I had this problem last week, and a few months ago. Most recently, my fully established tank just became cloudy one day. I woke up and there it was. It really made a mess of my tank. I changed 75% of the water and changed the filter and the next day it was clear again. The guys at the lfs...

I have a "school" of 12 ghost shrimp. They eat just about anything. They are excellent at detecting foor in the water and swarm out from under my java moss whenever I add flakes to the tank. They then scour the bottom for any bits of flakes that fall to the bottom. If you have bigger fish...

I recently added 2 pearl gouramis to my tank. I picked them up as a pair from my lfs. The female looks like she is full of eggs, however she has been acting strange. I never notice her eating, and she often sits vertically breathing from the surface. From time to time the male will nip at...

I cycled it with 5 danios. The water isnt cloudy at all, the bottom is just filthy. The danios didnt poop that much at all.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on their fins and barbells.

Ive been feeding them flake food once a day (to prevent overfeeding because the tank is relatively new, which I'll get to in a minute). Im pretty sure I dont overfeed, as all the food is gone in 30 to 45 seconds (i am underfeeding?). I have a 20 gallon tank (~75 liters) with smooth black...

I pur 4 coral platys in my tank over the weekend. My tank now looks like it needs to be vacuumed every 2 or 3 days! Are they always this messy? I really want to replace them with a school of neon tetras!

The other cory I have seems to have something there too, but its very faint. As long as they are acting normal Im not worried.

One of my corys has a white spot that looks alomst like a lump on his nose. I just noticed it yesterday. Could this be scarring from a piece of gravel? (although most of the gravel in my tank is smooth) I dont think its ich, as there is only one spot. Could it in fact be ich, or some other...

I have put salt in a tank 2 weeks ago when I had 1 cory (I have 2 now). I put in a tablespoon per 10 gallons, which is less than the tablespoon/5 gal. people usually do. It obviously didnt kill him, but I dont plan on adding any more salt after water changes. Anyway, the original cory seems...

Nothing is high. Ammonia is barely readlable at trace levels (i added some new fish the other day). Theres no algae in the water (ie. water is still crystal clear). The problem is with algae growing on stuff. Today when the lights were out i did notice that direct sunlight hits a small (Very...

Hi. I set up a 20 gallon tank a few weeks ago. This week I noticed a lot of algae growing on my plants (plastic) and gravel. The tank isnt in direct sunlight so I have no idea why its growing. I'm not sure what type of algae it is, but its very fine and hairlike, about 1 inch long.Does...
