Ok, I did a water change, and I fed my fish some peas, no one touched the peas, but the snails cleaned up the mess so it didn't hurt anything I suppose. Guppy is doing badly this morning, and I have noticed the poo, long white and stringy, can't remember what that means but I know it's bad

I would definitely take out the glow fish but would have no where to put him, only have the one tank, and I don't know anyone else with fish. If I brought him to a fish store would they take it? I feed the fish tetramin tropical flakes. Don't know what the poo looks like, haven't seen her do...

Tank size: 6 gallon pH: 6.5 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 20 tank temp:74 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):Female guppy is really bloated. Perhaps her gills are a bit inflamed also. She is hanging around in the top corner of the tank...

I have a 6 gallon talk. My plants are micro sword, four leaf clover, and what I think is java moss (It was a moss ball from pet co, not a regular moss ball though, it floats, tied onto a string and weighted with a led weight. It grows out and looks to me like java moss). I have a 2 watts per...

I'm not sure if this is emergent, but I don't know where else to post it. I have 6 neon tetras, one glo fish, 1 guppy. The guppy had been sick for some time, and wasn't eating or getting better with meds so I took him out this morning to put in a hospital tank. He isn't the problem...

Carbon, Charcoal ha! I totally don't know what i'm talking about. Shoot, I don't want to cut my filter apart though, the ones for my tank are expensive, maybe I could find a blank pad in instead. Do you think it would be ok if I just left the filter out at night, and put it back in during the...

I've got a sick guppy with fin rot (also has some other strange symptoms but that's beside the point). Anyway, The package says to take out your charcoal filter before treating. When do you put the filter back in? After 15 minutes? After the whole recommended 7 days treatment? Seems like a...

I can't believe places sell that stuff if it isn't correct. What a pain. I always see them selling bamboo there also, will that live underwater well? I just don't have any true fish stores around me and am limited to petco and petsmart most of the time.

Are you sure? The package said it was for terrariums or aquariums, and a sales person said it would be fine, and I have had it for 3 weeks and it seems to be doing ok. Could it be harmful to my fish?

Edit: So, since I read all the responses that it wasn't aquatic, I took it out and potted it right away. Within a few hours, it has wilted and died. Does that mean that it really was an aquatic plant? It was so vibrant and healthy in the water, I couldn't believe after such a short time in...

I recently started a small 1.5 gallon tank, everything is going well but I wanted to make sure that the Led lighting on the tank is suitable for the live plants. I have a floating moss ball, and some ferns (don't know what kind of ferns, doesn't look like a java fern). Anyway, the sales person...
