Hey everyone, My wife and I were thinking about getting the kids a new tank for Christmas. The only we have now is about 15 years old and the silicone caulk in it comes off a little more every time I clean it and it is, in general, just kind of beat up. Anyways, I was looking and we both...

I was just wondering.... A couple of days ago I posted about a sick fish of mine that is laying on the bottom and then swimming straight up sporadically. I have Quick Cure for Ick and other Protozoan Parasites, mild Fluke outbreaks, Costia, Chilodonell, and Trichondina. I didn't see the white...

An angel of mine looks sick. It is swimming strangely and going straight up then coming back down to the rocks and kind of just laying there! Every other fish looks and is swimming fine. The sick angel's fins are not spread out and I'm not sure but I might see white dots, ick. I have Quick...

Just today I cleaned out my 6gal Nano cube. I took about the filter and cleaned everything. The thing that spins inside the pump seems to have broke because it make really loud noises and isn't pumping water. What should I do? Where should I buy a replacement? Do I have to order it? How...

Hello. I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I am having with about an 18 month old Angel fish. I recently moved, and everyone made it fine except I noticed right away my Angel was acting a little strange. Now yesterday when I got home, the Angel was laying on the ground, still...

I bought a piece of Xenia about six months back. It completely moved from the rock it came with to another rock in my tank. Now, it has split into two separate plants on the same rock. I know all this is normal. I was told this will happen. I also know that you can move a piece of Xenia and...

I have recently noticed some odd behavior with my feather duster. It hadn't come out for about a week and then it only came out half way. I moved the rock around because I thought maybe it was being smashed. However, it wasn't. It had connected itself to the rock so I couldn't even move it...

Hello. I am about to move in with my girlfriend and the biggest question I am having is how move my 37 gallon hex tank. Do I have to take all the fish out? I know I don't want to start with all new water so how much should I leave in? Do I bag up the fish for the ride to the new place (only...

Hello. I bought an 8 gallon nano about a year ago. I was not and still am not very familiar with saltwater tanks so I thought that the nano would be a good start. I asked the person at my local fish store if I needed to do anything similar to vacuuming the rocks at the bottom of a freshwater...

Hello. I have a 37gal freshwater tank that I really like but I purchased another tank over the weekend that I am making a saltwater tank. It is just a 6gal NanoCube tank. I have bought the live sand and 7 lbs of live rock. With the NanoCube (very impressed with it by the way) there is a...

I just bought a pleco two days ago. I bought it and they told me it was a vampire pleco. However, when I started researching it a little further the only pictures I found of vampire plecos were all black with white spots. Mine is the exact opposite being all white with black spots. Is this...

Can someone please help me with this. I heard that you are really asking for trouble if you clean the outside of your tank with something like Windex because of the ammonia. The outside of my tank is not looking to good because of water changes and dripping water down the side. It really...

I was just wondering...I hear alot of different things about feeding fish. The directions on the container say 2 to 3 times daily. The worker at the local fish store I go to (who is very knowledgable) says just once because of the possibility of overfeeding and then polluting your tank. I was...

I am kind of new to this and I was just wondering when do you give your tank its first water change. I have probably had my tank for a little over a month now. I have 10 fish in a 35 gallon tank. I bought the Bio Spiro stuff to and was wondering when to clean and how much do I take out...

Hello. I am new to the aquarium hobby. I recently bought a common pleco and now I can't find it anywhere in my tank. There aren't too many hiding spots besides the inside of a big piece of drift wood. This may sound stupid but I am worried he died and could possibly be polluting my tank...
