My guess is that he is just old. What are your water perimeters?

Could be overfeeding or the food you are feeding them could be expired. My fish started behaving in the same way a few years back and it turned out that they had internal parasites. I'm not saying that your fish is sick but thats a worst case scenario and you should be ready for it. Good luck

Thank you for your feedback. The tank is heavily planted with anubias, sword tails, floating plants and a few more. I have some driftwood as well as 2 rocks and so far only one cave. The nitrates, nitrites and ammonia are all 0 or close to zero. I do regular water changes every two weeks and I...

these are ballon mollies. They are much smaller and rounder. Your molly could be pregnant or fat you will know in a couple of days time.

True. Also remember that you don't NEED to have a sand substrate for corydoras. Smaller and well rounded rocks are completely fine.

If you want to keep shrimp make sure you get some mosses and ferns. Some floating plants wouldn't hurt either. If you want to cycle your tank faster and you already have an existing tank, consider tanking some filter media, substrate and decorations and moving them to your new tank. This will...

hello my guess is that its a sailfin pleco. If you never kept plecos before here are some things to remember: 1. Plecos are nocturnal, meaning they are mostly active at night. Thats when they feed and should be fead. Feed your plecos when the lights are out and the room is dark. You can feed...

I don't know which pleco this is. How big is the tank you are keeping it in right now? If it over 80l its usually fine for smaller plecos. I recommend that you ask the store you got it from which type this is.

Currently in my 180l planted tank I have 2 angels (had 4 but 2 of them died when I was away) 2 blue gouramis, 3 panda garras and 3 bristelnose plecos. I was thinking about adding 2 more angelfish. Would the 9 months old angelfish attack the smaller ones? I also thought about adding a pair of...

Hi I have two angelfish which may or may not have paired, I don't know for sure. I was feeding them heavily with blood worms and notices that this female is getting really fat. I could have been over feeding them but they would always eat everything really fast. I didn't feed them one day and...

Thanks there is a lot of alge (especially the one growing on glass thats easy to remove, together with some green and brown alge). Speaking of calcium affecting shells; Is the shell growing or is it calcium deficency

Hello, For about 3 weeks now I haven't seen my 2 nirate snails. For the first 3 months they were going around the aquarium all the time, but now they just hide underneath the driftwood. I found both of them and they are alive but they are just hiding. I never kept snails before so I'm new to...

Happy to help

If he has a lot of hiding spaces he should be fine. These fish are very shy and if they are not in a school they will want to hide. They will hide even if they are in a school. Important thing to remember; khuli loaches are a nocturnal fish meaning they feed at night and are not really active...

Hello I heard some controversial opinions about keeping betta with shrimp. I think that, if enough live plants and hiding spaces are provided it could be done. I just finished cycling a 10 gallon for a betta and was wondering if I could keep/breed shrimp in there.

I kept gouramis and angelfish in the same tank for a year now and the angelfish never attacked the gouramis

Thanks I was just wondering

Hi I have a quick question. Will two grown angelfish (a male and a female) pair up and spawn? Ik if you want a pair you need to get 6-8 juveniles and let them pair off naturally but what about two grown angelfish with perfect conditions for breeding. Will they pair off? Thanks

I think it's a bristlenose pleco and it is a female. The males have bristles on their noses (hence the name). I could be wrong about the gender. How old is it. You should know the spices in a couple months. But I'm pretty sure about the spices. I have two females who look exactly the same. The...

Yes. I have two angelfish, 3 panda garras, 3 bristlenose plecos

Hello and thank you. Currently I have a breeding pair of gouramis. I'm having troubles with them because the male is really aggressive. I would also like to breed angelfish and plecos. I have them all in the same 180l tank. Thanks for the link

update. The females fins are damaged should I remove the male or? In the past increasing the surface disturbance would be enough to get rid of the nest and the males aggression but idk if it will work this time

Hello. I have two blue gouramis, a male and a female. The male has been building bubble nests every now and then but the female doesn't seem to be in the mood for breeding. The female comes underneath the bubble nest, and the male wraps himself around her but she never releases eggs, so she just...

Hello. I would try feeding your pleco some zucchini or green beans.

Hi, I'm Nik and I kept tropical fish for 5 years now. I have a 180l tank (around 50 gallons). I really enjoy keeping fish and hope to get into breeding soon. I would love to learn more about this hobby.
