Hi folks. So I have had a honey gourami for about 3-4 months. He's in a 5 gallon tank with 6 Ember tetras. The gourami has been sickly now the past 2 months. It started with what looked like a mild case of fin rot or fungus. He started laying on the bottom but a few days later developed some...

How many Goldfish?

My nitrates have gone to 10 to 20 in my 55 gallon tank. I started using easy green about 3 weeks ago. I dosed twice a week(per instructions for medium light) until a week ago because I noticed bubbles all over the surface and thought I'll skip this week to see if it calms down. I do 10 gallon...

That crossed my mind. It's easier for me to 10 gallons every other day than a big one once a week though. The volume of water winds up being about the same. I don't know, maybe there is more water flow way I do it. I've read that can effect algae. I do have 2 hang on back filters. An Aqua-tech...

So I have 55 gallon freshwater tank. My plants are all low maintenance. I have Java fern, anubias and crypts. Those plants are doing well. I never see any already growing. I do have some ramshorn snails and a rubbernose pleco. The pleco does eat from the glass but it always looks clean. I feed...

Thank you all. So I've been treating him with melafix. 2 days to go on that. I'm very encouraged with his recovery so far. He's a little smaller than my other Angel but he seems to have gone to the he's gone to head of the class in the pecking order. I'm hoping he doesn't ecome too agressive...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I picked up Melafix today but I couldn't find prazipro. I ordered it from Amazon. I'll keep you guys posted

I've been feeding blood worms every few days along with tetramin flakes. I'm going order some prazipro. Would melafix work as a treatment and are either of those antibiotic? Thanks again

Hi everyone. I have a new angelfish with a body about the size if a nickel. About a week after I got it his tailfin became very clamped and ie was iviously laboring. I start doing water changes every other day and turned the heat up. Within a week it started resolving itself and the tail fin...

Sorry for the late response but a pair will disappear for a day or two while the eggs are laid. They find a quiet place somwhere. Then the Male will say with them for a week fanning them. By now you've probably seen the female resurface. After a week you should start to see the fry. They are...

So I'd been looking for Peacock Gudgeons for a few months and convinced Petco to get me some. I got 3 small ones about 4 months ago. It turns out 2 were male and one was female. They are hard to come by so I thought I'd research how to breed them. There's lots of material available and most...

I have one. When I got him I couldn't get him to eat anything. He wouldn't touch the algae tabs seaweed, anything. He did clean up algae on the glass and decorations but nothing else. Now he eats sinking fish food and shrimp tabs. He pushes any fish away that gets near though. I have him about...

I got Petco to order some for me. They were small and hard for me to sex but I wound up with 2 males and a female. She's just laid her 3rs batch of eggs. The first batch hatched about a week and a half ago. I managed to separate a dozen or so fry. The 2nd batch are probably ready to hatch now...

Not a good idea I guess then.. Thanks

Thank you. Do you have any experience with peacock gudgeons?

So I've been after these guys for several months. I finally convinced Petco to get some in ..the other local fish store hasn't been able to get any. Petco got in a dozen or so and I picked up a couple after letting them acclimate a few days in their tank(I guess to make sure they were going to...

How much larger of a tank are you planning on?

I resisted along time because of these kind if warnings but my black beard algie was becoming a huge problem so I gave it a try. Fast forward 3 months, not one sick or dead fish, and I have about 30 in a 55 gallon. Plants are doing great and I no longer have BB algie on my plants it glass. 1...

SarahAnn. Peraonally I wouldn't just float for 15 minutes and then net into the tank. But don't take my word for it because I'm just a guy on a fish forum. Google on how to do it and do what you feel comfortable with. Is also invest in an API water tests kit because you can get ammonia levels...
