I’m doing a fish less cycle for my 10 gallon tank by putting in fish flakes every morning and night. After about 4 days I noticed these white things forming and they’ve been multiplying. I don’t think(?) they are alive but I’m not sure what they could be as I’ve never seen them before. Could it...

When I feed my algae eaters cucumbers I stab it onto a metal fork and drop it in for them. The problem is usually I forget to take it out and sometimes the forks sit in the tank until the next time I feed them cucumbers, so a week or two. Today I noticed that there was rust on the forks because...

Thank you so much for this reply, it was super helpful! My multis have been acting strange lately, it might just be me being paranoid after the other one died but I’ll go ahead with dosing aquarium salt for a week just to be on the safe side. I’ll order a hardness kit and see if I need to raise...

About 1 week ago one of my multis died of unknown causes. The other fish look fine but I was wondering if I should add some salt to the aquarium for the overall improvement of their health. I've read online that salt is good for hard water fish but I've also read that it isn't good to overuse...

I get why you would think that I don’t have time with what I said but I assure you that I do my best to keep my fish happy and healthy and dedicate lots of time into taking care of them. Last week was finals week but I still called my local LFS for advice because they specialize in plecos. That...

Does anyone know what I should medicate the tank with? Should I treat it as bacterial or parasitic? My algae eater isn’t eating and is more lethargic than usual and one kuhli died today after spinning in circles and swimming upside down for a long time. I think the blood worm water may have...

I added 6 kuhli loaches because I only had one previously and they live in groups. I don’t usually feed bloodworms so that’s why I thought it might’ve been that. It’s been a week since I added the kuhlis an The blood worms were mainly for the plecos because I know they appreciate some meat in...

Last night I put in lots of frozen blood worms (more than enough because I thought the algae eaters would slowly eat it all night) for my fish. I put it in after all the fish were asleep so that only the algae eaters and the kuhli loaches would eat it. The next morning I woke up to one kuhli...

I had the colony split originally in 2 different tanks but the Multies were taking up a lot of territory so I merged the colonies into the 36 gallon. There’s 2 angelfish, 8 glofish tetra, a kuhli loach, and some algae eaters in there. The pH is 7.8 in both tanks but I’m trying to raise the pH...

Male1 used to live in a 36 gallon with 2 females and 7-8 fry. I added a new male (male2) into the tank and male2 was getting beat up at first but on New Years male2 finally held up his own territory and became an outcast. Yesterday I came home from school to see the male1 (dominant male) getting...

Anyone have any thoughts? I’ve had a blue background for a long time but I removed it and idk in low key attracted to the look, is it just me?? Should I stick with the blue, with no background, or try black?

[12/11/2021] Rescaped my tank! I found that heavily planted tanks aren’t for me, so I wanted to focus on the hard scape this time. After lots of time finding, buying, curing, and cleaning the wood and red lava stone, I’m finally done! I’ll add root tabs tomorrow after I’ve had time to figure out...

Ok that’s good news then because right now my tank doesn’t have a lot of decor because I’m currently rescaping it. Hopefully after I’m done with that the aggression will go down
