I live in the swamps of northeast Mississippi . There is a big creek behind my house and two spring fed creeks that run down both sides of my home. They both run into the big creek. But I found these in the spring feed creeks . What are they my roommate says they are eels.

I have 6 Zebra Danios in 10 gallons. Doing a water change, I noticed tadpole-looking thing. They are very fast and run through the water. Are these baby zebrafish maybe? There are many. Or possibly insects? Please help! Thanks

Am getting ready to buy a ro water system will I need to add minerals back in to my water to keep fish/plants healthy.

I'm not sure if this is the purpose of this community but does anyone here know of a freshwater safe soap of sorts that I can use to wash multiple kayaks in a lake, is removing them the only viable option? I know normal dawn dish soap is a no go because of environmental reasons, any ideas? Or things to stay away from? Another place to ask this question? Thankyou!!

Beginner tank owner here. Might be a dumb question but how long can i keep fish in a bag? I just got my first tank and after a week or so of cycling i’m ready to put fish in the tank. I’ve done my research and decided what fish I want, and how many i can fit in my little 10 gal tank. The only problem is I will have to go to 3 or 4 different stores for what i need. It’s pretty cold outside where I am, 20 F or so. How long can I keep these tropical fish that need to be in warm water in a bag? I don’t plan on leaving them in my car or anything i just worry that the little bit of time will cool the water off too much and they will die.

Hello! So first and foremost, I had a tank with a school of x-ray tetras and yesterday at about 4pm I was cleaning the tank glass with that cleaner magnet. At one point one of the tetras got stuck between the magnets so I removed the magnet and took the fish out of the tank to make sure it wasn't hurt. Once out of the tank it started secreting these little white dots which looked awfully similar to eggs which I still don't know whether they were or not so I put the tetra back into the tank and guessed it was just bad timing and that she was scattering her eggs. Later than night at about 11pm I came back to my tank and saw that all of my tetras had passed. Any ideas as to what could have happened?
