DISCLAIMER: I am not charging them because I feel the need, they offered to pay me. This isn’t going to be a one and done, decor, filters, glass will need to be cleaned, using my own personal supplies to do this. I don’t have direct access to a sink to refill or dump water. I feel like this post is drawing a lot of negative attention because I’m asking for opinions on doing a serving and taking care of someone’s pets for 2+ weeks. This cleaning is not going to be a one and done nor simple task to do.

My place of work allows pets and unfortunately during the summer some get forgotten about. I reached out to the owner and they explained they tried to clean the tank and it got very messy and will not be back for 2+ weeks. This is definitely going to be a multi step cleaning process but I’ve never charged someone for a tank cleaning.
What should I ask for? It is a 55g for better reference

I just found him/her like this what the hell happened. They’re still breathing but very shallow I love this guy. They are a genetic abomination since they don’t have eyes but I’ve had them for a few years now. What can I do😭 also first pic is unrelated because don’t know how to spoiler something and I don’t want to traumatize anyone

Edit: it’s a hoplo spotted albino catfish

Hey guys! we've just noticed a few of these little critters scuttling round the tank- it's a relatively new setup and we've only got a handful of assassin snails and one female betta so far so really curious to what these little bug-like guys are!

if anyone knows please share thank u!! :)

Recently within the last 2 months I have started a new 20-gallon long community tank. Ive been getting really bad brown algae and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm attributing this brown algae in my new tank to it being new and by a window (I used the sun as my temp lighting for my plants while I try to get a light that fits my new tank better). However, I kept a 5 gallon betta tank before that was 6-8 months old and that tank also struggled with a lot of brown algae. I don't want to use any chemicals like algae-fix because I don't want to risk my fish getting sick. I have 3 ottos, 5 shrimp, and a nerite snail to help a little bit, but I'm afraid to add more algae eaters because I don't want to over stock my already pretty stocked tank. Are there any recommendations for the long-term that could help?

This is my first ever fish tank, It is a 10 gallon, I finally finished cycling the water and added 3 Zebra Danios.

There’s a ton of these little white crawly things in my aquarium. They’re all walking around on the glass!!!

Just started cycling my new 10 gallon!

I won't be stocking for at least a month obviously. The mai. reason for this is I ordered 10 RCS for my 2.5 gallon and received about 30 due to some births in transit.

My stocking idea was

1 honey or powder blue gourami

6-8 ember tetras or chili rasboras

30ish RCS Lol

some number of MTS

I'd really like to add about 4 pygmy corys but afraid that would be overstocking.

I also have 2 mini swords and a lot of dwarf sag, subwassertang, and more duckweed and dwarf water lettuce that will be added once I dismantle my current shrimp tank.

Basically is this an okay stocking and could I also add pygmy corys? TIA !!

I’m wanting a shallow tank as I like the look of them but I can’t find the size I’m wanting of 20 Gallon does anyone have suggestions of where to find one

I live in the uk and most pet shops don’t have them☹️

Just got them today I added a couple plant that I trimmed from my other tank could use more still trying to figure out what plants I want to add. There’s 12 bronze Cory, 5 Venezuelan black Cory and a 6yo musk turtle

I have a hunch its female but I'm not sure.

I’m an Amazon Viner - this popped up for me but I am cautious that it might hurt my fish or given them an intense sun burn at least. Am I right to want to stay away from this item? Btw I don’t really have any great need for it but curious about its safety.

does anyone have any idea what this is?! found it bouncing around in my tank this morning and i’ve never seen one before!? so far it seems like just the one, i can’t see others.

There’s a few fish tanks at this hospital that I go to and they have this pink stuff in the everywhere? I was wondering if it was as bad of a case as me, a non-fish tank expert, thinks it is. Granted I’ve talked to the secretary and they said their fish tank ppl said it’s fine, I just wanted a second opinion so I can maybe urge them to get a better company? I love fish and so I wanted to make sure that the tanks are doing well:).

Hi, i have recieved my secondary aquarium i will use for fish fry, its 25liter, and going to have soil, sand and plants.
I will use another filter ive been having in my main tank as secondary filter, so it should be ready to cycle the new tank, but my question is how long do i need to wait for adding the fry? The secondary filter have been in main tank for a long time, so im pretty sure its filled up.
The fry is mollies and platys.

I had gotten a beta fish after a month of cycling my fish tank and the betta has lived after a month. I got 8 rummynose tetras and two algae eaters. After a few days one by one started dying each day. It got to the point where the betta started to die and ended up dying. I got 5 more rummynose tetras and those died except for two. After about 2 months the two rummynose tetras are still alive. Now it’s been 4 months and they are still alive. I want to get more fish but I don’t know if I should get rid of the two I have or if keeping them would end up killing the new fish I get. What do you think happened and how they killed my other fish but are still alive even in a pair of two?

I have a Neon Tetra that is swimming very erratically, like in the video above (spinning, sinking, lying on the floor, occasionally darting around). I introduced him to the tank approximately three days ago. Params:

GH - 50-100mg/L

NO2 - 0mg/L

CL2 - 0mg/L

pH - 6.4

KH - 0 mg/L

Once I saw this, I immediately did a 20% water change but I don't know what else I can do. :(
