  1. I took the picture to the Wet Spot, fish store, and they said it was a healthy African Fern, but it doesn't look healthy to me. It has black beard algae. Also they said it was supposed to be translucent. Since I don't know the name I can't find out how to bring it out of it's slump. Any help would be appreciated. Should it be planted or attached?
  2. Thank you. It is a shrimp only tank.
  3. These are on the algae, on the glass of my shrimp tank. There are hundreds of them. They measure about 1mm, and are off white. I thought at first they may be tiny snails but they swim and move faster than snails. I'm wondering what they are and if/how to get rid of them. Thanks for any help.
  4. I don't think they are hurting anything but the tank is in our dining room and just doesn't look good. I have been manually picking 10 or so a day. Just hoping I was unaware of something. Thanks for your response.
  5. I have a 10 gallon shrimp breeding tank that has black substrate, and LOTS of algae, it has a lot of pond snails. How do I reduce them since I can't cut back on the food? Thanks
  6. I've got a hang on back filter and a small sponge filter. Would that be enough current?
  7. I'm wanting to breed blue cherry shrimp. Can I have a bamboo shrimp or giant blue wood shrimp in a 10 gallon with them?
  8. Sounds yummy, just as long as an inexperienced Carl's Jr line cook can make a balanced meal. Today is our regular maintenance day so I'll drain my 55 to 30, add all three meds, turn off the hang on back (continue the two sponge filters) and wait not feeding (even the fry).
  9. I had a balloon belly Molly and 2 rainbow fish get really skinny and die also one rainbow, that is still living, has patches that look like white mold.
  10. I have two questions. I have read the article, "HOW TO TREAT SICK AQUARIUM FISHE, (EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG". 1) Am I understanding it correctly to say, that I only dose three medications at the same time, one time, and let it sit the week? Not every day, or every other day, as per the instructions on the container? 2) Can I drain my 55 gallon with, 8 dwarf rainbow, 1 betta, 2 siamese algae eaters, 1 hillstream loach, 6 albino corys, 10 mollys with ?fry, planted, to 30 gallon (to use less medication).
  11. We don't have the dimmer things. They just blink on. They are just the 55 gallon hooded kit lights that came with the tanks. But are you saying (in your opinion) that breaking up the lighting time would be nondetrimental?
  12. We have our 7 tanks on timers to turn on 15 minutes before my husband needs to leave for work. (6:30 a. m.). They are set to go off when we turn off all electric entertainment,(6:00 p.m.). We are getting a bunch of algae growth and even with the clean up crew some of the tanks are unsightly. I like to have the lighting on while Ray is home and awake obviously. Is it ok for the fish if I set the timer to go off for a few hours during the middle of the day. They are in well lit rooms. But I know I have heard Cory say that the algae growth could be from too much light. I would like to have them come on at 6:30 a.m. -8:00 a.m. and 12:00-6:00. Could that stop the algae invasion (at least slow it) with putting my fish in a scary (for them) situation? Thanks for any help.
  13. My parameters are spot on I do a1/3 change every 3weeks with top offs when needed, I run a hang on back plus it also runs my spare spong filter (for quarantine tank), my plants fill about a quarter of the tank and the temp runs at appx. 80.
