I am new to snails. I have a 50 gal aquarium that I have had for quite a while. All water levels are ok and the fish are doing fine. I bought the snail about 3 days ago and it sat on the bottom until today when it started floating around. I don't think it is dead because it doesn't smell bad but I wonder if it can attach to anything since it is floating.

I posted a question a few days ago about my angelfish (marble angels) and I said they had laid eggs and now all of the eggs are gone (they ate them) none hatched. Well there are these weird off white "things" alive and swimming around in my tank. At first they looked like lice? They are so tiny its hard to really tell what they are even with a magnifying glass. Well now they are taking the form of something that looks like a tiny tiny inch worm. (Again, very hard to tell even with a magnifying glass) They are crawling around on the glass, and the other form (looks like lice) swim around in the tank. One person said maybe it is a "Hydra"? i'm not sure since its hard to tell what these things in my tank look like. If they are Hydra, I thought someone said you had to have brine shrimp to cause this and I dont have any. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE HELPFUL.. Other than that I'm gonna try to kill the beasties before something happens to my fish who seem clueless.

I am a new fish owner and have a ten gallon tank. I have four fish and they are still alive and doing well. (two gouramis and two smaller fish) The smaller ones seem to be doing fine. However, one of the blue gouramis is acting extremely aggressive to the other. I think this may be a female because she has a slight bulge to her stomach and the male (I believe is a male) seems to be the one who is aggressive. He has the poor female stuck in the corner where she often sits. I have a smaller tank..... Not sure what size either 2.5 gallon or 5. After some careful reading a lot of articles I have heard the recommendation to separate so he does not kill her. Now I have a filter and a heater set up and all the decorations in the ten gallon tank. The questions I have are would a 2.5 or 5 gallon tank be a sufficient size for my female gouramis? And do I need a bubbler and what else may I need for the tank? Should I buy more fish for the tank as well? What fish would I buy?

All of my levels are good except for my PH which is 6.4 I had a problem with high PH (8.0) over a week ago and used PH decrease to help . I check my levels everyday and the 6.4 has stayed level for days now...also I did not drop it fast I did it gradually. I have a very sick goldfish with finrot, popeye and septicemia and a black moor with mouth fungus. I am treating with Maracyn2 and Melafix. I was wondering if I should us PH increase to try and get it up to 7.0 or if I should level it alone? My water out of the tap is 6.4, so unfortunatly water changes don't help here (with PH level ). I understand that keeping the water clean and healthy is the best thing I can do for the fish....what should I do about the 6.4? Also when should I start to see results from the meds? Can to many water changes be bad for sick fish? Thank you in advance for all your help

We have been trying to set up a new tank for the last month or so, and it was going pretty well until a big name pet store sold us a fish with ick. Between the ick and not yet having the water stabilized we lost those 2 fish.

On the advice of a "real" fish store, we kept the tank going for about 2 weeks treating for ick but with no fish. Then added 2 new "feeder" goldfish to try to continue the cycling. The ick showed up again - I treated (temperature rise, and salt), but lost 1 (who I think was sick already when we got it). the other recovered and seems to be doing great.
I continued checking the levels and doing partial water changes to complete the cycling.
We waited until the ammonia and nitrite levels had reached 0 and then today we added a new calico fantail - it has only been about 2 hours, but I am already seeing little white specks on its fins. Is is possible for ick to show up that fast? or is it something different.

Thanks
