I've had my prized Superval Angel for a couple years now. I raised if from a quarter sized baby. Yesterday I noticed a little red around his mouth. Today it seems worse and extended, as if he has something in there (but doesn't). It's a 55 gallon (with UV sterilizer) and my water parameters are...

How long can it survive in a sealed plastic bag? My brother is in the process of building a tank, but it won't be done for about two more weeks. He will be using the same filter I have. So we've planned that I will give him my old filter media to help cycle his tank. Here's the current...

My brother set up a 40 gallon breeder aquarium for the first time. I've supplied him with plenty of filter media and everything seems to be going well. He has gravel substrate. I'm not new to this site or aquariums, but I tend to deal with more exotic fish. I have a couple questions. He is...

So a month or so ago, I introduced a female GBR to my male, in my community tank. They argued for about 5 minutes and the hit it off great. Constantly stayed together, the male would attempt to run all other fish off from her, etc etc. I didn't necessarily want them to breed, I just wanted to...

I recently had to rehome one of my large Angels, due to maturing aggression issue, and about 4 months ago I lost one of my German blue Rams. SO, now I am looking to add another fish, but I really want something colorful. I have a 55 gallon: Planted Water peramaters are stable Temp is 79f Ph 7...

As a Christmas bonus for work, my family (husband and daughter) are being sent to Disney in January. It's going to be hard enough to find someone to feed our dogs and let them in and out, and even harder to get someone to properly care for my fish? I can get a timed fish feeder for two of my...

I have a 55 gallon planted tank (no driftwood) with ropefish, SAE, and angelfish. It's been set up (with these fish) for nearly two years. I do a 25% water change weekly and everything has been fine. A few days ago, I thought something seemed off, nothing in particular made me think that, but I...

So, today, I happened to be in a distant town that has a well known and admired lfs which I have always wanted to visit. I'm very glad I did. I've had two supervail Angels since they were babies, the size of quarters. I bought them out of an assorted angel tank at Petco for about $3.50 each...

I am planning to put a few cherry shrimp in a 5 gallon tank I use for guppy fry. I have gravel substrate, the tank temp is at 78 degrees, with average water parameters on a slightly hard side. I plan to feed a high calcium diet as I do with my crawfish in my 20 gallon. Any recommendations?

I have a 5 gallon tank I use for guppy fry. I currently have a Pygmy Cory in there to keep the bottom clean. This tank is "my daughters tank" and she enjoys "taking care of the babies" lol. I'm sure you realize I do all the work lol. She loves crawfish and I realize she can't have a crawfish...

I have two supervail angelfish that I have had since they were the size of quarters. They are now larger than my hand, but I have no idea of their gender. 1st angel 2nd angel

Whats your opinion? Who has them? I recently purchased one for my 55 gallon, after a lovely algae bloom due to a phosphate fluctuation in tap water. I've had it a week and so far I am in love. I was told to be cautious that it could destroy the good bacteria in my tank. So I've been testing...

I have no idea what I'm doing, or what I've gotten myself into lol. I recently bought 5 female guppies to add some color to the top of my daughters 29 gallon (she's eight years old, so I maintain the tank). They were apparently pregnant when I bought them. I've never had guppies before. I have...

So last week I scraped and scrubbed nearly all the algae in my planted aquarium. (It wasn't really bad or anything though, since my Siamese Algae Eaters do a marvelous job.) I was planning to do a vacuum and water change immediately after, but things came up. So the following day, I vacuumed...

Scientific name: Erpetoichthys calabaricus Also known as: Reedfish I do not consider myself an expert on Ropefish; however, I do have quite a bit of experience keeping and caring for them. My love of the Ropefish started a few years ago and deepens daily. My local lfs (live fish store) has...

I found my female German Blue Ram dead this morning. There were no signs of trauma, although her belly was slightly larger than usual. I bought her as a small baby just over a year ago, at the same time as my male. They never bread, but got along fine. (I did not have intentions of breeding...

It's a 29 gallon tank. I don't consider myself a crayfish expert, although I've managed to do fairly well so far. I currently have a female cobalt blue crayfish that I absolutely adore, and she is by far my daughters favorite in the aquarium. I definitely don't want anything to happen to Ms...

Petco is about to have the $1 a gallon sale, so I am upgrading my 20 gallon long to a 29 gallon (since it will fit on the current stand, my filter is meant for a 30gal, and top and lights fit as well). Issue is, that I want the new aquarium to go where the current aquarium is. I plan to use the...

I'm pretty sure the mostly white one is male because of the notch/bump on the forehead. I think the black and white one may be make as well, but not sure. They are currently the size of my palm (or hand if considering finage). My real concern is not breeding them, but rather if they will...

I'm just curious who all has ropefish or "reedfish"? If you do have ropesfish: How many do you have? What size are they? How long have you had them? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I need to know if the following fish are okay with a small amount of aquarium salt?? (Not brackish water, but rather a small dose to help reduce stress and disease.) African Butterfly Fish? German blue rams? Siamese algae eaters? Angelfish? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

In my large show tank, I just noticed a "newer" fish has white all around its mouth. It's a black Molly so it's quite noticeable. I'm pretty sure it's Columnarius (cotton wool disease), but I have never had to deal with this particular fish disease before. So I NEED HELP and advice. I'm...

I've had these two angels for a year or so (bought them as tiny quarter sized babies). I'm not trying to breed them, but one gets picked on occasionally and I wonder if it's just "courting" or "flirting" • mostly white one ~ I'm pretty sure this is a male because of the dip and bump on the...

I need a fish to help with my algae, I'm hesitant on a pleco because of the waste they produce. However, due to the size of my current stock, I need a fish that's 2.5+ inches. Also, it it's be a peaceful/community fish. It doesn't really need to clean up extra food, just algae, because...
