Hi fish-friends! I have a 55g cycled, stable tank stocked with 1 albino birstlenose pleco, 4 neon tetras, and 3 glow fish. I am majorly understocked but I like it that way :) Right now I have just plain old black gravel and a bunch of plastic plants, a small bubble strip, and some other decor...

I have a 55g cycled freshwater tank. The tank is understocked with 4 tiger barbs and 2 platys. They all get along great and the tank has been stable for 6 months… until now.    A month or so ago, i noticed one of my normally vibrant barbs looking a little beat up. His fins look a little ragged...

Hello! I am new too :)

Sadly, we just euthanized him Its crazy how fast he went downhill - he started floating upside down and the other fish suddenly started attacking him. I don't think he would have lived another hour even without the other fish in there. After putting him down, I was able to look closer at this...

A little, they seem to be sticking out a little. Normally his scales are smooth.  Do you think its dropsy?

I began treating my tank for ich on Sunday using Kordon Ich Attack. I have 8 fish and one albino barb was showing symptoms. I also started treating the tank with Melafix on Sunday.   Since beginning treatment with Ich Attack, my albino barb looks much worse. I am wondering if maybe its not ich...

Kordon Ich Attack I have a Tetra whisper -- I just removed both filter cartridges and put them in my water change bucket with about an inch of water from the tank and covered with a towel. They meant to keep the media (so I can keep all my beneficial bacteria)

I have had an outbreak of ich in my tank. I started a treatment regime today and the instructions said I should remove the filter media... My questions are: - do I need to keep the filter media wet or can they be exposed to air while outside the filters? - my LFS said I should administer the...

Oh no!!! I just looked at my notebook where I keep my test results... Ammonia was .5 ppm!!!! Is it going to be okay that I added the nutrafin? Should I remove the filter media from the old tank?

Okay. I wasn't planning on adding fish immediately, more trying to figure out a game plan moving forward :) the over feeding actually occurred over a period of 13 days, about 2-1/2 weeks ago. I was feeding on my usual schedule, and then my boyfriend would feed, and then my mother in law who...

Yes, 55g tank was cycled, I used the water from the 20g to fill about 15% of the new tank, and used some of the gravel from the old tank as well (I read that the substrate has good bacteria as well). I just tested the water again today and my Ammonia is at 5ppm (my fault... I over fed them)...

Hey Everyone. I have a couple of questions First, I have a 55g freshwater tropical tank that I just upgraded from a 20g. My fish are happy and healthy, but I am wondering for suggestions on how to stock it. Right now I have 5 tiger barbs and 3 red wag platies. I stumbled upon the platies and...
