Are you suggesting just doing water changes for now? Maybe daily?

Hey all. I noticed one of my guppies had damage on her caudal fin. I took it out from the main tank, and it's now in a separate tank with only cherry shrimps. From the picture, is it possible to tell if it's fin rot? Or could it be because of some aggression from other fish? In the same tank...

I'm definitely sure he ate a bunch of them, I saw it happening a few times. I moved it to a smaller tank by himself, raised the temp to 84F and added salt. Right now, he's definitely straight, but lying on the ground, no swimming, really just keeping upright.

Hey all. I recently set up a 75-gallon planted tank and moved all my fish and shrimp to it. I have in it a bunch of guppies/endlers, one molly, three swordtails, two neons, six corys, three siamese algae eaters, a lot of cherry shrimps and one angelfish. Since I moved them in (the angelfish...

That sounds good, thank you. I’m also injecting co2. Should I stop that until it’s cycled? How about lights? I’m currently turning them on for 9 hours a day, together when co2 is on.

Hello all. After a few months of planning and playing with hardscape, I finally concluded my 75-gallon aquascape. I used about five 9-liters bags of ADA Amazonia v2, and as expected, it resulted in a huge ammonia spike. I did use a canister filter with media from another tank, but that didn’t...

Hello all. I'm setting up a new tank and will move a canister filter (biomaster 350) from a running tank to the new one. Do I need to be concerned about algae? The old tank has quite a lot hairy black/green algae all over the decor. I'm definitely cleaning the inflow and outflow pipes, but I...

re bottom dwellers, would it still be an issue if there's a layer of sand on top of the stratum?

Hello all. I'm setting up a new 75-gallon tank and I have some old Fluval Stratum that was in a tank that had a camallanus worm outbreak. This substrate has been out in a bag for more than six months now. Is this safe to use? Same applies to some gravel that I was planning to use for just filling.

I plan to have a pill box or similar with individual dosages if I can get someone to come. I'm actually looking at automatic feeders, but I never had one of those, and I don't know if I can set these only to feed every three days or so to avoid waste. Any recommendations?

Hello all. We're going to be out for four weeks and will not be able to have someone perform water changes during this time. I have two tanks: - 29-gallon with a small angelfish, two neons, two mollys, three swordtails and five endlers. - 10-gallon with a ton of small cherry shrimps (if I...
