The new guy. Peaches, aka wiggles.

This picture is a little blurry, but they are scattered pretty randomly in the back. The “holes” also have varying shapes and sizes, which is causing me to worry a little. But I hope you are be right.

I’ve noticed some odd texture on one of my goldies head. My best guess is hole in the head disease, but I’ve never dealt with HITH before, so I’m not 100% certain. Is this HITH? If so, how is it treated? This is Biscuit, my black telescope. The tank is a 40 gallon breeder. Biscuit is kept...

“Sir… sir… I’m afraid I must arrest thee. Thou hast surpassed the legal limit of cuteness.”

So, I decided to give it a shot, and they definitely didn’t like it. I unplugged the heater the other day and let the tank drop a few degrees over several hours. They seemed fine with it at first, but after about 24 hours of the tank sitting at 66-68 they became way less active. By today they...

My house temp stays between 60 and 70 year round. Usually 64-66 during the day and 60-62 and night. It’s more like 68-71 in summer.

Thank you, that is very helpful! :) Yes, the tank is heated. should it not be?

So, I have some questions about black tiger badis, because there isn’t a lot about them on the internet (such as behavior, sexing, breeding, feeding, schools vs pairs, etc). All I can really find is their temperature and PH preference and that they like live food (which I sort of figured out...

The other day I lost a shrimp. It must’ve jumped the tank because I found it dried up on the floor near the tank. The other two are still fine and have both molted I think. The microworms are a huge success in my eyes. After only a couple days or starting the culture, I scooped up a little of...

What a pretty boy

I took apart Mr. Whittaker’s 5.5 aquascape and re-did it bare bottom with potted and floating plants. I think he was roughing up his beautiful fins on the old hardscape and corse substrate (seachem flourite).

The LED does not get very hot, so I think it should be fine. Thanks for the warning though. I probably need more floaters. There is a little duckweed, but it hasn’t filled in yet. I’m not really a fan of duckweed, but it works. I haven’t noticed them eating the granules the last few days. I...

I have run into a predicament. I originally had a 20 watt LED over it (pretty bright, I know, but the vals were loving it). I turned it off to keep things dark and low stress for the first day or so. They seem pretty settled in and have been eating, so I tried putting the light on this...

The amano shrimp seem happy and everyone is getting along. Thanks for the input.

I have had this little top fin 3.5 gallon for a few months. It was a hospital tank for a betta (that sadly did not make it). After the betta passed, I put in sand substrate and heavily planted it. I had a few ramshorn snails in it, but nothing else. Recently, I decided to put it to use. I had...
