Hi thanks for the replies, I believe it was fish poop- wasn’t moving when I turned off filter and bubblers.

Hi, Can someone identify if these are worms? If so should I be concerned?

Ok good info, will buy more plants/decor so it will have more hiding places.

Ok I appreciate the replies, I will increase the frequency of feeding. I was giving it a pleco wafer every other day , I figured it was getting enough from the tank algae and the uneaten food. Typically how many algae wafer should I be giving it?

Hello, I just wanted to know if these patches are normal on plecos? Should I be concerned?

I have have replaced the intake tube on my Aqueon quietflow 10 with a 0.5 inch PEX tube. I am thinking about inserting vinyl coated paper clip in the opening to prevent any fishes from getting sucked in— will this be fine?

How far down should filter intake tube be? Should it be at least halfway or should it be as close to the substrate as possible? ...Btw I have a HOB filter.

Ok I will go with PEX since it’s available in blue so it will blend in with my background. Typically how much distance should there be between the intake tube and substrate?

Is it better to adjust the airflow to have larger bubbles coming from airstone/ornament or are finer bubbles better ?

I have an Aqueon 15 gallon column tank and the provided Aqueon Quietflow filter 10 intake tube is too short so I would like to extend the tube. Which tube should I get - PVC or pex?

I have a tank with guppies and danios and I have some issues with algae. Can hydrogen peroxide be used to remove the algae? I have 3% hydrogen peroxide- so how much ml per gallon of tank do I add ? I have no live plants- will addition of live plants reduce algae growth?

thanks, can you tell if it’s a male or female from this pic?

I bought this from a specialty fish store as a bristlenose pleco but I was wondering if someone can confirm this?

Height 25 IN Width 13.75 IN Length 13.75 IN

Ok will pass on the rasboras , how about neon tetras?

How many rasboras do you recommend for my tank size?

Thanks for the suggestion, is there anything I can add to the aquarium water to increase the hardness?

Avg water hardness for my city is 26.4 ppm

Ok can you recommend another colorful fish suitable for my tank size? Water hardness is 26.4 ppm

Hello, Yes that’s the one . Tank size- 15 gallon column Not sure about the hardness

Hello, I am considering adding some new fishes to my aquarium that currently has 4 guppies and a bristlenose pleco. I am thinking about buying electric blue cichlids- is it ok to keep them alone or should I buy 2? Will it get along with my other tank mates?

Yeah I will leave it on all the time- I adjusted the airflow with the air control valve and now it’s not bad .... I also might just add another check valve for peace of mind .

We have been turning off the air pump at night since the bubblers are a bit noisy, that’s why I was concerned. Might just keep them on 24/7 to be safe.

Yes currently the set up is : air pump—-> air control valve—-> check valve——> bubbler ornament. My concern is that in the event of check valve failure the water will siphon out of my tank since the air pump is located under my tank in the cabinet. How likely are check valve failures? And...
