Lately I've noticed that my honey gourami has been swimming up to the heater, rubbing up against it and then swimming away quickly like she was burned. She does this at least three or four times, usually after I just fed her, then goes back to swimming around like normal. She's developed this...

He died the morning after I posted this. :-( Thanks anyway.

I noticed on Sunday that my betta has lost most of his colour, and he's laying on the bottom of the tank. I know he's not dead because I see his gills moving (quite rapidly), and once in a while he struggles up to the top of the tank to gulp in some air. He hasn't done that in a while, though...

Okay, thanks everyone. I was really worried that he was going to die from the stress or something. I'll do one final water test and if everything is okay, I'll move him to his 5g today. Thanks again.

So it wouldn't stress him out even more to move him now? I'm afraid he's going to be so stressed that he'll die. Can that happen? :unsure:

I just recently moved about 4 days ago, but I couldn't take him with me until 2 days ago. 3 days ago, my mom called me and told me that he wasn't swimming around anymore, so I did a water change, and the day after I checked and he had his colour back and was swimming around. I decided to take...

Okay, they've stopped fighting now, so I guess they were just establishing the pecking order. :D Thanks everyone!

Marieukxx, I wrote another post asking about their compatibility here and everyone told me that as long as I got a big school of them, they would be fine together... :( Are you saying they were wrong? Soybean, I'm not sure, they're so fast it's hard to see, but I'm pretty sure there is some...

I got 3 neon tetras for my tank about a month ago. It's a ten gallon that I set up mainly for my betta fish, but I also wanted some other fish in there so I got some neon tetras. I haven't moved the betta in yet, and the tank is planted with lots of plants. Anyway, when I first got the neon...

Oh, that's great news! Thanks so much for the quick replies. :D

Um... not sure if anybody is even looking at this any more, but I thought I'd just let you know that he's in a 55g now.

I'm moving my betta to a 10g and I want to add some neons (probably 8). But when I did a google search, some sites say that they're okay together and others say that the betta will try to eat the neons, or that the neons will nip the betta's fins :S. I don't know what to believe, so I need some...

Okay, thanks guys! I'm positive that I've finally found what my fish are! :D While they're not actually rasbora paviana, I wouldn't have found out what they were if you hadn't mentioned them, since I was reading an article about the rasbora paviana and they started to describe species which...

Well, I went and tried to look up Rasbora vulcanus and there's not really alot of info on them, but what I did manage to find said that they are supposed to be red, but these guys are just sort of silver. I know the lighting kinda sucks in the pic, so here's another.

Hi, I recently got some fish which I can't accurately identify. The person at the store said that they were elegant rasbora (Rasbora elegans) but when I went online the pictures I found looked nothing like what my fish look like. So I'm attaching a picture and hopefully you guys can tell me...

Oh! I forgot to ask, should I get the pleco some drift wood? I feed it algae wafers. Is that enough or should I give it anything more?

Hi guys, thanks for replying and sorry I took so long to get back to you. I bought a completely new filter and did a 25% water change, and now my pleco is not swimming around in circles any more. I went to the fish store and got the water tested there, since they don't sell kits, and the other...

Hi, I'm new to this hobby. My mom recently bought me my first ever fish. I told her I wanted to own some fish and bought a tank, but I got a bit sidetracked with school and I didn't buy any fish, so I guess she got fed up with the tank just sitting there and she went out and bought me the fish...
