    Zebra Danios

    My danios stayed at the top of the tank when i first tranfered them but then they got used to the filter that had alot faster flow than they were used to. It is completely normal for them to do that. They swim at medium level to top level. Maybe try to increase the flow or something.

    Are root tabs mandatory?

    I use root tabs and they do a great job at making plants grow very quickly so i would recommend it but you dont have to. I also use THRIVE all in one fertilizer you can get it off of amazon.

    Growth On Fish?

    I also read that they are not that much of a problem to the fish and that you shouldent worry much but it just depends it could be a disease or just nothing. My axolotle has one and he has lived a long and healthy life. I would add aquarium salt just in case because it is harmfull to the fish.

    Growth On Fish?

    Whatever it is, it is probably caused by poor water quality . I would do a water change and add aquarium salt.

    HELP ,MY GUPPY GETS SICK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    It has to be non iodized salt with no addatives so not table salt. Like kosher salt.

    HELP ,MY GUPPY GETS SICK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    I would try to treat them all with salt or they will most likely all die.

    HELP ,MY GUPPY GETS SICK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    Do you dechlorinate the water? I think that the fish has dropsy which isnt good so I would buy some test kits to test the water and some aquarium salt good luck. But it is good that you quarantined him. Do any of your other fish have dropsy?

    HELP ,MY GUPPY GETS SICK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    Sometimes they get constapated but it should be fine. But are you definently sure that it is a male. If not, can you take a pic of the underside so I can tell if its a female because it looks like a pregnant female.

    If he was recently moved he might just be asjusting that is why he isnt as active.

    Fish (species or types) you'll never keep again?

    How do I remove algae from gravel?

    You can get a fish that could clean the gravel for you like shrimp or a bn pleco. Or have you tried gavel vacumming the rocks or does that not pull the algae of the rocks.

    Rescaping 20 gallon and advice for other tanks

    Pretty much every fish disease is caused by doing something wrong with your fish or fish tank and if you read up on the disease then you would know.
