    Tiny white worms living in substrate?

    While doing the weekly water change today in my betta tank, I noticed these really tiny worms floating around when the I disturbed the sand. I thought they were just hair or something because they were not moving or swimming, but then they started to wiggle around confirming my suspicions...

    Ode to my old goldfish! (and cool pic)

    Hey all, I was just going through my older iPod pictures and found this one. This is slightly enhanced with instagram and I apparently didn't save the original :( but still, such a perfect shot with them lined up small to large! I kept goldfish like a newb cause I didn't know any better. When...

    Betta seizure?!

    Last weekend I got a betta and he has been fantastic, up until about an hour ago. I was watching him like I usually do and he seemed fine, swimming around like he'd been all week. Then, right in front of my eyes he flared and had what looked like a seizure! He shook violently for a minute, his...

    Wanted: Apple snails

    I'm looking for one or two apple snails for free, preferably larger ones. I live in Southern California 93555 and will pay a shipping fee so long as it's relatively low. Thank you :3

    First Ever Betta :D

    I always feel so bad going to petco and having to hurry by the betta cups because looking at them makes me sad. Yesterday, however, it was unavoidable. I purchased some black aquarium sand and some live plants and went to find my dad so we could leave. He was looking at the bettas. As usual...

    Sulking fish?

    I may be over worrying, but I'd still like a little advice to calm me or totally freak me out even more. Here goes... I have a school of 9 Scissortail rasboras, 2 Australian rainbowfish, 2 angelfish, and a 4inch common pleco in a 55gal. (will be rehoming the pleco when i find a suitable home)...

    Plant suggestions for a newbie?

    Hello all! My aquarium is doing surprisingly well and I would really like to add some plants to help with nitrates and give my angels some organic matter to pick at. I'd like to add plants but don't want to add fertilizer to the substrate or dabble in co2. So I was wondering if plants can be...

    EBO-Jagger heaters?

    Good morning fellow fish lovers! So, as it is finally starting to cool down here in the Mojave, I suspect the cheapo heater we currently have is not going to cut it through the winter. Somebody in town was selling two 100gal aquariums and two pallets full of decor and media. We got both of these...

    I think I'm cycled?

    So I started out doing a fishless cycle which lasted for about a month (with little results due to not realizing I was using the test kit wrong), before starting a fish-in cycle with 9 rasboras about 6 days ago. I have tested everyday since adding the fish, the results are always consistent...

    Fish in cycle, and furious

    >:( Well, I was really hoping my dad was serious when he said he was withdrawing from the aquarium a few days ago, but apparently he just can't help himself and screwed up my plans. I'm about to rip my hair out, it's like he did this just in spite of me! I told him I was planning on getting...

    55gal stocking help

    Ph 8.2

    Our tap/aquarium water tests at 8.2 ph. We've added driftwood to help naturally lower it, to no avail. I'm not really concerned with the ph because I've read a lot about how, so long as the ph is stable and at safe levels, you shouldn't really worry about. It's more important for fish to be in...

    Betta in community?

    We are in the process of starting a 55gal freshwater community aquarium. Our stocking will likely consist of: 2 Angelfish 2 GBR (maybe) 7-10 Scissortail Rasboras 1 pleco another 7-10 small schooling fish like red eye tetras My question is, could we add a betta if we wanted, or would he and...

    Scissortail rasboras + Rummy nose

    They seem so similar! I was wondering if they would school together or not? My dad loves the rasboras and I'm dead set on having the rummy nose. Just wondering if they'd get along or not or if anyone has any experience with keeping both. Thanks ^^

    Good algea or bad? (if algea at all??)

    I have weird algae growing in my 55gallon aquarium, currently in the beginning stages of cycling, and it doesn't look good. It may not even be algae? It's white colored, and has grown onto the side of the glass in one spot, on the filter intake, in the leaves of my fake plants and onto the rock...

    As of now...

    This is what my 55gal looks like. It's been cycling for a week or two and the decor has slowly been accumulating. We have lots of fake plants and after weeks of putting down the idea of slate rocks in, I now believe the tank won't be complete without it! :facepalm: Not sure if I like the...

    Cycling...how much ammonia?

    Hello my fellow fish lovers! I have started cycling my 55gal aquarium. I'm using ace janitorial grade ammonia, and all day today I have put in three or four drops (I put a little in the cap and drip some into the tank), wait a bit, test the ammonia, and add more if needed. I've been at it most...

    Cycling :)

    As of right now we have the tank up and running, minus the heater (ordered online waiting to receive in the mail). We plan on keeping some of the decor, but mostly it's just in there to keep the tank from looking empty. Haven't officially started the cycle, but so so close!! We are thinking a...

    Pleco w/ich

    I have a 10gallon aquarium set up with two filters, (one for a 15gal and the other for a 10gal), which currently houses a 2-3 inch common pleco. We have a 55gallon that we are currently preparing to set up and cycle so he will have a bigger home soon. I noticed my pleco has ich from some...

    What is coming out of my mystery snail?

    The picture quality isn't good, but it appears to be weird little yellow things held together with a whitish slime that is coming from my snail. I thought mystery snails had to have 2 to breed and they lay their eggs above the water line? Knowing this, I have no idea what's coming out of him if...

    Good news :)

    I'm a newbie who had 8 goldfish in a 10gallon, which I recently re-homed four hours away to a nice couple with a large pond. While I was really upset about my goldfish whom I <3'd a lot, my mood was uplifted when I returned home to find my pleco and my mystery snail much happier. The pleco...
