One of my lovely panda garras that I posted a photo of nibbling on my hand the other day was just found on my living room floor. First ever fish suicide :( frustrating because i am pretty sure i was...

Hi guys - my Pandas do this EVERYTIME I put my hand in the tank, like clockwork. They seemed to start doing it when they got to the size they are at now (they were really tiny when I got them). ...

I am suffering the same problem. I have heavily planted tank & pleco as well so there is no way I am adding that much salt to it. I have used this before and it worked well, but I never had any...

Success! The pleco is really doing a number on the zucchini slice, and his color looks much better today, all is well. Question though: Will they overfeed themselves? Should I take the zucchini...

Thanks mizzou, you're probably right and he's still just adjusting. This is the biggest fish I have ever had so I am just a little overly nervous. I put a piece of blanched zucchini on a fork in...

No ammonia spike today, levels seem pretty normal, but the behavior is still kinda weird. I am also noticing his color isn't exactly the same as it was when he first went into the tank, take a look...

hmm alright, I just was concerned because the first 24 hours he was always hard to spot, in the wood crevices, behind stuff etc. Tonight he is just lounging out in the open. I just saw a rummynose...

I just added a BN to my tank and was wondering what I should be looking for in terms of healthy behavior, should he just always be stuck to something? There is plenty of wood, algae and plants in...

Well, so much for that. The neon didn't make it through the mini spike in ammonia I posted about in another thread. I kinda saw that coming, he was only getting worse as the night went on.

Gotcha, thanks. Did a WC and will re-test tomorrow.

So I added more stock to my 36g bf yesterday morning, 7 rummynose and 1 BN pleco. Last night the levels looked good, today I get home from work and they are 0.25/0/5. What would you suggest doing...

I agree with the logic kevin/crunchy, the stress would probably kill it. He does only look a little "off" it's not anything I can diagnose, like fin rot/ick/fungus. And he did show interest in food...

I don't think that's a 10g tank....that looks much bigger..And why is it only halfway filled with yellow water? Whole thing seems strange.

I see him just kind of lounging around swimming at a 45 degree angle (head facing downward) but I am noticing the rummynoses are kinda bullying him, I have an empty 10g fully ready to go if you think...

I added some new stock today so naturally I have been staring at the tank all afternoon. I noticed that one of my neons (neons are not new, roughly 8 days ago I added them) looked different than the...

It's the only filter on the tank, which is 36g. It's rated for 55g and I know people say that you should get double the rating because flow decreases when you add media but quite honestly I haven't...

So my HOB filter uses carbon cartridges, and I want to avoid using them ever again as from reading and learning on here they are the wrong way to go. For starters I have added a bunch of fluval...

3 rams in a 29 gallon? Are there lots of hiding spots? I would think that wouldn't be enough room for them to claim their space.

The second poster is right, there is no fish per gallon rule. Even the inches per gallon rule is pretty misleading. Looking at the size/type of fish to get an idea of the bio load and territorial...

I have 3 panda garras in there, haven't seen them going anywhere near it though. Assassin snails dont eat any algae right?

I think that is what this is, I have read you can get outbreaks of it in newly established tanks (although I am not great in bio-chemistry so i don't really know why). I have removed some by hand but...

Welp, since I live alone the little sibling thing is out of the question, I have been actually spotting a few of them near the surface of the tank, so maybe they are just hiding. Although I spend so...

Agree to the above posts, Failed/non-existent cycle looks to be the problem. I use HOB filters, one on my 10g sand-bottom tank and used to have these type of issues before I understood that...

I had one lay many, many clutches in the hood of my tank (I must have bought her pregnant). Some of them I didn't remove in time but despite seeing what looked like a hundred little babies, none of...

It's not that I don't like cleaners, but the tank was completely over run and they looked to be multiplying at a rate that would be out of control. Maybe most of them simply died off because there...
