I love Zebra Danios, always active and busy. The 10 I have in my tank never bother the other fish only each other. Always something to watch ;)

is going to an Aquarium show!

Thank you for your response. They may be harmless BUT squirmy worms in my tank make me very squeamish. :/ :X I'll be giving the tank specifically the gravel a cleaning and feeding less. Again thanks, I'm very happy that the planaria are harmless. :D

After a google search I belive it could be planaria. http://www.fishdeals.com/fish_diseases/planaria_white_worms/ Question though, just cleaning the gravel better will eliminate these critters? Will the salt hurt my fry?

Request Help Tank size: 2.5 gallon tank temp:78 degrees Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): no fishy symptoms. However I've see about three of these worm things. They are skinny white-ish clear colored or a reddish brown color, they squirm...

The roots were flexible and not all that healthy looking if you ask me. Most were brown and squishy. Comparing them to the Orchid's roots I grow above my fish tank they are pathetic, when I see brown and swishy on my orchid's I know the root is dying. Anyway, I'll keep the plant in the tank for...

I want to have a small sponge filer,,the kind attached to air hose. I have the pump and hose, but what kind of spong do I Need? I bought one for kitchen use, but it says not for aquarium use. I plan on keeping this small sponge in my 30 gallon and use it in my fry tank in a month. Thanks

No I couldn't see the root structure, but being curious I pulled it a part and took pictures. Putting it back after. The big scale pet store I bought it at has no idea what kind of plant it is, however their web site sells clumps of Mondo Grass for aquariums. Hense my thought it could be...

Having found Aquatic Eden blog, I think I my plant could be: "Mondo Grass" Ophiopogon japonicus - This is a bushy grass with dark green leaves. Can some one confirm this?

Greetings, So I was at PetSmart the other day and fell in love with this plant attached to drift wood. It just looks right. Now I am having second thought as I have no idea if it is an aquatic plant. Also my tank set up has mostly java fern and no CO2 or added nutrients. It's currently in...

Thanks everyone, however I don't think I have that heavily of a tank. Its blurry, but you can ID where the Java fern is. Any Idea as to why my nitrate and nitrite readings would be 0, I haven't done a water change.

Greetings, I"m running a fishless cycle in my 30gallon tank. It has java ferns planted in the tank. Question: Will my plants use the Nitrate produced during the cycle? Tonights water test resulted in both zero NitrItes(NO2) and zero NitrAtes (NO3.I thought this odd so I ran the test twice...

Tonights Update NitrIte= 5 (the test is at max) NitrAte = 5 Ammonia = .5

Thanks for the encouragement :) I'll keep posting.

I would try a bristle nosed pleco. I had one until ick destroyed my tank :-(:-(( . Or how about some zebra loach...they are a lot of fun to watch..... The Zebra loach interesting, and smaller then the clown loach - a possibility. Thanks

Thank you all for your opinions. My gravel is washed yard gravel granite/quartz type from a home improvement store. It doesn't look sharp and I didn't get scratches when I washed it. Sharp is a relevant term and at this time I don't want to risk it. I think I didn't phrase my question...

Greetings, I'm looking for suggestions for a bottom dweller fish for my 30 gallon community tank(16" deep by 36" long by 12" width). The tank is new and I am on the second week of fish-less cycling. I've got it set up with live plants(java fern) gravel, large rocks and afew plastic plants...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. I have my data in a spread sheet, how can I organized it to be less confusing? (is below better?) Yes I agree the last few days have been exciting, I don't have last nights data(it's on the white board next to the tank) I'll do an update after tonights test...

Greetings, I'm back into the fish world, having upgraded from 10 gallon tanks a few years ago to a 30 gallon tank (16" deep by 36" long by 12" width). I got the tank second hand, it came with filter, light, and heater. The filter is a cheap walmart hang on the back that holds two of the...

What a unique idea. I've got a large old beer brewing carboy (10 gallons) that would work great for. Thanks for the idea :)

Tolak- thanks a bunch, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone, I'm headed for the store :)

What size, length specifically, do danios need? My tank is 20 inches long by 8 wide by 12 high. I've definitely decided to nix the more fish idea, I pretty much thought as much.

Thank you everyone for your ideas. I think I'll go try and find a pre-made lid, I'll find one somewhere. The milk crate idea sounds great, we'll see what I come up with.

I bought a 10 gallon tank from Petco, but it dosen't have a lid. I bought a peice of plexi glass and cut it to fit my tank then my light sits on top of that. My problem is that the plexi glass is bowing in the middle. Also like most people money is tight. Does any one have any other solutions...

I'd like to add some color (fish wise) in my tank. My fancy guppies give it some but I was wondering if I could put a Swordtail or two in there with them. Tank stats in siggy Opinions appreciated :) Thanks

ohhh I found another one swimming in my tank!! :o I put them both in a round glass bowl, with some plastic plant to hide in. The tem is staying in the high 79+ degrees, i am slowly getting it up to 81-82. Do I need to put an air stone in the bowl?? What about changing/adding water? Do fry...

I just vacumed my tank and in the dirty water bucket I found fry...well I think that is what it is -_- I don't know.....what should I do with it... I know there is one, maybe more?? What do danio eggs look like?

;) Thanks everyone, I have given away my fish now. A freind has a 40 gallon tank and she was willing to re -home all of my fish together. B) I am very happy they could go together and not be split up. Anyway, my tank is empty of fish. I scrubbed and cleaned everything in it and refilled it...

Moved from Emergency page: Severe Fin rot, HELP almost dying, tail fin gone, treating melafix 3 days I need new fish in my tank, the ones I have don't work. So what can I get other then Betta's. I am a college student and love my fish tank. No afence to anyone but I don't like betta's and would...

Thanks Inchworm for clarifing the fish thing, I quite get it. So I need a different kind....Oh but I love my barbs, and the danios too. They chase eachother, and I havn't noticed any fin niping. They have been eating and acting normal during this whole ordeal. I presume they are healthy. No...

Okay, Thank you everyone for your good and quick advice. I am so glad I stumbled across this forum the other day. B) :( Sadly my tiger didn't make it though the night :rip: I'll get the new tank as possible being a college student it could be a while :sad: Walmart has 10 gallon tanks for...
