okay, I’ll do some of that. Should I do salt first or deworming?

Hello! I recently separated this senior platyfish from my main tank, and I see thet his color and skin smoothness isn’t as consistent as before. Is it okay if I reintroduce him to the main tank? he is active and willing to eat, and i’m worried for his long term well being if he’s just in this...

Hello! One of my first platies, which i have had for maybe 2 years now is looking weird, so I have separated him. He is eating well and is active. However he’s kind of lumpy which concerns me. I’m going to be going on vacation for 10 days, and only have a feeder in the main tank, wondering if i...

Hmm, i will definitely check those out. I always assumed that they were too saline or something for my freshwater fish. i totally agree, Would it be preferred to acclimate new, smaller gouramis to the tank?

okay, I have not had success raising sirindhornae for live food yet, but i have a variety of frozen ones. Should i feed them more frozen high protein foods? and i feel like after the die-off of gouramis, the aggression is not dispersed as well, since there are only a few left and no male.

I've read here or somewhere else that it is best not to keep different types of gourami together, as they will fight. I will recommend getting more pearl gouramis instead, since they get very large!

okay! After some observation I think it is actually mostly aggression, her body seems to be plump again now. Is there anything to change in my feeding besides deworm them to minimize aggression?

Hello! here are photos of the rest of the tank. photos are slightly blurry as they were sent across text

from a heater issue, the male died in winter. There are 3 or 4 females in total now. I'm currently away, and my mother has been taking care of the tank. She missed a dead fish (old age?, a very old guppy.) and is currently doing maintenance to rehab the tank back to health. Other fish that have...

Hello! This gourami looks quite sad, but I am not sure why, other gouramis look plump and well.

I feel like this is the same for shrimp! $40 for half an inch sometimes... That fish is really pretty though, looks like a small salmon

i see, our water is definitely from a river, so that is the most likely scenario. hmm, I don't think it is bleaching, because the filter pushes all the duckweed to the side of the tank with the sword , and even if i remove half of it the duckweed still covers it. That might be the case...

yes, there is a very great temperature difference. hmm, that is very interesting, as in high temperatures my sword does not do well, however in very low temperatures it does amazing. yes, I do use them, I will replenish them now since I'm not sure the last time that I did them thank you...

Hello! As summer rolls in, for the second year now my amazon sword melts aggressively from the crown. I’ve lost one of them last year because of this. every single leaf rots from the base. during winter, it grows very fast and healthily What is the problem here?

I can’t find my crabs however, no foul smell or anything. I didn’t feed them anything ( since i cant find them) but there are tons of small bugs and dead leaves that they always eat

A long time update!! The paludarium is thriving

Thank you. I will use API General cure.

it isnt eating as well did not see it poop I was very busy and not paying much attention to such a small fish, but not extremely quickly Feeding it a variety of freeze dried protein, flakes

This medaka got a lot thinner and less active, wondering if this is parasites or she just finished laying eggs or something else? The other one is very plump and bright

woah, that sure is a lot of gnats. It's already warmed up a little bit here, and the gnats are going crazy!

Thanks! I'll try to find myself some worms as well. and @GaryE , how did you prepare your alcohol solution and how did you use it? i think these two in conjunction will help kill them faster.

Hello, There is a fungus gnat infestation in my paludarium, and I'm using mosquito bits, however there are still many adult bugs flying around. what materials can I use to make a spray that I can spray the gnats with that if there is residue in the water section will not harm the animals inside...
