So we have two angle fish that seems to be getting beat up at night. Their fins are getting bit quite a bit lately but only at night. They were fin for the first 2 months we had them and no other fish are being nipped. Is there anywhere in Memphis Tn that would take them for free? Would hate to...

Thanks guys. I'll give it a try. I kinda want to switch becasue my arficfiacl stuff gets dirty and is a pain to clean so I'm thinking maybe natural stuff would be a better idea. I have a big LED light bar going across the top of the 55gal tank so it should be enough.

Ok will go ahead and try that. What would you do if the nitrates are high out of the tap?

So I have had my tanked cycled now and fish in there for the past two months. It has a sand bottom but now instead of the fake pink and purple plants I would like to have actual plants. Any ideas on planting a tank with with sand?

I have been doing about 25-30% a week. But maybe that's not enough or quite often as it needs to be.

So I had just the test strips for the first month or so and I felt like they weren't very accurate so I bought the API test kit and here are my results PH- 7.2 Ammonia- .25 (wasn't quite 0 but it wasn't really the light green either. Kind of in between) Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- 40 (at least looked...

Yeah I had thought about that and decided to only do one thing a week. My ammonia was a little high yesterday so I did a water change and added Prime. I think my testing strips have been contaminated so I am going today to get the API master kit as I have read that is much more accurate and test...

Ok thanks! I guess it is algae because when I hit it with a net a bunch of stuff came off of it and it was green... Like all the green parts of the plants are starting to turn brown at the tips too. I saw where people used a bleach solution but I just didn't think that was a good idea

I noticed this morning that all the fake plant and tree in my tank are really dirty. I was wondering what is the best and safest way to clean all this stuff off?

Well I'm pretty sure it is cotton wool so any advice on how to treat it would be great

This morning I noticed that one of the tiger barbs has something going on with his gill. On one side his plate is kind of sticking out far and he has this kinda white fuzzy thing under his mouth. He didn't eat either. I tried to google it but I can not find anything even remotely close to it. I...

I just bought this water changer today. And it won't fit to any of the four faucets. Can anyone provide the link to adapters I could use? The fine threaded size is either to big to fit on the bathroom faucets or it needs to be a female end fine thread to fit in the kitchen. My ammonia is 3ppm so...

Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure if there was a better way to get the ammonia down. I'll do a water change today. All the fish do seem to be ok as of right now. I got a little freaked out when I first tested it since I'm new to all this

I just tested my water in the tank and it came up as 3ppm. There are fish in the tank. What are some ways to get it down other than a 25-30% water change. Out of the tap the water is .5ppm

Yeah he is a fatty. I don't really know the sex. I bought 10 ghost shrimp and put them in there there is only 1 left so I assume he ate a couple and the Bircir ate a few

I have had him and the tank a week. The guy I bought it from was moving so he couldn't keep the fish so I couldn't really let the tank cycle. We kept the little bit of algae on the walls and kept the same sand and the didn't change anything in the AC70 filters to help keep the good bacteria. I'm...

I am new to the aquarium deal, I bought a 55gal tank from a guy and it came with a 6in Bircir and a catfish. He gave me pellets that he feeds them but I don't ever notice him eat. So my question is what are some other food options for him? I bought some of the brine shrimp that come in a little...

I bought this tank from someone. It came with a Bircir and this African catfish but I can't find an exact name for him. He doesn't seem to eat the pellets he gave me but the Bircir does. Just trying to get some info on him
