So much for the angel fish being one of the beat tank mats for my parrot. He went after the poor thing as soon as I put him and ate his eyes out. He is leaving the other one alone, but he already killed one of the two I bought. :-( Update: Nevermind he is already chasing the other one. I'm...

First, my water parameters are good. No Ammonia and nitrate cycle is done. All that was done before I bought my first fish. He is the only guy in the tank right now. He had a lot of caves and plants to hide in, but he is developing black patches everywhere. Water is 78 degrees. I want...

Hello again! Been five years since I have been active on this forum. I am back for recommendations from people with more experience than me. I have had saltwater tanks before, only FOWLR tanks. I wanted to do a reef tank, but I never had the opportunity being I worked out of town all the...

I have been though it all. Freshwater and Saltwater tanks! The largest was a 120 gallon tank that I did both Salt and Fresh water in. Life happens and I am down to no tanks now. Not even a betta tank now as my betta died on me a week ago. :-( Now I am moving into a brand new home that I am...

Hey guys, as maybe some of you know I was into Saltwater, unfortunately life caught up to me and I had to take my 120 gallon saltwater down. I'm not ever going to go that big again, but someday I am going back to salt. So I had a problem. I have a 120 gallon tank just sitting there collecting...

I have a Florida Flag Fish that is just staying on the bottom of the tank, and not moving much at all. He was an active swimmer at first, now he is just at the bottom of the tank and staying upright, under my drift wood. He moves a little and is in a different hiding space every day, but still...

Betta Falls, the wonderful looking tank by Aqueon that houses three unique Betta's for your viewing pleasure, but is it? First let me say, I like the tank. It's a really cool looking design and I am hopeful. Out of the box you will be stunned that this tank is bigger than you think, and each...

I am very excited over this project that I had already finished. I just wanted to share. First, I had a 10 gallon tank that was fine, I had a few plants in it and they were doing well. I gave my 29 gallon to my brother for a while that had to upgrade from his 5 gallon to the 29 for his gold...

I bought a candy cane coral thinking I was good with my 4 light system. I added 2 more lights over the coral itself. Does not seem to be helping. I replaced all my bulbs so they are brand new and it shows! It's really bright, but not bright enough still for my candy cane. I moved the...

My coral and tank is doing well. I had a die off of fish about three months ago. :-(. My Singapore Angelfish (which was eating, and not hiding) died out of no where, than my yellow eye tang got ICH out of no where and died, I believe he passed it on to my blue spotted puffer and it died. Now I...

This always happens! I do a water change and my lyretail wrasse goes NUTS and attacks my Coral Beauty! After a few minuets after my wrasse goes back to being a good member of the reef. The only issue now, is my coral beauty is tore up more than normal. He is eating! He won't be touched...

Ok, Temp 78 to 80 degrees Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 PH 8.5ish range! Lighting Odyssea 60in 4 lamp T5 system. Two 10,000K white and two Actinic Blue lights. Everything is checking out in my tank as fine! I got my Toadstool a few days ago and dripped acclimated. It was all white...

Ok, well it's the best I can do for a QT tank.:( My Singapore Angelfish out of nowhere died and right after my Yellow Eye Tang has Ich. I had a post about it my angelfish, but couldn't get any help. it died literally within hours after showing NO signs of anything. Now my Yellow Eye Tang...

An hour ago, everything was fine in my tank! All my fish swimming happy and nothing wrong. I come back 10 minuets later and my Singapore angel is down on the sand bet with an arched back, still breathing, but looks like he is dieing. I moved him quickly to a hospital tank (A 5 gallon), same...

And TLC and so on. Places like this give this kind of advice saying how awesome it is! Showing bowls of fish and what not. It really makes my job worse! I was at work a few days ago and someone wanted 150 gold fish (feeders) for wedding centerpieces. Oh it gets worse! She brought a TEN...

Ok, my wife wanted the colored glofish and she is pregnant. My point, I really had no choice in the matter. LOL! So I went out and got a 5 gallon glofish starter kit from Tetra. Basically all I got was the tank and the LED lights as I ditched the filter it came with and got me an aquaclear...

So I decided to put my new Yellow Foxface Lo into my tank today, and things went smoothly for the acclimation part. I turned off the lights on the tank, and for the most part the fish are leaving the new guy alone, but not my Yellow Tang. Nope, the Tang decided it was time to attack. He is...

Guys, my pump went out today on my tank. It was a used pump, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That pump had a flow rate of 900 gallons per hour, and the only pump I could find today at my hardware store was one with 800 gallons per out flow rate. I don't think that will be a big issue...

I would like to add a rose tip anemone to my tank. While I think my lighting is excellent, I want to make sure. I have a four bulb lighting system that has two 10,000k white light and two actinic blue lights. A total of 320 watts which gives my tank about 3 watts per gallon. I only had the...

Guys, I am asking advice before I see any issues. I dropped my poor guy on the ground. :facepalm: I was picking him up with a spatula trying to not break his spines and what did I do? I dropped him from about 3 feet high. He broke some of his spines, but what scared me is some slime coat was...

I was told that I might want to try and risk having a cleaner shrimp in my tank. Even with fish that would normally eat other shrimp, they say that most of the time the fish will leave them alone because of the markings on the shrimp. I was told if the shrimp was accepted it would be a GREAT...

Ok, my brother has two telescope goldfish, and I never knew the size until I went and saw them first hand. My gosh they were huge! I knew goldfish get big, but wow. So to the point, they were in a 29 gallon at first, and I got him to finally upgrade to a 75 gallon for his gold fish. I know...

I like the Singapore Angelfish and I would like to include it into my stocking list for my 120 gallon (Long) tank. I always heard that once you get one Angelfish you are one, but being they are two different looking Angels and that my tank is huge for each to be able to establish their own...

I was thinking about a school of Lemon Chromis in my tank, but I don't know if that would really work. I would want to do about 10 of them for a nice schooling effect. I have a 120 gallon tank (Long) that I am setting up, and I will be transferring my fish out of my 55. My current stock of...

Ok, I am at my wits END with this issue! I have a hood on my tank, and I have always had hoods on my tanks. I am at a loss for words right now. My Flame Hawk jumped overboard and well is now in the great tank in the sky.:( This is the fourth fish I had jump from my tank and die. I have had...
