This is all I can find at Walmart. I’ve ordered ICK-X on Amazon but it won’t be here for four days. Any ideas?
-
90% water with vacuum on the 1st, 30% every monday for every tank. Am I just to light on plants? Also, unless I order online (unlucky for me) I can’t get ahold of snails. Lastly, I want to consolidate tanks, will my 5 gallon tank plants transfer over easily and/or safely for my 10 gallon? Can I use the substrate from the 5 in the 10?
-
My main priority is to treat my fish correctly. Coloration from medicine won’t stop me. I can hit a Walmart tomorrow afternoon.

This cleared the tales/bodies up on almost all my fish but my loach is still really bad. If had this loach for 2 months.

Too run down info for everyone, I have fluval stratum in all my tanks (2.5-3 inch.) I was worried about the time it would take to get ICK-X so I got big box store brand.Pictures of before and after 1 day on my loach with this brand. COVID had me change jobs and downsize homes so yes I feel I have to many tanks, I have a friend who wants a planted 20 tall and one friend with a 75 planted for rehousing. I use a Aqueon Quietflow 10 and two 3’s for respective tanks. As for parameters, I know they are deteriorating as of this last week, picture for reference (I’m colorblind) Picture with bedding is 5 1/2 G other is 10 G. I feed Aqueon flakes 2x per day. I was doing shrimp pellets but stopped in the hopes it may help them to focus on any spare fish food. Heaters on every tank 74-78 o all tanks.

5 months ago I casually mentioned to my Fiancée I wouldn’t mind keeping an aquarium, now she bombards me with stuff for my new hobby. I love her to death. Now I’m at a point with my tanks that I have engorged information and it has somewhat paralyzed me. What is next and how can I be better? My plants are not looking good in my 10 gallon, I’m fighting ICK now as well, White Algae/Mold is cropping up and I keep vacuuming it away. I added more bottom feeders (trouble w/ snails only shrimp) and stopped feeding as much but nada. Perfect time for my Molly to birth. 3 Molly, 2 balloon Molly, 2 guppy, and 2 loach. I was gifted loaches from a moving friend and I couldn’t find space for a 20+ tank for them. My 5 gallon has slight ICK, the plants have tons of new growth, so does algae. 2 Molly, 1 balloon Molly. My Molly fry I moved into a 2 1/2 before my ICK issues but that tank is in need help with white algae/mold, so more shrimp it is, nada. 37 Molly fry I don’t have a picture of when the 10 gallon was bad but I had to take the thing almost apart to clean everything. 8/9 hour lighting all tanks. I will except any advice, thoughts, good intentions, or scrutiny at this point to become learned. Thank You for support.

Hello! Is this something I should be worried about? It started yesterday especially on my loach, who is still very active. These pictures are from two separate tanks.

I was gifted several fish and I am aware that I don't have a perfect set up for certain species, but I have White Mollly F, Black Molly M, Spotted Fancy Balloon Molly (?) M/F, Fancy Guppy M, Golden Zebra Loach M/F in a 10 G. I also have a 5.5 G with a Black Molly M, and a Yellow Molly F. I have a 2.5 G with loose plants (ex betta tank). Assorted shrimp in 10 G. My biggest problem is she gave birth while doing my cleaning routine.

Hello! It finally happened and my white Molly gave birth! These are my first fry and I am clueless. She was bought pregnant and now I would very much appreciate tips. The biggest being how to clean the tank with dry and should I move them to a smaller setup for the time being?
-
I do my 30% water change and gravel vacuum every Monday. In the last three days this has surfaced. Mold or Algae? How do I fix this?
-
The plants in the 10 gallon have been in the tank since December 13th. In your best guess how long until she pops? The only spare tank I have is a 5 gallon. Could I use that until I can get a larger tank set up? If. Or my friend is about to set up a 20 gallon tall. It is an option for me.

Thank you! My Fiancée has dubbed the name Midnight.

Hello! I am very new to the hobby and I was hoping to get some advice on where to take this aquarium in the future. Everything in the image is from a big box store except I added some Easy Green tabs (recently purchased.) I’m also aware that my fish ratios and species or horrifically mismatched. I originally had 3 black mollies as starters. After a friend who moved gave me his fish, many of my fish past. My five gallon is currently my attempt at a planted tank. All purchased from coop and planted as is except the hair grass, I split it three ways. Any tips would be appreciated. My main questions are what to do with my plants. They are getting so big that they need to lay sideways. Do I start trimming and then planting the trimmings? Also, is my white molly pregnant? She became very boxy, has been eating twice as much, and hugs the heater. This is my first post and I am very thankful for any help available. -Lee Pedersen SATX
