Hello friends, One of my goldfish seems to be in distress! For two days no, he has just been at the bottom of the tank, dorsal fin down unless he moves for a little bit. No sign of any disease or parasite on him or other fish. I checked the water chemistry levels and everything was normal. I...

To be honest, I think it was the salt... I bet it was a lot of shock for those fish to go from pet store water to your water with lots of salt In it. Maybe try to just put fish in the water without salt. Usually salt is for treating diseases or doing weekly or monthly separate soaks to help...

Oh noooooooo! I do see that that one has a pretty rough case of tail rot! Im not quite sure what the white string like things on the tail of the other one is, but it could be a form of ick. Make sure you have bubblers in your tank (air pumps)!!! A medication that I use for when I get a case of...

I have experience with both planted gravel and sand. The gravel is good for the plants roots to wrap around. But even with sad, they still grow root, they just won't be as stable. But to help with stability in sand if your leaning towards that, you could get large rocks to set around the plants...

Hello all, I have wanted a salt water tank for a very long time now. But I just decided to do my research about them. I need to know your opinions on what to have in the tank, and things required for all the chemistry, just all the information. Please start from the beginning, I know nothing...

But the other ones lumps got really big. And some of them were like a pinkish color and white.

Yes, he is an albino one.

Hello friends. Just about a month ago, one of my dojo loaches started to form these weird blister like lumps on its body. Sadly, I couldn’t find out what was causing it. The dojo loach got super lethargic and stopped eating. I then made the decision to euthanize. Now one of my other dojo’s are...

I added nothing to the tank. It has been eating, but just today I had to hand feed. Don’t know what it’s poop looks like because it’s hard to tell with these guys. Also, it’s mostly at the top floating around and sometimes going sideways and almost belly up.

For the past few days, one of my dojo loaches has been floating at the top of the tank kinda just letting the current push it around. It also has weird markings on it. Please help. Should I euthanize? I have a 75 gal tank. 4 goldfish, 4 dojo loaches, and 1 snail. Nitrate: 0 Nitrite: 0 Ph: 8.0...

I don’t have any shrimp or crayfish. I do think that he just was swimming around through the wood and got scared and popped it out somehow. Do you think he’ll live?

This morning, everything was fine, all fish looked good. I walk out of the room for 30 mins, came back, and BAM! My black Moore was missing an eye. I have no idea how this happened 😰. Any suggestions on what to do? I was going to see if he would survive, but if he showed any signs of death, I...

My fish are doing the same thing, and one of them has red like vains in its tail. I was told to do 75% water changes every day for a week. And if they didn’t improve, use aquarium salt for 2 weeks. Maybe that will help yours? Best of luck!

Hello all, Just recently (about 4 days ago), one of my Goldfish started to get these red vain type things on his tail. Then days later, all of my Goldfish except for my new one, started to do this spazing/twitching movement around the tank. They also have been diving to the sand as if they are...

Thank you so much!

Is this for the white goldfish? He seems to have improved and the red is going down. I still need to know if I need to get another tank set up if this one is overstocked?

Do you think it would be safe to get another tank for the loaches?

I have had all of these fish for 3 years, except for the little black Moore, do you think they will grow more? I think they are staying at those size and won’t grow more. What do you think?

The tank is 48.4” long, 18.4” wide, and 21” tall. The nitrate level is at 0. The pleco’s are clown plecos and are both about 1 1/2 inches long. I change my water every week about less than half way. The goldfish’s tail does have red streaks on it, but the ammonia level is 0. (The white...

Hello all, I am wondering if my tank is overstocked? And if so, I will be getting another tank to make it more open. I have 4 goldfish, 4 dojo loaches, and 2 plecos, and 1 snail. My tank is a 75gal and the water chemistry is all good.

Thank you, don’t worry I have live plants in there.

Hello all! This is a silly question, but I want to make sure my fish are living a happy life. Do you think there are too many decorations in my tank? I have a 75 gal tank.
