My sister set up a tank for her daughter and doesn't know much about fish care. I'm trying to give her a hand, but I live a few states away, she has gotten the tank cycled and they added these fish - the receipt at the store said zebra tetra - which I'm not familiar with. They now have ick and I...

Two gold gourami and two silver dollar fish all about four inches long. I rescued them from someone who was going to flush them, but my tank is pretty small for them. I would like to find them a home in a bigger tank. If you are interested in one or all let me know, pick up only. I'm just...

Hi guys! I am science coordinator for a small private school and my first and second graders are doing a unit on observing a pond. I'm trying to avoid using the kit because for some reason they give two tupperware containers and a coupon for an order that sends 25 platies at once! Go figure...

This weekend I was able to pick up a thirty gallon tank with an iron stand, and filters, hood etc. for $35!! I am really wanting to use this tank as a breeding tank for either my GBR or my Keyhole Cichlids. I know my GBR have spawned in my community tank, but I haven't seen the Keyholes spawn...

I have been helping my dad set up a 90 gallon tank in his office. We've been stocking it very slowly as any fish let alone healthy fish are hard to come by in their area. Their tank has been running for over a year, and has live plants. My dad does ~40% water changes every two weeks. I don't...

Here is the story behind this tetra. About 4 days ago I noticed this on his side. It appeared to be a whitish spot surrounded by red, but not infected tissue. I decided to give it a ~2% salt bath, I wasn't sure if it was a wound or a parasite and I'm still not sure. I've been giving it a daily...

I am currently battling a bout of ich from some new fish to my estabished 55, it's been running for almost two years now. I recently added some rainbows to my tank and sure enough saw ich a couple of days later, everyone is doing well other than the ich, eating fine and getting along. Only the...

My parents have a 90 gallon tank that I've been helping them with. I've been really proud of them. They grew up just toping off tanks, but I've given them some help and they've done a really good job maintaing the tank. My dad has it as a display tank in his office, and he changes the water once...

I have two female guppys with about 10 three week fry in a 10 gallon. The fry have taken to nipping on the tail fin of one of the females. They just pick on one not the other. I feed them enough, so I don't think they're hungry. It's getting bad enough I'm thinking about getting another tank or...

I think my GBR just laid eggs. The male didn't come out to eat this morning so I looked for him and he is way down in the java moss in a little depression in the bogwood and it looks like eggs are down in there. Do males typically guard? He has been sitting in that hollow all day. If you're...

I have two female guppies that I got from the pet store 5 weeks ago. Three weeks ago one of them dropped 7 fry. However they both look like they have dark gravid spots still, and one of them is huge! How long can they carry their young? Is it possible that the one that dropped fry could drop...

I haven't had my aquarium very long. but I was curious what fish death by old age looks like? Has anyone had a fish die from old age? Do they stop eating, get diseased, or appear normal and just die? Just curious, as hopefully I will have many long lived fish.

I have two boesmani rainbows and two guppies that I got from a pet store on Sat. It's not my usually petstore and the tanks didn't look that great so I put the fish in my 10 gallon quarantine tank. They all have been eating, the guppies more so than the rainbows, and looked good until this...

I have a 55 gallon tropical community tank that I LOVE! I have Anubias, Crypts, and Java Fern and Moss, and one banana plant. They've been doing okay, but I want a brigher tank. I currently have just under 1 wpg, but and upgrading soon to 130 watts. I am going to be trying to add some DIY...

Can someone help me with the id of these rainbow fish? They were identified as red rainbow and turquoise rainbow at the lfs. However fish base doesn't have turquoise rainbow as a common name that I could find and I couldn't find it in the photos. The red rainbow, there are several "red"...

My parents have four rainbows in their 90 gallon tank at work. They had what I though was Columnaris, white fuzzies around the mouth. (just these four fish none of the others have had a problem). They have been treating with Marycin and Melafix. They are now telling me that the threads are...

I have a school of eight neon tetras. Most of them are healthy and colorful, but I have a question on two of them. Two of them have developed brownish sploches in their red portion, especially near the tail. The coloration definately looks like it's pigment or under the scales, not fungus...

I am looking to get some new lighting for my 55 gallon. I would like to get ~2wpg. So around 110 watts of light. I would be happy to trade a fluval 404, as well as some strip lights if interested. The fluval 404 works great, but it a little noisy. It has been that way since I got it and...

I was checking out one of the julii cories that I got from the lfs yesterday and I noticed it has 5 or six little "blisters" on its head. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I have never seen it before. They are not really discolored or anything they just look like they are filled...

I am upgrading my tank so I will be needing to move my plants too. I think that my anubis is ready to be divided. Do I just cut the rhizome? What's a good length to keep the rhizome? I don't want to cut it too short. Thanks

I am setting up a 90 gllon tank and am plannin on having 4 Angelfish and several schooling species of tetras (larger than a neon). I would like to include some small cichlids. The problem is I have been receiving different information from each of my local pet stores. One says that apistos are...
