Hi I run a 200L freshwater Tank for almost 2 years now. 3 Months ago, my tank developed a bad algae problem... Last month I've put in 3 snails to solve it. Now the algae seems to be under control, but I have to remove 20 to 30 Snails a week. How can I get rid of both?

A streetperson, a long-time friend of mine, who originally got me into keeping freshwater fish years ago, by giving me my first two tanks, a ten and then a 30 gallon 'Bow' tank [I now have 9 tanks up and running, with many others sitting dry, that people had thrown out, has just gave me an...

The Aqua clear BRAND name, I was referring to. The Eclipse has 3 kinds of filtration: Mechanical, Biological, and Chemical.

I have upgraded to this tank with the bio-wheel. Is the bio-wheel better than say an Aqua Clear hob? I got 2 differing opinions from the store ppl. The manager said both are good. Clerk said Bio wheel is the best. In my new 5 gallon, I have a dwarf gourami, a tiny corycat, a baby honey gourami...

I post every 2 years or so with a new/unidentifiable issue with my one fish, but I read more often and I appreciate the advise from the regulars. Here's my situation: I have one 8-inch 12 yo common goldfish in 29 gallons. It's unheated, but we're in Southern California, so he hovers around 70-74...

Hey, Just recently picked up a few goldfish for my daughter. The water was as clear as a bell last night, cloudy this morning. I kept fish about 20 years ago. I have 2 two inch fish in a 5 gallon tank. Charcoal filter on the back. Any suggestions?

I put a cute little Angelfish in the same tank with my male dwarf gourami. Big mistake! Mr.Gourami immediately bullied the poor little Angel and kept chasing after him and nipping at his fins. My female Gourami couldn't care less. Mr.Gourami is usually peaceful, except when Ms.Gourami is hungry....

Howdy, let me give you some background first. I bought a couple of baby orandas (1.5") for my daughter and a eclipse hex-5 tank knowing that the goldfish will growth soon and that 5g is not a good home for them, but the idea was to start small. After 3 weeks they are now 2.5". I wanted to wait and...

They are much more hardy than Goldfish..and they are labyrinth so they can breathe oxygen. The water is crystal clear at last. The only problem is the ammonia level is off the wall. I have to do water changes almost every night, and even after I change like 90% of the water, the card still reads a...
