Currently, I have 2 10-gallon tanks set up, one with 6 guppies and one with 6 tetras in it. Is there any way I could add more fish to either of the tanks or is it already full?

He passed away :( I loved him so much. I think I'm finally done with bettas. Love them but can't deal with losing another As I said above, he was behaving normally this whole time and ate food but suddenly, he was at the bottom one morning. Wasn't eating, moving, nothing. Passed away a day or...

Thank you! Also, would having some neon tetras in the tank with them work (about 4-5) or would it not?

I'm starting a new tank (10 gallons) and was thinking of getting some Gardneri Panchax Killifish. Some questions: how many killifish in a 10 gallon? (it is going to be a heavily planted/ maybe botanical style aquarium) Can I put only males? (I want them for the males color and don't want to...

I totally agree! At first, I heard that they are sensitive fish and I was scared since they were my 3rd kind of fish I kept. But it's now been around 5 months and they are pretty hardy as you said! I have only lost 1 since (thats bc he was a baby tetra and he got sucked into the filter :( )

update 2: Day 7 He made it through the night and I did a 50% water change and dosed kanaplex along with an epsom salt bath (15 min) Very Lethargic (sudden change from yesterday) but pineconing is almost gone (at least from the top view of him). He eats...but only pellets, nothing else As for...

update 1: still continuing treatment. I’m on day six. Pineconing and swellinng has not gone down. Along with that, he spits his food out 3 hours after I feed him. But he still eats the pellets, but idk how much he spits out and how much he has digested. Dosing kanaplex and doing salt baths…he...

Should I isolate the fish and do this or do it in the main tank?

unfortunately, I see some pineconing today but i'm happy that I started treatment the day (3 days prior to this thread) right after I saw bloating without pineconing. The ONLY time my impulsivity has helped me! I hope I have success with him. He has still been eating and energetic for the most...

Okay thanks for clarifying. I was just confused because I’ve seem on other fish forums that u aren’t suppose to respond after a while. Anyway, here is some pictures of the fish. Im still not sure what he has but a couple months ago, I put him in quarentine and treated him with maracyn but...

I have neon tetras! those all seem like good options, I'll have to buy them! :)

got it! thanks. Will try all your advice. Oops, forgot to mention, my LFS sold me baby tetras, so they are half the size of the full size tetras...and i have 3 tiny ones and 4 biggish ones (which don't get bloated). I have frozen bloodworms and dried daphnia/bloodworms/mysis but I only feed...

idk if im allowed to still reply because its been 2 months but here's a little update: he's still alive and doing fish things. He behaves normal but he looks rough...progressively worse Idek how he has made it to this point

Just a little pinch 🤏 I swear! I have a 10 gallon. I’ll try that tmrw, thanks 😊

I have an issue when I feed my guppies and tetras tropical fish flakes, the tetras eat the whole thing and they get so bloated that they cant swim properly for the next hour... It goes back to normal in a couple of hours but regardless, I try to break the pieces up but then the guppies don't eat...

Will do! I got this one from a 5 star local fish store and surprisingly, he was the only one in his one little 5 gallon planted tank! -but yes, I know a lot of online betta breeders which have good quality bettas..we'll see if maybe one day I get one from one of these shops. (hopefully not...

thanks for the reply! I feel very passionate about keeping bettas in particular and it just sucks that they are genetically weak. Especially since I'm having bad luck with them. I may have to stick with keeping other kinds of fish sadly, if this one passes. But if im doing something wrong, I...

Let me start with....I hate coming on this sub forum basically every day because it means something is wrong. -however, this is an incredible site because I can rely on someone to reply to my emergency unlike some other fish forums. It's troubling because everytime I get a betta, something...

okay got it! Will update on him after a couple of weeks. Going to do frequent water changes like u said. Thanks! With what u said about him having prolapse, from what I can see. Only on his right side, I can see someone sort of organ of his and it is white so im assuming its not fungal right?

Oh no! That's some bad news. Will Espom salt baths help?
