Well i'v ended up finding and buying a nice copperband butterfly fish for my tank to try and keep the nasty aiptasia anemone at bay ... Had him for a couple of weeks now and he as made himself at home and is always one of the first fish in line when it comes to feeding time, the rest of the day he is looking around the rocks so its a good start

My planted set up has come down with a stubborn, apparently treatment resistant strain of whitespot. So far I've had a complete wipeout, waited a week & started restocking, & it's struck again over a week ago. It has so far resisted:
Protozin;
NT Labs whitespot treatment;
WS3;
Sterazin (which one shop I've used for decades said to use for so-called 'super spot')
All of the above have been combined with temps raised to 87f.
Most of the fish have died,... [Read More]

Hi, I just joined. Not new to fishkeeping though- I've kept fish since 1971.

Hi all! New to this forum. I’ve had several freshwater tanks before, but this is the first time I’ve bought a tank that was already set up and running. I’m buying a 55 gallon freshwater tank from a friend that he has had running for many years without any loss of fish life. What I’m wondering is, what’s the best way to transport his fish from his house to mine? Also, we don’t live too far apart, but obviously our water parameters will be different. Is there a way that I should refill the tank... [Read More]

Hi, my son really wants to get a fish tank. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of 10 to 20 gallons. Unlikely it will be larger than that period plan on it being a freshwater tank. I'm looking for suggestions on colorful low maintenance fish that would be suitable for that size tank, and being kept together. There might be no such thing, but I figure that asking on the site from people who are really into it, would help us make an informed decision.

Thanks

Hello,
I purchased 2 plants from pets mart, one is a peacock fern, the other a sword , I thought they were aquatic but when I got home noticed the package states they are semi aquatic. So I’m wondering if they will survive in my aquarium? I put the fern in my HOB filter and it started to wilt so I put it in the aquarium and it looks much better.. but will it eventually die? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you [emoji4]

Hello,
I’m hoping that someone can help me understand this well water test which I don’t totally understand. It also stated that there is Radon In the well water.

I’m wondering if this is affecting the quality of my fish and plants . My fish seem fine but plants constantly die after awhile. I have had my main tank for over 3 yrs and have spent so much $ on plants... [Read More]

Hey what’s up people? I have an aqueon quiet flow 75. Is there any suggestions on how to quiet the current sloshing sound coming into the filter from the intake tube? Or the vibration from the lid? I recently sent up the tank and my wife is less then thrilled over the sounds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for letting me join.
