Thanks for posting this blog. I think snail shells slowly dissolve into the aquarium water.
The aquarium definitely needs a partial water change. It probably has a bacterial buildup, and not all bacteria are good. Clear water is a good sign, but it's not the only indication of a healthy...
.... As for care goes you'll need some fish flakes a ziplock bag and some baby bribe shrimp, and an egg. Do waterchanges frecuantly about 20% a day is good, baby fish need good water because their amune ...
Rapid changes in any water parameter can shock the fish. If you change only about 20 percent of the water the fish should be OK. Since the water has all those meds, you could do the partial water chan...
Yep, usually it's a result of water quality degradation and the small ones are quite sensitive to it.
...gae, as long as the plant isn't visibly overrun, you're not running much more of risk then when you do a water change. Algae spores are in water, period. It's a matter of keeping the conditions in you...
If you could find a way to get rid of the water from the store it would be extremely useful. I have a feeling that it would reduce the risk of the existing fish getting infected in diseases that the ...

When you do a partial water change, especially a large one, make sure the temperature of the replacement water is close to the temperature of the original aquarium water. Most common aquarium fish can...
we have done a 80% water change, we tested our tap water and its 0.25 before we even put the water in the tank, we got some filtered water from our local aquarium and did the water change with that, t...
If you use a good water conditioner, it's not necessary to let the water sit for several hours. I usually just dump in enough Stress Coat to condition the replacement water, then add tap water at...

You don't need to remove the fish when you do a partial water change. Just syphon out about 1/4 of the water, making sure to syphon any gunk off the surface of the substrate. Replace the removed ...

I would put the mom in, old gravel in a pantyhose, forget about the water from the other tank, and test the water for a few days. You MIGHT have a mini cycle since it's a smaller tank. After a ...
Those guys are awesome. can you give me some info on them? are they saltwater? do you need specific water parameters? or a certain tank size? are they easy to take care of? those are really cool.
i would try to do a huge water change then littler ones every day after that but it sounds like parisites or a dissease and i wouldnt lissen to the store person and do some research. do you live in Oh...
Hi, I have never kept salt water fish, but I think the principle of the drip acclimation method still applies. Put the fish or anemone into a bucket with a shallow amount of the original water. After ...
If I understand correctly, you used a water clarifier. I'm not sure how those things work, but they most likely precipitate out solids. Like most chemical fixes, they don't address the sourc...

If he's gasping for air, it could be a water quality problem. Both ammonia and nitrite will burn a fish's gills and make it difficult for them to take in oxygen. It may help to put an extra ...

Sometimes, nitrate is present in tap water, which can be tested just like aquarium water. If that's the problem, you can use distilled or reverse osmosis water for some but not all of the partial...
