    Rainbow Shark Eggs?

    Yes just the two rainbow sharks (not balas) and one Pleco in the tank, no snails or anything. Unfortunately when I woke up this morning it was gone. I'm guessing the Pleco somehow got to it. It was so strange because for awhile I kept thinking the albino rainbow shark was sick. It kept staying...

    Rainbow Shark Eggs?

    Hello. I have a 55 gallon tank that contains two rainbow sharks and a Pleco. I have had them for about two years now and have never seen anything that looks like this in the tank before. Could it be rainbow shark eggs? I know that it is very difficult to breed them. Perhaps it is just a weird...

    Tiger Barb Having Seizure? Choking?

    the one that was having the problem is the fatty of the group so he pretty much eats the food off the surface before it even has a chance to sink. he has since then gone back to normal -- took him about 15 hours to stop shaking, but seems fine now

    Tiger Barb Having Seizure? Choking?

    My tiger barb has been completely fine until after he ate today and started having what looks like a seizure. He is swimming around vertically with his nose towards the bottom and tail near the top and is shaking nonstop. I hoped that the shaking would stop by the time I came back home a few...

    Nutrafin Clear Fast - Is It Safe For Pleco?

    In response to coldcazzie: I assume its just a standard pleco. The store didn't have it labeled as anything specific. I know its not a rubberlip. It's supposed to grow to 24 inches maximum size. The pleco is the only new fish I have gotten in awhile. The tank was in the beginning of its getting...

    Nutrafin Clear Fast - Is It Safe For Pleco?

    The filter is tetra whisper power filter 60. It uses the biobags which is what I have been replacing. I know to never change the black spongy part. I just don't know all the correct terms for the filter parts. The only thing I change is the biobags which are white and I dump the carbon into...

    Nutrafin Clear Fast - Is It Safe For Pleco?

    Does the activated carbon that goes into the filter ever go bad (get old)? I just realized that the carbon I have been using is about 1 year old. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.

    Nutrafin Clear Fast - Is It Safe For Pleco?

    The tank is a 55 with 2 rainbow sharks, 1 pleco, and 4 tiger barbs. I do water changes about 20% every week and change the filter pad about every month and a half. When I do water changes I add stress coat and nutrafin cycle to it. No missing fish or invertebrates or anything. I am the only...

    Nutrafin Clear Fast - Is It Safe For Pleco?

    My 55 gallon tank has been extremely cloudy for about the past month. I have had it set up for about 7 months so the cloudiness is not due to cycling of a new tank. All of my water parameters have been tested and are normal. I did notice that some brown algae started growing in the tank around...

    Can I Place Tank In Front Of Window?

    Can I place my 55 gallon in front of a window? I know that windows are bad for algae growth but I am planning to keep the curtains shut. I need my tank in front of a weight bearing wall and this is the only place that I can put it. Will the support still be the same even though that wall has a...
