    Babies and more babies

    Guess I am lucky my fish keep having babies. I have 3 now that have moved to the main tank and 5 more in the fry tank, not to mention the two I just found hiding under the air stone. The only problem is I don't have room to keep them all in the tank and don't know what to do with them. Guess...

    newbie startin up

    How big is your tank? Make sure you do at least a 25% water change a couple of times a week and check your levels. Good luck and enjoy your new fishie friends.

    Is this a good tank

    If he has an algae eater and it is still green on the sides the algae eater can't keep up with it. Does he have a tank brush? I would check the water quality and add more water unless he had it low because the fish are jumpers and he has no hood.

    Is this a good tank

    How many live plants are in there and what size is the tank?

    Is this a good tank

    Maybe he is giving them too many. I give mine one every few days.

    Is this a good tank

    I am guessing that he keeps the water level thar low because he has no hood on the tank. Does he have a Pleco or algae eater of any kind. If it is green they would have a feast. Has he done a water change lately? I do a 25% change every Sat. His setup looks good just looks like the tank...

    Is this a good tank

    Is it really that cloudy? Or is it just the way the pics look. Also is the water level that low for a reason? The fish from what I can see of them look ok. I am no expert for sure but if it is really that cloudy I would check the levels. It is it a new setup that is still cycling.

    Pleco problem

    Pleco problem

    Update I called the Aquarium Center and they said they would take him. He looked so much happier by the time we left they put him in a 55 gallon with 2 other fish. We got a clown Pleco that we were told only gets to be around 2 1/2 inches.

    Pleco problem

    Actually he looks better than that he was moving when the picture was taken. He is very healthy and active and eats very well. I just don't know how to go about trying to find him a new home.

    Pleco problem

    Y 20 gallon acrylic came with a 7 year old 6 inch Pleco that my boys aptly named Rex. IMO he is way to big for the tank but seems happy and healthy with the other fish. Should I try to find him a new home in a bigger tank or leave him?

    There is a fungus amomg us.

    We used Jungle fungus cure it was 11 pm when I found it so we had to get it at Walmart the only directions were to use 1 tab for every 10 gallons and repeat in 4 days if necessary. Thanks for the help. I am just glad I caught it in time. It seemed I just had the tank stabilized when he got...

    There is a fungus amomg us.

    Can someone please help I can find no info on how long to keep the carbon out of the filter once the fish has no fungus on it.

    Swim bladder treatment! Help!

    Take the filter bag out of the filter. You can treat the whole tank but if you have a smaller sick tank to put him in it is better. Good luck I just had to treat for a fungus on a tetra. Cleared up overnight so we got it early.

    Quick platy help

    :( I had the same thing happen to a glow fish. Found out too late that we could have treated the tam, with fungus medication and would have probably saved him. Sorry about your platty.

    Have a 20 gallon acrylic tank that we set up a month ago. Everything has cycled well and we have not lost anybody for over a week. The last fish was a glow light tetra that we replaced. Last night I noticed that the new glow light has a fuzzy fungus on his face. I medicated the tank and this...

    There is a fungus among us

    I I have a 20 gallon acrylic tank that has been set up for a month. Last night I noticed that one of the glow light tetras had a fuzzy fungus on his face. We medicated the tank and this morning the fungus had cleared up. How long should I leave the cartridge out of the filter to make sure the...
