I need peoples' experience here otherwise it may take me millions of test kits, thousands of possible unnecessary water changes and all that neat stuff to turn my plants a healthier green. I have a 26g fully planted gravel bottom tank. 56w high output light and a diy CO2 dispenser. I do weekly...

ok I just got this tank cleaner, it has 2 scrub pads and a sqeege, The head has 2 positions and one position locks by pushing up this tab wich puts a pice of plastic as a stopper. The stopper part came off. My question is what would be a safe glue type substance to use, silicone? TIA

They have been in the tank a week now and I took a close look around the tank this morning and could not find one single snail. WOW! There were hundreds a week ago. The clown loaches did thier job. Thanks from everyone for the recomendations.

Hi, As some of you know, my Bronze Cory's have been laying eggs, I have had them lay twice now, and both time lost the eggs to the other tank members and fungus. I now have some Meth Blue and also a small tank in which I can place the breeding pair. I think the tank is between 10 and 5 gallon. I...

I don't know if any of you will have an answer for me, but I told a coworker that I'd ask you. I live in central Texas where the summers get very hot -- often in the 100s (ºF). A few folks have told me that they keep some sort of fish in their cattle and horse troughs (one said she buys the feeder...

Hi My Dwarf Gourami had identical white sores on either side of his body....just behind the gills & fin. He was behaving normally, but they got bigger over a few days. Initially I thought he had scraped himself till I noticed it was on both sides. They look like something trying to get...

I have a two year-old fully cycled 29g freshwater tank. The current inhabitants are 4 Tiger Barbs, 2 Kribs and 4 cory's. Does anyone have suggestions as to some new inhabitants (keeping in mind, I do already have experience in fish keeping)? I was thinking about possibly going with some of the...

I was wondering if it is possible to keep guppies in a tank without a filter? Thanks, Mariachi

I have a 20 gal long with 6 Zebra Danio's and 7 Neon Tetras. I'm looking for another fish, something colorful or at least interesting, to put in with them. I have tried Dwarf Gouramis but have had very little luck. Both have died, and I noticed that they did have nipped fins, so something the...

I noticed yesterday one of the downstairs clown loaches seems to have skinned his nose. It's not white or anything, just looks like an absence of colour. The four of them were playing with an algae wafer ( looked like rugby ! ) just before I noticed it. I hope that's all it is....... Peter

hey there... my severum has developed this strange sac-like thing under his chin... he always had a bit of a scar there, but it never got any worse or better... then just this week it's like it blew up and bubbled out so now it's kind of like a smaller version of those weird bubble things...

Can anyone tell me what keeps appearing on my airline tubing, it looks like flaked food that has gone all soggy and as soon as you touch it it all comes off making a mess inside the tank. Thanks in advance Mark

Hi. I have one of those small plastic tanks and wanted to clean off the algae without scratching the polycarbonate, acrylic, or whatever plastic the tank is made out of. I tried wiping with my hand or a paper towel, but the algae is stuck to strongly for that. Anyone ever use a Mr. Clean...

About a week ago I put a betta into my 20 gallon comunity tank. Then, I started noticing that then end of his tail is shredded. Now, most of his fins are shorter than normal, and he has a few missing scales on his side. What is puzzling, is that I have never seen any fish bite him. The tank is...

Hey Jamie.... I was wondering about those Betta fry youhad and if any had survived, or how it was going. How's about an update. = )

Hey there fishy folks. I was wondering whether or not those Betta fry had survived that a hobbyist had on accident. How about an update Jimmy?

I got a new Sea Clear acrylic tank a few weeks ago, and I'm finding that there's a lot condensation on the underside of the top. (For those unfamiliar, the tank comes in one piece, the top cannot be removed, and instead has smallish openings for therm, filter, etc. and a couple larger openings...

I've got a 20 gallon planted tank with 8 red-eye tetras and seven platies. I added five small (1/2") panda cories about 3-4 weeks ago. One showed up dead a few days ago and another this morning. I've checked them over under a magnifying glass and I see no spots, no bites, no bloating, etc.. ...

A buddy came over this evening and we started talking about fish after he saw my tank. He asked me a question that I had never really put any thought, and don't have an answer to either, other than to say that, "It's not done that way." Here is his question: "Instead of going through all the...
