*Short version*: Just moved to a new state and took my fish with me (South American cichlids). I need help to find a product to filter my new tap water to remove nitrates. My tap has 20ppm nitrates to start with and I really would like to get it as close to zero as possible. Not interested in...

Hi, So I just bought a "Synspilum" cichlid and I am having a bit of a hard time finding info on it. It is still a juvenile, but the guy at my lfs told me that it will grow up to look like this (attached photo). I am having issues finding it's full name because Synspilum seems to be a general...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this tank? I was looking around online and saw this and it sounds incredibly cool! I am a biology major in college and I love everything living! I have done a decent amount of research on the topic, but still want to know...

Hey everyone, so I have had a female blue ram for about 2 month now and she is the queen of my tank. I just bought a male for her today and I am a little worried about him. He seems quite healthy (He is eating, is curious, and is picking at things all around the tank) but his color is cruddy...

Hi, so I am guessing these are mystery snail eggs??? Went to do a water change and there they were in the underside of my hood! They are so large and there are so many!! What do I do with them? I don't really want to kill them... But the tank is only 10 gal and that is a lot if snails!!! Anyone...

Hey everyone! So I just discovered some eggs in my tank attached to my driftwood. I honestly have no clue who's they are. In the tank I have 2 German blue rams (I doubt it is theirs because I literally just added the second one a couple if hours ago and they are not getting along well yet), 3...

Hey everyone, so here is the deal, I am having an algae bloom (green water and a light green coating on the sides of the tank) in my 10 gal. It is not horrible (I can still clearly see everything in the tank), but it is definitely a bit green and cloudy. A few days ago I accidentally poured too...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make sure I was sexing my german blue ram correctly because I am planning on getting another one cause I want a pair. She (?) was the only one at my LFS when I got her. I believe she is female because she has a pink belly, black on her ventral fins (the ones...

I am putting this here because I could not figure out where else to put it. ok, so long story short, I believe that I have fungus in my tap water due to insistent outbreaks in mine, my roomates, and other people-who-live-in-my-building's tanks. We all use various water conditioners (I use...

Ok, so here is the story, I have a 10 gallon tanks with (well it had) 2 american flag fish (male/female pair), 4 neons, and 2 german blue rams (male/female pair). It is also planted with java fern, what I believe to be a micro sword (bought it at LFS as "aquarium grass"), moneywot, and an...

So, I was considering moving my rope fish (he is a little less than a foot long) from my 42 gal tall into my 55 gal long because he has outgrown the 42. When I bought him about 2 years ago, he had plenty of room to swim in the 42, but now he is stuck just going up and down instead of swimming...

Ok, so, I have been doing research about getting a new heater for my tank that is adjustable. Currently I have a tetra automatic heater, which is set to 78'F at all times. I have these heaters in all but 1 of my tanks (obviously all different wattages) (one I have no clue what it is because I...

Hi everyone, I am a college student and unfortunately had to leave some of my fish at home as I can only have up to a 10 gal tank at school, which means, that the fish at home had to be cared for by my parents. The other day I came home for summer, and when I got home, I did my rounds to...

Hi everyone, So, I just bought a candy cane (HY511) tetra yesterday from my LFS for my 10 gal tank, and today as I was looking around and just enjoying my tank, I saw a couple white dots on him. I immediately moved him to my quarantine tank (a tiny circular 2 gal that I used to have a betta...
