    Baby Gar swim bladder disease? HELP

    Just found my 4" Florida Gar floating on top of the tank. Looks like a swim bladder problem since it can't swim down at all. Just did a 30% water change. Tank is at 80F. What do I do? He looks so lifeless. I don't want to lose the lil guy.

    Is this normal for a Gar?

    My humble outdoor pond :)

    Just sharing my humble outdoor pond of which I hardly have time to take care of. Surprisingly though, the inhabitants flourish in there regardless of the lack of filtration. All I have in there is a 2.5hp water pump for constant water flow over some japmats for bio. Other than that, a bi monthly...

    About a year ago, my wife and I were browsing a fish shop that we frequent, looking for a nice bichir or even an eel to put in our beloved glass box of beautiful creatures, when I saw a sad little fella with big eyes all alone in a murky 10 gallon.

    Filter media Inside Overflow

    Has anyone considered increasing your filter surface area by installing media of some kind in your overflow? I just setup my new aquarium and feel that the space is wasted.
