Hi there! I have a 50 gallon tank. It's well established, 7 years old. I have a gourami, beta, 6 black skirt tetras and a flag fish. I just recently got rid of all my artifical plants and want to start using plants. I love the carpeted look in tanks. How do I start that? Seeds? I truly have no...

That sounds like an amazing plan! Thank you so much for the information. I've never had to deal with a situation like this. So grateful to have people like you to help guide me!! I'll update with progress!

Sounds good. Thanks for your reply. I think quarantining is a good idea. Honestly, I wasn't sure he would survive through the night. I was debating on euthanizing. But he actually seems better today. Not as stressed and even ate during the morning feeding. His scales are extremely are damaged...

Dumb question... Can I use the methane blue in the tank with other healthy fish, or do I need to transfer him to be treated on his own?

Thank you so much for your reply! Stress coat is a GREAT idea, I'll get some of that in the morning. I'm not familiar with methane blue. I'm going to look into that now. Thanks again for your reply!!!

I just rescued on of my black skirt tetras from being stuck behind a rock in my tank. As soon as I released him, he began frantically swimming around my tank.

I have a 50 gallon tank for 2 years with mostly tetras, Cory catfish, guppies and gourami's. For the last 6 months, my water has had a brownish tint. No matter how many times I do water changes, clean the tank and filter, it never gets clear. I do want to mention that it's not cloudy at all...

OMG! That's genius! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the suggestions. A thin board with actually be a good idea.

I just added a Thai Devil crab to my tank. I read that they will easily escape. Any suggestions about what I could do to patch the holes in the aquarium lid do he can't get out?? Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much! I went to Petco and got an air stone this morning. The fish seem totally happy and unphased by the cloudiness, in fact they look better than ever! My ammonia is still high, would the ammonia lock from yesterday still be working? Or should I dose again?

Thank you so much for the reply. So, it's better to just let it do it's thing than try to treat the cloudy water? Also, I just checked my ammonia and you were right, it's high. I treated it with ammonia lock.

Hello! So excited to be a new member of Fishlore. I've had a 25 gallon tank for 2 years. I have 4 black skirt tetras, 3 mollies, a cory catfish, and a gourami. As I said, I've had this tank for 2 years, but I'm still learning so much. I just did a total gravel change with a 50% water change...
