Maybe it is a bacterial bloom? Like there was a big bioload, and the bacteria that helps with Ammonia has spiked in your tank to deal with it. And therefore the water is cloudy. My best solution for ANYONE with cloudy water is to let it be. Skip feeding for like 2 days, and don’t water change...

I actually do not agree with @connorlindeman because I asked it stuff like “do you think it would be fun to take over the world?” Just to see if all those movies are true. It told me, “As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or emotions. However, taking over the world would...

Funny you mentioned ChatGPT, the past week I have been messing with a similar thing called ChatAI on my phone. I asked it random prompts like “write me a story about…” or “what is the best meal” I did happen to ask it how to breed guppies, and it told me everything correct until I got to the...

The other fish may have mistaken the black guppy fir the blackworms. They are the same colour

Normally the male guppies fight over jealousy and looks (my nicest males are targeted because they look so nice the females chase after them), or because they mistake the other guppy tails as food (I think)

Each and every fish on the list has wrong facts

Yes. Sometimes the guppies will nip each others fins (I cannot tell but mine seem jealous of the other males). Couldn’t have been the gourami in my experience they are very slow. The tail rips will grow back

Otos are the best! They eat almost ever algae and they are very peaceful. Bettas sre my absolute fav along with guppies, both do well with shrimp so pick your choice!

Bettas can normally do ok with shrimp, since they live on different parts of the tank. Just don’t keep them in tanks less than 5gl. Also the betta seems to be a bicolor scarlet and metallic blue veil tale (with a little plakat) Veil tails are more aggressive than your average betta so maybe...

Hey guys. I have been selectively breeding wild type neocaradina for 3 years now, and I absolutely outdid myself with acheiving store-grade pumpkin shrimp! Anyway, that is besides the point. I was wondering if anyone would know if I could mix them with orange rilis. If so, what would the...

It is the worst feeling when you have to delicately take the betta fry out of the water change bucket with a turkey baster 😫 Just goes to show that algae can go a long way! I started breeding otos because of algae 🙂

Ok. I see that they are big enough to be fed flake food. They will also pick at algae

You will have babies soon enough

Those are saddles

Cool! I love rilis 😇

Use them once to feed and freeze the leftovers in ice cube cartons

Congrats! If you wanna keep em, you need a place for them to hide. Maybe floating plants or java moss

This is what you call, the “goldfish bowl” fishkeeper that needs to learn more. I see things like this all the time. It disgusts me. It is ok to state your opinion, but I cannot believe that there are people that decide it is necessary to yell up in your face behind a screen and decline stuff...

I used to sell what I called “bubblegum half suns” to my LFS. Black Orchid x Samurai sounds cool. Thats a good idea (you may have given me hope) That brings back memories of having peaceful Plakats (I KNOW!!!!) it was a one of a kind male, he never ever touched another fish, I could keep his...

Oh I have recently been taking down and selling off breeding pairs before the pandemic so I lost a lot of my strains that I was ready to move on from. I breed fish for fun, not for profit so the money I made was a bonus. I used to have 26 breeding pairs healthy and going crazy. You are right...

Can I see a picture?

Also @emeraldking I love your article on platies and swordtails

Thank you. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

Cool guys! Its nice to see how many different ways people breed guppies!

I have caught them eating poop in my friend’s tank

He may have fin rot. If not, then just keep on your water changes. It never hurts to be cautious.

My initial reaction was 😦😣, but then I read the rest. I thought your whole tank was about to be like:

Mabye some sort of thing like infusoria or some other sort of little critter? I’ve never seen anything like it.

My turn: plecos look and are disgusting and they ruin your water. All they do is poop, and eat poop, and then poop back out the poop. Worst fish in the hobby (otos are way better)

Try putting him in a quarantine tank and dose him with salt (aquarium salt is my go)

It could also be some dead black beard algae that landed on something. Mine was an annoying thing that originated from a trimming from someone else’s plant

If you take it off with a toothbrush, it will just go on somewhere else, also I had the same thing in one of my tanks a while back, and it just kept coming back so I turkey bastered it, and then got some siamese algae eaters and it was gone 😁

Use a turkey baster and try to suck the stuff off the surfaces. A water change will help, and try fasting the fish/creatures in the tank for a couple days

Could be the oscar’s immune system reacting to whatever it has. Maybe it is curing and that is a bruise from where this guy got the disease from originally. You never know unless you do your research. Good luck 🤞

Welcome to the best place for questions and answers (that I have found so far, and I will probably never find a better source)

Will she survive? How long do you think she will last?

None of the other fish are showing issues, and I meant that I have gotten many ich blooms in tgw past with my guppies and tetras

The only real problem I have is that she just fot pregnant and the survival of the fry are questionable 😞

Ok thanks for the advice, I will set up a 1 gallon tub… I know what to do further (have dealt with ich blooms ten thousand times)
