I recently changed my fertilizer a few weeks ago from Fluval Gro+ (which only contains micronutrients) to Easy Green. The reason for the change was because some of the leaves on my pants were whitening and I realize I was only providing micronutrients. However, my plants look much worse since...

My plants have been turning white for the past couple months and I'm not sure why. I have had this tank for 1 year. I just started dosing easy green a couple weeks ago. Before that, I was using Fluval Gro+ which only contains micronutrients. Any suggestions?

I have noticed that the leaves of my Pogostemon stellatus are gone. I believe my mystery snails are eating them. What do you think?

This so infuriating. Now I have 2/6 forktail rainbowfish left. 3 more died today after a small 2 gallon water change in my 10g quarantine tank. I've probably had 30+ fish so far this year with ~10 surviving. Not sure how you all deal with it but fish keeping is just too stressful for me and...

I got into the hobby almost 1 year ago thinking that keeping fish would be calming and therapeutic in my chaotic and stressful life. Well, little did I know that it would have the opposite effect. I've had so many fish die. My entire tank was wiped out by a bacterial infection introduced from...

I don't know if it's just me but a lot of people have reported positive experiences with shipped fish. I have had nothing but bad experiences. I have ordered shipped fish 3 times. The first time it wiped out my entire aquarium. The second time 50% of the shipped fish died. And the third time...

So I just received forktail rainbow fish shipped in the mail and half of them died within hours of trying to acclimate them. I am obviously very disappointed. I tried drip acclimating them using a fluval breeder box. I also added ammono lock during the process. Why did this happen? I am also...

I noticed my hygrophila corymbosa leaves started to become discolored. What could be casing this?

Thanks for the detailed response! Unfortunately all of the fish pictured had died. I also believe it wss bacterial because it spread to fish that had already been in the tank prior to introducing the shipped fish. I wouldn't have guessed worms. But I will get some aquarium salt for future use

Here are some pictures of the previous fish that have died. Let me know what you think

Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate =20 Gh = 8 Kh = 3 Ph = 7 To be clear all the rummy nose did have stringy poop but it was black/brown. Tank had been set up for about 7 months when I added the fish. Also the fish were shipped in frigid tempuratures. I have aquaclear 20 and sponge filter I water...

So it's been a long, slow, and painful end to all of the fish in my aquarium. I mistakely added shipped fish to my display tank in November 2023 and slowly but surely everything has died except for my snails and corys. Here is a pic of my 2nd to last rummy nose rasbora. It looks very skinny and...

I am at a loss because over the past 1.5 months, all my fish have slowly died. I was stupid and put shipped fish in the display tank without properly quarantining. I tried medicating with paracleanse, focus, and kanaplex. The treatment seems to delay the death. But after administering the...

I do have albino Corys! I just didnt realize they would lay eggs on the glass. I got them about 6 months ago so I guess they should be about sexually mature by now.

Hi all, I woke up this morning to find this on the glass of my 20 long tank. I'm not sure what they are. What do you think?

More issues in my tank. Some of my rummy nose rasboras appear bloated. Today I found my betta dead in the tank and I think it might be a bacterial infection I introduced from the fish I had shipped to me. I've also had several neon green rasboras die. Water parameters are normal. Does this look...

Here are photo of one of the rasboras that died and the betta 1 day before it died. You can see the red blood streak above its fin in the rasbora. Sometimes they will aslo swim upside down right before they die. I've bee. Doing ~30% water changes every other day.

I believe it is hemorrhagic septicemia because my neons would develop red streaks of blood near their fin and would start swimming awkwardly and deteriorate very quickly and die within 24 hours.
