Good morning everyone! One of my corydoras Julii is suffering from something growing on his fins and I have no idea what is wrong :( He wasn't really moving last night, but he's a cory, and they do that sometimes, so I didn't think too much of it. This morning I found him in the same spot and...

Evening, all. I have a question in regards to reintroducing nerite snails after losing a fish to velvet. In early to mid May, I lost my betta fish to velvet. :( He had two nerite snails in his tank with him, and as I understand it, they cannot get velvet, but they can transmit it. As such, I...

Hi everyone. I have 6 harlequin rasboras in a 20g tank (they are in with 5 corys and 2 otos), and I have noticed over the last couple of days some of them look really fat and bloated. One of them is REALLY bloated and swims sort of..off kilter? It's still active and darts around with the...

**Edit: After remeasuring the piece I want to put the tank on, it is one inch too thin for a 40 standard and 2 inches too short for a 40 long..Talk about crap! Would this same scenario work for a 35-38g?** Good evening, everyone! :) Just as the title says, I am looking to merge my two 20g tanks...

Hi, I am relatively new to the forum (mostly I just read), and I am definitely new to fish diseases =\ Especially velvet. I think he is a goner, but if I can save him I really want to, I am attached to the little guy. If I can't, I don't know what to do with the tank since I have snails living...

Hi everyone! I am relatively new to this whole aquarium thing (and mostly spend my time lurking). Up until now I've just had two five gallon betta tanks, and a 2.5 gallon ghost shrimp tank. Recently, I set up and cycled a 20 gallon long because my mystery snail has gotten pretty large and I want...

Good afternoon, all. I was finally able to stock my tank (yay!) after two months of cycling, and I got a betta. My tank is a 5 gal fluval spec v, and I have noticed that my betta deliberately rests against the filter intake valve. At first, I thought he was getting stuck to it/sucked in, so I...

Good evening everyone! I have had a tank set up since June 16th, and I haven't really gotten any progress on cycling. I am not sure why. It's a 5 gallon Fluval Spec V. I didn't know much of anything when I set it up, so I planted it. There are 3 amazon sword, 4 water sprite, 3 anubias, and a...

Good morning, everyone! I am totally new to planted tanks, and I have a Fluval Spec V straight out of the box that I am cycling (I have since learned that cycling with plants is bad juju, but..they're in there already, so okay), and I was wondering about the light that comes stock. I have been...

Good morning everyone! I am completely new to the forums (I have been lurking for a while, reading a lot of posts - I am using the (almost) complete guide to cycling your tank for my new tank), and I need some help. I have not had a fish tank since I was around 14 (I am 26 now), and back then I...

Good morning, everyone! Just stopping here to say hi, I'm completely new to fish tanks (well...doing them right. I had one when I was a tween more than a decade ago, but I didn't know anything back then), and I want to make sure I get it right this time for the happiest/healthiest fish I can...
