Hello, I am back to discuss angelfish again. My angel (whom i have assumed is female), has several raw redish scales along the top of her back. I was wondering what could be the cause of this. She is not scratching against objects, but from what i have researched, she has been trying to "pair...

Hello, i purchased five cherry barbs about 3-4 months ago for my 30 gallon tank. One of them has always appeared "rounder" than the others i guess you could say, but here recently i noticed she seemed noticibly larger on one side in particular. The lump also has a small gray dot towards the...

Hello, i know cherry barbs are supposed to turn bright red when they are looking for a mate, but mine have yet to do so and i was wondering what could be the cause of that. I have two angelfish that have been lip-locking for quite some time (they appear to be fighting often but i believe they...

Hello, I am having some problems with two of my angelfish "lip locking" and chasing each other around the tank. I cannot determine if they are fighting, or expressing a mating ritual. They are a little smaller than my palm in size, and I have had them both since they where the size of a...

Hello, I am currently looking for some advice on tank stockings. The first tank is a 30 gallon with a Aquaclear 70 filter system. The substrate is sand, although I am slowly trying to change it to a rock/glass pebble substrate that will not injure my cories. The tank has about 7 different...

Hello, I went to look at my betta tank today and realized there where tiny white organisms on the glass just above the waterline. Ill try to get a picture but they may be too small. I have not done a water change lately as I just recently moved to college and left my cleaning supplies at home so...

Hello! I'm looking for some sticking suggestions for a 13 gallon aquarium. It is about the height of a 20 and the width of a 10. Now this is where things get hairy, it is going in my dorm room and college, and the fish need to be species easy for me to move back home three hours away in the...

I have two angelfish. I bought them hoping they would both either be male, or female to limit fighting between them. I bought them both when they where quarter size also so they would grow up together. There have been more disputes between them lately and I'm starting to think I have a male and...

I found a panda cory at the fish store today. He was the last one they had for sale and I bought him because he looked quite odd. I know this is a panda cory, but I was wondering if it was some weird panda hybrid, another variation of the breed, or what. I've never seen a cory look like this...

My black striped angel fish is slowly beginning to have tiny white spots appear on his body and I cannot decide it it is a parasite, disease, or injury. They have been appearing slowly for a couple months now and I never really thought about it because none of the other fish have them and the...

My angelfish has has these weird spot like things come up that are sort of black in the middle and ringed with a VERY thin layer of white. I can't decide if they are markings, bubbles, loose scales (if that's even a thing), or a disease of some sort. Any input would be nice. 30 gallon aquarium...

Hello, my filter has been up and running for several moths now, I pulled it out of the tank today to clean it better and I am having a hard time getting it to start. I bought it used so I don't have a manual. How long should it take to start on average? It's been sitting still for about 2 hours...

I believe I may have an early form of ich in my tank. All I see at the moment is one small white dot on my angel fish. None of the others are showing any signs at all yet. No one in the tank is rubbing against anything and they all have an appetite. In the tank I also have kuhli loaches, cory...

These eggs where in my tank and I was wondering if anyone could tell me who they belong to? I recently purchased some nerite snails, I also have leapord cories, kuhli loaches, an angelfish, Platys, and some tetras. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I got three kuhli loaches the other day. I have never had them before and everyone was out swimming in the tank great the first day. They weren't shy at all. The second day I looked and only saw one. I found the other had gotten stuck in the filer intake, and another is still MIA but I know...

Hello everyone! I am looking to purchase between 3-5 freshwater Nerite snails for my aquarium. Please PM or post pictures of the individuals and your price + shipping. I live in Texas Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I bought an Oto for my 30 gallon tank 3 days ago and have yet to see him since. Is that normal for Otos or should I start a search party? I know they prefer groups, but I was going to add more later. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I believe my Betta has fin rot and I was wondering if you'll agree and how I should medicate it. I have heard a lot of medications bother bettas, so I want to avoid those. Here are some pictures of him now. He is in a 5 gallon tank with a heater and filter. I have had him for about 2-3...

I have a 30 gallon tank cycled and ready for stock. I have already added 3 Micky mouse Platys and 2 cories. I will have the opportunity to go by an amazing fish store later this week and was wondering how many fish I can get to add? They are an hour away. I am wanting to get 3 sparkling...

Hello, I know it's important to have oxygen added in the tank, but my filter creates a ton of bubbles when it hits the water, do I really need a bubbler also? My tank is a 30 gallon, the filter is an aquaclear 70. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

This has appeared near the filter in my 5 gallon Betta tank and I was wondering if it was a bubble nest or something wrong with the filter. The filter has a really slow filter output. It seemed to appear after I put a capatta leaf in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

How long will it take for my driftwood to stop turning the water brown? It's already been in the tank for a month. I boiled 2 or the pieces for about 2 hours before putting them in the tank, but the one releasing tannins now was to big to boil so I just put it in knowing it would effect the...

I really dont know what to name this thread because I have multiple subjects I want to discuss which is also why I am going to go ahead and put it under general discussion, plus the main topic of my other thread was my cory who is no longer around so the focus of the conversation has shifted to...

I got this guy around 3 weeks ago. Ever since I let him out of the bag he was much less playful than my others. I thought at first he was just really stressed (it was an hour drive home from the fish store), now he still seems really off and barely moves. He also looks like he may have some...

Out of curiosity, how do you'll go about cleaning the tanks with a planted carpet? You don't use the vacuum I'm guessing, so do you only do water changes? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
