The white spots are smaller than they usually look with Ich to me. I started treating the tank and bumped up the temp 4 days ago and it doesnt seem to be helping.

I've got a pair of Heros sp. Curare and I'm not sure what to make of this behaviour. One has been in this tank a while and the other one moved in from my girlfriends house a couple days ago. Her fish is probably the biggest wuss I've ever seen, as a side note. Even at her house she never left...

My Severum is usually king of the tank which is why it seemed odd yesterday that she wasn't going after anyone, and today I came inside to her laying on the ground. She just lays there with the odd attempt at swimming but she is very weak. Loss of appetite. It looks like her stomach is kind of...

I have a 90g tank with a Rotkeil Severum and some Red Head Tapajos right now, but I am selling the Tapajos on Wednesday because I feel they need more space. There are also some Congo tetras in there but they are reaching the end of their lives and slowly dying off. I have a wild Red Tiger...

Okay so I got this guy about a month ago off Kijiji, and he's never actually eaten in front of me but I know he's eating a little bit because he is pooping, but I end up removing most of the food because its untouched, and the poop is not stringy or discolored. He also is very skittish around...

I bought a ~4" green terror on Kijiji and since I've gotten him home he has not eaten. In front of me anyway. It's been about 2 weeks now. He's pooping, so he must be eating something, but he never shows interest in the food when I put it in. There's also a cardinal tetra and some otos in the...

Hey all, I need some advice for tomorrow. My girlfriends 150g broke last night, so she is getting rid of the fish she's got. We both have 5 tapajos and a severum. My group I'm pretty sure is 1F and 4M, which is less than ideal. They are in a 90g with my Rotkiel, a BN pleco and some Congo tetras...

So the wheels have finally been set in motion, my BML Dutch 6300k XB light came in the mail a couple days ago, and so I set up the 55g with a couple friends. My CO2 gear still hasn't come in and I have yet to grab a cylinder, but I'll do that this weekend. My ferts are mixed and I've begun...

I have a 37g planted tank right now with Eco Complete substrate that I will be upgrading to a 55g. However, I'm not sure if my water parameters are ideal for some of the smaller matting plants like glossostigma or dwarf baby tears. I just got a KH/GH testing kit and apparently my water is at...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has helped me along my journey of learning about and acquiring fish. At long last my 90 gallon is up in my room, and the substrate has been changed out, and my stocking is complete. I wanted to show everyone what your help has assisted me in...

So my girlfriend and I picked up some fish labelled as Red Head Tapajos at the LFS. She already had three and she picked up two more and I got 5. They look different than the ones she already had from the same store. So we were wondering if this is just a similar looking species that was...

I got 5 Red or Orange Head Tapajos from my LFS yesterday. I know it's a long read but please help! They are somewhat small so I figured they would be fine in my 37g for a week, as it is the only tank I have sand in right now. I'll be moving my 90g into my room this weekend and switching out the...

So I have a 30" stand and am getting a tank for it on Friday. I want to put a pair of rams in the tank, 5 Otos and 7 neon tetras. Would that be too overstocked for a 20g long? If I went with the 37g I may want to add a school of Cory's or other tetras to the list. Maybe an angelfish if they...

I have a 37g tall tank that is planted with a few cabombas and anubias right now, but I will be planting it more heavily soon. Right now I have an (I think) 20w Aqueon single light that came with the tank, and the plants seem to be doing fine, and I just picked up a Marineland Single Bright LED...

I work at a grocery store in produce and all the corn we got in has corn earworms in it and I am tasked at sorting through the ears and finding the bad ones. If I took some of them home, would they be safe to feed to my cichlids? Might as well not waste, right? :P

I have a 90g tank and am looking to add a group of Red Head Tapajos. I've read they like to be in groups but any further information has evaded me. Would 4 be an acceptable number? A trio? What M:F ratio should I aim for? If a breeding pair forms will the others in the group get beat on or will...

I was looking at my pond and noticed a bunch of these little things, anybody have any idea what kind of larvae it is? I'm wondering if I'd be able to feed them to my cichlids. I live in Alberta, Canada if that helps.

So I have a 90g (48x18x24) tank and I'm looking to stock it with some South American cichlids and dither fish. So far I have 20 neon tetras (I wanted a large school) and am unsure what else I want in there. There will also be a common pleco (yes I know they aren't the best, but my girlfriend...

So I'm hopefully buying a 90g tank off Kijiji in the coming weeks, and id like to make a lightly planted amazon biotope tank. The only fer sure fish I have so far is an 11" common pleco (saved it from my girlfriends 20g) and some neon tetras. I have 8 neons in my 10g until the tank is ready...

So I'm looking for a good deal on Kijiji for a tank in this range, and can't decide what I want to do with it. The only thing I know fer sure is I am saving my girlfriends 9"ish common pleco from his 20g. Some ideas that appeal to me would be to get some snakeheads (though from what I've read...

The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Canada, and therefore the insects are unfortunately appearing now. I was wondering which kinds of insects I could feed to my Leopard Ctenopoma and African Butterfly Fish because I see insects everywhere and hunting for food for my friends seems...

I have 15+ fry right now which appear to be a mix of Yellow Lab and another Mbuna (the Lab mother came from a mixed Mbuna tank and some of the fry are starting to show some stripes so thats why i think theyre hybrids). I dont have room for all of them once they grow, so does anyone know of any...

Right now I'm raising a group of about 15 yellow lab fry that I got from a fish before I returned her to the store. I have a 37g tank, and I'm raising the fry in a 10g right now. In the 37 I have an approximately 3 inch Leopard Ctenopoma, some guppies that are condemned to be meals, an african...

I don't know what I'm looking for. They are Electric Yellow Labs.

So I just bought some Electric Yellow Labs from the pet store yesterday and the female not only looks pregnant, but looks like the fry are already hatched. I am hoping to strip them today. I don't want to leave them in the main tank because they will be eaten, but my only other option is a 10g...
