Hmm that's funny. I would wait and see what others have to say about it. My recommendation would be to add 2 more corys like you were planning and leave the rest as is. If it is a loach it's probably a Hillstream loach which get up to 4 inches and should be ok in your tank.

Does it look like this? In that case you may have a loach.

What type of plecos do you have? Bristlenose plecos would probably be fine but if they are common plecos i would suggest you get rid of them. I had a buddy who's pleco grew to a foot in 2 years. I would recommend removing both the plecos and maybe getting some more catfish and/or a snail. With...

Hello! Over the course of a day I noticed my Ryukins red patches fade away and now they are a dull redish white. He's eating fine and swimming around normally so he doesn't appear to be sick. He's in a 55 gallon tank along with a black moor and a lionhead goldfish, whose colors havent faded at...

Thanks for the reply! It has not affected his vision at all and luckily has stayed clear of his eyes. It has the exact same bubble shape that the rest of the wen on his face has but just seems to be white instead.

Hello! About a year ago I posted a thread about the strange white lines that were appearing under my lionhead goldfish's eyes. I was expecting them to Wen growth and be gone by now but it seems to have only gotten bigger. They are still white and look more swollen then before. I fear it's...

Thanks for the help! I think i'm going to find some flat rocks for the tank like you suggested.

Hello! Today I picked up some java moss from my local fish store. Once I got home I realized I had nothing to attach it to. All I have in the tank is some sand a couple rocks and some other live plants growing. How could I get for it to grow in a nice carpet without attaching it to anything but...

Your filter may have stopped. I know if you don't clean it out every month or so it can build up and be released.

I have julii corys in my tank and I know they love shrimp pellets and algae wafers. I'd suggest you try those. I find they also just skim around the bottom in their spare time eating flakes or cleaning live plants if you have any. Recently my catfish laid eggs, and I'm hoping they will hatch...

Nice to hear you got into aquarium keeping! Is this the first tank you have had?

They don't need any kind of floating dock. I just see mine swim to the surface for a quick second for air, then dart back down to the surface. They're pretty funny. Once I saw on riding on my mystery snail shell. I know ghost shrimp can get sucked up by the filter, so I'd suggest you research it...

Haha, nice frogs! Mine also love bloodworms and brine shrimp. I have a special area behind some plants where I feed mine so hopefully other fish won't steal all of it. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! Good to know my bottom feeders will be ok!

Thanks for the help! I'm still waiting on them to hatch, and my lfs said they would take some!

Do you think it would survive shipping to British Columbia, Canada? If so, I would be interested in buying :)

Thank you! Dwarf hair grass is what I was looking for. Would my bottom feeders have a hard time with it?

Hello! Today I was taking a look at others tanks on here and was wondering what that green carpet of moss is called that you guys/girls grow at the bottom of the tank. The bottom of my tank is a little plain and I was hoping to add some color to the tank. Would bottom feeders like corys still be...

Thanks for the replys! I hope my lfs will take some off my hands. I once had tiny snails hitch a ride on some plants I got. I grew them up a little and my goldfish liked them!

Thanks for the reply. They seem to be moist at all times, so hopefully they will do ok.

Hello! This morning I discovered a huge clutch of mystery snail eggs right by the lid of the tank. I heard they need to be moist so I put the bubbler under it so It would splash it a little. I don't want my tank to be infested with them, so is there any way I can safely remove and relocate them...

So far they have been doing great! They are eating and crawling around, sometimes the corys like to look at them hahaha

I got 2 of them today, just letting the bag float before putting them in. Hope they do good!

Thanks for the replys!! Glad to hear they wont hurt my fish! I think i'm going to pick up 2 from the petstore. Thanks again!!

Hello! While I was at my lfs today I noticed they were selling African Dwarf Frogs. They had them in with some other fish so maybe that's why I have never seen them before. They looked pretty cool and I was thinking of getting some, but I thought I better do some research before I get them. I...
