I have a tank thats being taken over by BBA. How do I get rid of it? Ive tried removing it from the plants, but it grows back fast, ive cut back on fish food, and cut back on plant nutrients. I first combated it with SAE and they did a phenomenal job untill they ran out of food and started...

Im not sure but I think I have a male and female a Bolivian ram. I looked at the head shape to sex them. The female whom I've had for ever is extremely aggressive and territorial to other rams. She's killed 3gbr so far. If these two dont pair. I think I might get rid of her. Can you help me sex...

What is this. Started with one a day or two ago but it just got a ton more. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I bought five discus and now have three. When the other two passed, they would isolate themselves in the same corner and just stare in the back. They would stop eating, and in a week or two, die. Now the third is starting to do the same. He was perfectly happy this morning, he ate tons and was...

Which ones work? I want something that eats algea for sure. Will a bristlenose work? What do clown plecos eat? I really like the look of them. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I bought some flying foxes under the impression that they are great algea eaters. They graze on plants but I haven't seen many results. I heard they eat hair algae too. They haven't touched mine. Can anyone tell me more about these guys? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've had discus since October and have learned a lot. Unfortunately I have lost 2 of the original 5. I still have some questions. I have soft water but my ph is around 7.8. I bought a ph conditioner today and it should arrive Friday. Do you guys trust buffers? As for food. I feed them...

I've had my 75 discus since October and I'm tied of seeing it so empty. I want to go very heavy with plants. What would look good? What should I change that I have now? Please suggest different plants that would thrive in medium light with liquid fleets and a high temp. Sent from my SPH-L710...

I had a discus who could not see well and was picked on by the rest of the group. I just thought he hung around the bottom because if those problems. He died two weeks ago and now one of my bigger ones has the same symptoms. I took a look at his gills and they seem to be torn on the inside? Is...

Im sure we've all heard silly myths about fish and I wanted to post a thread to share them and maybe have people confirm/bust it. I've heard that anything red is invisible to fish or just a shape, not detailed. I think this is false because my cichlids can see my jewel cichlid. Sent from my...

My 55 African cichlid stock is awful. I have had the same stock for 7 months and they are maturing and not getting along. This is my stock, the ones with the asterisks are what I will replace. Green terror* Two yellow labs Yellow top mbamba hybrid Male auratus* Electric blue Johnnie*...

I am thinking about buying some maxi jets for three purposes. I saw a diy filter with a water bottle and filter floss. I want to be able to pump water from my bucket in the floor to the aquarium. And just to add flow to keep debris off the bottom. I have two tanks, a 55 mbuna. And a 75...

At a lfs that I go to get free ro water, I felt that I needed to make a purchase after taking over 100 gallons of ro over the past couple months. Looking to control both brown and green algea in my african tank. He dangled a 3" snowball pleco infront of me for $65. He did not know much about it...

What's the difference between the 36-48", and the 48-60". Will the second be brighter than the first? Will it not cover my 48" 55 gallon? Need to know asap. And the only difference between the regular and plus is the wired remote vs the wireless one. Thanks.

The store that sold me the pleco said they are aggressive and should do great with my african cichlids and not my discus. After doing research I'm not sure. Hes about the same size as my Africans and much smaller than my discus. What should I do?

Before I really got into the hobby, I only knew of the common pleco, now that I've seen lots of them, I really want to decide on one to get. If I got one though, it would have to be large and aggressive enough to live with African ciclids, or shy and calm enough to live with discus. I heard...

Like the title, I do this in my african tank to pick up poop and extra food once a month when I take out all the rocks to redo the aquascape. But my community is ecocomplete capped with pfs. So I don't want the two to mix. Why do you have to stir it anyway, I heard its because of gasses, but...
