    (Sorry if it's bad quality, there's algae on the walls. But that's not the main point I want to discuss.) There is this brown ball floating in my fish tank. It's not sitting on the decor; it's floating in the middle of the water. I have no idea what it is. The last time I added anything new to...

    Anacharis/elodea

    Hi, I was just wondering if you have to plant Anacharis or if I can leave it floating. I donā€™t have enough substrate at the bottom to plant it right now, itā€™ll just float up. Should I get more substrate and plant it? Thanks!

    What is wrong with my Oscar?

    s/he has been acting strange lately, something is obviously wrong but I canā€™t figure it out. Weā€™ve tried dosing the tank with Melafix, salt, general cure, but nothing seems to work.

    Why is my (soft) tap water becoming hard in the tank?

    New to this and new tank - after weeks of prep, finally have neon tetras in. Testing the water, all seems fine except for the water hardness, which is measuring at the hardest on the scale (180). We tested our tap water and this had a very soft measurement (20). We now have a new tank filter...
