I have a problem with some new fish that are in quarantine right now. My QT tank is a cycled 30 gallon and has been running a long time (0 am,0 nitrite, 20ish nitrate, 7.4ph )It seems they've got some kind of worm (I think a type of unsegmented parasitic flatworm) ....but I can't seem to find...

Finally got the beast set up! Everything is in so far (finishing planting is a work in progress)- co2 set up tomorrow and the first pwc. The scape is just a little flat for me....kinda....straight?? What would you do? Side note- this is my first venture into pressurized! So I'm kinda nervous...

I just need some opinions....I have this talk hex tank....6x 9" panels and 2 feet tall (about 25 gallons).... I could do a planted shrimp tank with some tiny ember tetra (or something) .....or maybe some kind of small reef? (I've never done saltwater though so it would be totally new to me....)...

So I have a few fish from time to time get sick by wasting away. They appear to eat, but sometimes they spit out their food. I've been thinking they might have internal hexamita, because recently I've seen some whitish poo coming from one or two fish, on and off. I've just purchased some...

So I have had this gold Barb for a few years now (lifespan online ranges from 3-7 depending on what you read!!) Nothing new has been added to the tank, but I did move them out of one tank because I thought they were killing my angels, and then a couple months later back to the original tank when...

I posted this question in another part of the forum- but who had done a tank reseal on a large aquarium? 240 gallons large....the seals look rough and there is silicone over silicone in here. The previous owner also had it filled, but then let it sit empty for many months until now. I am not...

Ok guys I know there is a sticky on this topic, but the tank I need to reseal is 240 gallons. Attached is a pic of what the seals look like now. And this tank has been empty a number of months now according to the previous owner. They said it holds water but I haven't tested the whole thing yet...

Can't tell- male or female?? I know the pink belly is obviously female (but would you believe that the lfs employee said it was male because males are more colorful?! Haha) anyways....the one on the left could go either way for me. No pink belly, but what could be blue shiny specks inside the...

Looking for a plant packages that I can grow in medium to medium/high light....on a budget!! A mix of tall and short plants are a plus ;) I do run diy co2, and one tank has high lighting....the other two more medium light Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a male/female pair of kribs in a 125 gallon community. My female was very plump, with a bright pink belly when I got her, but now not so much...I've had the same pair for months and she just lost that punk color over time (there's still a hinnnnt of pink but not much.) So my question...

A couple of people on a local group are trying to scare me out of adding fish to a tank with co2. The drop checker (the plastic Fluval kind) is reading yellow, but it reads yellow on another tank too and the fish are fine. They don't have a problem with the color, but say that I should remove...

Hello all! I'm looking for some alternanthera reineckii plants...preferably whole, rooted plants, but larger trimmings are ok too!! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok short story for this...I purchased a pair of what were called double red apistos today. My husband picked them up for me, and I was told he got a male and female. I'm unsure. What do you think??! The top one is for sure male. Idk about the bottom. It's dorsal fin does come to a taller point...

My 40b tank is kind of a hot mess right now, and I'm getting frustrated finding the right balance in this tank. 30" beamswork pent LED, diy CO2, just started dosing PPS Pro method this week (dry fert mix). Honestly I hadn't been very religious about dosing before (using flourish comp) so I...

So I have a trio of female black mollies and every so often over the course of the last few months I've had them, sometimes their skin turns whitish in patches for a few days and then goes away. At first I thought it was Ich because this happened for the first time after I had them a day or two...

I'm looking to purchase a used Finnex Ray 2. Let me know if you have anything 30" or greater! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Has anyone used "Raw Nutrients" in their aquariums? Here is the site and a picture of the backs of the labels. I like GLA products, but the shipping costs more than the actual product. So where do they get their ferts anyway? The local hydroponics store has this, and I can always call more...

I have some plants that I would like to move from one aquarium to the other. However, the tank I'd like to move them from has had a couple of unexplained black Mollie deaths, so I'm thinking disinfecting the plants will be a must. I've read about potassium permanganate a little, but will it...

I recently upgraded from a 90 gallon to a 125 gallon planted tank (love it!!!) I have three pictus catfish in there, and some rainbowfish, skirt tetra, roseline barbs...anyways I would really REALLY love a school of rummy nose tetra - maybe like 15 of them or more (I might move the skirt tetras...

Hey guys....I am thinking of buying a used 180 gallon tank from a person locally, but the tank looks a little different than I'm used to. I have only seen a picture this far (I'll check it out in person before committing!) but it has what I believe is "euro bracing" because the trim looks very...

My roseline barbs (aka denison barbs) seem to have a case of fin rot. After what seems like an eternity of treating columnaris in one of my 90 gallon displays, I fear it has come back :( How do I know if their fins are rotting just because they are new, as opposed to them somehow having been...

I am so irritated ? I drove an hour to pick up Denisons Barbs from a guy on a local forum. I got pictures and water parameters, size etc and all was good. Well I show up, and these guys are tiny and their skin is peeling!I realize I could have just not taken them, but I had already driven a long...

Well, a few weeks ago I was battling ich, and I've always treated with heat and salt. This time was no exception, except that this time raising the heat started a bout of really bad columnaris. I treated with triple sulfa for 5 days, lowered the temp, and contained the disease. Now the ich is...

Quick question... How long does the BB live on a filter pad when stored in a bucket of tank water? It was from a water change so there is some fish waste and plant matter in there too. It was a week ago and I INTENDED on using the pad to start a QT and never got around to it until today...can I...

So I'll start by saying I've recently been battling columnaris in one if my large display tanks, and this is a separate tank with different issues (in case you've responded to another thread!) My OTHER large display, a 90 gallon is doing just fine, except that from time to time over the course...
