    Electric Blue Acara

    I dont think I have very many Mts in the tank if any but he might have eaten something else he shouldn't have. I haven't added anything to the tank in a few months that could have introduced parasites, but I might try another Epsom salt dose and see if that works Sent from my iPhone using...

    Electric Blue Acara

    That could be possible and his stomach does seem to be sucked in, but I wasn't sure if that was because he wasn't eating. I had given him a Epsom salt bath when he first started acting weird, hoping that would do the trick, but I didn't notice a difference Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

    Electric Blue Acara

    The Angels are definitely not spawning. He seems to be sad but other times he is swimming around the tank and seems to be doing fine but then the next minute he will be laying on the sand so I'm not sure what to think Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    My nitrites readings are about 5-10 ppm. I am very consistent with my water changes and the tank is heavily planted Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Electric Blue Acara

    It's a 55 gallon fully planted tank. He's probably about a year and a half to two years old. He's in the tank with 4 angels, 4 khuli loaches, 1 bushynose pleco, 3 Cory cats, and 2 bumble bee gobys. I do a water change every 2 weeks or every week and a half and the light is on for about 6-7 hours...

    Electric Blue Acara

    My electric blue Acara has been acting weird lately. He won't eat any food that I put in. He mostly sits on the sand discolored like in the pics. What might be the cause of this? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Tank on all but 1 inch of the shelf

    I have my 55 sitting on a stand with about 3 inch over hang on each side and it hasn't had a problem since I set it up over a year ago. I'm sure the inch will be fine without a problem

    Green Terror Mating? HELP!

    With two green terrors I would consider at least a 55. Lip locking, increased aggression and shaking are all good signs of possible breeding, but they also could be trying to show dominance/strength the same way considering you just got the male. They will most likely beat each other up quite a...

    Tankmates for a angelfish in 20 gallon?

    Id recommend khuli loaches, Cory cats, maybe gold or German blue ram or a dwarf gourami or an apistogramma. Tetras are always a good option

    how to keep plants from floating

    I would suggest if you're trying to get moss to grow to use string to tie it around something you want it to grow on, or wedge some in between rocks or something and wait. Moss tends to be pretty hardy and will grow about anywhere. For other plants if you get your plants from the Lfs they may...

    Electric Blue Acaras?

    Mine seems to have an okay personality haha he's in a community tank with plenty of other smaller fish and he seems to be fine. Except for the occasional chase but besides that he's very mellow! I think he's close to full grown (at about 4 inches) but I'm not sure how big the electric ones get I...
