    Can shrimp (cherry, CRS) survive the heat treatment for an ich outbreak?

    I have a 10g tank with some juvi cories, bristlenose, and a few guppy fry. This tank also houses my entire cherry and crystal red shrimp populations. Now from what I've read the shrimp can't catch the ich, but my question is will the shrimp tolerate a heat treatment? I know CRS like a lower...

    Has my angel developed hole in the head?

    About a week ago I noticed a bit of a bump on my angelfish and I chalked it up to him being a bit of a derp and thought he had scratched himself and developed a bump. The bump went away the next day and then it appeared like he had scratched himself and the dead skin was peeling off a little...

    Established tank having an ammonia issue.

    My tank is having an issue with ammonia right now. I have a 10 gallon tank with 5 juvi cories in it. It has been established for almost a year. Tank parameters are stable except for the ammonia - 0-10 nitrates, 0 nitrites - but I have a low ph - it hovers around 6. The tank is currently running...

    My ram has a large flesh colored bump (pimple?) - is it treatable?

    Hello, I noticed today that my GBR has a large flesh colored bump on him. Might even be pimple-like. He's in a heavily planted 29g tank with 3 other rams, 3 white/2 black skirt tetras, and 14 rummys. Tank's been up and running since April. I've had this ram for a few months now. The tank has an...

    Lost a few mollies, wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong

    Hello, Over the last month or so I've lost 4 mollies. I was so sad to come home today to find the 4th one being munched on by one of my snails. All the water paramaters in my tank (29 planted) are fine (Ammonia & Nitrite = 0, Nitrates are a bit high at about 40-50) except for my ph. It's been...

    Iron stand with no braces in the middle... should I be afraid of hardscaping?

    I have a stand that is similar to this. Except it is 30in x 12in and holds my 29 gallon tank. I went to the beach today and found some amazing rocks. I cleaned them, did the vinegar check, etc., but now I am questioning whether I should be afraid of the bottom of my tank falling through or...

    Male guppy with bloated belly.

    I noticed yesterday that one of my male guppies in my 10gal has a bloated belly. He isn't hanging out with his friends or trying to charm the ladies and seems to only be swimming at the top of the tank, just hanging out at the back. He seems to be swimming at a slight angle with his head below...

    Hello from Vancouver Island!

    Hello everyone, my name is Kayla. It's nice to meet you all! I started off with a .5 gallon betta "bowl" and then discovered /r/bettafish and had to get my little buddy a better home. He got upgraded to a 10 gallon tank and then I discovered /r/plantedtank. I realized I was way too interested...

    Substrate and lighting question

    Hello, I recently bought a 29gal aquarium (30lx12dx18h) and am trying to decide which direction I want to take with the substrate. The walstad method seems to be the cheapest way to go (I've already got organic miracle grow and the old gravel the tank had in it), but I'm also considering...
