I thought of buying bottled water or the water they sell at pet stores, but with 12 tanks and my largest being 55 gallons, I dont think I could afford to do it that way. I do have Seachem Prime, as well as Stability, Stress Guard, Paraguard, and Amguard if the Ammonia gets too bad. Testing all...

Hello! The rule of thumb is usually an inch of fish per gallon. There are exceptions of course. So following that rule of thumb, you could probably put a fair number of them in there without any issue. Corydoras are also social little guys, so you want at least 3. 5 or 6 would be better and...

So I figured this would be a good place to vent about my woes with the severe wildfires in the state of Colorado. They impact our air, the smoke makes it hard to breathe, my eyes burn all the time, sometimes ash falls out of the sky, and the smoke is killing flowers and plants in my gardens...

Yes, those gold ones are stunning. I've wanted to buy some, but I worry with how long shipping is taking internationally that they wouldn't survive. I love my guppies, but I was fortunate to buy a pregnant female at a local privately owned aquarium store and she gave birth to amazing...

Any idea what kind? Antibiotics are pretty tough to come by these days... might help to know what I'm dealing with. Trying to peruse Google also.

I came home from work today to find my yellow male Guppy has this strange pink round bump on it's tail fin. I've never seen this before.... or even heard of it. :oops::confused:

Actually these are true "full gold guppies", but they're bred in Thailand... only place I've seen them.

Definitely not scuds, 95% sure they're seed shrimp. They're too round and small for scuds.

That's what I was thinking, put them in my guppy nursery tank... keep it clean and feed the fry. I'm just not sure how big they get. If they remain tiny, I wouldn't mind maybe putting them in all the tanks... I just wouldn't want them to take away from the appeal of the tank. I have 12 tanks...

Well, I looked up some videos and judging by how they move, I think you are correct. So here's my next question... are they good or bad? I'm seeing a lot on the internet that they're actually beneficial and would actually feed my baby guppies I have as well. Thoughts anyone?

Interesting. I dont overfeeding the Bettas though, so that's rather odd. I give them 5 Betta Bits (little pellets) a day and that's it. My hospital tanks are totally empty of fish. Any idea how I got them? Only live plants I have are the Moss Balls.

The Bettas seemed oblivious to them. I didnt see any on the fish themselves. I dont have fish in that tank currently, but in the Betta tanks there were tons and tons of them. They were all over my moss balls though

So they are still swimming around in my hospital tanks. They are tiny tiny little things, my phone camera has a very hard time focusing in, but gave it a try. Again, arrows to the bigger ones, circles around super tiny ones.

No, they were completely round. My boyfriend found a bigger sized one on top of the Betta tank and killed it. He said it was a little round bug also. They also zipped around in the water. When I added the bleach, they swam rapidly in circles.

Forgot to mention, I *tried* to get a picture. I'll post the only one I got, but it sucks. The one with the arrow is more of an adult, the little blurs are the tiny ones, I think babies?

It's a miracle they manage to reproduce in the wild. The female is removed after laying her eggs in the male's bubble nest, then the male tends to the eggs and the female leaves. I think they go it right as far as that goes ;)

Hi all, hope this is the right subject. I have a Betta setup with private sections that I connected together using bridging. I went to clean it day before yesterday and there were thousands of these tiny bugs swimming around. I didnt add anything new. They were not on the fish and didn't seem...

Sounds worth a try. I know the pet stores don't carry that particular medicine, so I'll have to browse good ol' Amazon. Today she's lot more lethargic, she likes resting on the plants. What is very puzzling is that the spot on her side with the white thing coming out is worse. I'm a trained...

That's very helpful, now I just have to figure out which of the three. It's not stringy and white, just kinda thick and white. She was treated for 7 days with General Cure previously. I'll see if I can find more info on her condition tomorrow. Thank you.

So her poop was normal colored before she swelled up like a balloon. If the odd looking stuff in the tank is her poop, it's white now. She just got that odd part on her side today. I thought maybe a parasite, but doubtful with the salt. I agree the salt is helping to pull some of the fluid...

She's eating, ravenously actually. I ran out of testing strips, supplies have been harder to get with COVID going on. Hopefully can get those numbers tomorrow if I'm able to find some testing supplies. It is a cycled hospital tank, as is her home. My water here runs hard and alkaline. There...

So sorry, I didn't get a notification of this. None of mine got red lines, are they like hanging off the fish or they're on the body? Pics would help. I feel so bad, you posted this quite some time ago, so may be too late with a reply

Hi all, Request Help with sick Guppy Tank size: Hospital Tank, 3 gallons, Normal home is 10 gallons pH: 7.2 tank temp: 78F, preset mini heater Fish Symptoms: This one is tough. I was treating all of my guppies and all tanks for internal parasites with a week long treatment of General Cure. I...

Thank you, yes I did. I hate to say it, but I get attached to my finny friends. I don't like to lose any of them, although my family has the same reaction... "It's just a fish".

You're very welcome. I've had some pass that didn't get really skinny also, but two of them did. So it's a potential symptom. I've had luck with the General Cure if I extend treatment to a week. My 55 gal has all healthy fish, as well as my 30 gal. Just still treating my 10 gallons with the...
