Hi, I have black beard algae, and it's horrible. I have already cut back on light and feeding, so I don't know what else to do... I have a 100 gallon tank with Gold Severums and blood parrots in it also a catfish and a plecostumus. I was wondering if there were any fish that could live (without being eaten) that could eat the black beard algae. Thank you lots! I also have a 20 gallon tank with barbs in it that has black beard algae.

It wont eat its food. All it does is lay sideways at the bottom of the tank and breathe. It has been there for three days now. What should I do? I got it about a month ago and I was feeding it tropical fish flakes, but then switched to feeze dried worms.

Its been about a year since I've established my tank. From last month, I've gotten an algae bloom. I noticed that during the day, a ray of sunlight shines as if swiping the whole tank as the sun rises. I tried using chemical liquids to get rid of it but, kept on coming back. I want to put nice decors in but they all turn out to be stained with algae... =( My guess is to put a cover around the tank to block any sunlight. But, im wondering how other people get their tank to be so crystal clear w.o algae

Yeah, I did what I gripe about. Oops. Sorry:(
Anyway, I went to the LFS to get some treatment for my tank with ich, and while perusing saw the cutest teeny tiny Yo Yo loach. The LFS here (its the only LFS here) is tiny and they hardly ever have any kind of loach, let alone a cute little one like a yoyo....so....I got it:P

I put it in my tank and he seems to be doing fine (he's in the tank that *doesnt* have ich! I promse! Im not that reckless!) But is there anything I need to know? The LFS said having just one is fine, but now Im finding sites that say they need to be in groups like clowns. Do I need to go see if I can snag their last yoyo so I can have 2?

Any help you can offer me on this loach would help.

BTW: he's in a 28 gallon lightly planted tank with several mollies and platies (about a dozen or so total) and a 4-5in pleco.

I have a 30 gallon tank, with two african cichlids. One is a sunshine peakock, and another is a yellow lab. Each of them are about 4-5 inches long, and the yellow lab is acting strange. Like it won't eat, and I notice below the mouth there is a lump thing, as if it has something big in it's mouth. The other cichlid is acting perfectly fine. Thank you for helping.

I have 2 platys and one is pregnant. how am i supposed to divid the tank . its only a 5 gallon. if i get a divider should I put the mother on the side without the filter so the babies wont get sucked up. and then after there born should I take the mother out of that side and put it on the other side with the 3 other fish. And what do I feed the babies? and what do i use to divide the tank? please help me. or should i just get a small seperate tank at petco to put the babies in. please answer a couple at least if you know them. thank u so much.

Why ask fish questions? when you are ignorate and frankly dont care about the correct answers, but rather than getting the answer u want.

I find it funny how a person who can basically STEAL info and paste links can get best answers.

I think alot of us TC dont get enough credit and frankly if you want BSanswers then continue what your doing. But Then stop come crying to us when your fishes are dieing.

If your wondering what got me so PO is this one i answered.

Do you honestly think i have an motive and are trying to give u wrong adivse so you will buy a fish tank....

Nothing i said in there was false. Go look it up if youwant.
To be honest. if your not humble... Then how can u ever learn about fish.

My question to everyone is: do you not care about your fish enough to get it the tank it needs? I guess i made the sizes up.....

I have a common pleco who is about 3 in long. It will not eat! I have tried every veggie under the sun and algae wafers. All which are ignored except by my apple snail. I don't know what else to do... I know they are nocturnal but it never seems to be off of the glass!

Two fish in a fifteen gallon acquarium, how often do you feed them? They are always ravenous and getting pretty big.
