I did some Google search and couldn't come up with a conclusive answer
as to whether Maracyn would hurt my Bamboo Shrimps.  Does anyone know?
I am beginning to see a possible infestation of Blue Green Algae and I
am preparing for the oncoming battle.

I was cleaning my tank on Wed and discovered that my 2 Kribs have laid eggs!
There looks to be in total about 150 eggs scattered in my rock cave.  As far
as I can tell, they must have laid the eggs either on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I'm fairly new to the hobby, and entirely new to ...

Hiya
I recently bought a couple of plants and put them in my tank and went
away on holiday for a few days. Apon my return I found maybe 5 or 10
snails that had never been there before. I took them all out and a few

pressure (not like a faucet, but substantial).  The other one has a
terrible flow rate and I can hardly even feel it when I put my finger

Hi. I have had a 10 gallon aquarium for about two months. I have an
external power filter, a bubble-wall, and a heater. My pH has remained
steady at ~7.6.
Over the lifetime of my aquarium I have had four fish; three have died

I have a cardinal tetra that I noticed had one white dot on each eyeball.
None of the others have it.  Otherwise it acts normally.  Is one of those
dips likely to help?  The dip seems like a quick easy thing to do, if it
works.

I was looking at some at my local Home Depot.  The rocks seem very
porous and probably can support quite a good bio filter.  Anyone with
experience with these rocks instead of gravel?

I have a 12g NanoCube, planted, with 5 frisky golden barbs in it. The
gravel is fluorite, which I assume contributes to the silicate level,

covering the plant surfaces. I usually rub them off, but naturally,

Fer real! Today I went over to my local pet store and purchased a very
small [2¹/² inches long] Plecostomus [Pleco] catfish.  But that's
not the fish that I am posting about here. Within the clear plastic bag
full of aerated fresh water and my little Pleco, was a little tiny fish,
