I do have a heater, but I will have to see if it is adjustable or not. I haven't thought to check that before now :) We will give that a try and hopefully we have caught it early enough. Thanks for all the help.

I tried to get a picture but it didn't turn out very well. But they do look like they have grains of white sand on them.The white spots are on their fins, body, and around their mouths. I also noticed that they were gasping this morning. What would be the best treatment to buy to help this?

I am new to the fish tank world and am in need of some help. I have a 39 gallon freshwater tank that was given to us. It has an Aqua - Tech 20-40/30-60 power filter, a bubble wand, and a bubble stone. I done a 40% water change last week and forgot to add the water treatment for about an hour. I...

Maybe this will help you...I found it while looking for some other info. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/members/absolutangel04-41295.html "Looks/sounds like ich. Usually, you can kill ich with just heat. 86-88 should kill it. Like wiggles said, keep the temp up for a week after the last...

Thanks! I will have to wait till my husband can help me do that.

I completed a 35% - 40% tank clean last Tuesday (5/14) and the water cleared up and was crystal clear until I treated for ammonia today. We tested the water & the pH was 7.4, nitrite was 0, nitrate was 0, and the ammonia was 4.0. I added 1 ammonia tablet & retested about an hour later & it was...

What would be the best way to put the sand in a tank that already has fish in it?

Well we should be good then. We have a really good flow from the filter, a barrel decorations with bubble stone (that is turned down on low), & a bubble wand in the back that we keep around low - medium flow (our daughter likes it the most). We will keep a look out for them going to the surface...

I was wondering if there is anything that shows how much air you need to keep in the tank for fish? Thanks

I just recently thought I lost a Silver tipped shark. Same situation....woke up one morning & he was just gone. We looked everywhere for him to no avail. I just found what was left of him yesterday when I done a tank clean. He had gotten stuck inside of the castle decoration & I couldn't see him...

@Zimmanski: I didn't think you were bashing. I am grateful for any & all info I can get to help us out. We didn't realize they would get that big when grown. We will see what happens cause we really don't want to get anymore until we can do alot more research & make sure we are doing the right...

@ Zimmanski: yes all of these are in the 36 gallon tank that is in my profile. We will eventually get a bigger tank when the time comes for any that outgrow our current tank. How many would you suggest for them to school properly & keep the nipping at bay?

I was wondering if anyone knows if Tiger Barbs, Black Skirt Tetras, Red Minor Tetras, and Mickey Mouse Platy are supposed to be aggressive? We have 5 all but the Mickey Mouse,we are down to 3 of those, along with 3 Peppered Cory Cats, 1 Pleco, and 2 Bala Sharks (and we just lost a Silver Tip...

Hello everyone! My husband and myself just recently was given a fish tank for our 2 year old daughters birthday. My husband has had a fish tank before but I have never had one. We both love being outdoors doing things, but we also love the new fish tank when we are inside. Our daughter loves it...

Thanks, we will check out the link you provided and do some more research. As for the amount of fish, Petsmart is where we got them & they said it would be ok since we had been running it for about 2 weeks.

We are new to having a fish tank. We were given a tank from a friend for our 2yr old daughter. We started out by cleaning everything (gravel, decorations, etc.) with Dawn dishwash. We then added the water & treated it with Start Right water conditioner. Then we ran the tank for about 2 weeks...
