    Aquascape ideas

    I'll take any input I can get. My current tank is in a spare bedroom but this new one is going to be in the living area. I want it to be something people see and like, not some boring, dull tank. I even researched plants that are native to both parts of the world my fish will be from haha...

    Aquascape ideas

    Hello all, I'm in the planning stages of a new tank. I'm most likely getting a Waterbox 30 gallon. I'm going to have corydora and pseudomugil rainbows. That's what I currently have but will expand.. I have an idea where I want the sand to slope on one side or or back corner. Like my current...

    Which species of pseudomugil

    Thanks! I have both Gertrude and paskai. So either way, she'll be happy now. I was so excited when I saw the tank of gutrudes at my shop (shark reef in Tucson AZ). I remember being mad that I bought a guppy that wasn't a guppy, but she became one of my favorites, even being so simple. The...

    Which species of pseudomugil

    Hello, anyone able to identify this female? It's a pseudomugil but unsure what species. I'm pretty sure it's a spotted blue eye (Gertrudae). Bought her a while back (as a female guppy) haha pretty soon realized it was not. After months of looking my shop finally got some in for added 3 more...

    Tank upgrade

    Hello all, I think I'm finally ready to upgrade my tank from a 10g to a 29g, I think it will greatly help me keep the water parameters under control. And give me more plant/fish options. I plan on it becoming a love plant corydora/ rainbowfish pseudomugil tank. With a pleco. I currently have...

    Red neon blie eye pseudomugil

    I got them appx a week ago. They had the 3 and were getting more so I took them, they all looked fine to me at the time. I did a salt treatment approximately a month ago, I'm pretty sure i followed the instructions you gave ti another person. Would UT be bad to do it again so soon? It worked...

    Red neon blie eye pseudomugil

    Good evening, I bought 3 paskai pseudomugil rainbows last week. I think they are red neon blue eye phudomegil. Maybe same fish? But that's besides the point. Two of the 3 are doing great, swimming thought the tank, getting food, all that good stuff. But one seems droopy. Most of the time he...

    What is this?

    My plants and even rocks all have this on them. Not sure what it is. Like a clear build up. Anyone know??? Fresh water aquarium with sand, live plants. Nitrites 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrates apps 20 or a tad more. Doing a water change now. But this stuff looks weird. Algae? Fungus?

    Help identifying and removal?

    Thank! I'll give that a shot. I thought more light for the plants but 12 hours seems a lot now that I'm thinking. My idea was pretty much sunrise to sundown. Would you gradually reduce the time? Like 1 hour at a time for a few weeks each?

    Help identifying and removal?

    I'm not sure exactly what range my lights have with my lights. They are led though, white. I have the 20 gallon top fin kit. Worked well so far. I think I might leave lights on too long. Probably from 7am to 7pm. The plants are all growing well. Especially the pkats with broader leaves.

    Possible ich... single white spot on fin

    She has been bothered a little bit by another platy as she has got more pregnant. I wonder if that caused a little injury to her?

    Possible ich... single white spot on fin

    Hi, while checking in on my fish today (mainly my pregnant platy) I noticed a white pot on her tail fin. She was also rubbing it on the sand/plants. A couple days ago I had. 25 nitrite level but after a couple water changes thats fixed. Amonia and nitrate are good. Not sure if it's ich or...

    *URGENT* PLEASE HELP NITRITE/AMMONIA SKPIKE

    Yeah I think it was really planting the plants that disturbed something. I’m hoping the roots start to go and that is supposed to help it in the future. I did a 70ish percent change this evening and waited about 15 mins, checked and the levels are looking really good compared to the morning. I...

    *URGENT* PLEASE HELP NITRITE/AMMONIA SKPIKE

    Early on I went from gravel to sand. I have about 2-2.5”. With the sand I just hover the top. But when I was planting my live plants I was digging in there, with the root tans also. That might have caused a problem with dead spots I think they are referred as. I have 4 corys and 4 swimmers...

    *URGENT* PLEASE HELP NITRITE/AMMONIA SKPIKE

    Did a big change. Used some conditioner as normal. And some safe start based off other research. Pretty small amount. Numbers look a lot better. I’ll check it in the AM and go from there
