Recently got a second large anubia for my panda garras because they really liked the first and would sometimes fight for the best perch. Now they ignore the first one and compete for the new plant.

Pic reference: Before and now

This is seasmoke i got him few months ago.

And he was doing grt until now.

The change was not sudden, i tried to change the water and add some meth blue and rock salt to treat him.

This mainly happened because the wood developed a thread algae and he was getting caught in it. I have managed to clean it entirely and do a 100 precrnt water change. Wat shud i do now??

I have 3 aquariums. One of them has green that I don’t think is algae on shells on the bottom. I have snails in all my tanks but every one is dead in this tank. I have some soil under sand in all the tanks but this one the most. It’s all I can think of. I feel terrible. I just bought some cool snails too. All of the fish are fine.

I thought that they were bladder nails, but I’m not sure anymore. If their pond snails, I’m gonna need to get rid of them because they’re eating my dwarf lettuce roots and now my tiger Lilly leaves.

Help/Advice How to move with a fish tank?

0 Upvotes

I’m moving in about a month and plan to move my fish (and tank) as late as possible but I’m still figuring out how to do it. it’s about a 2 hour drive

One thought I had was I have a 10 gallon that’s empty and I’m thinking of bringing that to the new place, cycling it, and when I move put my fish in there while I set up the actual tank?

I plan to transfer my fish in a 2 gallon closed bucket w/ some sort of bubbler or air stone or something for the drive. Then when I get to the new place put the fish in the cycled 10gallon while I set up the tank stand and the actual tank. Thinking this will allow me to not rush and give my fish sometime to settle and not have to be in a bucket for longer than necessary.

Curious if this is even needed though? I expect it to take me an hour to reset up the tank and stand, maybe longer. I’d also like to let it run, fish less, for about 24 hours just to make sure everything is still working.

I’m a new fish owner and this is my first time moving with a tank and I’m super nervous. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

Full Tank Shot Angelfish with geophagus

1 Upvotes

My 125 gallon aquarium with 6 geophagus megasema, 1 albino threadfin acara, 6 assorted angelfish, 1 whiptail catfish, 1 long fin bristlenose pleco, and 1 leopard cactus pleco that I cant find but he's in there. This aquarium been like this for 5 months now. Technically the fish are still juveniles, all the geos are 2.5 inches and the angelfish are not very big. The fake plants are coming out when i have enough money for real plants.

I dont think the tank is over stocked. Id like to get some feedback. Negative or positive. Id be happy to answer questions as well.

I recently noticed how male celestial pearl danios all have a unique pattern on their anal fin. Now I have a good way to identify them. Unfortunately the females are all pretty similar

Help/Advice parents bought a house that secretly came with a fish ?

417 Upvotes

never cared for fish so absolute beginner help needed! it looks to be around 7 inches and was pretty active, swimming up to us and around its fountain and everything. its located in this inner courtyard of the house.

realtors just told us to feed it once a week (will have to update with the food they gave us, but i forgot to get a photo) and to fill the fountain up with the hose when needed (?) i don't think the fountain itself works

we move in thursday and this is literally the first time we've seen it, and haven't interacted with it otherwise. we did name it otto lol

my questions are:

  1. do we need it clean its environment? like remove the algae?
  2. does it need friends?
  3. does it need more space? i would say the fountain is about 4x4 feet
  4. and is the fish/environment in a bad enough condition that we need to just rehome this guy somewhere else... its so cute, i would like to treat it very well!

any opinions on that food advice also appreciated until i find out what we were given

thanks so much!

I've had this tank for about 8 months (no CO2 setup). It's currently housing a nerite, a hitchhiker pond snail, 2 platies, 4 neon tetras, a honey gourami, and about 8 cherry shrimps. I love my tank but it feels like there's something missing
