    Bump on Balloon Ram's head

    Hey everyone! So yesterday i noticed this huge red bump on my Balloon Ram's head/nose. To me it looks like he ran into this rock that its really close to his hideout spot in the tank. I would just feel a lot better with a few other opinions. I have a well established 55g tank, well planted. Its...

    Angel Nipping at Pleco

    I'm having the same problems in my 55g!

I have 4 Bolivians, 7 rasboras, two angels and the pleco. I really need his expert cleaning...

    Just been informed that stressed out Bolivian rams tend to darken in color so obviously this little one is not too happy /:

    Sick ram advice?

    I got four Bolivian rams yesterday and one isn't doing so well. The others are great but even in my lfs this one was looking a little off. What should I do? Should I bring it back and get a different one or should I see if it will pull through? It kind of jerks or sways forward and back when it...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    I jut got back from a trip to Tennessee and close to my hotel was this creek with some cool rocks so I took some and made a few caves with them in my 55gal. I think it looks neat but I might rearrange it to where I can see into the other cave a bit more.

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Hey everybody! I'm pretty excited because I've been cycling my new 55g tank for about a week now and today we added two of our mollies in there to speed up the process a little. They can't enough of the swimming room! I know it looks rough now but it's going to come together so nice when we...

    My fish are hiding?

    They're moving around a bit more now that my nitrate level went down to 20ppm but they're still not as active as usual so I'm going to test my water temp an get a heather cause I'm thinking its a bit cold in there

    My fish are hiding?

    You think so? That would make sense because my nitrate and getting lower and lower and my ammonia is at 0 so it can't be that. I'll get a new heater and see. thank you!

    Rescue betta needs a name!

    If you haven't named him yet, Iridescent is a good one for him!

    My fish are hiding?

    They all hang out together actually. The molly and platys swim to the top a lot more but when they are together there's no chasing or anything. They all like each other hah. And I might try that. I had some water lilly in there but it was growing so much so fast my other plants weren't getting...

My spouse really wants a...

    My fish are hiding?

    I did another water change and they're actually moving some! I think it was just nitrate shock or something. I'm still at around 30ppms but it came down from 40ppms and they can feel it hah . I'm gonna do another water change tomorrow and get a tank thermometer.

    My fish are hiding?

    My nitrate was very high, at like 40. Then I did a water change but it only went down to about 30 . I did one this morning and am waiting for everything settle so I can test it again. But each change had no affect on their behavior. Even my platys which are normally closer to the top of the tank...
