    cleaned tank and now plecos are dying

    Update: little pleco has resumed normal behaviors and seems to be okay. Thank you all so much for the help, I feel awful that I hadn't figured this out before I accidentally killed three fish but I guess that's my fault for buying a tank with fish already in it. I'll definitely be back with...

    cleaned tank and now plecos are dying

    okay I see how that would be different. Yes it is the one with the mesh bag. If there isn't any gunk in the gravel do I still need to clean it out it each week? Same question for the water: if the water stays clear do I still need to do changes? The filter that I have is the one that stays...

    cleaned tank and now plecos are dying

    I have a motorized gravel cleaner which I got from the lady who sold me the tank. I had to clean the gravel every week or two until I got this new filter from my aunt. I've had it in the tank for the past 4 months and haven't needed to clean the gravel at all. I know that the plecos need algae...

    cleaned tank and now plecos are dying

    So I just did a 50% water change in my tank and put in a new plant, rinsed the rocks and put in fresh water. I have quite a good filter and the silt from stirring up the gravel was gone within 30 minutes. I have 3 fish in the tank for the time being: a 4-inch goldfish, a 4-inch albino...

    What to feed my Plecos who won't eat green things

    So tonight the smaller pleco (the one which I'm not entirely sure of his breed) happened to be where I was actually able to get a good picture of him. Also, his tail is always inside a rock so I haven't seen that it is actually in bad shape. For context, I noticed a rip in the goldfish's fin...

    What to feed my Plecos who won't eat green things

    Hello all, I have one albino bristlenose pleco (4 in) and one (possibly) zebra pleco (3 in). 20-gallon tank. I didn't buy them so I'm not completely sure about the second one. They have grown quite a bit since I got them and their fins seem much healthier, but they are quite sluggish even though...

    Starting my first tank, no idea which fish to get!

    Thank you all for the information, this has been infinitely more helpful than the information I managed to find on my own. I have ordered some things and will test my water and hopefully get a tank and plants set up soon! I will update y'all on here before I buy fish though, once I figure out...

    Starting my first tank, no idea which fish to get!

    I will definitely order a test kit. What do I need to buy now in terms of equipment? We have cats so I definitely need a lid on the tank that fits with the filter so that's why I was thinking of buying the kit. Once I set up the tank, can I order snails as I start building up the tank's good...

    Starting my first tank, no idea which fish to get!

    I haven't decided on which tank to purchase yet as I'm seeing mixed ratings about filters and heaters that come in the packs. This is what I'm thinking of getting from a local pet store, is this a good deal for quality or should I purchase things separately? Top Fin® Essentials Aquarium Starter...

    Starting my first tank, no idea which fish to get!

    I'm thinking of starting with tetras, so which kinds should I get and how many If I do get tetras, what other species of fish could I add later? Also I know that I need to get snails and things first as tank cleaners and run the tank for a bit, what kind of snails should I look for and about...

    Starting my first tank, no idea which fish to get!

    So I have been looking around on the interwebs for the past three hours to no avail. I'm trying to figure out which kinds of fish (nano fish specifically) I can get for a 20 gallon tank. I've been seeing these groups of fish a lot: Guppies Tetras Gobies Cories My questions: -Which of those...
