I bought a Plecostomus a few weeks ago, it's a small one ( I know, it will grow). I noticed a few days after I bought it, it was laying on it's side at the bottom of the tank and I thought it was dead, but I noticed it was still breathing. So I tapped on the glass and it got up and sucked up to...

I have a 55 gal tank. I have a red tail shark that I've had for about 6 months. It is the same size now as it was when I bought it. It swims, eats, acts normal. My Mother-in-law is of the persuasion that it's a male because it's so small...from everything I've learned in research the male is...

I bought 6 algea eaters from the local pet store a couple weeks ago. They were very small, but they are growing nicely. One of the 6 is different looking from the others. His body is regular color and a small spot on his head is regular color, but the area around his eyes and his "face" (if fish...

I have a 55gal tank. I was having issues with pH being real low and my ammonia was real high. I read that if the pH was below a certain point and your ammonia was high then you had ammonium and that was not toxic to fish. I was finally able to get my ammonia to 0ppm and my pH was around 7-7.2...

When I woke up this morning I found a dead Long skirt black tetra. I was puzzled as to why he was dead....this afternoon I noticed my biggest White skirt tetra was nipping at and ramming one of my long skirt black tetra and then I started wondering if that was the cause of death for the other...

I had a pictus catfish that I got the middle of January this year. I noticed yesterday that he was swimming around real calmly around the tank and not being spazzy like he usually is and he didn't stay hidden in his log. I also noticed yesterday afternoon that his right eye was like bug-eyed and...

I have a 55 gal tank and my water is cloudy. Per the local fish store i needed to do a partial water change (20% min-40%max). I did that and the water is still cloudy. My water parameters are: ammonia 0, Nitrate 40, Nitrite 1.0, water is hard (i live in the country and have well water), chlorine...
