Is there a type of fish/shrimp/snail that eats free floating green algae in a freshwater aquarium? Not the kind on the glass, free floating in the water. I have a 20 gal so it'd need to stay small. I know a uv filter will help but I'm hesitant to buy one because they are expensive. And yes, I've...

It looks even worse today. I did a 3 gal pwc. I can't see the fish unless they're swimming against the glass or up at the very top.

what about water wisteria? anyone had any luck with that?

ok, thanks! any idea why i need it though? it's by a window, but i can't really avoid that. my brother has a tank directly in front of his window at home, with 2xs as many fish and crystal clear water every day. i wish i knew why i'm getting this problem in the first place.

My water started turning hazy about 4 to 5 weeks ago. I've been doing PwC like usual and it doesn't seem to clear up. I did a 50%wc 2 days ago and nearly killed my fish. I have no idea why. They've recovered now. Anyway now its worse than ever. I tested my water with api master kit and my...

They've always done just fine as a pair It was all of a sudden after the pwc

I did a 50% water change , which is more than usual bc I've been dealing with cloudy water. I did it as I always do, but for some reason my cory catfish are both upside down. Alive but not swimming and floating. I have 2. It's a 20 gal long so I did 10 gal. I don't know if I over cleaned or...

I was wondering bc I actually found online that they're separated and mine gets a max of 3 in and dojo get mas of 10. I wouldn't get one that big for a 20 gal.

same I've heard conflicting opinions. you should fast them, you shouldn't..idk. but I do think more food, more poop, dirtier water. and I don't want them to bloat or anything.

well this guy is at max length at 3 in

I have one , can't post it

might help to say, I have a 20 gal tall, and a bubbler, and have 4 mollies, 1 otto, 2 cory cats and 1 java loach.

I have a HOB filter, and I use a fluval sponge, biomedia in a bag and I have an extra sponge on the water intake. I wanted to know what I can add to get the tiny particles out of the water?

daily , every other day?

whaat?? it's a 20 tall. if it matters I have a bubbler for extra aeration and in my filter I have bio media plus an extra sponge on the water intake. I'd love to have more if I could. been dealing w/ bacterial bloom last week and thinking of upping my filtration somehow bc of tiny particulates...

ok ty

YES! That looks just like him! I would love to get more but I have 20 gal tank and I currently have 4 mollies, 2 cory cats, 1 otto, and my loach. Probably at capacity.

so no cause for concern?

you know what, upon further investigation I think he's actually a java. the lady at the store said 20 gal is fine and he's about 3 in long. and thanks! it just fit him. they say you'll never see them if kept alone, but this little guy is so silly and playful.

my fishes are piggies too!! trying to make me feel bad like they're starved and neglected!! lol
