IT'S BACK. I didn't know whether to create a new forum or not, so I apologize. I caught it before it got to the filter cartridge and actually remembered to take a good picture this time: I'm at my wits end, this thing is like white fluffy Ganondorf. Every time I think I've killed it it comes...

Must've been the snails then. I knew they looked a little too casual!

It's shaped like this, since I have no clue. I understand they are schooling, which is why I was worried there would be too many fish. Glad to know they'll get along with the tetras!

I have a fully-established 20gal tank, and am going to add more fish. I'm about to rebuild my GloFish Tetra school to 6 at least, and was thinking of getting some Glofish Danios as well. I wanted to know if they would all fit in a tank of this size. Didn't want to go on a shopping spree and end...

One of my four Glofish tetras just went missing, and I've torn up the world looking for him. He was bright neon green and glowed like the sun under the black light, but he just went poof. Tore up the entire tank, searched in and under every plant and decoration. This isn't like him, he always...

I was washing it out separately. It sorta disintegrated then came back the next day. I may have found the issue, i.e. a disgusting source of white mildew near the tank. I'll buy a new filter and see how things go

The black part is where the water was. The cartridge was too big and stuck up over the waterline a bit inside the filter itself. The carbon part is on the backside. It's a little brownish in better lighting.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture until AFTER I'd dumped the filter. What's left got pretty squashed and deformed. It's usually a little rounder, fluffier, and whiter than this mess. I'll probably be getting the proper filter size tomorrow morning, and I guess I won't worry about...

This is the second time this has happened, and I can't figure out the cause/how to prevent it. A white, fluffy mold/mildew grows on the filter cartridge just above the waterline. I have to keep changing the filter, since the mold will appear within a couple weeks of using it. It is a 20gal tank...

Okay, thanks!

Okay, I'm up for it. I'll get some more and give that a shot!

Just now did a water test. Nitrates and Nitrites are both at 0 Here's a photo of the tank This is how they usually are.

Yes, the tank is fully cycled and has been going strong for several months at least. I have four Glofish. I used to have five, but there was a tank malfunction and sadly R.I.P. yellow guy. They were like this when the yellow one was alive. I'm not against getting a few more since the tank is stable?

Due to beginner's ignorance, I put my GloFish in a tank far too small. Like really small. Yes I know I'm an idiot, but there's an issue I've been wanting to fix. Because of their previous hovel, they are rather grumpy and antisocial for schooling fish. I've got them in a clean, lovely 20 gal...

Mystery Snails and Bettas. Both my snails died without explanation, and the bettas were not pretty. I might try again now that I've got more experience, but I think the last fish might flee the tank when I walk in.

I think my common platy is ill, but I have no idea what it is or how to treat it. This is the best photo I could get. She doesn't have this anywhere else, just that specific spot. She seems okay; active, responsive and eating fine. I haven't introduced anything new to the tank. I recently did...

I was thinking of getting something like that! I'll keep them in mind, those might be perfect.

I'm going to upgrade my platy to a more appropriately-sized tank, and was wondering what would make good tank mates? She already has a tiger snail roommate who I'd like to keep safe, and the tank is only going to be maybe a 15-gal, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Funny, I got recommended this fish by a Petco employee! The fish was so small and innocent, but she turned into a big dumpling on a diet. I'd guess she's almost 2 1/2 inches long? I know this is the moment where I publicly humiliate myself on my first post. I'm far from a photographer, and...

That's a relief, although I had no idea she was a social fish. At least I don't feel like a monster anymore lol!
