Hello all. I'm in the process of setting up a tank. 30 gallons, I have no fish yet but have been slowly adding rock. I bought two pieces of rock last week and immediately noticed one of the rocks had bristleworms and fireworms coming out ever hole in the rock. I was advised to remove the...

One of the angelfish has something going on. I don't think it's ich because the others aren't affected. He des t seem to be ill, swims fine and behavior is the same. One of the others chads and picks at him a lot. It looks like he's peeling. Water change has been done, API water test of...

I've had these white little worm thingies in this tank for a while. I can't seem to get rid of them. I've water changed, which includes gravel vac. It doesn't seem to harm the three angelfish that are in the tank, which have been in there since they were tiny angels. When i do a water...

I've already identified amphipods in my tank as I still see them floating around and on the sand bed, but I see alot of these things. They hang upside down or otherwise are sticking to the live rock in some way. this one was hiding inside a rock that has a hole thru it. hard to get a good pic...

I don't know how to explain what it is, other than it shocked me to see something moving. My live rock I added this week was a bigger score than I thought, it's full of stuff! This "thing" moves slowly, like a slug or something as I don't really see legs, but towards the front of it I do...

I got ahold of some live sand from an established tank and want to add a little bit to my sand. What is the best way to add it without creating pea soup?

So I'm slowly building a rockscape in a 29 gallon I set up last week. Tonite i added a few more pieces that apparently had some life in it. One rock has a few feather dusters on it, but then I also noticed alot of little white things floating around. They reminded me of shrimps but i know...

Has anyone ever got their own live rock from the beach or out in the ocean before? I don't know if this sounds like a crazy thought or not. I was on the beach last week, and plan on going again this weekend. The water was so clear and the beach sand was so white, and the rocks were so pretty...

Have 3 Leporinus in a 75 gallon (mom's tank). They are approximately 5~6 inches in length. I've noticed what I can only explain as ulcers or open wounds on two of them. You can sometimes see the scales floating in the tank until they make it to the filter. I've removed the filter media and...

Hello all, My 55 gallon has been set up for a few years. Currently has my angelfish in it. For about a week, I've noticed that it has been cloudy. No reason for it, just turned cloudy. Nobody seems to be in distress at all. I removed most of the fake plants, did a 20 gallon water change...

This is why it's a good idea to have a ro/di system if you have well water like me. I noticed my carbon chamber was starting to have a brown tint, so I changed my micron filter.....

I've never seen an issue like this before. In my 55 gallon angelfish tank, i have algae on the substrate. it's easy to remove, but is a pain in the butt as it keeps coming back. I just create water movement and it comes up easily and I use the net to just catch it. it's like layers or a...

I just discovered a surprise in my 29 gallon. I got a breeding pair in there, and I have swimming fry already. Didn't have a clue until an hour or so ago when doin a water change. When can I start feeding them? I have baby brine shrimp (frozen kind). The mother is definitely doing her job...

I have a 20H that currently only houses a pleco. today as I went to check on things I noticed what I originally thought might have been poop flowing from the current on the top and to me looked like it was squirming. I took one of my nets and scooped up like 3 of them, and sure enough they...

Yesterday I started breaking down my 75 gallon. I removed all the rock to make it somewhat easier to catch the fish. And just to let you know, that was alot of fun lol I had a lady take most of my fish, she also wanted the wrasse, but then I noticed he was missing. there was no rock or any...

I have a 10 gallon that is temporarily housing my guppies. I estimate there may have been 30~40 of them, ranging from female adults to month-old fry (males are in my planted tank). All has been well until lastnite, the tank was extremely cloudy/hazy. Not sure why, but I did a 50% water change...

I cannot see certain threads. I'm trying to send a private message to a moderator for help but that doesnt work either. I've tried several. Has my account been limited for some reason? If so, why?

Yesterday I noticed very tiny white worm things on the glass of my mom's tetra tank. With my bad eyes I had to really focus on seeing them, and only saw it because I was doing a fish headcount (a tetra died the other day). Then I realized that there's so many in the tank that they are...

I've had my 46 bow setup for a short while and my water wisteria is doing great (growing out of control actually lol), so I added a few more and a few water primrose to see how they do. Id like to add a little bit more. Any recommendations from the more experienced here? as far as the...

I recently got a new ro/do system from BRS and I've been putting it to some serious work. the incoming water is well water that obviously has alot of stuff being filtered out. the inline tds registers 4 on the "out" (from what I read that's normal?), my sediment filter is already quite brown...

my 44 gallon fowlr looks to be infected with ich. i noticed it on my 2 stripe and 3 spot domino really bad. then the two seargent majors, one is really spotted up and the other one is almost dead :( my three stripe and my two yellow tails look to be unaffected so far. I was able to catch the...

I'm not sure how to explain it, I was just checking out mom's 55 gallon and one of the giant danios just went crazy. he hit the top of the water, spun around wildly a couple of times, then just sunk to the bottom!! so I scooped him up in the net and just watched him. he came around on his own...

OMG what do i do?!?!? OMG I was not expecting this, Bubba is very aggressively chasing everyone off. What do i do? Do I need to move somebody, OMG I"m so excited!! I just fed them like 20 minutes ago, I was about to turn off the lights and got the shock of my life, taking pics now!!!

didnt see a thread on clownfish, and I know you have them :cool: mine is calm enough but he hides in a difficult spot so I only got a couple of good shots out of maybe 50 lol Moony (maroon clown)

Currently I'm working on making my spot for my 46 gallon bowfront. I would like to make it a nice planted tank. the first time I tried planted it didnt work out too well, so i'd like some advice from some of you that know more about it. what are some good fishies for a planted tank? what are...
