    Water too warm. Inaccurate thermometer?

    Background: I just purchased this 5.5 gallon tank kit and began cycling today. I've used quick start, stress coat, and a bit of fish flakes. The filter, heater, and thermometer are installed, but only the filter is plugged in for now. I rinsed and added black sand, and the tank is filled...

    Question about Betta fish

I heard it would be best if I fed the loaches at night with the lights off because they are most active at night plus my betta would eat most of their sinking pellets before they do if i fed during the day. However, if i did...

    White Spot on Betta

    Hello all, I am a bit worried about a white spot I spotted on one of our little guyā€™s scales. Any idea what it could be? Iā€™m worried it could be the start of ick but worry about starting treatment without knowing the cause. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Weird white algae

    a small amount of white fuzzy looking algae has started to accumulate on some of my plants and around the intake of the filter. I recently re-aranged the plants and rocks to better suite the fish and Iā€™m just wondering if this might be the cause, any help is appreciated

    Hello! I was feeding my neon tetras this morning when I saw that one of them (the smallest) had gotten a black tinge on the top of it's dorsal fin. It's been nipping at the other tetras frequently today, and the days I've had it before it was rarely doing so. Is this normal with tetras, or is...
