    Shed or Decay?

    Hey everyone, I'm having problems with a Kenya Tree Leather of mine. I've recently started a nano and the little guy is my starter coral. After feeding yesterday I came back today and noticed all the polyps were closed and there was a brown ring around the base. I know leather corals go...

    Blue Dwarf Gourami - overnight fin rot

    Hey guys, I'm currently faced with fin rot in my blue dwarf gourami (His name is Inquisitor). I noticed the jagged areas and scale loss this morning when watching the tank. The little guy doesn't seem to be too affected by it at the moment; his behavior hasn't changed and he's still as...

I recently bought a Kenya tree leather frag to start with after reading about how hardy these guys are. When my frag arrived I started assimilating it, and three days later I noticed...

    Canister Filters: Fluval 204 on 104 base?

    Hey everyone, Long story short, I picked up a few used fluval canister filters - 2 of them being a Fluval 204 and 104. The 204 works great but the 104 motor housing has some strange lubricant substance around the clips and seal ring (clear, jelly like, not sticky; feels more greasy after you...

    Dojo Loach Cloudy Eyes?

    My 1 and a half year old golden dojo has an eye slightly clouded and I'm unsure as to why. I first noticed it after I added him to a new 55g last night, and am worried it is a sign of something bigger? My questions are obviously what is this and can it be treated. I've never had this happen...

    55g planted stocking

    Hey guys. I'm in the process of setting up my 55g planted freshwater once again; my first time around it crashed after a year of running. I don't plan on making the same mistakes again :ermm: As I set things up I want to plan for the future of my tank in terms of the fish living in it. My...

    55g ammonia problems

    Hey everyone, For the last few weeks I've been battling severe ammonia in my freshwater 55g and I'm at a loss on how to fix it. I checked my levels yesterday and my ammonia was deep in the dark greens and pH was low. I didn't try to add chemicals to fix pH - I've been told raising the pH will...

    Ghost Shrimp as feeders?

    Hey everyone. Recently I've been looking into food sources other than frozen brine shrimp/bloodworms and flakes, and I was thinking about raising ghost shrimp in a separate tank as a food source alongside flakes. My tank houses 3 bala sharks (1 adult and 2 still growing), an angelfish, a...

    Is it finrot? (Angelfish)

    Hey guys. Today I moved my fish into a 55g aquarium from a 10g (Yes I know the 10g is incredibly small and I shouldn't have used it for the fish I own in the first place). I set up the 55g yesterday evening and let it run overnight before using the 10g's water to finish filling it before I put...
