Is this just algae on an uneaten piece of a algae wafer? A went to check some shrimp I have and saw a shrimp sitting on this eating it, I believe. The shrimp moved away when I was getting my phone is position to photograph the possible unknown thing. It is up against an intake for my Coralife...

They are not breeding yet but still pecking at each other. There are six of them. Juveniles. Their current tank is a community tank of 32 gallons. I hate having them in here and am so frustrated that I had to start over with the 75 gallon. If I had it to do over I would have gotten all the tanks...

UPDATE: After putting the air stone near the corner this angelfish ventured away a bit. Was interest in the flakes I gave them this afternoon, eyes moving to look at them, very close to underneath them but didn't eat. He tried once and seemed to be "blown off course" or unable to manouver. They...

I did the exact same thing on saturday. It was beautiful here too.

My coming of age (they are establishing pecking order) platinum angel would not leave the upper back corner tonight to eat. He has been in that corner facing the back wall most of the day and night. The back is black so they aren't looking at anything interesting. It is near the output of water...

Thank you so much for this! I actually test more often and much more easily since I switched to mainly just the tetra 6 in 1 and the tetra ammonia strips. I have brain fog and shaky hands and a lot of the time the liquid tests are just not accessible to me. And the tetra brand is definetly...

Questions are at the bottom! The nitrite in my 3 newer but cycled tanks went from 0 to somewhere between 0 and .5 on my tetra tests from me getting a bit carried away and being too aggressive in vacuuming gravel and then adding a few new fish to each of them. I vacuumed three other older tanks...

Absolutely nothing now but will be later today. I have to do some water testing, possible smaller water changes for 3 tanks if those tests are a tiny bit off. I also wanted to get the bio media prepared and put in place with filter for one 75 gallon, put in heater, fill it, dose it with bacteria...

I have a marble female who laid eggs about a day and a half ago in a 35 gallon cube, left in with the eggs to fan them and protect them from the tiny pleco, that is probably still in there, that I cannot find. I got the sae out; boy was that a pain. Most of the eggs are not white so I think they...

I found a few of these moving up the back tank wall in my 16 gallon where I have some mystery snails I want to breed. Are they rhabdocoela or planaria? This one was the longest, they were all thick bodied. I couldn't tell what shape their heads were exactly as my eyesight isn't that great and...

If I can motivate myself, I have 7 tanks I am cycling with no animals in there yet that could use a water change for various reasons. 3 of them the gravel had a lot more silica than I realized, despite rinsing it. The other 4, the substrate I used seemed to absorb the minerals in the water...

I have seen different ways mentioned online on reddit and also if you google it. Some mention a method with alcohol (a specific kind) and some suggest freezing... Can't say either of those sound pleasant to me. I can say not to use clove oil. It does painful things to inverts and then they die...

I have Siamese Algae Eaters. I had gotten one, and he was so cool I bought more. They are fine alone or in a group. My tank is a little bigger and I added 4 little ones to the large one. I think they are becoming a gang. lol Don't do what I did. Stick with just one or two! They eat algae off of...

I just reread my original post... guess I won't be doing speech to text on here again!!! lol

I would like to finish up the round of kanaplex as directed by Seachem.... can I add the Erythromycin or Macaryn (same ingredient) with the kanaplex, or should I wait, do a water change and use some active carbon for a day, and then go ahead with the EM?

I am treating my platinum angelfish with canna Plex for hemorrhagic septicemia. I believe the bacteria came from a sponge that I had bought that was supposed to help me cycle my tank. I had used the same gravel in this tank having no idea that there was a problem with it. We had rinse the...

How do I bleach treat an all glass 35g aquarium to kill bacteria and parasites?

They are acting the same as my adult SAE in my community tank. These are four babies. They won't eat from the surface where the food first starts at.... my adult SAE does so he gets a lot more food. They do eat a few flakes while they are falling near the substrate and will look on the substrate...

Yeah the photo sucks, and the video I took barely shows it too. It is whitish and super thin, but shorter than the pics of detritus worms I have seen. (Baby?) It scrunches up and then jerks apart, kind like it is having a spasm, and seems to use this motion to swim... which is not all that fast...

I thought I was on to something because for 2 days I didn't see the long white poop.... I believe I have Thera +A. Been a hot minute since I fed it to my fish and never these ones.. thanks, I will try that. Should I maybe do the water change I am supposed to, replace the carbon filter and then...
