Likely depends on the brand and quality/price

Make Sure that you wash your sand if it's not made for aquariums, a lot of them have sediment that can cloud the water whenever it's disturbed. Just pour some in a bucket and fill it with water and pour it out until it's no longer/ barely cloudy (some will get picked up by the filter) if it's...

Sorry for the low quality photos, but I can't see anything on him, so I'm hoping that what ever it was resolved itself, but it might just be hard to see when he's not on the glass. And he's still active and behaving normally.

I've been treating the tank for almost a week now for an ick infection that's gone away, I'm using herbanta microbe lift, and Cannot use any intense meds because of shrimp and snails. Hopefully this means if it is a parasite It'll go away before my bottle runs out. I'll update in the morning on...

Today I walked in to see my hillstream coach in the glass, and noticed these bits hanging on the edges of his fins, my first instinct is to think it's an injury, but I'm no expert in desise or parasites, also I don't have any idea on how it could have been injured in that way. It is very active...

Im currently raising some live food in a jar, and noticed this guy, is he problematic?

Thanks for the advice I should now be better prepared for the future.

Unfortunately the only thing close to me is a petco, which doesn't sell methylene blue, also I don't know much about it but I'm not in a situation where I could get an isolation tank if it was ne Sorry I accidentally replied early, any way I wouldn't be able to set up a separate tank I if I...

Thanks for the input I'll make Sure to test it when I can, and to watch out for anything that could of injured it, which seems unlikely since I have much more active and less careful fish, but definitely something to look out for.

Hello, today I noticed one of my ottocinclus has some sort of infection. I am no expert in infections and need help identifying the infection type, and the best ways to treat it. I have a 40 gallon tank stocked with 16 corys (exact number not known, most are juvenile), 15 ember tetras, 8...

Hello all, I recently cleaned my filter intake today to increase the flow. In my aquarium there is some sort of process that causes air to break up into micro bubbles in the water.(First video) I've never had a problem with this before until now. I recently relocated my air stone to the end of...

Ok, thanks, and it definitely is algae, I have a light coating over most of the tank as it is relatively new.

Hello all, I have had this plant since I began the hobby back on February, I've struggled with melting of old leaves in the past and could never figure out why, now with additional knowledge, and experience, I believe it may be a type of anubius. It recently floated up and as I was looking at it...

Thanks for all the help! I appreciate it greatly

Thanks for the input! I'll take this into scout when selecting some, do you have any suggestions on male to female ratios? I've heard the males can get aggressive with each other and compete over the females

Thanks for the input, I was more thinking along the lines of 5-6 gourami, how do you think this would affect things?

Just joined! Here's a some pictures of my current and past tanks

Hello all, I currently have a 40gal planted tank as shown. I'm looking to get a group of sparkling gourami for it and am unsure how many to get. I've seen sources saying that you can have 10 comfortably in a 40gal but I'm not confident that that would fit my tank with my current stocking. I...
