I have an Oscar I've had for 4 years, he's about 10 inches in a 55 gallon tank. Until today he shared the tank with a Jack Dempsey that I'd had for almost as long, but the Jack developed dropsy and unfortunatly died today (I'm a bit heartbroken about that actually). The Oscar is doing fine...

One of my angels has suddenly developed a wierd behavior. It won't come out while the light is on. It stays in the castle. It looks normal, no fin rot, no fungus. It's eating, it just seems light sensitive. Tank: 60 gal Tankmates: 1 angel (same size, disc approx 3 inches), 1 pleco...

We just moved to Alabama, where the Ph from my tap is about 7.8. I was used to perfect 7.0 water, and now I'm having the devil to pay to try to get my Ph to stay at 7.2 or lower. Any advice on products that will buffer my water, I've used several with no luck whatsoever.

I have a live bearer tank that I started a while ago. I had a male and 2 female fancy guppies, and a male and female velet swordtail pair. After about 2 weeks, I was looking at the tank and saw a small yellow fish swimming around. I got excited because I figured my guppies had bred and one of...

My 60 gallon community tank has developed a hazy, cloudy appearance to it. I have no idea what is happening. I did a 20 gallon PWC on Thursday, and a 15 gallon PWC this morning, and the cloudyness is already back. The particulars: Ammonia: about 1 ppm (which is another thing that's driving...

I recently moved my tetra community from a 20 gallon to a 60 gallon to which I plan on adding Discus. I don't know what I'm going to do with the 20 for now, although the wife wants to try marine (that's a topic for another thread). For now, I'm happy leaving the 20 as a quarantine tank as it is...

I'm Diver, or Matt, if you want to be formal. I've been an aquarist now for just over a year when I was given an Oscar, a Pleco, and 2 white skirt Tetras in a 1 gallon tank. Since then, well, the oscar ate the tetras, but not before I got hooked. I put them in a 20 gallon immediatly. The oscar...
