Two weeks after I posted this question They spawned. She layed six eggs over a two day period and four of those were fertile. I did everything people suggested to increase chances for spawning. Colder water changes, high protein diet, & ect. I did set up my Fluval lighting on a daily timer & I...

Longfin Zebra Danio's a fast pace swimming fish with beautiful flowing fins that has the personality of a moody Cichlid. Their swimming behavior made me dizzy to watch and they fin nipped eachother?!! And I thought they were a schooling species?

I doubt it's the substrate that caused it. I have sand substrate and have never come across BGA. More than likely, this bacteria entered your aquarium on a plant. Instead of figuring out how it happened focus on how to get rid of it. Because of this post I looked at pictures online and this...

I disagree that ALL Betta's are solitary fish, but in saying that you might end up with an aggressive Betta that is not ideal for a community tank. Have a back up plan, incase you need to relocate that fish if it shows signs of aggression/stress. I've always had my male Betta's in their own...

Healthy Java is green, so if you purchased it brown then you bought dead Java. If it's green turning brown, then you have insufficient nutrients in your water.

Do you see your anglefish eat dry foods floating on the surface of the water? Maybe your little guy gulped too much air when he took a bite of food. Also, my brother in law's angelfish was extremely sensitive to any high spikes in Nitrates. When you checked ammonia was your nitrates elevated?

I'm so jealous!!! Your aquarium is perfection!! I agree with others you need to enter this aquarium in one of the monthly contests. I've never seen a Boeseman's Rainbowfish! Good choice on this fish they are breathtakingly beautiful on video. Their vibrant colors contrast against eachother...

I would follow the help/suggestions ThatFishgirl and Colin gave you. Remove rough decorations & water change. I have had a few Bettas over the last 20 years, so I'm familiar with them. The first betta picture has a Crowntail fin and the second picture it's a Plakat fin Betta. Are you sure it's...

BGA treatment with 200mg of erythromycin phosphate for every 10 gallons of water (40L) is effective and will usually eliminate it within a few days. If still observed after 4-5 days then repeat the treatment. Charcoal filtration and UV equipment must be turned off before applying. By treating it...

I have a battery powered Marina air pump that lasted almost 3 days using two 2D batteries. Look on Amazon because I had a difficult time finding them in a local pet store. If you loose power in the summer freeze water bottles to float in the tank. Like Boundava suggested! I lost power in the...

Feed them 4x's a day. OK thank you! I'll have to look online what the yolk sac looks like, because they are so small what am I looking for? Is this sac attached to them or is it inside the egg they hatched out of?

Yes Sgoosh! The one I saw under our microscope had two things on either side of its body. Then I must have seen a female.

Use the Fluval beneficial bacteria bottle as directed. I wouldn't add extra. Are you able to return the remaining Tetras, so you can fishless cycle your aquarium? If not, then they might not be strong enough to survive ammonia/Nitrite spikes. Sadly, ammonia burns fish. Test your aquarium water...

TragedyFin, Watch a video on cycling your aquarium without fish. Cycling an aquarium will take 6-8 weeks, then you can add fish. It is extremely important to have a Freshwater Test Kit. You cannot cycle your aquarium without it. Hopefully in three months when your aquarium and fish are all...
