I've had my 2 bala sharks since December and they have grown little to none. For the longest time I fed them only flakes. I'm new to this. About three weeks ago, I started feeding them bloodworm. I ussually feed them bloodworm on monday,wednesday, and friday. I feed them flakes on the other...

I just got some tetra bloodworms. Im feeding my fish flakes too, but how often should I feed the fish bloodworms? :hyper:

I went ahead and got it. It works on many things so I'm glad I got it, thanks for your help. :D

I'm debating right now whether to go get some medicine. The actual eye does not seem to be dislodged but the lens or clear covering that look like a half globe almost is bigger than the other. Would it hurt them if i treated them for it and they did not have it? Do you know a site with any...

I just noticed it today. His left eye is fine but is right eye is pretty big. Lens is sticking out noticably. Is this a problem and what should I do?

I have had my 10 gallon tank stocked for eight weeks now. The first five weeks I fed my fish every other day to keep the ammonia down. I did not do anywater changes until the 5th week, upon which I have started to do them weekly at 20% and I feed my fish every day now. My tank is stocked with...

I have had my light on constantly since I got the tank. Should I turn it off at night? More than that? :thumbs:

Although I have a plec, every week I have an alarming about of algae that I have to scrape off. The last two weeks I have changed 20% of the water every friday. Is there anything else I can do to tone down the algae? Should I change the water more often?

I have two bala sharks and have had them for six weeks. I feed them flakes. Anything else I should be feeding them. Also, I have a plec and he hasn't eaten anything but the algae on the walls for 6 weeks. I tried to give him a algae disc a couple times but he never leaves the wall and the fish...

I have a plec in my tank but recently (last 2 days) I've noticed green and brown algae growing on my tank. Do I just need to get an algae scrubber and wipe it off once a week or whenever I need to ir what? :huh:

It has been three weeks since I started my aquarium. The the power filter reccomends to change the cartridge every 2-4 weeks. My tanks is still going through the cycling process. I figured I would change the cartridge in four weeks. I don't have an underground filter. I am going to wash the...

My plec has been attached to the walls for a good six days now. I gave him an algae wafer yesterday, he didnt eat it so I took it out today, 24 hours later. Is there enough algae that he doesn't need to eat anything else right now? Probably not an emergency but I'd appreciate if I could get...

Vote now!

My tank w/ fish now is only 4 days old, as the fish before them died. I believe they died of lack of oxygen and too much amonia from excess food. I have learned alot since then, I think, but I was wandering when exactly I needed to start changing part of the water in my tank since it's going...

Thanks, one more question. I have two bala sharks and a plec all in a ten gallon tank. They are very small and seem to love it but how big will they get before their growth is stunted, at which point I will get a bigger tank or give them to a friend? Thanks, Chandler

I've got a place to put them.

Im cycling my take right now so I wont have to do a water change for about a month or so, atleast thats what guy told me. When you do a 10 or 20% water change do you leave the fish in there or what do you do with them. It would be kinda hard to do it with the fish in there. Im a newb, but you...

Ok thanks for the information. When would you recommend to cahnge the filter?

I have my new 10 gallon tank going and I have 1 plec. and 1 Bala Shark. I know that they recommend keeping them in groups but since I just started I held back on getting another. Would 3 fish be too many? Any comments or recommendations would be great! :huh:

I recently bought a new power filter by regent. Except I forgot it didn't have a bio wheel when I bought it. Does it make that big of difference, is it ok? Instead of just reading this and looking, please respond. :crazy:
