I've been noticing half of my fish are showing stringy poop in all colours: brown - dark brown - white - clear. Usually my approach is large water changes and high quality food, but that has not solved the issue. I blanched some peas and have started feeding them that, any other household...

Walking through a big box store when my other half spots a dwarf gourami, one thing leads to another and I wasn't aloud to leave without it. So I was a brand new owner of a (albeit good looking) dwarf gourami. I generally knew of the health issues surrounding these guys, so I put him in his own...

Bought a pair of agassizi fire golds, the female is healthy and happy, but the male (as seen in video) is showing signs of bloating. He is otherwise happy and appears to be swimming fine, but the larger tummy has me concerned. I don't want to have to go through the trial and error of several...

Fair warning to anyone wishing to follow along, this build thread will be picture and text heavy. This tank will likely replace my current 5.5 gallon, see photo. I'll try and keep the first post within reason, so here goes: Equipment setup: 36" long x 12" wide x 16" tall 30 gallon (wow, a 36"...

I have linked the SDS sheet for a coal slag blasting agent called Black Magic. It is really similar to the BDBS you lucky guys have access to in the states, it's just not as well hobbyist tested as the black diamond brand. Was going to cap a dirted tank with it, what do you think...

As the title states I want my in-tank heater OUT of my 5 gallon. I was going to run a small eheim with a CO2 reactor and was wondering if i could run my 200 watt hydor inline heater, or if anyone has done so.

Picked up some Chili rasboras the other day knowing that they may be picky eaters, and of course they are turning out that way. Lady at the store said they are all accepting dry foods. Anyway, about half of them will nibble as some micro pellets or crushed flake, but none are very actively...

Glad to get back into using forums, I've been a long time off and on user of them for a while now. A little about me: Kept all sorts of fish, plants and shrimp in many different tanks. Living in Canada makes it pretty tough (and expensive) to get all of the latest and greatest gear/livestock...
