It can be hard for a pleco to compete for food if your cichlids eat everything you put in there. I would try putting vegetables like cucumber in there because the pleco should go to town on it while the other fish will most likely not eat it. If that doesn’t help I recommend putting it in the...

Here’s some pics of the puffer and his fin. I’m currently treating the water with artemiss. I’m going to move him and the other 2 puffers to quarantine until I have it sorted out. I’ll try adding salt to the water and see if that helps too.

I got a group of 3 pea puffers today from a store that’s pretty far from where I live because they were doing a deal 3 for 10$. After I got the fish home and put them in a tank I realized one of them has a pectoral fin that is entirely white. I think it’s fin rot but I’m not sure. Have any of...

The algae was brought into my aquarium on New plants I got. But since it’s in my tank now it’s spreading. I’ll try leaving my lights on for 8 hours instead of 10 but the lights in my 55 I feel is barely enough for the plants so I’m worried it might kill my plants

My 55 has an Oscar and Jaguar cichlid in it so all plants are removable so I’ll definitely try the hydrogen peroxide out and I may just have to buy some excel

The lights on my 55 are just two clip on led lights that I have no idea what wattage they are and on my 20 gallon I have a 15 watt planted aquarium light from China

I recently added a few plants to both of my tanks and they were all free so I didn’t mind that they had some algae on them but it’s getting pretty bad now because all my plants have algae growing on them now. I believe it’s hair algae but I’m not sure. How should I go about removing it? I had...

You’re probably correct. The guys tank was in his backyard with nothing but a hang on back filter and a bunch of plants. The tank was very dirty looking and it seemed like he rarely did water changes so that’s probably why they were stressed. Out of all the fish he gave me just the sharks and...

The fish were in a tank in a guy’s backyard before I got them and the tank had nothing running except a hang on back filter so I assume his temperature during the day was also around 78 degrees seeing how that’s how mine get just in my room. I do use heaters but they only turn on if the water...

My PH is naturally about 7.0-7.2 and i had two of them, the first one that died was laying on his side the first night and then died. The other one showed no signs of stress like I said until randomly today. He was even fine this morning. That’s what I meant by everything
