Three of six snails have recently died. I don't know why. They're in a fifty gallon tank with gouramis, tiger barbs, and danios. I haven't changed anything in the tank recently, nor added anything...

I think my pictus attacked one of my tiger barbs.
I was thinking about just getting a new tank and moving him over to that one. Is this a good idea? How large of a tank will I need?

I have a...

50 gallons. 5 danios (one is the funny one), three gouramis, and a cat fish.

He's still swimming funny. I need to test the water, but I ran out of strips. My other 8 fish seem fine. The one who is funny is energetic, but seems almost like he is hurt.

The tank cycled months ago. I have had the fish since then.

Could someone please explain how to seed the quaranteen tank with media from another cycled tank?

One of the fish in my tank is swimming around sideways and seems to be acting strangely.

Is it sick?

I will read the Quaranteening 101 thread. Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks. That was basically what I wanted to know. When changing 25 gallons of water, having to go to the kitchen sink in addition to the hose is a lot of work. Basically what I wanted to know was "Is...

Okay, I got test strips today. I tested my water as soon as I got home.
There were trace levels of nitrite (0.5 ppm) and amonia (less thn 0.5, but not zero.)

I did a large water change and...

I don't know if you intended to be cruel when you wrote "LOL" in a post by someone who is trying to save his fish, but I think you need to think about what you're saying. This is not a laughing...

There was some surface gasping, but only from the catfish.

Okay...

Thanks everyone. I will try to get a test kit today.

I didn't have time to do a 50% water change before I had to leave for work, but I did complete a 20% change. Hopefully that will be...

Pictus catfish.

No. I had it tested at Petsmart. But I told them that I had a fish die, so unless they're just being jerks, I'm sure they would have said if any levels were high. I did a 10% water change just a...

I have had two catfish die in the last two days. I don't know what's wrong.

They are fairly new catfish, owned about two weeks, in a 50 gallon tank with five danios and three gouramis. I have...

Well, here's what I figured out about my tank: When you add fish, the ecosystem of your tank starts to change and continues to change for two to three months while the organisms (fish, bacteria,...

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew that I needed to cycle my tank, but I hadn't heard that uncycled tanks are cloudy.

My wife and I just built our first aquarium, but the water in it is getting very cloudy. Can anyone tell me why?

It is a fifty gallon gallon tank with a biowheel 350 filter rated for tanks up to...
