  1. Advanced Freshwater Discussion
    Hello. We need help please? We have a 110l tank that’s been up and running since beginning March. We have an internal filter, heater, gravel, some live plants (although we have removed most of them since we thought it could be the cause) and an airstone. We have tetras, guppies, guppy fry, yoyo...
  2. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hi everyone, I'm just curious I have a Hong Kong Plec (hill stream loach) the little guy is currently in my temperate water tank with 2 zebra danios and 3 platys. I've been researching their optimal conditions and there is a lot of variation with temperature. At present they are kept between...
  3. Cyprinids and Atherinids
    I recently received some Nothobranchius Guentheri (killifish to me) as a present and as I am a complete novice to keeping anything like this, besides a goldfish, I thought I could do with some advice (They are living after all). I have some basic knowledge from some searches but a few of my...
  4. Tropical Fish Diseases
    Last time when I bought my two original clown loaches, one of them must have had some ich, which went undetected and it spread to my entire tank! The loaches got Very sick but thankfully with some TLC and the heat method, They just barely pulled through. While all of my other fish had maybe 2-3...
  5. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I lost a 6 month old Zebra Danio today following a routine 25% weekly water change. He shared a 20-gal tank with two other Danios and six tetras (Rosie and Red Phantom). The whole gang seemed fine before the water change, but all were acting panicked right after. My first thought was to look...
  6. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    I have a 55 gallon tank and a few months ago I dealt with about 3/4 of my fish dying after I got some new platies and didn't quarantine them. I did a bunch of water changes and then everything seemed ok. A month or so later I would get random fish deaths. A month ago all my cories died almost at...

  10. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Last night I forgot to close the window in the fish room, and the temp dropped to 40 overnight! The wind was blowing directly into the room when I got up. My 55 and 20 gallon tanks and my hospital Tupperware (where I'm treating a weak Platy) were all down to 70! I about freaked out. Closed...
  11. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Upgraded from a 10g to a 55g after 2 months lol. In my house the only available spot for the 55g was in my living room in front window. I know its not the best place but it was seriously the only place it would fit. It has been set up for 2 months. I live in South GA and it has been getting...
  12. Freshwater Aquarium Equipment
    Do any of you have the same problem I have with the tank temperature? My house gets cool in winter (often down to 60F) so I have to turn up my heaters quite a bit to keep the tanks around 78-80. When its warmer, I have to turn the heaters down again or the tanks will get too warm. Sometimes...
  13. Catfish
    I tried to find the information in the forum and elsewhere but couldn't seem to get this answered. I know that the ideal temperature range for otocinclus catfish stops at 79F, however are they able to tolerate higher temperatures? I have them in a tank that stays at 77F and was wanting to...

  17. Catfish
    Ok, so to start off - corydoras are absolutely my all-time favorite fish. I have a 45 gallon (pH 6.6, ammonia and nitrites 0, keep nitrates at 5ppm, GH 4, KH 2; temp is 78). It's moderately planted with mostly South American species and also two crypts and java moss. In it I have a school of 14...
  18. Cichlids
    I know that only Parrot Cichlids get black spot disease but It keeps coming back. I have tested my water and all is good I keep the temp at 81 degrees. I siphon waste every second day and water changes once per week of 20 Percent. I have to add Coppersafe every time it comes back and it clears...
  19. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    When doing water changes I imagine it's best to try to keep the water temperature of the water you add to the tank the same temperature as that in the tank. This minimises temperature fluctuations an helps maintain a stable environment for the fish. Previously I've boiled a kettle and added...
  20. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I've ended up with three small (20L) betta tanks added to my fish menagerie. It's autumn and starting to get cool at night so I've been studying the temperature settings to ensure that everybody's warm enough. I have 25W Aqua One heaters in the tanks. The box said that that size was suitable...
