I think something is eating my plants. In particular, what I think is a giant red rotala has all of it's bottom leaves removed. The debris is getting stuck in the filter and clumping up in corners. I want to know if the plant is sick or if something is eating it. I have one black tetra, about 7...

probably ich. i say use small doses of medication and see what happens. raising the temp to much or to quickly can easily kill fish. i have yet to hear of a medication that will kill plants, but if it makes you feel better, get a smaller tank to keep the sick fish from giving it's friends the...

I've decided to start a random story center! I need YOU to post your random tropical tank stories for all to read. This isn't a help discussion or Q&A thing, just a place to share tales about ye olden days when we were young lads and lasses attempting to keep a tank full of angelfish and neons...

You got it Fishmaniac! Your turn.

hmmm... lets see. For most schooling tetras, what is the minimum number of fish you need for a happy, healthy school.
