Hey guys, so I just noticed that my 11 neon tetras have what I believe to be neon tetra disease, I have quite the big tank (heavily planted)I don't see them often, some of them in advanced stages (big mouth tumors, slightly curved spines) can it spread to discus or angels ? I don't have a...

Finally someone with good knowledge, thx a lot man, mine are again doing the same thing, but now I know it's normal, I just find it weird I never noticed it before

Like I said if you had read the thread, I know what I'm doing and I've done it multiple times as a business, I had just never seen this behaviour, food every 2 hours is totally fine and I never had any complaints, only when feeding twice a day... They're too small in too warm of an environment...

This morning they were all fine, swimming freely and independently, maybe it happens only during the night, I'll look for this behavior again tonight and post an update to see if it really is that.

I don't have the possibility to that right now, but I can try and say it another way, so here it is, they're in a tank by themselves at 80degrees, they're past the wiggler stage (trust me, I know) and they've suddenly clumped together as if they went back to that sticky wiggler stage, yesterday...

yes I remove them from the tank as soon as they turn into wigglers, or as soon as mom moves them out of place, to minimize loss, it just seems really odd, could it be they´re sleeping position? I mean on previous litters they just they lay there spread out, never seen them all together in clumps

thanks for the help man, but regarding fish fry, daily water changes are needed, because u need prestine water quality since theyre so fragile and you´re feeding every 2 hours, so water gets dirty quickly, like I said ive done it before many times and never had this happen, but thanks a lot :))

hey guys, so today I got home and my 2 day old (freeswimming for 2 days) fry were all balled up in small groups, yesterday was not the case, everyone was swimming nicely and lively, the temperature was at 78.8 and usually is at 79/80 is it because of the temperature? cause its the onyl thing I...

First of all, your tank is beautiful, and those are exactly the plants I'm talking about, and I have some other cryps in my aquarium and those fair relatively bad also, very slow growers, very small leaves, and the tank is always at 82 so maybe I'll have the same problem with usteriana, thx a lot !

hello everyone, i´d like to know if anyone as experience with this type of cryp with discus (meaning the higher temperature of the tank, around 27,5 celsius), i have jbl manado as substrate and also dose tropica ferts (both the green with nitrogen, and the brownish one without it), and have root...

hello everyone, i´ve successfully bred my angelfish, and the babies that I have now are penny size (not counting fins) and already start to show some colour, how soon or at what size can I put them in the community tank? Tank contents- The angel parents (female fully matured at around 15 cm fin...

well guys, this has been a reocuring problem, When i first gor into discus i had a group of 3, a week later i bought 2 more, one of those acclimated fine and is now all good, the other on was just bullied to death, and I´m havinh the same problem with the fish I recentently bought to replace...

what do you mean by "male" nerite, they´re hermafrodites mate, you always get both no matter how many you buy, my chinese algae eater used to eat those eggs, he was biiiigg thats probably why, the only way you can get rid of em is finding something that eats them, or get rid of the nerite and...

yeah well the thing is, esha has previously stunted my plants badly (with half dosage), and its only one discus, the other 4 are just fine,and he is too !! he just dont swim right but he eats like a pig abd swimms with the others, I have kuhliis which dont have scales, and esha can be harsh on...

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could soak the fish food in esha 2000 and then give to them as a way of not having to treat the whole tank, since I only have one fish that´s sick, and I have a ton of plants, clams and snails? I dont have a quarantene tank and the fish are discus, one of em came...

The fish hasn't eaten for 4 days.. Maybe dropsy?

The title says it all, this guy is absolutely enormous, he won't eat, moves a bit but otherwise lethargic, doesn't float upside down or anything, but I just need some help on what it would be

Is there any non Eletric option? With a tap or something, I'm just out of plugs rly, I don't want to fry the output

Yeah I got you mate thanks, and what about the regulator, I had never seen one before, you have to plug it in?? It uses electricity or those are just the fancy ones? And the fitting, is it universal? Meaning I can just buy what I choose and it'll fit?

thats amazing, thanks yall, is it okay if the FE is expired ??

As it says in a title, I recently came across this, and I saw a guy using a C02 F.E. to supply C02 for his tanks, is this really a thing? I mean is it safe for the fish since there could be some residues or something... ??? Or is it the same?

He ain't sick neither has any patches or wtv, he just doesn't eat very much

Yes the discus is much bigger, and it's the only one not eating

I watched several breeder videos who used the peel with no problem, And in case y'all want to know I saw him munch on a few pieces which then he spat out, although I think he ate one or two worms, I don't know if it was the peel or not but he freakin ate, after the peel was in for 2 hours... So...

Well Colin I'll have to disagree when you say a fish can go "months" Without eating, they don't have has much reserves as a snake has for example, a few weeks maybe 3 at max and if they're adult, which is not the case, that's why I'm worried, he's belly is not concave either which I would assume...

There's nothing wrong with the fish you point out, they've been living together for over 2 years now not even a single fin bite, they're all fine and none of them are stressed, the angel and the gourami even school together, the issue is the big discus fish which won't eat much, he has to be...

I haven't tried feeding live just because I don't have access to anything at the moment, only fruit flys but those don't sink... I don't think that's the problem because they were eating pellets at the place I got them from, Water chemistry is about the same as long as ph and ammonia goes, and...

But it's the big guy who's supposedly not eating, he's alive I mean, he has to be eating something.. I just don't know what to do, everyone else eats in front of me

Hi everyone, as you can see in the title I have a discus fish that's not eating, or at least I don't see him eating, here's the deal- I got the fish a month ago as of today, along with 3 others, the guy that's not eating is about 8cm and the others are about 4, the smaller one's eat just fine...

thx a lot mate, very helpfull cheers

sry for the latye response, im not rly sure, i dont remember the name, and im not at the house where the fish is at, I´ll tell you tomorrow, what I can tell you is that it leaves the water fluorescent green, super cool, but i opted for that bcse the fish was already super thin and I didnt notice...

Title says it all, my pleco got fin rot, I quaratined it and medicated for 3 days (follwed the box instructions) but now that the treament is over what should i do? I´ll keep it in quarantine till it recovers, but should i do a water change ? or should I put carbon in the filter to remove the...

Hi guys, I have kind of a problema here, my tap water has a I just recently discovered is acid (6.5) and once I put it in the tank over the time it only tends to become more acidic, how can I rise the ph to neutral? (since water changes wont help) i read somewhere online that I could put baking...

might as well build them yourself, or just scan craigslist and similars constantly. Try and talk to your aquarium shop to see if they have any that are broken, that just need fixing, they´ll probably sell it cheaper

yo dude, what are those cool floating plants with those massive roots???

but isn´t the fertilizer that it is not being consumed by the plants, consumed by the bactéria?

thanks a lot guys

The title says it all, should I dose the fertilizer (sera florena, liquid) weekly or daily? I just feel like putting that much fertilizer at once wont provide the plants well enough, or at least not consistently troughout the week, wouldn´t it be more efficient dividing it and do it daily? Any...

Thank you very much

I recently caught a few tadpole snails from a fountain near me, I wanted to know if they can carry any parasites that could potentialy harm the fish in my aquarium (I do know they carry parasites as all animals), and if so, how can I quarantine them. Thanks a lot
