I have a 56 gallon and have a canister filter but the surface water seems like it is in a stagnate pond. I was told from a my reliable source at the local...
Well, I am so excited. :) We *finally* have fish! A male betta and 4 zebra danios, in our ten gallon tank. Now I can't wait for the other two to cycle! Thanks...
On the outlet hose of the filter make sure to have it shoot the water across the waters surface, that should do the trick for you. They make spray bars for...
Hello I kind of have the same problem, but it is not that bad I have a good 25 inch wall of air bubbles coming up from under the gravel all the time...
As William already pointed out, simply aim the output of the canister across the top of the water or get the spray bar attachment. If you wanted you can add an...
Java Ferns are great, but can be very slow growers. It depends a lot on water conditions as well. For example, I had java ferns growing 8-inch leaves in a...
Yes I have great water movement under the surface and I wasn't aware of a skimmer product but I might also look into that as well as an air pump. thank you...
Ya Whispers are not too bad (I have one running in my kitchen on a small tank) but by their very nature (vibrating a membrane), air pumps are noisy, so I just...
Yes I am thinking about getting an air pump just to break up the surface water but I might check into the spray attachment also if I can find one. Thanks...
You know what? In my room, I actually have a whisper taped to a paperback book and to the shelf it sits on. I should have thought to point that out. Yours,...
Hi all, All 3 tanks are now cycled. I have a dwarf gourami and 2 albino cory cats in the hexagonal tank. Also have 1 female betta, 3 cherry barbs and zebra...
Every time you put one sort of fish in the tank they drop dead within a day? I'd check the water parameters in the tank, and the requirements for that species...
The pH seems to be the big problem. do you have any sea shells or coral in your tank? If so then take them out because they are making the pH to rise.What is...
My beautiful pink butterfly Koi has what appears to be anchorworm on the tailfin: She was immediately removed from the large tank and placed in a 10 gal...
You need to keep a close eye on the main tank the fish came out of. Anchor worm larvae may still be present in that tank and it will only be a matter of time...
Thank you, I have done a 50% water change today, cleaned the pump, changed the filters, removed the fake plants and the driftwood and hosed them all down...
I had a mollie that spent a lot of time at the top of the water. He appeared "normal" but then he died. Now I have a platy doing the same thing although...
Oh, yup, I wonder if you thought of this. The cheap gravel you get at petsmart is limestone, and it does not say so. Limestone will harden and alkalinify...
Wow, that makes sense...there were some shells in the tank when I bought it (used) and I left them in as decoration. Yep, I'll be fishing them out tonight!...
Hi Dora, All but one betta, yes, have died when put in, within a day or two. I did acclimate carefully, both to the temp of my water and by adding a little bit...
As an update, I've now lost my last betta, the one that survived the longest. :( We are definitely not purchasing any more bettas; I'll just be returning these...
If your water is very hard it may also be very alkaline and have a high ph. But just do one thing. The water that tested ph 8, was that in your tank for a...
I got some fresh salmon yesterday and cut it up real small and put it in my 55 gal community tank they all loved in fact i wanted to make that the crayfish...
You can always soak it. My tetras and danios love salmon as well. Last time I fed it out of one of those foil bags; this time I believe I'll give them some...
I wanted to say hello from waco texas. i wanted to introduce all of yall to my babies..and show them off in photos MY FISH 3 red shoulders (1 male, 2 females) ...
