I just got these fish today (didnt really notice anything when i bought them) I used a drip method to acclimate them to the tank. Now that they are in there im noticing white spots mostly around the mouth and some on their bodies.

What could this be & how do i treat it???

BTW>>>..they are small Red Morrow Tetra's. I have 6 of them in a 10 gallon tank with live plants that came from another aquarium.

I just got new gravel, a live plant and because of poor quality stock and I know I am supposed to do a fishless cycle. How long should I do a fishless cycle for? I have my filter running and all of supplements added in (e.g. bio additives, clhorine remover, plant food) What is the best way to do a fishless cycle? The tank is only for 1 goldfish

I bought the "master test kit" for $35, and after doing all the tests, I washed them out and laid them on the counter to dry. A little while later, I walked past and managed to knock all of them on to the floor, where they all shattered.

So, now I have all these chemicals, and no test tubes. Anyone know where I can get just the tubes?

Thanks!

Every time you change your filter your tank has to mini-cycle, right? How do you avoid that? I just changed out my filter and the tank is cloudy again. It was crystal clear but it's been like this for several days. I did a 30% water change and gravel clean on Monday night and will probably do another one tonight. But, am I gonna have to have a cloudy tank for days every time I change my filter? And how often should I change my filter? I don't change the sponge thing in front of the filter - just the filter. Am I doing it wrong?

I have a fiddler crab and some red claw crabs- the fiddler i've had just over a year (Was of the understanding they only live a year- doing well!) and he shed his shell soon after I got him, and hasn't since.
The red claws, I have never seen shed... Does anyone know how often on average they shed their shells?

So I just bought a heater for my 20 gal aquarium, but the the instructions suck. Its one those heaters that are tube shaped and have suctions to stick to the tank. Do I leave it on all the time, because I held it in my hand to make sure it work and it got really hot, and I dont want to boil my fish. Do I unplug and replug it, or does it keep the temp appropriate for me?

I monitor the water closely, the temp and the nitrate/nitrite/chlorine/hardness/ammonia/
alkalinity levels are all correct. But he continually has fin and tail rot and pop eye. I really don't know what to do any more. Help? I can't get RID of them. I've tried all of Mardel's products, copper safe, maroxy, antibiotics, adding salt. Nothing seems to work!

I heard changing all the water is challenging, so I would like to take some water out and put clean water in... the problem is : DO I USE TAP WATER? should I boil it first to kill bacteria?... please help, I'm concerned since one of my KOI died yesterday and I noticed the water is pretty dirty.

By acclimate i mean take a cup of my water and put it into the stores and wait like 5 min and do it for an hour.

I have a male red blonde guppy (its white with an orange tail) and I wanted to get 2 or 3 females to breed it with. What color females should i get? Is it possible to get a specific color if the male is orange (if I wanted to get green or blue fry, does the mom's color help determine it)?

The same person who told me to crunch up the fish flakes also said that feeding algae pellets to my pleco would gunk up my 10 gallon tank. Is that true? I mean they obviously didn't know what crunching up the flakes would do.

That is what i have....i've been very happy with it because it is under the water and it does not make noise at all.

At first I had an emperior then tried an whipser but both had the waterfall effect which was very annnoying since my tank is in my bedroom.

anwways, i think the fluval is very good especially for my 40 gallon tank. (the fluval 4 plus works up to 57 gallons) it is also not very expensive at all i got mine for 50 bucks.

i change 1 out of 2 pads every week and insert a new carbon pad every 2 weeks and the water manage to stay clear.

anyone else with a fluval 4 plus filter or fluval filter?

what do you think of them?

thanks

My Betta fish is really shy. He hides whenever anyone comes near. When I feed him, he's not interested and dos'nt eat much. Is there something wrong?

I've never had plecos before so I didn't know that I was supposed to wait for about 1 month before putting them in my tank. I asked a fish person at the pet store what I should do to make sure it gets food until there is algae to eat. I was told to finely crunch up the fish flakes so they would sink to the bottom of the tank and the plecos could eat. Well, I did this and now my clear tank is cloudy and has been for a full day. I have a filter, but it's not helping the cloudiness. What should I do and how should I do it?

Ha got ya, who ever clicked on that question and wanted to answer yes, YOU ARE WRONG

Bettas are NOT happy and healthy in a bowl or in a 1 gallon tank

It's your responsibility to your fish to get at LEAST a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter for your betta

There is no truth behind that, that a betta is happy in little bowl?!?!?!

Would you like to be confined to a space of 2X2???
Don't think so

Remember one thing, you're going to cut down your betta's life to about 2 years if you're lucky

But if taken proper care it can live up to 7 years!!!!!

So what would you reather have, a happy and healthy betta or one that has a short expected life because of your iresponsibility?????

Voice your opinions
Have fun
