Bought Mari earlier today, and started the acclimation process when I noticed a rather large red sore  . She has since been moved and released into a quaratine tank.  It's so disappointing when you buy from a place you trust and this happens...   What could this be? How do I treat it?   

I looked up some images of the amano shrimp to compare the sides (had trouble getting a clear shot of the one I have). I think y'all are right.    Should I feed him algae pellets after transferring him to the larger tank? Or just let him do his thing? He's currently the only algae eater I have...

Any idea what breed it is? I don't want it to destroy my plants or kill my fish, and I know there are ghost shrimp look-a-likes that will do that. Also, I should add that his body is very straight. He doesn't have an angled back like you usually see. 

So I want to start by apologizing to the other post that I put this under. I'm still finding my way around this site!   I bought some ghost shrimp, and this guy was in the mix. Any idea what it is?

Thanks! All great stuff!       I had no idea that flake food wasn't within their diet. I did a ton of research and very frequently saw that flake food was fine. Although, a lot of people do insist that scraps are fine as well, and that wasn't going to happen and isn't happening now. They're my...

Hello! I have just recently adopted some Corydoras , and I could use some advise on feeding them.   I know they are scavengers and will find food that my Betta misses, but he seldom misses anything. I want to be sure that they are eating and are as healthy as possible. I could buy sinking fish...

There are some physical signs of illness you could start to look for if you are worried that your betta is sick:                      Unusual red splotches (bacterial infection)                      White and fuzzy growths (fungal infection)                      Fins curling (infection/fin rot)...
