For a while now, I have been suffering with or by the infestation of Barbronia Weberi and it doesn't seem like it's going away. Please, what's the best way to get rid of them permanently?

Please I'm in a serious situation right now with my tank as I noticed that my water pH is very high at 13. I know that it's not good for the health of my fish and also the temperature is quite high as well at 36 degrees.

How can I get these fixed as soon as possible?

I feel that my fishes are suffering from stunted growth. They should have grown at least 4 inches by now but they are still barely 2.5 inches. The fish I'm talking about is Clown Plecos.

What could be the problem?

What's the random question that's related to fishes which you have always wanted to ask and most likely get answers?

Mine would be, do fishes eat lettuce?

I'm looking for the best species of plants that I'm going to grow in my fish tank. I already have Echinodorus grisebachii and Hygrophila difformis.

Which one's would you recommend?

I have been observing my fishes for 5 days now and I could vehemently come to the conclusion that they all appeared restless and tired. What could normally cause that because I know they I feed them properly.

Personally for me, it's going to be purchasing Three Spot Gouramis and have it kept in my smaller tank. I wasn't aware they needed larger tank to grow bigger to at least 5 inches but mine just managed 3 inches.

I have an important business meeting that's going to take me at least 10 days before I get back to my house. Do you think that my fishes would survive till I get back?

I have been trying to know what's the best schedule for carrying out sand vacuuming because I don't want to do it in a way that's it's going to be a problem for my fishes and I just recently treated one of my fishes from Ich.

There are so many varieties of fishes to stock in your tank but there will definitely be one's that you love most. My favorite happens to be Dwarf Neon Rainbow fish and it's very appealing.

What's your favorite?

I have been online for 3 hours or more sourcing new items that I would like to add to my tank. I have seen a few that I liked their designs but I'm not yet done.

My biggest mistake I've made in the hobby was getting into the hobby.

How's your hobby a mistake? But that's by the way. I think my biggest mistake with salt water tank set up was getting a fresh water fish for a salt water environment 😂.. I got carried away.

I have not tried to train my fishes but they do recognize me and display a particular type of movement swimming around whenever I go near the tank.

I think any living thing that you feed will always recognize you in one way or another and it's why they make such observable movements whenever they see you.

Having your tank overcrowded with fishes. This is one of the biggest mistakes newbies make with their new fish pond. It's not about the number of fishes in the tank but how healthy it would be for them.

It depends on the kind of fishes that I have at the moment in my tank. If they are the type that loves to come afloat of the water, I will definitely leave a space for them but if not, I will have it filled fully.

I have a fish pond in my farmhouse. I made the pond to raise goldfish but the woman I hired to look after the pond did not take good care of the fish and they died. Now, I am raising edible fish on the pond.

She's a very wicked woman. This is one of the reasons why I don't like to handover managing of any of my investments to anyone. If I can't do it myself, I will sell it off and have my capital and little profit in my pocket. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Your fishing plan is what that should decide what you would go for in my opinion. If you have plans of doing it for a long run, then it's better to start with as big a as possible but if for a short period of time, then starting small is better.

Change is something that's always constant in life, so if I happen to get bored of my fish tank design which I doubt would be happening anytime soon because of the time it took me to get a perfect design, I would switch things up to give it a new look.

There is a way I use some obstructing materials to make their space smaller for them to run away easily for me which makes it very much easier to catch them without any stress.

A bacteria infection called Aeromonasinfection was what hit my fishes one time in the past. I kept treating it and it kept on coming back. It killed at least 3 of my fishes before I was able to fix it.
