Oh! Yes, it looks like a nest or mold. It's on the glass. It was slimy when I took it off. I was afraid it would hurt my fish so I removed it. They are apple snails in my tank.

Any idea what that white growth is?

So I made the mistake of ordering from liveaquariablue.com. They sent me the wrong variety of platys (sunburst instead of painted) which are mostly male and a gromai that died with a fungal infection the next day. The platys are healthy and vibrant, but still, I will not be ordering from them...

How often can one use prime? Do you agree that tetra fungus guard will work and not kill anything I have in my tank?

I have a 50 gallon planted tank housing Pleco, mollies, platies, tetra, gourmais, guppies, snail, & shrimp. The mollies and some platies have developed little white spots on their tails. Parameters are normal. I've been cleaning gravel every 5-7 days with a 40% pwc. Any advice on treating them?

Are platys and guppies salt sensitive?

I acquired 4 Dalmatian mollies from petsmart three days ago and one of them isn't eating and appears to have lost weight. Any advice?

They said if he had a cave territory that he'd leave the other fish alone!

I am planning on adding a blue lobster and some shrimp to my aquarium next week. What does everyone feed their little guys?

The fish deaths stopped. I think I just bought them from a not so great store. I won't be going back. The fuzzy film appeared postmortem. I did a 60% water change with the gravel filter tool. Fish seem to be happy and healthy. Thanks for the replies!

That could be a mini cycle but I thought that the nitrate levels are ok as long as they are under 20. I didn't think platies and guppies would be that sensitive to fluctuation.

The parameters are good: pH 7.6, ammonia .25, nitrite 0, nitrate 5. No visible algae water is treated with prime after water changes. Could it be stress from being shipped? I just got these fish two days ago.

Dangling fish poo

Grody What do I do about it to keep it from getting my other guys?

I have had a couple live bearers die since yesterday and they are getting this weird opaque fuzzy film around them. What is that?

Is there a way to naturally balance pH in a freshwater tank? Mine has been running a bit high since adding fish.

What brand do you get? Is it true that quality effects color?

I am wondering what everyone uses to feed platys. Can I get the flakes from Walmart and expect my platies and guppys to thrive? Do you buy food mixes that people have concocted at home to sell?

And it is a planted tank and I did have material from another tank...it was a sponge bob house.

Wow..I just wanted everyone to be happy for me. I have been using the API test kit, and dosing ammonia to 3ppm which have been going down within about 8-10 hours. The ammonia and nitrites have been at 0 in the morning three days in a row and yesterday I did a 60% water change and since the...

I'M READY FOR FISH!!!! Woot :D Thanks for the help everyone!

How are the peel and stick backgrounds? I just want a black bg for my tank... Also, does anyone know if there are Cthulhu decos?

My nitrates have been at about 10ppm for three days with nitrites off the chart and having to add ammonia every 8ish hours because its dropping so quickly. Should I try a pwc to see if that gets the nitrates up or am I being impatient?
