    Endler lying on the bottom, breathing fast

    I have a female Endler that is lying on the bottom of the tank. Her mouth and gills are moving very fast. My first thought was ammonia or nitrite problem (esp. since I moved this tank two weeks ago). But ammonia and nitrite are at 0. Ammonia might be slightly above 0, but since there are low...

    Male or female bristlenose?

    I am trying to sex my bristle nose because I am considering putting them in the same tank. I think they are both females because they don't have many bristles. Not sure if you can tell from the photos or not. They like to hide and are hard to shoot. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Aquarium Advice...

    Alternative hose connection than faucet

    I am getting ready to move my aquariums from my office to my house but I can't find a faucet in my house where I can connect a hose. Kitchen is out. And both bathrooms have a faucet where there's nothing to unscrew. I attached a pic. I rent so I don't really want to replace the faucet but I'm...

    Fish caught in the gravel cleaner

    I was cleaning my tank and realized I forgot to unplug the filter. I set my hose down for a second and my oranda got sucked up. It took me a minute to get him out because he was wedged (it is not a big hose). He looks fine, a little wen damage, but should I be concerned with internal damage...

    What "human" foods to you give to your fish?

    I love supplementing my fishs' diets but I rarely see any suggestions so I thought I would start a thread about it. When I say "human" I mean things not designed for fish. Also, how do you prepare it for your tank? I give my plecos raw cucumbers and squash. I know some blanch it, but mine seem...

    Angelfish don't like each other - need advice

    I adopted a 1 - eyed platinum angelfish and got another platinum to be his buddy. They were alone in a 29 gallon. On Monday he had health issues and I had to remove him from the tank. I felt bad for his friend all alone so I decided to get him another angelfish as a friend. Long story short, I...

    1 - eyed angel fish spinning

    I recently adopted a 1 - eyed angelfish. Tonight I found him spinning in circles and the other eye seems to be pertruding. Checked water and ammonia, ph, nitrite and nitrate levels were fine. Other angelfish in tank is fine. I'm at a loss. I isolated him in a bucket with Epson salt water but I...

    One eyed angelfish

    I recently adopted an one-eyed angelfish from my LFS. It appears that he was born without and not because there's no injury. He had been in this store for a month and is perfectly healthy other than missing an eye. He eats, gets around, etc. I have him and a smaller sibling in a 29 gallon tank...

    Dark worms in substrate?

    When I cleaned my tank yesterday I discovered dark worms in my substrate. They are very thin and only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. The tank is planted and has about an inch of substrate on bottom. I have 2 other tanks but only noticed in this one, maybe because the rocks are larger. Anyone...

    Need advice on high nitrites and anchor worms

    Okay this is a long post. I have a 60 gallon tank that has been set up for over a year. It had 4 fancy goldfish and 2 large plecos. Little over loaded I know (everything grew faster and larger than anticipated) but I had two filters and I cleaned the tank every week and tested the water. Never...
