identification

I’ve noticed two different things growing on the spider wood in my tank. These little black dots and the light colour stringy bits. I do have black sand which I initially assumed the black bits were but they look slightly smaller and darker than the sand. A lot of it is attached all around the...

Hey all, I just set up my first tank since I was a kid, and finally added fish yesterday. The pet store clerk sold me what they said are julii cats, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. Can anyone help me identify these guys? Very elusive, but active, likes to hide in cracks and under stuff, swims...

Does anyone know what type of Kuhli Loach this guy is? He's always just had a blue/grey body with no stripes. I've had him for over a year now and still unsure. He's very healthy and comes out to eat every day. Any thoughts?

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and I could use a quick help. I recently bought a pair of Cichlids from a local aquarium for 2$. The guy there didn't know what type of fish these are. Can you help me?

Hello! Just wondering if anyone has seen an endler like this before and if it has a name? It’s not a good photo, in real life it’s almost rainbow coloured with black markings. Tail fin is yellow/orange moving to pink / green on the tail itself, turquoise on the body with an orange stripe and...

Hi guys, so I picked up this tank today which came with these fish. Any help identifying them would be much appreciated. I bought this tank to rehouse my Angel fish as my other tank is 60l and too small for them when they grow so I need to know if these fish are compatible with them.

I posted a photo a few months back of my geophagus hoping to get an ID , they are starting to colour a bit more now with a red dorsal and yellow belly fins with dashes of green along the face and body so I’m re posting hoping now they can be identified more easily

Hi all, Looking to improve my plant health, thought the best way to start would be to get some help in identifying each. Water tests show co2 levels are good, light is adequate for easy-care plants, nitrates hover between 10-15 before water changes. I’ve ordered some flourish root tabs in case...

My last tank additions didn’t go so well so I’m looking at a pair of geophagus, that’s all they are labelled in the shop , I know there are many different types of geophagus but I can’t seem to figure out what type these are , any help is great

So I grabbed the last 3 of them from the LFS. And they were obviously not albinos though labeled as such the worker at the time sold them to me as albinos since he did not know what they were. This was a couple of years ago and 2 have died I want to get him a group but have not seen any like him...

Good day. I have this brown stuff- algae? Debris? on most of my plants and inside my canister filter and tubing. Help! What is it and what can I do about it? I have .... 20 gallon long tank with penn plax 500 canister filter with foam and sponge filter media. this week added fluval prefilter...

Hi one of my fish in my community tank recently gave birth to some fry. But currently I have two types of livebearers in the tank and I wasnt awake when the fish gave birth. Down below are the pictures. I have a few guppies and three Dalmatian Mollys and currently the fry are in a breeder box...

Hello, can anyone help me identify these fishes?

Can anyone tell me what type of rainbows and the sex (if possible)? I'm pretty sure the yellow one is female. I just added these today and everything is going very well so far.

I found the tree next to my house but never notice.

Can anyone help me to identify which is this fish?

The pleco has since died and I assume the other is going to be gone very soon. I haven’t had any luck identifying this but it seems to affect every fish in the tank besides the tetra which I’m not surprised cause those guys are known to be extremely hardy. Honestly expecting this entire tank to...

So, I joined the fish keeping hobby about a year ago. I started off with just bettas than tried a rainbow shark and danios(it didn’t workout well) so I moved on to an angel fish and guppies along with my bettas. My girlfriend however became interested in starting a community tank so we set up...

Hi I have 5 type of plant in my aquarium but there are two that I don't know the name so I would like some help to identify them. Here is the picture : also has anyone tried roobios tea in their tank because I would like to try it for the black water look? What are the benefit of black water?

I caught these really pretty fish in my local freshwater canals, being in Florida, I can’t tell if they are a sort of cichlid fry or something more common in Florida. I’m currently keeping 3 in one of my aquariums. If I could get some help identifying them that would be amazing!
