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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello! I was thinking of getting a few ghost shrimp in my tank as I heard they make great cleaners. I was wondering if there is anything special I need to know about them. The tank is a 20g, and their mates would be neon tetras, harlequin rasboras, julii corys, and a mystery snail. I have quite...

Hello! Just recently my dwarf gourami died randomly :( But Im looking on the brighter side of things, and am wondering what type(s) of fish I should get. Right now I have 10 neon tetras, 8 harlequin rasboras, 4 julii corys, and a mystery snail. The dimensions of the tank are 24.5 inches long...

Hello! Yesterday I noticed my dwarf gourami not eating at all. Today he still didn't have much of an appetite and just hid behind the themometer when food came. Just now I come home and find him lying at the bottom breathing rapidly and very weak. So weak the filter picked him up and I had to...

Hello! Today I woke up to find my mystery snail buried itself in the sand. About an hour later It began to climb to the top of the tank and stick that air tube thing out above the water. I then noticed it sticking its head in and out of the shell really fast, almost like it had an itch or...

Hello! For the past week I have noticed some clear stringy poo floating at the top of my goldfish tank. I haven't noticed any change in behavior or anything though, so im not sure which on has it. There is a black moor, a ryukin, and a lionhead goldfish in the tank. I know this can be some...

Hello! Ever since I started caring for fish I found that the nitrate was always 20ppm or more. Today I found it was at a staggering 80ppm! :banghead: I have 2 freshwater tanks, one 55g filled with goldfish (1 black moor, 1 ryukin, 1 lion head) and the other 20g filled with 10 tetras, 4 corys, 6...

Hello! I got in an argument with my buddy today on whether or not different kinds of corys school together. I said that they are best with their own kind (like jullie with jullie or panda with panda) My buddy said that 1 jullie, 1 panda, and 2 albino corys would do just fine in a tank. I always...

Hello! I bought a dwarf Gourami yesterday, along with 10 neon tetras for my 20 gallon tank. The tank has been cycled and the neon tetras are all fine. My gourami however is either at the top or bottom, just swimming and breathing really heavy. I have an airstone, and both of my filters are...

Hello! I recently set up a 20 gallon aquarium, cycled of course, and have found my pH is at 7.8. I just added 1 gourami and 10 neon tetras, along with a couple of plants today. I need help lowering the pH as my gourami seems stressed. Any help is welcome! :fish2: :thanks:

Hello! I recently decided to set up a fresh water and have never dealt with these kind of fish before. I'm wondering what would be a good diet for them. I'm planning on having neon tetras, rasboras, corys, and a gourami. If anyone knows good food brands or vegetables that these fish like to eat...

Hello! I decided to set up a 20 gallon fresh water aquarium, and was wondering what plants would best suit it. The substrate is sand, and I'm planning on putting in 10 neon tetras, 8 harlequin rasboras, 4 corys, and 1 dwarf gourami. Also, If you know where to get plants for the cheapest please...

Hello! I decided to dust off my old 20 gallon and set up another freshwater aquarium. What should I put in? I was thinking of getting tetras, and am wondering how many I could get. Any other suggestions of fish would be appreciated too! :fish2: :thanks:

Hello! Just today I noticed that my small lion head has a white line around the bottom of both his eyes, almost like eyeliner I guess. His face has been getting puffier lately and I wondering if this is just wen growth. Any help would be appreciated!! :fish2: :thanks:

Hello! The pH of my tank recently dropped to 6.0, so I did daily water changes to try and bring it up. The best I could get was a pH of 6.8, so I went and bought some crushed coral. I put it in the 2 media containers that were included with the Emperor 400 filter, and was wondering how often I...

Hello! As summer comes in, it really been getting hot both day and night. My black moor, comet, ryukin, and lion head goldfish are all hanging around the bottom, sometimes sitting. Is it because of the temperature change? My tank is usually 67F, but is 73F right now. If temperatures the problem...

Hello! I have had some mystery snails in my tank before, and i couldn't quite figure out why they kept dying. The max i had one was probably 2-3 months, and then a foul odor came. Some even died within a week. I wanted to get some new ones, but first want to know if my tank is suitable. I have a...

Hello! I haven't really had any questions as my tank has been well for a while, but lately I noticed the fish seemed a lot more hungry. I have a blackmoor, Ryukin, and a baby lion head who is just starting wen growth. I have not changed their diet of pellets, blood worms, and occasionally peas...

Hello! So I decided to stay home an extra day and watch my lionhead for any growth. Just now I spotted I white bump like a pimple on his face. How can I cure this and how long will it take? Any suggestions would help!

Hello! I have had a lionhead goldfish for about 6 months now that I bought when it was just a little baby. For the past 2 days he has been floating near the top, not gasping for air or anything, just sitting up there swimming gently. He has no swim bladder issue, as I saw him swim down to the...
