Hi all, My parents recently moved into a new house and inherited a claw-foot tub full of goldfish. They have no experience keeping outdoor fish and neither do I, though I’m pretty experienced with indoor freshwater fish so I’m trying to help them...by asking for help [emoji846] I’ve included...

Hello, I am fairly new to running co2 in my tank, I've been doing it for about 6 months. About 2 months ago I got a new co2 tank because my first was empty (I want to have 2 so I can refill one while the other is running). I just moved the regulator onto the new tank per the instructions and...

I've had my current light fixture for way too long and I'm looking to replace it. I have a 29 gallon tank, 30x12x18", with a 24" dual lamp T5 HO Aquatic Life light. I think it's been discontinued because I can't buy it anywhere...here's a link to it on Amazon...

I went to the fish store last week and fell in love with some apistogramma macmasteri. They called them rednecks and sold them in pairs. I googled them and I couldn't find any definitive answer about what tank size they require so I asked the manager if I could have a pair in a 25 gallon tank...

Hi guys, A few days ago I found one of my 6 rasboras dead. It was totally out of the blue - none of the rasboras were acting weird or looked sick and the water parameters were fine (0 ammonia/nitrites, low nitrates). I did a big water change and just decided to keep an eye on the tank...

Today I noticed a white spot on my clown pleco underneath its right eye. Is this ich? My parameters are normal (0 ammo & nitrites and 15 ppm nitrate) and no other fish have spots that I can see. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi guys, I'm finally off my German Blue Ram kick and am looking for a new centerpiece fish for my 25 gal planted tank. I've considered Gouramis but they're a little boring lol....I have natural sand substrate. Any ideas? Stock: 5× kuhli loaches 6x neons 6x harlequin rasboras 1 clown...

Does anyone know what this is?? I recently switched the substrate in my tank from gravel to sand (there's still some gravel left) and now these spots appeared. I have root tabs in the sand, is that what this is? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just changed my substrate from gravel to sand (actually just put 3 inches of sand on top of the little gravel I had) and I had a little mini-cycle but it seems to be fine now. Problem is, my male GBR now has a white fungusy looking thing on his mouth. How do I know if it's columnaris or just...

So it appears that my largest snail has become a taxi for the smaller snails ? See my picture below. Is this harmless? The little one's not eating the bigger one right? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi guys. Last week I noticed my plants were all growing at the top of the water, none of them were rooted in the gravel. I used some of those flexible plant weights and tucked them into the gravel with some fresh root tabs...but a few days later, one plant came out of the weight and is now...

Hi guys, I randomly won a 10 Gallon aquarium at a raffle at a fish store so I'm thinking about moving my betta out of his 6 gal and into this new tank. I have 1 crypt lutea, 2 banana plants, and some kind of anubias...I think it's undulatus but im not sure. Anyway, I've only ever done gravel...

I have been looking at wavemakers online because I'd like to have better circulation in my tank and I think the fish would enjoy it but all of the pictures online are for saltwater tanks.....would a wavemaker be good in my freshwater tank? The tank is medium planted so I wouldn't want it to...

Hi guys, I have a male/female pair of German blue rams in a 25 gal. I've had them for about 6 months and they've always gotten along great. I recently had an issue with crazy high nitrates because I was overfeeding frozen food :/ so I cut down a lot on food and I'm down to 15 ppm. The...

Hi all, I just won a 10 gal aquarium with a hood light, fluorescent bulb, filter and all the essentials. Yay! Anyway, once I get it cycled I'm going to move over my (friendly) betta and 3 cherry shrimp. Any other stocking ideas? I've also got a lutea, an anubias minimus, and some kind of...

I have posted a lot lately about my GBR saga, but basically I have a female who I've had for a year and and male that I got about 3 weeks ago. When I first got the male I noticed both rams flashing a little so I did a half dose of Ich medicine and a small salt treatment...trying to nip whatever...

My betta is hanging completely vertical at the top of the water....why is this? The pH was really low in the tank so I recently added some crushed coral and it raised the pH to about 6.8 so maybe that shocked him and made him sick? Idk but he looks really unhappy. What can I do? Params...

I have one male GBR right now (I had two originally but one got sick) and he has been solo for a while. I want to get another male to make a pair but I want to avoid fighting between the two. Any special advice on introducing a new GBR to a tank with an older one? 25 gal Stock: 1x GBR...

A while back I picked up some water sprite at my lfs. Once I planted it I noticed I had picked up some small snails, one with a brown spiral shell and one with a lighter round shell. I left them alone since I don't know anything about snails. Since then, the snail population has exploded...

I have had 2 banana plants in my 6 gal betta tank for about a year. There is no light except the natural sunlight in my apartment and I add Flourish comprehensive every week w/water changes. I was changing the water today and the bananas (the root ball) had fallen off one of the plants...

One of my GBR's is sitting on the ground all day in the same spot for some reason...like just resting on his belly. Not laying on his side at all, and he still gets up to eat or chase away the other GBR. His color is good but his tail fin is a little torn up. No other fish in the tank...

I have a 25 gallon tank with super low ph (my bb died when I used an antibacterial medication). I have about half a cup of crushed coral, should I use all of it or some of it? Is there a general rule about how much to use?

Hi All, I just finished treating my tank for fin rot because my GBRs that had it. I did a full dose of Furan-2 in my community tank because I don't have a quarantine tank. As I was in the 3rd day of treatment, I noticed one of my kuhli's had some fuzzy looking patches on his skin, looked a...

I'll try to get a video of this later because it is so funny, but I just wanted to share a story about my fish. I have two male GBR's in my 25gal and every time I vacuum the gravel in my tank they start attacking the vacuum! It's only in one area of the tank that they hang out in a lot...

My Kuhli loaches keep swimming up and down and back and fourth in my 25 gallon tank. I just did a water change before they started doing this. The temp is 80 and I have medium sized gravel on one side of the tank and smaller gravel on the other side. Plenty of hiding places and live plants...
