I have Apistogrammas (triple red) who laid eggs and are now raising their young. Eggs just hatched a few hours ago. What I did was add duck-weed and Java moss to the tank. I understand the fry eat off of that for 3 days. Then I'm supposed to feed BBS (but nobody has that in my area), what...

I want to step into the co2 world, and I am thinking it would be cheaper to piece together these kits. I do want a solenoid because I would like to set the co2 up on a timer. But my question is, are any solenoids better than another? Do you recommend a solenoid/regulator combo? Or can I buy a...

I've heard a couple people say they thaw their frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp because they heard there might be metals or other things in it that's bad for the fish. What are your opinions? Do you drop the whole cube in the tank (frozen)? Sent from my SM-N900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I am looking for reputable Discus. I am in San Diego and I've heard all about Discus Hans and Jack Wattley. But those are in Baltimore and Florida. I understand the overnight shipping on those guys is $100 and up. I'm more searching of a reputable Discus location on the western US, possibly...

I am contemplating getting an RO system for my discus tank. I am burning about $30/month in RO water from the store. I found this $75 RO system on doctor fosters and smith and thought about buying it to make it much more easier for myself and less expensive to do water changes. The problem is...

I am starting up my discus tank and doing a ton of research and one thing that I read on a discus research site was that carbon is bad for discus. It promotes illness and other issues in them. Now, I am planning on a large piece of spider drift wood for the tank and want to prevent tannens...

Anyone successfully made an aquarium waterfall? I'm looking for sand and was hoping you could give me guidance for what sand to get. I know the sand I have now is too thin, because it floats everywhere. Sent from my SM-N900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It started out faintly, but it has grown into this massive spot of green all over my sand. I'm not sure what it is, because when I look up close at it, it doesn't appear to he growing at the surface but more of just colored sand. Algae is the only thing that came to my mind, but wouldn't I be...
