreak over the last 3 days. I have a brownish/black algae growing on my silk plants and a resin like cave rock. Nothing growing on the glass which is good. I knew I needed to buy a pleco but just never got around to it not to mention also...

Female Blue Ram? I have 4 Blue Rams in my tank. I noticed the dorsal fins on 2 of them are different. Kinda funny thou, because I read that males are more colorful with a pointed fin. I have 2 colorful Rams and 2 non-colorful rams. 1 of the non-colorful Rams has a pointed fin which is the...

OK, my fish came down with fin rot. Mainly my fault because I only let my 75 gal tank cycle for a week. I'm treating using Jungle Fungus and just started last night upon figuring it was fin rot and not others nipping. (I sat in front of the tank for hours watching to see if any other fish...

:? Is it something that is automatic when you place water in the tank with Water Conditioners, these non-working bacteria starters like Proquatics Bacteria Starter, and ammonia? :? How can you feed (Ammonia) something that doesn't exist (bacteria) in a new tank when you don't have an...

OK, first off, I was an idiot and not let my tank "fishless" cycle. :oops: I found this board after the fact and, haven't lost a fish until just today. The tank is now roughly 5 weeks old. I've been testing my water and got a hugh Ammonia spike 9 days ago. (4.0) All fish survived the...

OK, per my previous post under unhealty fish http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=35633 I'm currently treating my tank with Maracyn Two. I got home late last night and the tank is cloudy. Today will be day 3 of the 5 day treatment. I tested the water and the Ammonia, NO2 and NO3...

I'm new at this. I would like to do a water change. All I know is I would have to take out some tank water and replace with new water. How do I do this if the new water has to come directly from the tap? I have a 75 gal with 2 Angels, 2 Blue Rams, 2 Rainbowfish and 6 Dwarf Gouramis...

I'm a newbie on here and have to say, this site has alot of info, however, I still haven't quite found all my answers. I bought and set up a 75 gal FW tank a week ago and it's been running now for only a few days with an Eheim 2215/2217 filter. It's planted (silk plants) with a 10 inch rock...
