What tell-tale signs do you look for to tell you something is wrong with your aquarium?
Gotta guppy that has white stringy poop. Is now not eating and is just hanging out at the top away from the females. I treated with levamisole and flubendazole (at different times obviously). Still hasnt helped helped. According to the fresh/new test strips my water is great! I just ordered ich-x and paraguard, will be here Wednesday. I read you can use those together, is this true? The more time that goes on, the weaker my purple mosaic male gets. Can you offer some advice?
A straightforward list of things to look for would be helpful
Ive never seen algae as a bad thing
1) if fish are not hitting food at the surface, I change water. 2) opening the food lest in moisture, especially if the food is refrigerated. 3)refreezing food causes slow freezing which forms large ice crystals which breaks open all the cells, which leak nutrients before the fish can eat the food.
ya true, our Oscars won't eat when lights are too bright, they will shy away until we dim it then they will swim towards the food..
What was with the eye covering at 2:53
Hmm, the ammonia level is ok in my tank, but there’s a lot of foamy bubbles on the surface. I’ve been using almond Cattalpa leaves in my tank and they’ve been decaying. The water is also greenish due to algae. Could this be the source of the bubbly water?
I have 10 tanks, I buy the big things of freeze dried krill then I open it and put about a quarter of it in another container that I use for feeding. Thanks for the vid !
I feel like a lot of people get aquariums and fish because they think they are an easy pet to have. It’s really the opposite. Fish are so hard to perfectly take care of. I feel like I learn some new thing I need to watch or know about my fish.
Hearing all these makes me feel like throwing my aquarium and adopt a new hobby 😢
This is not water…is chemical soup
When I feed them they disappear then reappear later
Absolutely it happened to me I lost everything all my snails all my fish
I also heard the longer bubbles take to pop means more nutrients in water thank you for information I'm starting over again staying positive ❤❤❤
What am I supposed to do it I see bubbles in the tank though?
My dog absolutely does the “not hungry today” thing. He is such a picky eater and just isn’t in the mood for meals some days. Has been this way since he was a 4 month old pup (he’s 4 now). Frustrating as all heck.
Thanks for the video i found it looking for a surface skimmer for my fluval 15 but i always noticed bubbles where my exit ports for the pump hit the front of the tank right around when i do wster changes. Its been up for 2 weeks imnthinking it might be the amonia like u said ill keep an eye on it but they only start late neer the end of the week.
M just getting back into the hobby. Buying every test kit I can get. I want to know everything….I also know this will lead to me buying an RO system. Lol
I thought I was the only one who refrigerated my fish flakes.
If you use Stress Coat it creates bubbles too
hardly never seen a fish that didn't want to eat. unless it was dead. even 5 year old flakes
Was that a pothos plant completely under water?
Hey,
I never wrote on YouTube, so I do not know how this works. I have reached out SO many times by joining multiple groups, chats and fish( aquarium) stores for help and cannot seem to find out really what is happening. I feel lost. I really feel like there is something I'm missing. If you have an email, I which I could ask a few questions, pls let me know! Thx
Im confused about all info noone gets to rhe point everyone ive talked to about beta its all different
Bubbles means protien from dead bacteria
Love the lid on your aquarium.
Kind and thoughtful. Thanks for the free education sir!
I realise that I am an idiot, and that i never thought about the expiry date/longevity on their food
For betta fishes I’m pretty sure their looking for a mate
3:15 why is there pothos underwater?
Great advice about the food. I like to vary what my fish eat, so much so, I have at least ten open containers of various food. I think in future I will only buy two and change it up as they run out. Do you advise keeping all fish food, including flake, in the fridge once opened? Even if your home is not very warm inside?
Excellent info even for those of us who've been at this for a while .👍✌️
Curious what all I should be checking aside from what the api master kit has in it? Iron? Phosphates? Any other tests you’d suggest to purchase. Ben having occasional Molly deaths and have noticed some signs of other diseases but have treated the tank. I also have hair algae coming out of everything so I’m glad you mentioned that in the video that peaks my interest as to what the problem really is with my tank
👍
I noticed when it's all gone I'm haywyre or whatever but there's not much discussion around I'm finding I'm just basic new YouTube about the actual room air quality filtration of building your and I'm talking the one you walk around in doing it the air quality the air conditioning within the room that you're also breathing room
I can relate so much to this. My rat quit eating. Then I smelled the pellets. Omgosh. I keep them in the fridge now. Also have dogs in my bed. Know the second something is wrong with them.
Worst thing of bag food is that it does not matter if it is from AquariumCoop or any other, there aren't small bags of good food haha and if there is it cost 3-4 times a good fish and does not get far enough than a month XDD difficult equilibrium.
This video creates more problems than solutions 🙁
