I have only a few fish, guppys, neons, cory cats. 150 Gal tank with slate rock, gravel and sand. Live plants (one type, momo?) Fern like straight growing, 74" max. I had an issue with algae, first thin black then green then thick spongy green, now thin and thick green with the bearded brown on EVERYTHING.
Water test says, Nitrate is 0, Nitrite is 0, Hardness is 120ppm, Alka/Buff is 120ppm, pH is looking like 8.4, Ammonia is 0.
Ugh......Am I going Brackish?! What do I do. Add pHMinus? then what? I can buy fish,shrimp and plants for the algae issue as well as scrubbing, but dude, whats up with my water! Could extra conditioner help this? My main issue was and acted like Nitrate issues, but does not seem to be it.

I have seen this behaviour many times, both at the bird waterer and they will carry the feces to a puddle in the road and drop it in or near the water.

My three year old pored hand sanitizer in my fish tank this morning! I did not realize what had transpired for at least 10 to 15 minutes I took the fish out but I don't know if there is any hope, should I clean the tank and put them back right away or should I wait a few days to use the same tank again?

I got some fish in the pond and also in a tank in the house, and I was just thinking to myself the other day... don't they get bored?

I mean all they do is just swim around aimlessly in the same bit of water all day, the only other things being eating once a day and occasionally trying to hump each other.

Is that really enough to keep them amused? Or is boredom only a human trait?

My fish (I only own one) is surrounded by white stuff. I think his scales are shedding, but he's my first fish, so I'm not sure. There's also a long white strand (not the best description) hanging near his bottom back fin. Can anyone tell me if this is natural or if he's sick? What should I do if he is sick?

I woke up this morning at 8.00 am and my cat (female), who is usually miaowing at the conservatory door to be let in for her breakfast was curled up sleeping on the sofa in the conservatory. I shook her food box and she did not budge, even when I put the food in her bowl, she did not move. I picked her up and put her in front of the food and she would not eat it. She looked very down and no matter how much I fussed her I could not get a purr. The second time I picked up her she just growled at me. She can be a bit grumpy though sometimes. She walked into the lounge and went to her favourite chair and curled up looking very upset indeed. I put prawns in front of her and she actually got up, turned around on the chair and put her back to the food. It is now 2.45 pm the same day and she still will not eat food or purr. I have contacted the vets and told them that I will give her 24 hours and see if she comes around but until then, does anybody have any ideas what may be wrong?

I have a 2.5 gallon tank I started up about two or three weeks ago. I had a small bout of ich that I successfully treated last week with QuickCure. Now the surface of the tank has this fine, velvety cloud on top which I don't remember being there before. I put in a fresh filter bag. Am I just being paranoid or is there something I should be aware of. Thanks!

Hi, we are three 21 year old guys going to live in the City of London. We are wondering what pet - if any - would suit our lifestyle. We will be living in a flat, and all working similar hours during weekdays, so there may not be anyone in from morning till early evening. Any suggestions?
