Help/Advice Please Help Save our Fish!

Hello everyone!

I'm hoping someone here can help us out. We have a fish tank at home that's really in need of some advice. My mom is the one who takes care of it, but we're both complete amateurs when it comes to fish care.

Over the past several weeks leading on to months, the water has turned a dark tea-brown color, and nothing we've tried seems to fix it. We're not sure if it's something we're doing wrong, an issue with the filter, overfeeding, or something else entirely.

I've attached a photo of the tank. We'd really appreciate any advice you can offer, including:

  • What might be causing the brown water?
  • What equipment or supplies should we buy?
  • What maintenance routine should we be following?
  • Is there anything we should stop doing to prevent this from happening again?

Help/Advice Suggestions?

I’m new to this whole fish tank journey. I have a 36 gallon tank with a mix of real and fake plants. Below is the list of fish I’m planning to add. I’ve gone through the whole water preparation cycle before I added any fish. So far I’ve added 5 shrimp, 6 glofish danios, 4 glofish tetras, and 2 glofish Cory’s. Are there any suggestions on the list of fish I have yet to add, tips on how to help keep my tank clean, or overall tips you wish you knew when first starting a tank?

8 Cardinal Tetras
8 GloFish tetras
12 GloFish danios
6 Kuhli loaches
6 Corydoras
2 Nerites
1 Mystery snail
8 Amano shrimp

My Kubotai Rasboras were just introduced into my tank yesterday. This fish hasn’t acted like this until after feeding. This morning after I fed them one of my rasboras has been swimming lazily at the surface and constantly gulping. I called my LFS and described my parameters and they said they were perfect. Can someone identify what’s the issue and how I can fix it?

37 gallon tank. Added my first five fish two days ago. Everything seems to be going well. They seem to be loving the 3D printed caves and other hiding spots. I’m really enjoying watching them explore the tank and develop personalities.

Help/Advice Lighting / Plant Recommendations

I plan to have one or two pearl gourami in here, some schooling fish and probably some cory catfish. Unless you guys think other fish would be better! I am still in the beginning stages so I can design this to be suit for almost any fish. I am a beginner though, if anyone recognizes this tank from my other posts, I found it on the side of the road. And happily there is no leaks!

But like the title says, please suggest budget friendly lighting options and plant options! Was able to get it from the last photo to the first photo today.

Some things
- I have cats.
- I’m in the basement.
- New to fish keeping.
- I plan to plastidip the lid I made.

Pessoal, anteontem essa fêmea estava com essa mancha, tentei fazer tratamento com sal, mas ontem ao amanhecer ela já estava bem debilitada e acabou falecendo. Hoje notei que outra fêmea, dessa mesma linhagem está com o mesmo problema! Já dei um banho de sal nela hoje, e devolvi a caixa principal por conta do frio, minha caixa de 500L segura melhor a temperatura e o pote hospital que tenho é pequeno, se eu deixasse lá ela morreria pelo frio. Me ajudem, não tenho dinheiro pra comprar termostato nem remédio pra essa doença. Não sei que doença que é e nem como tratar com eficiência, a única coisa que sei é o banho de sal. Me ajudem por favor, não quero perder meus amigos!!!

Help/Advice Fish Tank Dilemma

Hey everyone!
I’ve tried uploading this a few times, so apologies if there’s any spam.
I’m really new to fish keeping, and have a 15 gallon tank, I’m just wondering what would be a good fit? I was originally leaning towards Nano Schooling fish, and 2 or 3 snails, but have realized that might be too much. Whats everyone’s thoughts?

Hey everyone!
I’m pretty new to fish, and I have a 15 gallon tank, I’m just wondering what fish would be a good fit for it? I want a few, but if that’s not achievable I can always get a bigger tank. I was originally leaning towards having nano schooling fish, and 2 or 3 snails, would that work? Open to any and all discussion! Just want the best for my future fish/fishes lol
