Yes. 2.5gal with a bubble filter. I heard doxycycline is one of the worst when it comes to killing benefitial bacteria so I’d definitely not treat a main tank with it.

Hello. So I have a fish with popeye (lovely dumbo Betta I bought with the problem). I tried kanaplex for a week and I thought that handled the problem (eye had cloudy spots at the end of treatment but I thought maybe it was just odd colouring. but it relapsed and came back. I tried doxycycline...

Hello! So early March I adopted (petsmart gave it to me for free) this glow betta which had swim bladder problem. Since it was so easy to solve I suspect it was just really bad constipation. Just an Epsom salt bath and fasting solved it. Unlike my other adoption which was struggling with swim...

I thought they don’t lay eggs? Don’t they birth straight to larvae?

Hello! So I have some wild guppies. Found out they had some sort of parasite (multipule kinds of OVA parasites and today found some camallanus cotti worms). I also have wild shrimp and snails in there. I have metroplex and was contemplating treating them but thinking I’ll just throw the guppies...

Ah ok. I was doing a wild tank and just scooped them out of my stream. And plopped them into a tank with each other so there wasn’t really a need to quarentine since it was just them. Good to know about the snails and shrimp though. I got a few other tanks I can treat them in so I’ll try that. A...

How would that work? Do I separate them out for feeding? Although I’m not seeing any parasitic worms. Just the ovas.

Hello! So I got a new batch of some wild guppies a few months ago and noticed a couple developed dropsy. Took some of their poop and stuck it under the microscope and found these guys. They moving around a lot and when they go on their sides they are the same sorta shape as a red blood cell...

Hello! I adopted a Betta yesterday. He has a swim bladder issue that apparently was going on for about a month or 2 in the store. Slight finrot aswell but that’s the least of his concern right now. He’s slightly pale but not too bad and I have him in half a gallon of water with stress coat and...

I wanted to get a fluval replacement but they wanted 40$ for just the light! I said no obviously lol. I think I found a 7w adjustable brightness one so going to give that a go:)

The fluval 2.5 I bought second hand and it came with a crappy light which wasn’t the original. And on the 5gal the light in there is also starting to die (noticed a few leds aren’t working) so figured it’s about time to get new ones. Besides I think a bit extra light will help out. They are low...

Hello! I have a 3gal and 5 gal both planted and in need of new lights. So far the lights they have (1.5w with 3led light, and 2.5w with 6led light). The plants are growing pretty slowly but still doing well. The plants I have in there are pretty low tech. (Although I just added a rosette sword...

Ah. Some crystals do indeed mess with water but quartz doesnt luckily.

Really? Shame I tried to get a better pic. but he keeps moving and my phone is trash. Any idea what it could be then. Because the spots are new but they are fluffy and I don’t remember ich being fluffy. What are signs of malnutrition? The guy eats like a beast. Gets 3-4 flakes twice a day. Omega...

Yup for a span of a couple of weeks I had him in just an empty tank with some salt and changed half the water every other day. Unfortunately didn’t do too much. Haven’t got any test strips with me right now but when he got injured the parameters in the old tank were an abomination I suspect...

Hey. So my Betta got stuck in his filter AGAIN a few months ago and really messed up his fins. (I’ve now changed his tank so it doesn’t happen again). It’s been an endless battle trying to get the finrot under control from it. Was changing half the water every couple of days and gave hikari...

Hello so I’ve got a Bala shark and pleco in 75 gal (ik that’s too small. Gonna upgrade when I get round to it) I’ve tried SOOOOOO many plants but the 2 of them just wreck anything I put in there. Literally gone through 100s$ of plants from just these guys. All my other plants in other tanks are...

O god I’m gonna get hate for this but currently a Bala, pleco, angel and gourami. Looking at getting a bigger tank tho. Had them a very long time and they are doing alright.

Huh. Never knew that. Live in Hawaii and that’s the temperature here. Or at least that’s room temp. Unfortunately can’t just turn a heater dial to make it cooler xD

Hello. I’ve got a 75gal marieneland tank. Got alot of elodea and hornwart in there already but wanted to try something a bit different and rooted. The light is pretty crappy but was hoping to find something to make the tank look a bit better. So far my ideas for plants are: Banana plant...
