fish don't need lights, its for our pleasure. You don't even have to turn them on until you get home for the day. especially if no one is home. It will save on electricity as well. Or you can get timers for your lights. Walmart has them for as low as $5.00

Yeah, like I said, I couldnt see the other pictures on my app and from only the first picture it looked similar. After posting I could see the other pictures and its clearly not the same.

I think it looks like this... Cyprinus carpio Edit: never mind. The app has been messing up on me lately and on this thread I could only see the first picture until I posted something.

Ok so I went with a guess of Brooklynella. I went to my LFS (independently owned) and asked for his advice. He said to give them a fresh water dip (which I’ve heard COULD cause more harm than good) and to raise the water to 1.026. I keep mine at 1.021 so I was like....woah. Is this even ok? He...

That’s what I was afraid of. Honestly, it looks like dwarf gourami iridovirus. I had it run through my tank and killed all 3 of my dg’s in three days. This is exactly how it started in my tank. It was a yellow spot in the morning. By afternoon it had doubled in size. By that evening it covered...

What kind of fish is this? The top pic looks kinda like a gourami but it’s not quite right in the other.

Ok, so the patch on his lip is gone but it looks like it’s moved to the rest of his body. This fish is super camera shy so they aren’t great pics.

My yellow tail blue damsel has a white patch in its lip. It didn’t have it when I first put it into my quarantine tank but it’s been there for about 4 or 5 days. I’ve tried to get a clear picture but it’s pretty camera shy. From a distance it looks bright white and fuzzy but when you get up...

My clowns (and other fish) go absolutely NUTS for the Fluval Bug Bites betta formula. I found out by accident when I wasn’t paying attention while talking and fed the betta tank first and then went straight to the salt tank and shook some in.

Also to add to Salem’s post, instead of tying a knot in the tube, I use a regulator from my air hose. You can adjust the drip rate with that and there is no fear of the hose accidentally loosening from vibrations or pressure from the water or even the hose naturally straightening by itself and...

SUPER low tech, old school setup. No coral, I don’t think I can care properly for that right now. No inverts yet. Shrimp will come with the bigger tank. MAYBE an anemone eventually but idk. I’m just starting and making a WHOLE bunch of mistakes. I got very forgiving fish to start with. Making...

Welcome! I can't wait to see your tank!

I keep guppies and 1 shrimp and 1 otto in mine. If I have a really serious problem I move them out and the sick fish goes in.
