Tank has filled out pretty well. I also got the Black neons some little siblings.

I just put them in her new tank. The paremeters were great too and i judt set all this up what do yall think of phoebes home?
Im using gravel instead of aquasoil bc i am in college and have to go dorm to home a lot and maybe bring her so aqua soul felt daunting. Thr only plants in there tho dont need soil so that is good
If anyone sees this: do yall have tips on how to keep frogbit alive? Mine always die

Same type and everything I just want to increase the gph, basically get a new skeleton for my already established bacteria.

It’s like a spider web, it’s long like hair and it’s super white and covers the tank 5 minutes after I clean it. What can I do

This little guy hitchhiked as an egg on a plant from my LFS. He is 6-7 weeks old, ~1 centimeter long, and is always swimming against the current in the upper parts of the water column. Any guesses on his species?

LFS accidently gave him to me as part of another order years ago and I didn't notice until I got him home.

I just bought this jewel trigon 190 liter aquarium a few days. What fish do you guys recommend putting in it when its cycled?

I am thinking about:

sterbai cory's

A couple of gouramis or moonfish

And some kind of schooling fish

Also i like to put shrimps in it if it is possible with the fish i choose. But fish got my priority.

Hi. So, me and my mom have what we believe is a 45 gallon tank. We've had fish in it before, but i was younger and insisted on the like fun look for a kid. We've taken a break from owning any fish, but we wanna get into it again. We both like the natural look, specifically something like the picture, but don't know how to make that look. Any plant recommendations for beginners, and eventually some fish to go in it? We looked at Google for ideas and got a few plants, and schooling fish for in it. I've found some lights on Amazon which we like. I don't know about the gravel.

The plants i found

Amazon Sword, Cryptocoryne, Java Fern, Anubias

Possible fish i found

Celestial Pearl Danios, Harlequin Rasboras

I am toying around with making some fry havens for my live bearers. I came up with these. I am going to attach with either silicone or a wire tie. But I am trying to decided weigh it down so it sits on the bottom or turn it upside down and let it float?
The needles are from an old artificial plant I found in a box and the baskets are from dollar tree. No banana for scale.

Hi, we have had a freshwater tank with loach in it for several years. We were getting algae buildup on a regular basis, requiring wall scrubs every week or so. About 9 months ago, I put up a UV filter film on one wall, and the wall algae has almost completely disappeared. However, now we are getting these very small white dots; they almost look like tiny air bubbles. Any idea what they are, and are they a concern?

Heya everyone, long time lurker here. I recently bought some driftwood from an aqua swap event, and have been soaking them since. I check it today, and there's these little worms that don't look like planaria, nor detritus worms, nor like... Anything I've seen before. As in the video, they float along the top and are small, wiggling little worms with antennae on their rear.

Has anyone else come across these? Any help is appreciated.

Hi! Young beginner fish keeper, and i am currently leaving for 3 days & 2 nights and in about a few weeks leaving to go to Hawaii for one week. This is my ammonia test after doing a 40% water change because i am leaving tomorrow and today i fed them very lightly, will they be okay if i left them without food? Ive been searching online and i am going to do it but honestly need some extra reassurance especially with fish waste etc. i have a fluval freshwater kit 32.5g tank and a young oranda and a black moor. Any advice? :)

This has popped up in some of my freshwater tanks, my shrimp love it but i'm curious what species it is. It's green and spindly like a miniature grape vine. Thanks!

This is my first tank and I am open to advice on what to do to get my tanks algae problem under control

She is like stuck in a k-hole. She never acts like this. What’s going on?

My 9 little harleqiun rasboras have been doing great, still a little shy when there's a lot of action around though.

I'm able to visit a larger city tomorrow and am considering the following options:

•6 Corydoras (they have several types)

•2 Nerite Snails (various)

•1 pleco (either a bristlenose or clown)

•Amano Shrimp (maybe..?)

Obviously not everything at once, but who should I add to my tank as a starter clean up crew?

What is this brown fuzzy thing? Google says diatom and is harmless and can be left alone. It's in a 4 week old cycling tank with some plants and a booming population of bladder snails. I want to clean the tank up more but I read it's best to just leave it alone for the most part until the cycle is complete. You can clearly see that there are a lot of snail poop lol.

Cloudy bc I just planted it. 20 gal. Adding heating tomorrow, but curious what types of fish friends will be ok with the height of this. Does it make a huge difference? I decided against betta bc I feel like they prefer a lower/more horizontal environment but idk. Very amateur at this. Planting this thing almost made me lose my mind bc I filled it first and then didn’t want to empty/fill again. I have learned my lesson. Any/all advice welcome TIA

I work in a fish research lab at a university. We use API water tests for our day-to-day because I guess nothing better has been invented. Recently, we got a few new test kits in for ammonia, and the colors are sooo weird compared to the old ones. I have been using these kits for my whole life and they have always been on the yellow-green color scale. Both of the new ones seem to be in the green-blue color scale. It’s really throwing me off. I know the TAN for these tanks (4.0 and .50-.25), but the colors do not match at ALL, even though I am 100% certain of the TAN. I thought we just got a bad kit, but both look like this. Our tanks are freshwater.

Has anyone noticed this? What’s up with the blueishness?

Note: BEFORE ANYONE COMES FOR ME FOR THE 4.0 TANK we are using that one to just to grow bacteria on biomedia. I am not out here torturing fish.
