    What are these tiny specks in my planted aquarium?

    This was as zoomed in as I could get, they’re tinier than poppy seeds, but they don’t seem to move, although it’s hard to tell with how small there are. I feel like the sheer quantity of them rules out fish eggs, could it be some sort of mold or algae? I do have an algae issue on the sides of...

    Fish still have spots on day 7

    Have you tried raising the tank temperatures? Ich doesn’t survive well in heat. Try SLOWLY raising the temps to about 87F. I’m not familiar with the brand you’re using, so I have no idea how effective it is. I would try to do more natural methods before using more of that stuff, medications like...

    Reunited Jewel Cichlids

    The pet store I visit a lot had a pair of jewel cichlids for a few months, a male and female. I remember checking in on them every visit and watching them swim together happily. My tank is only 20 gallon, so I knew I couldn’t take them home, especially with my neons and guppies 😂. One day, I...

    Fish still have spots on day 7

    Do you have a photo of the fish? Has the ich spread or moved at all?

    Is this ich?

    I did a couple of water changes yesterday, I had some green water from algae I was trying to deal with. Looks like the spots haven’t multiplied, and it seems like it’s mainly on one tetra. They’re so faint that I don’t think it could be ich. I feel like @GaryE could be correct about epistylis...

    Is this ich?

    My room hit 87 because of the heat wave, and I’ve been dealing with a large algae bloom for the last month or so. They don’t seem all that bothered by the spots like ich seems to do. That does sound more plausible than ich since the guppies are unaffected. Unfortunately my phone camera isn’t too...

    Is this ich?

    My ammonia is 0 and ph is 7.4, I just noticed these tiny dots on the neon tetras tails, but it only seems to be on the neons and ONLY on their fins, I didn’t see any on the body. They’re also super small, much smaller than the usual ich I see at pet stores. I haven’t added anything new to my...

    ChatGPT in the Aquarium hobby

    I’m curious what opinions it would give on other topics. This one it seemed to lean democrat because of the gun control law suggestion. If we ask it other political topics, would it try to stay neutral, lean left, lean right? If the question is repeated by a different user, would the answer be...

    ChatGPT in the Aquarium hobby

    It does have a cut off year, so it’s likely outdated. It kept telling me it’s info is cut off at September 2021

    ChatGPT in the Aquarium hobby

    So I’ve been messing around with ChatGPT, mostly quizzing it by asking it questions about fish diseases and parameters. So far, all the information it’s given me has been accurate. I know it learns from previous experiences and also gets its info from the internet, but has anyone had any...

    Differences between Saprolegnia and Columnaris?

    I actually made a post about the gourami in question, he developed it the day after I brought him home. After he died a few days ago from dropsy I decided to start doing more research for diseases, as I actually did notice some off behavior in the days before his death, but didn’t know what to...

    Differences between Saprolegnia and Columnaris?

    Yeah, when my gourami had columnaris I first tried Kanaplex to no avail. I also added salt and lowered the temps, which slowed but didn’t reverse it. It finally went away after I added Jungle fungus cure, which I had to order online because the FDA restricted it for carcinogenic ingredients...
