I came home and saw a lot of these, my 20 gallon long is stocked with ember tetras, blue long fin danios, cherry and blue shrimp along with some snails. Any help would be appreciated

I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 guppies and 5 shrimp. would it be possible to keep otocinlus? I know they do best with others of their kind so i’d have to get more than 1.

Hi all! I ordered some shrimp from a local online store because none of my local fish stores sell shrimp. They arrived today and while I’ve had plenty of experience with shrimp, I need to go to work for about 9 hours so I put them in the bag in the tank to acclimate while I was gone. Usually I’d like to do a drip acclimation but I was wondering how long would be best for them? Normally I’d do two hours which is obviously to help with them adjusting to the parameters and temp but I was wondering if they have been acclimated to temp for so long if they still need the drip acclimation for 2+ hrs? Thanks!

My friend is getting her sister 4 fish for Christmas... 3 orandas and a SHUBUNKIN goldfish... I tried telling her that those won't go well together and that the shubunkin can get up to 18in and then she tells me is a 20 GALLON TANK!!!! I don't know how to get it across that this is really bad and that those fish will not have a great quality of life in A. A tank that small and B. With a "regular" goldfish .... I told her she should just get a male betta and put him in that 20 by himself or maybe with a bristle nose pleco or corydoras but she's pretty set on the goldfish... fr what should I do

I got a new fish tank set up and everything is going great except one thing, the pH. As you can see by the image I got this stuff to mix in and it should bring the pH up to around 7. No matter how much I add or do it won’t go up over 6 pH and it’s usually at 5.5pH. I don’t want to over stress my fishy friends so is there any household item or something like that I can use to get it up to at least 6.5pH? I know people use baking soda but I do not have that at the moment. Thanks!

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask this, but anyone have experience with resin aquarium decor like this one? I suck at making aquascapes, and I find modeled decor like this one super appealing. Good reviews on Amazon but it’s Amazon. My only concern is if it will affect water parameters. Thanks in advance.

I’m posting this on behalf of my brother. He’s got a school of harlequin rasboras, a school of Cory’s, a small pleco, and some dwarf guoramis. He’s got a powerful filter for a 30 gal so not to much of a worry on bio load but nothing crazy like plattys, mollies, and guppies. Any ideas for top feeders or mid feeders would be great.

This looks like fin rot on the too fin to me. I’ve given him medicated food since last 4 days with kanaplex, focus, metroplex and one dose of maracyn in water.

But the rot seems to be getting worse. Temperature is was under 80 because of my late identification of a faulty thermometer. But I’ve raised it to 85F for past one week. My other female ram met her end sadly. That’s when I started looking into it. What should I be doing from here? Daily salt baths?

My nerite will NOT go in the water. He is still alive (stuck on the glass) but he hasn’t moved in like a month and a half. I’ve plopped him in the water and he just slurps back up above the waterline. I have other snails in the water.

Ammonia, nitrite, nitrates 0,0,5

No copper

PH is like 8.2

Hello. Need Some Help on how to Go about this. So my Floor Tiles are needing to be replaced and I need to move my 125 Gallon aquarium with 6 senegal Bichirs to the other side of the room while the tile is replaced then having to move it back once done. Im just Hoping for some help on how to go about this. I have a FX6 and a hang on filter. What would I need to remove from the tank? Would I need to remove all the sand and would it be OK to put back in. How could I keep the Beneficial Bacteria Alive in my FX6? I have a 29 Gallon Tank I plan to move the Bichirs into temporarily and place the hang on filter and other decor. I'm just more stressed about my Beneficial Bacteria as Bichirs are Pretty Chill.

Just wanted to know everyone’s opinions on how accessible financially, physically, etc. this hobby is.

Hey guys,i have been thinking about waht type of pufferfish i could keep in my 20 gallon tank its the best i have at the moment and it would be really nice if you could give me some advice about ehat species i can keep in there!

Ok so I have a question, what is a good tankmate for a betta in a heavily planted tank with some dragon stone. I was thinking either some pygmy corydoras or Khuli loaches, my last option was cherry shrimp but idk if my betta will eat them. What is the best option that is not snails?

Hey everyone, thanks in advance. I've had a pretty healthy simple 55 gallon setup going for about a year now (not my first tank, but I don't claim to be an expert in the hobby either). For a while, all I've had in there are 2 angelfish, and 2 bristlenose plecos. About 3 days ago I got 5 orange platys and 5 blue platys, and (unsurprisingly) 3 of them are females and already pregnant. I plan on moving the adults to my 10 gallon and back after they've had the babies. I want to let the fry grow up in the 10 and eventually put them in the 55 when they won't get eaten.

Now here's my question, since I know once I put all those new fish in, it will turn into a breeding frenzy. Do you think it's wrong to let my angelfish eat all the baby fry? I mean it can't be bad for the ecosystem right? Natures way? Like I said I've had lots of fish before but was never very knowledgeable about specific things so I'm all ears to advice and suggestions for breeding, and just fishkeeping in general. Thanks!
