I mean it looks like there's some kinda fungus on the top of his head or something.

I feed a flake food for my tetras and a sinking pellet for my cories. The problem is cories are slow eaters, so the tetras finish the flakes, then go and nab sinking pellets from the cories too. I think the tetras are already getting a bit overfed due to this, so I don't want to feed more, but...

Cam I treat with MetroPlex and PraziPro at once?

The first one died I'm not sure how much it was eating. One of the other guppies(Which was eating fine yesterday) also died. Does Metronidazole treat tapeworm too?

Ok so what med should I buy?

I recently bought 3 guppies, one of them looked a bit skinnier and paler but I didn't think much of it at the time, treated the tank with levamisole anyway because camallanus sucks and often doesn't show symptoms until too late, and is immune to many other meds. Anyway after the first dosing...

Wait, so will they not hang out together in 2-3 and just do ok, but for them to really hang out and shoal you'd need a bigger group? Or are you saying either works about the same?

Oh also I know they like company how many do you need? I'd probably get all males so they can't breed and I don't want to overstock the tank so I can't get too many. Also I've heard about some mild aggressive and they will form a pecking order, how aggressive are they to each other once a...

So I'm considering getting platies, and I know there's actually 2 very similar species of fish under the common name "platy". I was thinking I might want to mix and match platy colors, and was wondering if it matters if I get all the same species, or if the 2 species are so closely related that...

Otos aren't that hard to keep. I had an easy time until the whole tank crashed, unfortunately resulting in their untimely demise.

The tank size it a hypothetical tank that does not exist at the moment, and why on earth would anyone take water to a pet store to test it when you can just buy a test kit? I'm guessing my city is on 2 different water sources as pH and hardness gradually go up and down throughout the year, both...

Yeah not super worried about the killifish being aggressive, more about it just eating the rasboras because they're tiny and could make a tasty snack. Also could the gourami have conflict with the killi because they're both top dwelling fish?

Tank size I'm not quite sure, and yeah I probably don't need gouramis *and* killis. Also not concerned about the otos and cories competing for food as the otos mainly feed on algae and other plant-y stuff, while cories will primarily scavenge for more meaty stuff.

I've been thinking it'd be fun to get a community tank, but only keep really really tiny species in it. Some species on the list are endlers, chili rasboras, pygmy cories, and otos(I really like these species because they're like tiny versions of other fish). I'm wondering if I could also keep...

Well then it's female you just can't see it in this photo.

Yeah but that was awhile ago why does it need to be a problem now?

I... didn't... link... to... another... forum...

Or bladder snails I like them too. Also Malaysian Trumpet Snails are cool but I haven't researched their care yet so have no idea if they'd actually fit.

Yes I know what different kind of snails are. Usually I just go to the store, See what looks cool, and google it to make sure it's compatible with my tank if I don't already know what it is, but some species I'm considering for it are nerite snails, mystery snails, and ramshorn snails.

Egg spot doesn't really show in the pic but ok. Also betta sororities are complicated and can go badly if done wrong, so look into it before you go adding more fish.

Just looking at the ventral fins, looks male to me. Males have wider ventral fins. Also is it just the light/photo angle, or are his scales pineconing?

I was thinking I might get a couple different kinds of snail, one of each.

I... don't think I posted anything linking to fish stores unless I did and just forgot.

I think it really depends on how well they're set up. The smaller the tank, the more likely they are to crash. I would absolutely not out them in smaller tanks like 20 gallons that some people say you can, just because maybe you *can,* but the chances of success are lower. If I was going to do a...

Black neons are super underrated and despite being called a "black" fish they're actually pretty colorful. Pictures online just don't do them justice. In real life they've not nice blue tips on their fins, a bright red spot above their eye, and the shiny stripe down their body can look blue...

How many guppies can I keep in a 10 gallon? No other fish, just guppies(All males or all females so they don't breed), as well as a couple snails. I don't want to do water changes more than weekly since I usually just do tank maintenance over the weekend.

Not for a tank that I currently have, just maybe a hypothetical future tank, cab a female dwarf gourami live with guppies? I know they're less aggressive than the males I just don't know how much less aggressive. Also, the gourami would want a more meaty food and the guppies would want a more...

i was trying to reply to this one too.

Why did it not insert the first quote? Can I not reply to two people in the same message?

Hey you're here too? I was Mii on another forum but got randomly banned for "violating rules"(They wouldn't tell me what rules I had violated and I went and double checked the rules again and I didn't see anything). I was gonna check the PM which I assumed had more details on the ban but...

Hi I exist. I've kept fish before but made a lot of stupid mistakes and eventually things went downhill and my fish gradually died off. Recently I've been getting back into aquariums, fixing up my old tanks, and getting some fish. I currently have a 20g with black neons although I'm planning to...
