I have actually tried cleaning it several times, and while it helps a little bit, it doesn't help much. Trust me, this thing really needs to be changed, lol. I think I will try sticking the new one in the tank and see what happens (if I can even get it to stay underwater...I suppose I could set...

I only have a 10 gallon tank, and so I only have one filter hooked up to it. I have noticed the filter running a lot slower lately, and I believe it is due to the FILTHY filter insert. The thing is covered in a thick layer of who-knows-what. I would like to put a new insert into the filter so it...

Okay, I finally got a replacement for my spotted cory that died a month ago. A second spotted cory, we named Lucky. But ever since we put him in the tank (about 7 hours ago) he has been exhibiting abnormally hyper behavior. My other spotted cory likes to sit around a lot, not moving, except...

I have a spotted cory cat. I had 2, but one died on Christmas :( She seemed to have died of a mouth fungus of some sort, because she had white stuff around her mouth. But we never even knew she was sick until the day before she died, and it was too late to do anything! Anyways, I have been...

I am home with my family for the holidays, but I have a fish tank back in my apartment at school that was left in the care of my roommate (she knows how to care for them properly, I trust her). It is a 10 gallon with 4 danios and 2 cory cats. I cycled the tank properly before adding the fish...

sound like fun fish :) and that puppy in your profile pic is ADORABLE...what kind is he?

oh my gosh!!!! how much money do you spend on fish food a week?!?! that looks like a ton!

Okay, sorry about the millions of questions, but I'm fairly new to this and don't want to do anything that is going to get my fish hurt or killed. No one answered the question I asked before about platys. Could I get just ONE platy and he'd be ok in my tank? They aren't schooling fish, right...

I am hoping I won't have that problem, but what would I do if it did become a problem? If one of the zebras became attacking and injuring other fish, what should I do? Obviously he must be removed from the tank. But I don't have a second tank to put him in...where would he go?

Hmmmm....thanks for the advice all. Unfortunately I absolutely do not have enough money to spend on a larger tank, as much as I would love to have one. So I will just have to be careful with my stocking. If I had 4 danios, 3 cories, and possibly a small male platy and did water changes often...

OKay, I will probably add two more danios then. But first I want to add a few cories. They are cute, and i could definitely use the bottom feeders to pick up fallen food. I want a couple colorful fish....something fairly small...any specific suggestions?

I have two zebra danios and it seems like on of them is a bully. One of them is always chasing the other one around. It is always the same one (Fishie II) who is doing the chasing. And the one being chased (Danny) will put up with it for a few seconds, then retreat down to the bottom of the tank...

Thank you very much! Randee

The bottle of "Bio Safe" tap water detoxifier that I have says "For use in new tanks or with water changes of 50% or more." I am not going to change 50% of my water, I only want to change about 25% of it. Is there an reason why I wouldn't be able to use this detoxifier? It says put 10 drops per...

I unfortunately didn't find this forum, or hear about the idea of fishless cycling until after I already had fish. But I just got a pair of zebra danios, and I know they are pretty hardy, so hopefully they will survive the cycling! My question is: should I do water changes often in the early...

Hi! My name is Randee and I am a college student from San Diego, California. My apartment-mates and I have a small (10 gallon) tank here, and are enjoying it. So far we only have two fish (we are waiting a month or so before getting more), but we love them. They are two zebra danios. I thought...
