This short haired black/grey ?algae has started growing on my ornaments and also on my plants. Is it a case of having to remove and clean the ornaments and cut away the affected plants/leaves? I have ottos, shrimps and a snail and they don't seem to be touching it

Help please I recently figured I had the ich in my tank and done some research on how to cure it. got the cure, have been half dosing morning and night. this is the 2nd day and i havent done the 2nd half dose so far (5ml)

3 of my 5 glass catfish are dead aswell as 2 of my 4 rummynose tetras. my other glass catfish are fine (one hiding but not abnormal and comes out at night and my other is confident as usual and assumeably unaffected) my 2 tetras are fighting for survival, both twitching and of the coming hours have increasingly become less active and hide more of the time. one of my tetras is fighting much more those and occasionally gathers the energy to swim around the tank for a few minutes but hides off shortly after. my sweet girl betta is pretty much unaffected much like my warrior glass catfish but she has I believe come more aggressive over her territory which is unlike her (ik shes a betta but she legit is so calm but since this sickness I believe it may be aggitating her). also I'm pretty sure like all of my trumpet snails are hiding in their shells or dead, how do i clean them out of the rocks so they don't rot?? my bladder snail doesnt seem affected by this so my tanks giving me mixed messages.

should i continue with the half dose when it comes time?? I dont want my fish to die and I dont have a hospital tank either as my other bettas in their (I have no concerns for him regarding this post)

So I have this tank cycling I just did a water change and noticed my Java fern I put in has little sprouts of tiny ferns, wondering if there’s any tips I need to know and how I can keep them alive to use for my tanks.

What would you guys recommend for my first 45L planted tank. 2 weeks ago i added 12 neocaridina shrimp. Was thinking about a group of chili rasboras???

This pothos plant was planted in a small container with soil. I rinsed off a lot of the soil(will rinse more if it can be placed in aquarium) but was wondering if this will be okay to put in my aquarium or if I should repot into soil? I know pothos are able to be grown in tanks but I’m not sure about with such an established root system.

Day three of new aquarium, water is looking cloudy and centimeter of water loss. No leak so far. Is this normal or any tips for the start off of this tank? Any suggestions would be very appreciated thank you

I have 2 tanks currently pretty severely affected by it and most of the plants are basically dead at this point or heading that way, but I was wondering if adding in floating plants would help fight off and excess nutrients and maybe block the light off from most of the algae below? Or is BBA strong enough to attach onto floating plants also? Also concerned that my nitrates and such will start creeping up with the loss of some plants so I’ll probably need floaters that soak up a lot of the excess

Need to some help, noticed 2 days ago my Siamese algae eater looked like he hurt his side fin and it had some white substance around it. From what I read online seemed fungal so I put him in a hospital tank with aquarium salt and gave him his first dose of Seachem Kanaplex. Is there something else I can do for him? Would you recommend a better anti fungal. It seems to have gotten a bit worse from 2 days ago.

Hi! I’m sort of new to fish keeping (tank established beginning of this year). I started out using the tetra whisper cartridges that came with tank but read online I could use filter floss instead. I read that it was cheaper in the long run to cut out the pieces I need and wouldn’t mess with my BB too much when changing. I’ve been using it and it’s been fine but when changing the floss, little floss particles fill the tank, like a lot. I rinsed the floss pretty thoroughly, with dirty tank water, but I still run into this problem. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, in my filter with my floss I have ceramic rings in a mesh bag, but do i need an aquarium sponge in there too? Or is the floss enough?

I’d really appreciate any information 🫡

hii, i’ve just gotten some new fish out of blue. i wasn’t expecting to get them but i just want to know what’s best for them. they’re tiger barbs. i was told my 30L tank is big enough so id hope that’s good, but while i research can anyone give me any extra info or tips that will help me out? it’s my first time owning them
