Stray voltage means that one of the things in my tank (powerhead, heater) is letting of a charge, right? Would this effect the puffer for two weeks, and then kill the others overnight? I wonder if I should consider the death of my puffer and the death of my other fish as two seperate things...

Ok, today is the day. I will move all my lr and see what I find. All of your opinions are great, and I really appreicate them. I'm trying to eliminate things, and then maybe get to the cause. Yes, I will absolutley not let this happen again, so I will be taking it very slowly, one step at a...

I know exactly what you mean!!! Fortunately, this tank is really tall and my kids are still really short. By the time they are tall enough to do any damage, they will be old enough to fear me

My tank is in the playroom, so the only reason I go in there is to do something with my fish. So, once the lights go off (they are on a timer) I rarely go in there. So it's possible, but I just would not have heard it. Short of putting my hand in there as bait , how can I find it, if it's...

I haven't seen any wounds...but that doesn't mean they weren't there. I found myself looking for ick, so I believe I would have seen them. I'm actually a little nervous about mvoing things around.....whether it be some carnivorous monster, or some unknown toxin....neither sounds like fun. I...

Well, I now know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that I will not be a photographer when I grow up. I took the blob out, he's just so small and so translucent that I am not getting any kind of decent picture. I did find out one thing though....he has a "shell". When I took him out, he actually...

I have taken pictures of the blob. It could very well be a jelly. Do they stick to the side of the tank when forming? I am the first to admit that these are horrible pictures. It's so small I couldn't get my camera to focus. I am envious of all of you that take those beautiful underwater...

I tried to take a pic several days ago, but it was fuzzy. However, it has grown, so let me try and get a pic of it today. As for my amm.....I would do an average of three or four tests per week on my water. I am a first class nerd, and I have a log where I have kept every test result, every...

You never realize how something totally insignificant can have such an impact!!! Let me see if I can answer your questions. My children are 7, 5 and 2. My tank is on a stand and it is a really tall, rather than long tank. They can not reach the top of it, so I'm FARILY certain it wasn't...

Originally Posted by promisetbg What do you have in the tank for circulation? It is possible the tank is short of oxygen. Do you have a glass cover on the tank? Is the temp fluctuating? I have three powerheads in addition to the one on my skimmer. I had some issues when I first set my tank...

Ok. I really appreicate you all taking an interest and trying to help. My husband does not know the full extent of death in my tank yet. I am a stay at home mom of three, and my children tend not to pay very well, so he has financed this little hobby of mine from the beginning. I can't...

I have used tap water since set up. I know it's not recommended, but r/o is not readily available for me. I did buy an additive when I set my tank up that you are supposed to add whenever you add tap water, and it's supposed to "make it safe". I can understand where that would be questioned...

I really appreciate everyone responding. I was thinking the same thing about the inverts. I could not understand why my inverts seem to be thriving, but my fish are all dead. It's just so frustrating. My tank is in my playroom, it's a really wide and high tank rather than skinny and long...

I just checked on them. The sand sifter is agaisnt one of my shells and the pink one is behind some of my lr. They have both moved since yesterday, so I am assuming they are alive. How can I tell? Since the puffer first showed signs of not being well, I have done three or four 40% water...

I appreciate that. I can not tell you how much it sucks! (sorry for the language) I really loved them, especially my puffer. He was awsome. I've actually posted his pic on this site several times.

Ok, I honestly have no idea what is going on, how to fix it, or what to do now. I'll try to keep this to the point, but I know you all will need some background. I have a 125 gal fowlr. I set it up on Jan. 2 of this year. I cycled months ago and was going along perfectly. I keep a log of my...

Wow....alot of questions. I will answer what I can....and I'll feel bad about the ones I can't. I honestly had no idea they were somewhat tedious to care for. They are in a high flow, low light area of my tank. I have never witnessed any fish nibbling at them. I will have to get back to you...

I have a 125 gal tank, fowlr. Several months ago I felt I needed to add some color, so bought two pieces of orange tree sponge. They seem to have been doing great. This morning, as I look at them, I see white on the edges. Is this the sponge dying? Or is this algea? I know either way it's...

The one at the zoo was the Naso. I've been looking for one more big fish to complete my tank. I'm really starting to feel like this might be it. I can't tell all of you how much I appreciate all of your help. Whenever a question comes up, I immediately think to come here. My husband is...
