I went to the LFS and their opinion based on what I told them is some sort of fungal or parasitical infection. I am going to quarantine the goldfish and give him a one hour dip and see how it is in a few days. As for insinuating I am rude, I posted in an emergency category and my word was not...

According to researching, which I did before purchasing the fish I have, all are within the ideal temperature range of 75 degrees except the goldfish for which the water temperature is about 1 degree warmer than the ideal range. If it was more than that, I wouldn't have put them in. They swim...

The test I did on Saturday had near zero for Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates. And I say near zero because the API master test kit I used had barely any color change from the base color. I have been testing weekly out of habit and there has never been a rise in any levels. The bacteria and...

It's pretty colorful and fun to watch :) It doesn't seem to have a lack of appetite though I would say it might be a little less active than normal. Hard to tell as I only got the goldfish about a month ago, but while it use to scavenge and slurp up the 1/8" gravel and spit it out most the...

Can anyone tell me what this is so I can effectively treat it? I noticed the purple yesterday and it has grown larger today. That's about all I know other than this is a picture of it. Sorry for it being a bit blurry.

The API Freshwater Master Test Kit is a great kit to have and is about $25 on Amazon (usually about the same price from your LFS as well). Test strips can work but aren't as accurate.

That's an interesting algae. I will try to keep a closer eye on it and see if it's really being eaten. Thanks :)

I haven't had much luck researching either, and the LFS was rather clueless as well.

Multiple of these have appeared in the tank over the last couple weeks, each seems to have a big of a "stem". Seems a bit of a weird pattern to be dust right?

Good Morning Everyone, I have this weird white/grey stuff growing in my tank but it only appears to be on the glass and looks like it has a stem coming from the gravel. I suspect algae since it seems to disappear (being eaten maybe?) but I do not know for sure.
