The Guppies in my tank started to show some signs of spots. Trying to trace if it is ick. I decided to use Triple Sulfa. Was it a mistake? I came home today and suppose to do a second treatment but the water is almost black. THe fish are swimming fine and are acting more normal then last...

Good Morning, I have a 55gallon tank and do my weekly changes. I have used purified water and distilled water. My question is I see advertisements for reverse osmosis filters for the home. Does anyone have any information on what these are like or advise on which one to use? Does it remove...

The guppy had nips on tail. I just did 15% water change on Sat. Cleaned larger filter on Sunday. I must purchase a new test. I stepped on the glass container and broke it. (yes I know) But there are no other indications of stress or trouble fish are all out doing their thing. And all where...

update been a few days now water is crystal clear. I almost think it is clearer now then before. Might be clear glass but... still i would have expected some cloudiness until it the bio starts in again. The platty may have got dropsy or something similar. I used a large cup added kosher salt...

Need help the left eye of one Mollies is bulged. This started within the last 24hr hours. i had a tank(29g) crack on the bottom and had no choice but to move them to a bigger tank (50g). I used the same water as the first tank plus 10gallon distilled and 10gallon tap water with Nova Water...

thanks for all your help. It is now 24hrs and the water is still crystal clear. Which is a very good sign. The other mollies seem to be having a good time in the larger tank. The small platty turns out is a male which maybe why he is biting the medium female who isn't moving much, I have...

I added a UV stabilizer to the tank last night. When doing so I leaned on the tank which must have cause some glue to let loose and the tank started leaking. I quickly emptied the tank saving what water I could. Because I had to move fast since water was spreading every where. The fish where...
