thanks so much for replying! sadly soon after posting, the swordtail passed away, i did however go to the fish store and noticed the tank i got him from was being treated for disease:( a lot of their tanks are going through some sort of containment for disease so i won’t be buying from there for...

Alright, so i recently got two new fish for my 20 gallon tank. 1 cory(i plan on getting more since i know they like to be together) and 1 lyre tail swordtail which i also planned on getting more. Ever since getting the sword tail he has been sitting on the bottom of the tank rarely moving, he’s...

So today I went to move around some decor in my fish tank that only has one angelfish in it, named Tom. As soon as I stuck my hand in the tank, Tom freaked out swimming and hitting the walls of the tank and I slowly removed my hand from the tank and he sunk to the bottom of the tank. It’s like...

awesome! i’ll keep an eye on them, i have a few more inhabitants in the tank, 4 tiger barbs, a panda barb, a rainbow shark, and a paradise gourami, i know it’s quite a weird combination of fish, i sent my brother to the fish store to get more tiger barbs and he came with two tigers and the two...

i have two gold barbs that i recently got from my local fish store and they have adapted well in the tank and i like to call them twins because they just swim around together, anyways that’s besides the point. i was just watching my fish and noticed that one of the barbs was rubbing against the...

got it! i will definitely do that, thanks so much!

nice job! that’s a really brave thing to do, of course i’ll be listened to less because i am 16 i am considered brainless to many older folks, i’ll do my best to give them an ear full and tell them that these fish aren’t all the same, there were rainbow sharks and another type of shark i can’t...

wow thank you so much for the great advice, i plan on going back tomorrow to see what i can do to help them and speak to the manager about it, if worse comes to worse i will try to get the fish discounted and do my best to save them, i haven’t noticed an aspca near where i live but i will check...

i just went to walmart to get bedding and i couldn’t help but look over the fish area praying they were getting good treatment but i know it wasn’t likely. My favorite tropical fish is the angelfish so i instantly looked for them, i saw silver dollars with some fish i couldn’t recognize at first...

okay thank you, i thought i could trust mine as it is a very big fish store and one of the biggest in my state, usually they give out reliable information but i’ll be sure to do my research next time

i apologize i didn’t realize rainbow sharks required so much room, my local fish store told me it was okay for them in a 20gal, i do water changes once a week and take out about 25%, i treated with praziquantel for my other fish because i was told he may have worms.

he is with 2 other tiger barbs as one passed away a week ago, and one rainbow shark, i’m not sure of the ammonia nitrite or nitrate as i don’t have a kit, ik it’s bad i haven’t had the chance to pick on up, the tank is a 20gal and is 3 or 4 years old i can’t remember i feed my fish flakes, i...

my platinum green tiger barb is sitting at the bottom, when i turned on the light he swam up and had trouble swimming, swimming in circles but like up and down where he was going upside down. i need help asap, i tried feeding and he tried to eat and did the spin thing and sunk back down, he is...

okay i just treated the tank and followed the directions on the bottle, the other fish seem fine other than my platinum green tiger barb is swimming straight down and the second he stops he will start floating to the surface, could this be a sign the worms infected him too?

okay i will do that right away, is Praziquantel something i could buy at my local fish store? would i need to have the fish in quarantine tank while treating? thanks so much

i have 4 tiger barbs and 1 rainbow shark in a 20 gal and i do water changes once a week, today i did a very big water change in preparation to go to go to my local fish store and get more barbs, i noticed my red neon tiger barb was in oddly shaped. When i bought this tiger barb he was already...
