Hi everyone hope yall are having a great holiday season! I have a question about some driftwood. My dad went fishing about a month ago in freshwater and found this awesome looking log like piece of wood and brought it to me for my aquariums. I started off by setting it out to dry but now am...

The first fish that died was one of the two that got skinny. It didn't happen right away but he was the only fish added after the initial ones which was doing fine. I like the sand for the plants but hated it kicking up when i cleaned and i felt i couldn't get everything out and when planting...

Here's a pic of the tank. It's low on water and needs to be cleaned right now but it hasn't had fish in it in a week so i haven't worried about it. Every one of my tanks is sand bottom gravel top. Some with that river rock and some with a smaller gravel. I have that exact skull in another tank...

Guppies, danios and shrimp. Different sources. Some of which were added from my other tanks and were fine before going in that one including 2 month old guppies that immediately stopped growing but no other symptoms until death. Most just hid a few hours before death. The two that showed...

So i have several tanks. One tank though i call the death zone. I have had it up for nearly a year. One at a time fish die. I think everything is healthy add fish, die. They take a long time to die. Like a month sometimes 2 a couple even lasted 6 months but they die. Yes, i do test...

The greyish green on the head that runs down the middle of the back and scatters more into spots near the tail. Normally it's completely blue/ black

I have a shrimp tank. The only time i get them to sit really still to use the magnifier on them is when they eating an algae wafer. And when they all eating on em they kick up a bunch of particles so this could simply be it landing on it. But i thought I'd ask. The shrimp all seem active and...

I know better than to use aerosol stuff but can the powder carpet fresh deodorizer be used in fish room? Does anybody have experience using the powder stuff in a room with aquariums? Thanks P.s. I have covers on most aquariums. The ones closest to where the carpets are in the room have great...

I live in texas and this summer we had ac go out and then the portion of the house with all the aquariums still gets hot even with the ac because they can't keep up when temps reach too high. Then at night the room temp drops. So we had and are having a lot of issues. The thing has helped the...

Ok so i have a 75 gallon with 1 large cave type rock, 1 medium cave rock, a skull, with river rock on top of sand substrate. The is tank mostly for baby guppies but i also had 4 glofish danios in there. Each a different color. At some point about 2 weeks ago i realized i hadn't seen the...

What is this? I thought that the filter just got dirty. Till i realized the"dirt" moves. I used the magnifier and it's something living for sure. It's a small 1.5 gallon tank with just a few blue dream shrimp. I know one was berried but i thought the babies would be at least a little bigger...
