The nitrates have been in that range for over 6 years and never had an issue with sick fish until the SAE's odd behavior over the past few weeks. We have well water so I'll test the water from the tap tomorrow and see if the nitrates are the same level. I also did my weekly water change so I'll...

I feed regular flakes for some fish, algae wafers for the algae eaters and snail cookies for the snails. I also put veggies in every few weeks as a treat

Just did the water test... PH 7.6 (my tank has been at this level for the past 6 years) Ammonia 0 Nitrate 40 Nitrite 0 Phosphate 0

I'm testing the water today before I do my weekly water change but these are the fish I have in the tank with him. He's been in the tank 3 years (found my receipt when I purchased him) He's been schooling with the the Rosaline Sharks since I got him so I'm not sure what's changed. None of the...

I will check the numbers again and report back to you. I've had him for over two years and in that time no new fish have been added and he's never exhibited this behavior before. It's been going on for several weeks now. His color would range from pale back to his normal dark coloring. He must...

Does anyone know what might be wrong with my guy? I've had him for almost a year and he lives in a 75 gallon planted and heated tank. Temp is 79 degrees. All water parameters are in the normal range. A few weeks ago he looked terrible! Pale in color and his eyes almost looked like they had a...

I'll see what I can do

Does anyone know what's going on with my Denison barb? The top of his head is turning white. I thought it was a fungus but it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides and follows the lines of the top of his head. Is it just a weird coloration forming? Not sure if you can get a good look except for...

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what's wrong with my son's betta. He was rescued from PetSmart 4 months ago and was a bit shy at first but came around after about a week. He ate, swam, pooped, etc like any healthy Betta but about three days ago he took a turn and I have no clue why. He...

Thank you. I was able to purchase a bunch ?

Morning ? I was wondering if anyone knew a good online source for nerite snails. I ordered 6 but they were so tiny when they came and sadly I lost some to an assasin snail. I thought I had gotten rid of all the assasins but I missed one. I need to order more but I need larger ones.

I'm definitely holding off until I get the floating plants to see if that helps. My one gourami has been shy since day one but I'm hoping having some hiding spots will help ?

I guess I should clarify that the bully gourami isn't so much of a bully but more of a opportunist. He doesn't necessarily go after the the other male but during feeding time he kind of lurks around the other one. It's kinda creepy lol I've on occasion seen him chase the other gourami but very...

So far the sharks have been very docile. I know this changes as they get older that's why I increased their shoal. I was told that by giving them a larger shoal they tend to stay within their own group and leave others alone. They occupy the bottom and mid tank while the Gouramis are up top. I...

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there? I need your advice.. I have a 75 gallon tank with a Bristlenose pleco, 2 rainbows, 8 Rosaline sharks (just added the 6 babies to the two adults last night) and 2 Pearl Gouramis. My issue is I have two male pearls (they were to young to sex when I...
