Peas and green veggies are a great deterant for swim bladder as well as a good cure if the swim bladder is not bacterial based. An antibiotic is what you need to be treating your fish with since it seems to be leaning towards the bacterial. Changing water often doesn't cure swimbladder even if...

More than likely if you have live rock, they are some sort of pod. Copepods, amphipods, and other "pods". Your mandarin needs these to survive in the tank. He will not survive on blood worms and pellets. This is the most common cause of faitality in manderins. Established tanks with an ample...

Unfortunately I too have to agree. The care for a hippo in this tank is not suitable. You should have a wave maker on this tank as well. Hippos need lots of rock work and lots of swimming area here with turbulent water conditions to survive healthy. A 35 just doesn't meet that criteria. I...

PH is fine 1/4 weekly water changes are fine too. Chances are your phosphates are high. This could be coming from the tap water which may have changed. Cloudy green is an algae bloom. You may want to look into phosphate pads to run on your filter. This will help as well. Have you changed...
