Great, thanks! I'll try that. I did used to have it on for 12hrs, but I moved it down to 10hrs about six months ago and it helped a lot. The algae came back later. The thrive S has the same dose. I do three pumps because I have about 5 gallons of substrate in the 20 gallon tank already. I do...

My lights are on for 10hrs a day on a timer and the fert I use is thrive S once a week, three pumps (when one pump per 15 gallons, minus the five gallons of substrate=15 gallons of water in the tank)

Ok, I will consider that, but couldn’t the problem be a lack of nutrients? Like the algae is taking over because there aren’t enough nutrients for the plants to grow there’s enough for the algae to grow?

Hello Fishlore, I have a 20 gallon long aquarium, with a lot of guppies and endlers (like 40 or 50 of them), an albino Cory (the others died a while back, this one is still going by itself, and I really don’t want more; she just laid eggs, too), 8 24kt gold mountain minnows, a nerite snail...

I’ve been leaving the light on. It doesn’t put off too much heat. The weather is starting to cool down now so that should help. I came back after being gone for a day and unfortunately the other catfish passed away. The last one remaining looks healthy and I am wondering what I should to. I am...

the temp is supposed to be 73. Right now there is a heatwave so the temp is 82. I can do very little about that since I don’t have AC. The temp rose gradually due to air temperature. I think I said up there that I do it every 4 weeks, but that’s because I have a denitrification process. My...

I’ve just placed a bag filled with RO water in the fridge. I’ll wait for it to cool down and then I’ll put it in the tank to try to drop the temperature gradually

Hmm ok. The snails have been laying on their backs and in their shells which I’m pretty sure is due to the heat. It’s hard to see on camera, but the bottom picture is of the normal looking one. The top one is much whiter and on the right side near the tail is a red splotch. It’s just been...

Now it’s just swimming and staying in one spot vertically on the glass

I’ve just noticed a red splotch near it’s analfin

Hello, - Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 20GL How long has the tank been running? Idk like a year Does it have a filter? Yes (one canister, two sponge) Does it have a heater? Yes What is the water temperature? 73-75 (although we are experiencing a heat wave so it is about 82°F What...

Oh I didn’t know this. He still seems healthy and shows no signs of aging except for his perception. He is more chill now, he doesn’t swim much anymore and relaxes all day behind his sponge filter. He knows exactly where the food is, but he either swims past it or misses it. It’s gotten better...

I tried turning off the sponge filter so there was no surface agitation whilst he was eating and it seemed to help a lot. In stead of not eating at all, he was able to snag 4 out of like 8-9 that I tried feeding him. I’m thinking about purchase floating pellets so he has multiple tries at one...

Hm ok, I’ll look into that I do have frozen blood worms, and he doesn’t even recognize them as food. I drop it in and he ignores it. Petco and how do you suppose to feed a small fish with large tongs? If it works I’d love to know He ignores both. I feed flakes every night to a guppy in the...

Can’t betta’s live for like 7 years? And are there any tweezers you recommend?

Sometimes I try to feed him northfin betta pellets 1mm width. He acts the same way to those

He’s been eating this food for the last year and half. It’s tetra tropical granules.

For the last two to four months, my betta always swims right past the pellets I give him. It’s so incredibly annoying because it’s gotten increasingly worse. He hasn’t eaten tonight which was the first night he flat out has refused to eat. Usually he misses the pellets (9/10 times he misses) but...

Hello Fishlore, i currently have around 30 fry and I need to get rid of them soon. I am willing to negotiate a price for the fry, although these guppies and endlers are somewhat rare. I just really need to get rid of them. I am not shipping, just pickup in person. We would meet in a public...
