Sadly it will not hold still, I am gonna just keep an eye on it and see what its like in the morning. I just dont want to have to relocate all my plants to treat a fungus if I dont have to. Anyway, here is hoping it is just a small nip that goes away as none of the other 11 fish show any signs...

I have 4 mollies (3 are female), 4 Guppys (all male), and 4 Platys (3 female). My fish are acting perfectly normal swimming about all of them are not acting any different than they ever do. One of my female dalmation Mollys had fry 2 days ago, I was able to catch 13 of them and they are now in a...

I keep mine at between 77 and 78 and he is always swimming around trying to catch a ghost shrimp (thus far failing) he eats sinking pellet and flake food that the fish let go.

Total Nitrates of around 40 to 50 are not absolutley deadly to your goldfish, its not great to have them that high but NITRATES are far less toxic to your friends than Ammonia and NITRITES. A series of small water changes each day for about a week should lower the nitrates for you as the...

The problem probably came upon introduction, that was way too many to add at one time, Ammonia/Nitrate probably spiked and killed them all, but yes Neons are sometimes difficult to keep. Ideally you should add 2 or 3 fish every couple weeks to a month after, and only after the tank has been...

I syphon my gravel once a month, and do weekly partial water changes sometimes bi-weekly but I have a 55 gallon and it only has 4 mollies 4 guppies, a frog, pleco, and some ghost shrimp. Weekly 10% water changes work fine with tap water just use tap water conditioner such as Stress zyme...

I love Mollies and Guppies, they are fairly simple fish but I just love them!!

Yes, I have the same spongebob in my tank lol, my 5 year old wouldnt leave me alone till I put it in there.

I am sure its algae, just scrub it off and make sure you are not giving the tank too much light for too long, also make sure its not getting direct sunlight via. a window. Possibly check your Nitrates as if these get too high they are a source of food for plant/algae growth and can cause the...

In my experience unless the ornaments are growing something undesireable, alge etc. I just gravel vac around them. The way I see it the faster I can get the gravel cleaned and part of the water changed and get things back to normal the less stressed out my fish tend to be. I have a couple big...
