Someone suggested masking tape, but I don't have any on me at the moment. I may go fetch some. But..does placing a layer or two of printer paper between the glass hood of the tank and the aquarium light cause a fire hazard? I've toutched the bulb and it doesn't get very hot. There's about a 1 inch clearance between the bulb and the paper.

Is it this safe and okay?

This was the first time i had fish and didnt cycle the tank.
The fish had black spots and white scratches all over.
I thought they were dead,because they were all lying in the bottom.
I asked how can i keep the fish alive and one answered my question and told me to add more methylene blue and my fish got better.(whoever you are,thanks)

2 months after i added a fish i caught fishing in a river in bataan (which is in the philippines,i am from the philippines btw) which is called by the natives "biya" which is a bottom dweller and does not swim a lot.it is about 3 in.

I've think i did a good job in this tank as i never had problems since the first month.
I feed them twice a day.
there are currently 3 red parrot fish,1 yellow parrot fish and 1 "biya".
i clean the whole tank every month.
-removing everything and rinsing it with waterr,adding methylene blue and 2 other liquid which i forgot the name.

tell me advices in keeping the tank,btw...am i having a good job?

i filled a 16litre bucket with water last night, left it over night to turn to room temp, then this morning i put some destresser/conditioning in it. i then removed the same amout of water from the tank, and filled it with the clean water! my tank mesurements are L92cm W32cm H38cm. so i think it was about a 20% water change. i was jus wondering weather i'd done this right? this is the first time ive cleaned my tank out as ive had it just over 3weeks so i really am new to all this.
also the other thing is some of my fish are showing signs of ich, ive only had them a week. but should i be donein a 20% water change every day ? aswell as the ich treatment ive got?
please help as i dont want my fish to die. thanks

I have a 55 gal. tank w/ 7 tiger barbs, 3 denison barbs (aka roseline shark), 1 red-tail shark, and a spotted pleco. I'm thinking about moving my 4 dwarf gouramis into this tank, but not sure if they'll get along with the tiger barbs. The gouramis are bigger than the barbs, but I've heard about the fin-nipping, etc. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

We have a fresh water tank and we have been having trouble identifying and killing this white fungus that has been growing on the rocks and decorations. We have changed the water again and again, removing all of the plants, decorations and rocks. We scrub everything and stabalize the water and in a week it is back. We have an expensive filter, bubblers, and a jet for the size of our tank. We can't figure out what we are doing wrong. We have neons, molis, blood fins, glass fish and a pleco. The pleco isn't interested in the white cottony stuff so that makes me think it is a fungus rather than an algae growth. The fish seem healthy and happy and we haven't lost any in a while so I don't think they are at risk, yet.

Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be or sugestions how to control this growth? Thank's in advance for the info.

My roommate just got a new betta and didn't eat for the first few days so she began a medicine treatment of Splendid BettaFix Remedy. Today it began to get a white film on it and since noon today it began to grow around him (almost like a fungus or mold) and continues to grow rabidly over it's whole body. It's back is covered in patches of it and began to spread quickly. In the past 30 minutes it spread to it's gills and face area. Noon was 12 hours ago. It's breathing is heavy and we have put rock salt in the bowl, along with Quick Cure used for ick. What is going on with this fish? She got it just less than a week ago. Also her other fish is showing small signs of it. His breathing is also very shallow. We really need some help with this! What it is and how to cure it. It showed no signs of this at Petsmart. Thanks...

I currently have a freshwater aquarium but struggle to easily clean some parts of the filter because they are innaccessible to my fingers or my q-tips i currenly use to scrape the intricate parts of it.

I'm looking for one of those scrub things that look like my metal rod with soft spikes around it. Anyone have a link to an online store which features those or an idea on what else I could use?

Thanks!

Ok, so I bought my little spotted puffer fish a month ago and he's so adorable! I love him! I did my research and feed him once a day 6 days a week, but suddenly yesterday, HE STOPPED EATING!!!OMG! he use to be a pig and now all he does is lye on the bottom and basically sulk. I cleaned the tank 3 days ago and moved his plants around, I have a filter, air pump, its a 5 gal tank and he's in it alone except when he's fed. I feed him store bought fish and he usually inhales them but right now there are currently 3 yes 3 LIVE fish in the tank with him and he doesn't care?!!?!?!?! WTF? His underbelly is greyish so I treated the water, theres the correct amt. of salt, I tried different foods, nothing, so I bought these dissolving disk things for disease and my question is WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY FISH!! I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE! HELP!!!

I have a lovely baby plecostomus that I'm introducing into a larger tank in a day or so, and I was wondering what some potential predators might be? I wonder because I'm also using this baby for a project displaying a food web. I haven't found too many tropical predators. I suppose I don't really know what to look for. Maybe you could help me? Remember they're warm-fresh water fish, so that rules out most sharks and giant gold fish.
