    Cloudy water

    Y fish tank has become very cloudy lately. I figured it was because a few plants were dying. I removed the dying plants but the water is still hazy. My fish keep bunching up in the corner in a group for some reason too. Any idea what's going on?

    Fish getting sucked in filter.

    Hello there. I currently have a 56 gal community tank running on a fluval filter. I love it because It keeps my tank very clean and is very quiet. However, I have guppies and They always seem to get sucked to the bars of the filter. Usually I catch them and turn the filter off fast enough to...

    Fish turning white.

    What kind of plants are these?

    I got them from the cheap surprise buds from Walmart. Those are the only plants I can ever get to sprout and grow. But the box doesn't tell you want the are.

    New 56 gal stocking ideas.

    I transferred all the gravel decor and water from my 45 gal to this new 56 gal. (Hoping to keep my cycle). My 45 was tall and hexagon shaped so this rectangle looks so big and empty to me, especially with all of the new floor space! Also for this new filter, hoping its cheaper in the long...

    Is this fin rot?

    At the base of his dorsal fin? Or is it like the normal clear coloration in molly tails and fins?

    Blind Molly?

    Ok, about 3 months ago my cremesicle molly got a bad case of popeye. I treated it the best I could, but I don't think it helped because when the swelling went down her eye almost fogged over. When the fogging went away all that was left of her eye was a very small black dot. After that, she...

    So sad... Cracked tank

    I've had my fish tank for about a year now, and I don't know what happened recently but the bottom is cracked. I went in to check on them today and noticed water in the basin under it (I keep a basin there because the filter has leaked before and we have carpet that would start to mold and...

    Black spots

    I was cleaning my betta tank and noticed that he has black spots all over his fins. They look like coloration but I can't tell. Are these normal on bettas?

    Fin rot?

    My Molly's fins look like they're deteriorating. Shes a year old. And then her fin has started turning white at its base. However I don't think it's ick. She has suffered and recovered from a very bad case of ick about five months ago. Any help? Please?

    Fish names. :)

    I can't be the only one that names all of my fish! Post a picture of your favorite fish with their name, what kind they are, and what makes them so special to you. :) This is Bon Jovi, my marble molly. He runs my tank. He treats me just like he acts towards his four female molly tank mates and...

    Skin peeling from neons?

    So I was at petco today because I finally convinced myself to start a community tank instead of just keeping mollies. I really wanted a nice, easy schooling fish so I immediately looked at their neon tetras. They were the worst looking neons I'd ever seen! Their skin look as though it had...

    My 40 gallon. :)

    My molly tank in my den. They're are five mollies and one lonely guppy. And ten molly fry that are soon to be taken to the pet store. They can't stay still long enough to get a nice picture of them. They may be camera shy. ;)

    Lonely guppy?

    In my tank I have five mollies in a variety of types, but I have one guppy named tuna. He doesn't really interact with the mollies at all and the mollies are constantly playing with each other. They don't pick on him or anything. This sounds really sad, but every time I try to get him guppy...

    Ick or gimp fin?

    I found this on my new creamsicle molly today. I can't tell if its ick or if it is due to that being her gimp fin. Her tail fin is bent right where the white marks are. Almost like she was handled wrong before I got her. Is this anything to worry about?

    Garden gnome decor?

    Hi. I'm thinking about redecorating my tank. It currently has five mollies and a guppy. I've seen people put flower pots in their tanks as decoration and I was wondering if it would be safe to put a garden gnome in as a decoration. It's make from the same thing pots are made of, but I'm not...

    Molly tank

    Currently I have two Dalmatian mollies, one black molly, and nine molly fry in my tank. I was wondering how I should go about handling the fry. I want to have a varied breed of mollies in my tank, but when the fry grow up I won't have room in my 35 gallon tank. Can I just take all my fry to a...

    Molly fry

    I have about seven Molly fry in my tank. I really want to separate them so they don't all get eaten but my parents won't let me set up a fourth tank. How many days will it take for them to get large enough to not get eaten?

    Fresh start.

    Hi there, so about a month ago I noticed one of my black mollies had ick on her. At the time it was only 2 little spots. I did a treatment and water changes and hoped I got rid of it. A few days later I noticed another fish had it, so I did four treatments in a row for four consecutive days and...

    Tank temperature

    My tank has always sat around seventy six degrees, because that's how warm my house is and my fish have all been fine. However, since it's starting to get cold out its been effecting my tank. I woke up this morning an my tank was at 68. Do you recommend I get a heater? If yes, what kind?
