    Angels in community tank are trying to spawn

    I have two medium sized angels in a community tank that just put down a large selection of eggs on a wire hanging in the back of the tank. I'm not realy looking to breed anything, but I'm worried about how aggressive they've become to protect it. They are in the tank with: gouramis, clown...

    White goo? What is this stuff?!?

    So my QT tank has developed this white goop. Is this a fungas? Algae? I've never seen anything white like it. It grows pretty quickly. Any ideas? I'm glad I'm not seeing it in my main tank! *knock on wood* Picture attatched. EDIT: sorry about the duplication, there isn't much indication...

    Repeated problems with fungas, seeking advice...

    Currently the angels are covered in what appears to be a white haze. Definitely looks fungas oriented? I'll see if I can get good pictures, but it's hard without the perfect lighting since it just looks like a white haze covering them. My questions: I just finished with my 2 yoyo loaches in a...

    Looking for plant suggestions my fish will not eat!

    As the title says I'm looking for some plant suggestions my fish will not eat. They seem to destroy anacharis and horn wart. They've been happily munching on my slowly dieing amazon sword. The anubias and java fern they seem to leave alone, not that they haven't tried to eat it. Although...

    Dealing with hot tap water in the summer

    Here in the desert my tap water can get as hot as 86F+ right out of the tap! Currently my tank is right next to a sink and I'd rather not make buckets of water just so I can try and cool them down to room temperature, although I will do that if no other choice is available. Anyone ever used...

    Red hair algae?

    Is this red hair? I know that java fern is known to have some strange "spores" that grow off the bottom of the leaves. I've never seen red hair algae before, but it looks more like that?

    Freaky clown loach laying on it's side thing....

    Why do clown loaches do this? Does anyone know? I watched my clown loach specifically flip himself over and lay on his side several times today. Is there some reason someone has figured out for this behavior?

    how to bunch, bunched plants?

    I've been using the metal retainer that comes with most bunched plants (anacharis in this case) and I'm having problems keeping them together and anchored down. I can't tell exactly what is happening but the anacharis seems to escape somehow from the metal weight and float to the surface. This...

    feeding questions

    So I'm trying to make sure my plecos get a little extra something to eat and I don't seem them out during the day. So I'm guessing I should try feeding them at night, but when I drop some alge wafers in most of the tank goes for them. Should I try feeding the entire tank at night so I can keep...

    Local Clubs and Auctions?

    I know there's more Arizona people out there, sign up! Does anyone know of good local auctions or clubs? There's one group I've seen around here (haven't attending meetings yet) that meets up at Peter Piper Pizza near metro center. They have a website but it escapes me for now.

    My glass cover is constantly fogging up and collection moisture. The moisture wlil dry and leave hard water deposits behind. This seems to significantly reduce the power output of my lights. Do people usually just run without a glass cover? I've never had a fish jump out of the tank, but...

    using household sponges to clean aquariums

    So I was looking for a good sponge to clean aquariums with the other day and I noticed that ALL of the household sponges specifically say "not for aquarium use" on them. Is that because of the antibacterial natures of them? Do I have to buy a special expensive aquarium sponge or something?
