So I have a blue gourami who I found stuck to my filter. I caught him in my net and he was barely alive. He's swimming straight up and down taking breaths of air. I dont want him to die... but i also dont want to compromise my other fish. I unfortunately dont have my quarantine tank at the...

Yes barrel rolls, hes always eating next to the decor so I wasn't 100% sure if he was itching or eating. But I will try and take a closer look at him this evening to make sure he isn't getting sick! Thank you!

Hey guys, just wanted your opinion. So before leaving for work this morning, I noticed my algae eater twisting/twirling in the water, he did it a couple times. He was doing it next to a rock so I don't know if he was itching... or what. But I fed my fish maybe 10 mins before he started doing...

So just a quick question... do the white marks on my Rummys look like bite marks or ich? I do have two Rummys "missing"... they may have gotten eaten, i really dont know. I have two Blue Gouramis in my tank, i thought my rummy nose would be fine but i guess not. So i just want to know if I...

Hey guys, so I recently established my first tank and now I am onto my second tank (mts...haha). I made the mistake of purchasing two male Neon Blue Gouramis, they keep nipping at each other and I would like to separate them into their own tanks ASAP. So I've been looking online and ran across...

This is so helpful! I do have more snails than him, just recently I've found little collections of eggs all over the place. So definitely will be looking into purchasing a fish or a snail who can eat them. I try to keep the light on through out the day and I turn it off at night, but I guess...

So I am new to this hobby so whenever I find something new in my tank it's exciting but at the same time a little concerning. I have been running my tank for about 3 weeks now, I've had a spike in ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate and now my nitrites and nitrates are a little elevated, but also I...

I am in the middle of cycling my first tank. Since Ive started cycling, back on May 29th, my filters blinked to be changed twice (which I think is weird) The first time I changed it because I had just started cycling and hadn't made any progress yet. But now it's blinking and im on the stage of...

Okay awesome thank you guys! I just didn't want to add fish to a unsafe environment.

So I am currently cycling my first tank. I have added API Quick start and fish food. I recently added live plants from 3 different pet stores. It's been about a week since I've added them and now I've noticed white tiny worms floating EVERYWHERE! I honestly don't know what to do or how to get...

Ill try that, thank you!

I had my tank running for a couple days before adding anything other than conditioner, but everything was coming up 0. So i dont think its the water. Ill try and lay off the fish food and see what happens. Thank you!

So I'm cycling my first tank. I guess I just want advice about the current status of my tank. Tank Temp = 76 degrees fahrenheit Test Results: PH = 7.6 ish? Ammonia = 2 ppm Nitrite = .5 ppm Nitrate = .5 ppm I've conditioned my water, added API quickstart, and have been adding fish food to my...

I know to be honest half the fun has been the research for me. Learning something completely knew is always exciting! I really appreciate your help and suggestions they are very helpful!

Awesome, thank you so much! I'll just use fish food while I wait for the Ammonium Chloride to be shipped. (Since I'll have to order the Ammonium Chloride online.) Thank you again! Okay that's good to know! I'm using tablets in my rocks but also bought liquid fertilizer. Is it okay to use them...

Yes it is 30 in. tall! I realized pretty quickly how awkward tall tanks are for fish.. after doing some digging.. but unfortunately I'm just going to have to work with what I got Now, for the ammonia. I have a bottle from my Master Test Kit. Will this be okay to use or is there another product...

Thank you so much for your suggestions. The fish you've mentioned are ones I was thinking about getting as well. I read online its about an inch of fish per gallon, Is this true? My tank is probably not a true 15 gallons, due to the decor, so I was gonna round down and say about 10 gallons. I...

So I purchased a Aqueon 15 gallon Column Aquarium and stand, dimensions are 13x13x3. I bought the tank and substrate on a whim from PetCo. The substrate I have is river rock.. which after some research I realized is not ideal for what I would like my tank to look like. After seeing pictures of...
