    New Clownfish Question ?

    I agree with you, or an onyx. Someone else mentioned it looks like a true percula, could that be true? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Treating Hydra with Fenbendazole Question

    I have a pretty bad outbreak of hydra in my freshwater pipefish tank. I know it's not a threat to the adult fish but will be a threat to the fry if I ever get them to breed. Since Spixi snails are impossible to find for sale, and moving the fish to another tank is not possible, I'm going to...

    Help with Sick Zebra Pleco !!!

    I added 3 caps of stress guard, 4 tablespoons of aquarium salt, increased the oxygen on the power head, threw in an Indian almond leaf and spot fed the area with food and black worms. I don't think there's anything else I can do Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Help with Sick Zebra Pleco !!!

    Yea they're captive bred, I got them from a breeder. They'll be 2 years old in November & they are from wild caught parents. I've had my hands in the tank a lot moving stuff around and adding new decor so they have more territories. All 4 of them were originally in that one crack together, but...

    Help with Sick Zebra Pleco !!!

    The tanks been cycled for over 3 months, I've been siphoning out uneaten food every day. The food actually circulates the entire tank and whatever food does settle, settles directly in front of where this guy stays. So he can def access it. The temp stays between 84 & 85. The other 3 zebras...

    Microphis Deocata Indian Royal Green Pipefish came in today

    They'll be fine with shrimp, they'll eat the baby shrimp but they won't bother the adults besides trying to pick the eggs off of any berried females. Any fish that eats from the water Column or the surface will out compete the pipefish for food. The only tank mates that work with them would...

    Keeping Daphnia in Planted Tank as Self Sustaining Food Source?

    I read a lot of different posts online about them. And they all differ. People say no air stone because the small bubbles will kill them. Then some say keep a small sponge filter with them, they can pick food off of it, but make sure there are 10bps tops as smaller rapid bubbles will kill them...

    Keeping Daphnia in Planted Tank as Self Sustaining Food Source?

    I just got 4 Indian Royal green pipefish and they need constant live food. I saw a video on YouTube where the guy had his daphnia culture in the planted tank with the pipefish by the hundreds. I put my daphnia culture in the tank, it's perfect because the pipefish can only eat the small ones...

    Microphis Deocata Indian Royal Green Pipefish came in today

    I would love for them to breed with me! I ordered them from Wet Spot in Oregon 117$ for 4 of them! Check with them, they might have more! They told me they get them in once or twice a year because it all depends on what kind of season it is in India. I was 5th on the waiting list, luckily a...

    Fluval M60 Filtration - Skimmer - Sump

    I recently moved and wanted to upgrade my tank being as I had to break it down any way. I wanted to go big, but found a good deal on the Fluval M60, I got it for 375$. I've had it set up for about a month since I've moved, and I finally added the protein skimmer to it a few days ago. This is...

    worm identification? Baby feather duster?

    It does put out a crown, but I found out it's actually a peanut worm. I threw him into the overflow so he can clean up what gets sucked through and sit in the back of the tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Help with Dwarf Seahorse!!!

    Whenever my 2 4 week old dwarf seahorses take a dump, they twitch quite a bit, mini spasms, trying to push/squeeze it out. I'm feeding them newly hatched brine shrimp that I let soak in garlic guard for a few minutes 3-5 times a day. Is there anything I can do to help them with constipation...

    Can I use Reef lights on freshwater tank?

    I have 2 fluval reef leds on a tank I'm breaking down and instead of selling them and buying new lights I'm curious if I can just use them on the freshwater tanks I'm going to set up. The freshwater tanks will be for breeding guppies and plecos. I'm not gonna do any plants, just bare bottom...

    What the heck is this thing?! Invert

    I just ordered dwarf seahorses and they arrived today. I started acclimating them when I noticed something on the side of the bag that looked like an aptasia. Then one of the seahorses got close to it and it latched onto its face and now said seahorse is dead... I didn't realize they were...

    Random Crab in my tank???

    I moved last week and crushed my 1 emerald crab under live rock in the process. He was dead so I tossed him. Today I was looking at my tank and saw this small brown crab the size of a dime, that I didn't buy. Can anyone I.D. It? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
