I have a glofish aquarium 25 gallons and about 15 fish, Tetras and Danios. I have done everything suggested except changing the lighting. I have 2 strips of white and blue LED's. I have been thinking about either eliminating one strip of lights, or taping up some of the white lights, but I'm not...

Hello, I have had nothing but problems with algae in my aquarium. None of the over the counter algae killers work. My aquarium is a glofish aquarium so I lined it with black construction paper and it got worse. I have hard green and soft brown algae. I have two plecos that try to keep it clean...

I always get some feeder gold fish to get the bio filtration cycling. They are very cheap and very "dirty", so they get the bacteria colony running very strong. i leave them in for about 6 weeks, then discard them to a local pond to live out their days. I have also had good luck with some of the...

Hello all. Just wanted to say thanks again. The tank is still without its decor so I can keep track of all the fishes. I was pleased to discover that three of my favorite Corys were still alive. I added 4 new albino Corys to the tank 2 days ago and they are all doing well. The ammonia levels are...

Thanks for the info Byron. AS far as having alot of years keeping fish, I just take it all with a grain of salt. When I ask ten people for opinions, I usually get ten different answers. For instance, water changes. Everyone now days say more is better. But ten years ago when I asked the same...

Kewl, I will cut back on the food as well. Also, the last couple corys were swimming at about mid tank and resting on the decotative "logs" like they knew the gravel is dangerous. Another thing to keep in mind is that this happened all of the sudden. One day they were fine, the next day they...

I also have not identified the white/gray fluffy sludge that is floating in the tank. There is an awful lot of it. It's too big to come in with the air through the air pumps. Is it possibly some kind of mold that is poisonous for the fish? Weird.

Well, I lot what I think was the last cory today. All these ideas are worth considering, but I keep coming back to the same thing. I have been keeping fish for about 38 years and have for the most part done it the same way. The only difference is the addition of air and using the stress coat...

Ok, that's a start. I should mention however that I have been doing the same thing for the past 14 years with NO problems, and my Corys have been the most trouble free of them all. Of those that have died, some where at least 8 years old, some a couple years, and a few I've had for a month or...

Also, temp was 82 degrees when this all started. I tried lowering to 77, but still lost another 4 fish after that. What is a healthy temp for a community tanks?

Hello all. I am new to the board. I have been keeping fish my entire life (53 years), So I have quite a bit of experience. However, I am having a problem with my new tank that has been set up for about 7 weeks that I have never experienced before. It is a community tank with a little bit of...
