hello. I have a 55 G freshwater aquarium, that's been set up about 4 months now. I have always had the brown algae on the inside of the glass. But now there is other algae growing everywhere, that looks like "hair". The light is on about 12 to 14 hours a day. Is this algae bad to have, and is...

hello. I have 6 male guppies and 1 snail, which have been together for months without issues. Last night I did a partial water change. Today I have noticed sperm looking things swimming around. The fish don't seem to be interested in eating them, and I even witnessed some getting pulled into...

Can anyone tell from this short video clip, or pics, if my plants are healthy or dying? Not knowing is killing me. Sometimes my water doesn't test well and if my plants are dying, then it should help by removing them. Thanks

I have 2 male mollies in a 55 community tank, without a female. They have been fine till now. Anyone know what they are doing? Thanks

I had an earlier thread asking for suggestions on what to do with my sick pregnant Molly. But I would like to be more descriptive on her symptoms and maybe somebody has an idea of what she is suffering from. For the most part she remains vertical with her lips to the gravel, while twisting and...

Just did a 20 percent water change on my 55 gallon, and my pregnant Dalmatian seems to be dying. She is down at the bottom trying to put her face in the corner. Not swimming straight at all. If she dies what will happen to the fry? Should I separate her before she dies?

I had this plant in my 55G Fresh for a week before I learned it is a SEMI aquatic plant. I removed it so it doesn't poison my water as it dies. Anyone happen to know the kind?

The title of this thread says it all. My snail was all the way to the top of a 55 gallon when it slid off, and bounced off a large rock decor at the bottom. Can these impacts break his shell and lead to death?

I just added a 7th male guppy to an all male guppy tank, and I can't tell if he is an aggressive fish or just playing. He is now the largest and he seems persistent with one in particular. Perhaps he's battling with the previous alpha? Should I move him because it was a very peaceful tank?

I was in the market for a 30 gallon aquarium. I looked online for the dimensions and I noticed the 30 gallon was listed as a breeder, and above that was a 29 gallon with totally different dimensions. What exactly is the difference besides dimensions? It would be for a freshwater community...

I did not know about this fish until I saw 1 at a fish store. I would love a couple of them. I had researched them and found that they can thrive in brackish, even freshwater aquariums. Currently I have Mollies, guppies, platys, leopard danios, neon tetras and Julii Corys. I am looking for...

(I meant safe not save) I have a male and pregnant female Dalmatian Molly , and 8 neon tetras, 7 male guppies in my 55. I will be adding a hand full of male platys very shortly. I am sticking with male only of guppies and platys because I do not want a tank with constant fry from 3...

I understand it's politically correct to give advice on message boards to newbies just joining the hobby. Weekly water changes, weekly testing, adding different chemicals, etc. But has anyone had great success with aquariums using the old fashioned way? Letting the water evolve naturally...

I came across this fish while researching online for different community fish I could add to my 55G community. This fish is awesome looking. I am down to 3 Longfin Leopards and are hoping a couple of these will school with them. Who has any? What do ya think about them?

[B][/B Will just want Julii Cory in a 10 gallon with 6 guppies be okay? I have read in a lot of places that you need at least 4 of them.

so I have a 55 gallon community tank with an eventual goal of 40 fish. For me, you can never have enough hiding spots. It is well decorated with decor and plants so space is limited. And then I had in idea: I am going to use a half inch PVC pipe "elbow" and attach java moss to it. I'm sure it...

Does anyone know where I can find a picture guide of the different Platys. I want to add 1 from 5 different species to my 55 gallon community. There are so many awesome ones I cannot narrow it down.

so I have a 55 gallon freshwater community tank, with 2 male and 2 female cherry barbs, 2 Mollies, 5 guppies, and 8 neon tetras. The larger of the 2 male cherries, will not only chase around his female counterpart, but he is relentless towards the tetras and guppies as well. I do not want a...

Please disregard my similiar thread I posted earlier. I really want this Platy and can't find the same name from more than 2 sources. Too many different names associated with it. Thanks in advance!!
