So i just went ahead and returned the fish. The manager at the fish store said all sorts of things. He didn't seem to think anything was wrong with the fish when he sold it to me but agreed that its head was kyboshed. He asked me about my tank. After i tell him how i run my tank he tells me that...

Yea i am using test strips. I'll get rid of them and grab the good stuff. And i'll get some sand for them and some wood. I keep the temperature prtty high... around 82°-84°F. but a few days ago it fluctuated a bit. the heater is poor quality and i am just going to buy a new one to make sure the...

thanks a lot. That explains it. I got it under 350watts. How much light and is optimal? I have a question about the rooting of this plant... i want to know how deep the roots go and if 2" of gravel is too much for the roots to penetrate. BTW i don't syphon th gravel; can i continue to get...

OK so i am getting more and more worried as time goes by. Here are some pictures.

No problem.As stated above my tank read at 15ppm for General Hardness. My tap water here(toronto) has a GH of 145ppm. my tank is very soft via softening pillow. I usually let it get a little harder and put the pillow in before i want to breed(to signify the rainy season)

What? is that greek or something? I didn't know i was supposed to keep them with sand.. but i was going to get a piece of wood when i go to return him, so i'll pick up a bag of sand too i guess. Just the normal white sand will do? or do i need anything special. Also i am trying to breed. is...

Take it back. I, personally would pay extra for the piece of mind that my fish are in good condition. Pop eye is a *****, and kinda hard to get rid of IMO. If the eye was damaged... it might fall out, or it might permenently clouded over. I think the eye healing is the rarer of the...

Well the problem looks to be getting worse. The reason why i am asking is because a friend of mine got a pair of Gold Rams form the same store(most likely from the same breeder), and he lost both rams to similar ailments. Now this is happening to the new one I got. I'm just kinda pissed off at...

i think over feeding piranhas make them more likely to kill other fish.

what kind of plant is this, and why is it growing so low to the ground?

So, I got some blue rams for lfs a week ago or so. The were pritty much full grown when bought them. Now one of them, a male, has lost some coloration and has become increasingly aggressive to the other smaller rams in the tank. I have also noticed some strange scratching up against objects...

Unfortunately the opportunity to remove the remaining eggs has past. There were fish in the tank but when i put the rams in i took everything out. Including the pleco and plague-snails(which i crushed) I have a couple of questions. In your opinion, what are the chances that my eggs were...

Hello all. I am new to this forum. Nice to meet all of you. So, about a week ago I obtained a fully mature pair or gold rams. I put them in a 20gal tank with black gravel and a few fake plants. I decided to put in a few pieces of red slate rock for them to lay eggs on. This is my first...
