Aside from the obvious, I've been gravel-vacuuming repeatedly and I'm losing this battle. I have two types: some looks like unfertilized fish/snail eggs (white dots with slick clear gel) and some that looks like standard fuzzy water mold in my 5 gallon betta tank. Outside of Ragnar the mighty...

Hi there, I'm planning a 75 gallon long with this stocking: 1 Red-Tailed Shark, 1 Blue Gourami and 5 Bosemani Rainbowfish. I would like to add a nice school of fish for the middle of the tank for movement but all the usual suspects are either too small or too fast and would stress out the shark...

I know they're fast enough to escape a grouchy Betta but...

Hi everyone, I'm restarting my 5 gal tank (equipment: tetra whisper 10i internal power filter, hydor 25w heater and a Balinese Dragon bubbler ornament) after a community tank failure (I give details in my introduction but quick synopsis: fatal secondary fungal infection with unknown initial...
