I have one female and two male honey gouramis. I know this because one has become a pair and are constantly "flirting". Recently i noticed that the female is pretty fat. The male is not courting her and theres no bubble nest. I cant tell if its eggs, overeating, or parasites. Shes also...

Help! I noticed tonight that my female betta has these white spots on her eyes... Everything I looked up said that it was because of bad water quality, but our water quality is fine... any other reason why she might be like this?? She's also more pale than usual, but looks otherwise healthy...

I know nobody has answered, but I'm bumping this up because I'm very confused. She was looking very boxy, and we could finally see the dark black spot. We put her in the breeder, and in the morning there was just lots of poop, she wasn't boxy anymore, and the black spot was gone. We put her...

He's still available.

She looks less "pregnant" now... perhaps she was just bloated?

I'll have to take a pic when I'm there next on monday! I'll post it then

I have a 5 gallon with not so great filtration, and the algae wafers are usually all fully eaten in a day or two, so it shouldn't gunk up your tank. And well, your endless might be eating a lot but you still gotta feed your other fish!

That's very strange. All of mine have taken to eating microworms. I know you've done your research and everything is probably correct, but I'm going to ask anyways. What size is the breeding tank? Did you test the water, if so, what is it at? (Nitrates, Nitrites, PH, Ammonia). Have you been...

That's what I'd figured, he's been separated and now lives with me until we can find him a good home. I wasn't sure since he didn't seem to be doing any other breeding behaviour.. I guess by adding the female, his hormones started acting up which would explain why he started acting the way he...

So, this isn't my first pregnant fish, my first fry, or anything. I've successfully bred guppies and bettas. In fact, this isn't really even my tank. My boyfriend has a 10 gallon community tank, where we've determined he's got one pregnant guppy, and now what LOOKS to be like a pregnant...

I've had otos with my bettas, and my bettas have always loved algae wafers. I usually put in 2-3 wafers on opposite ends of the tank (one on the far left, one on the far right, and one in the back). That way, the other fish will focus on one or two, and the otos will be able to have one all to...

I have a male elephant ear betta that was given to me as a rescue, but I don't really have room for him. I have his tank with all his supplies, but I've put him in one of my own tanks so his tank is currently empty. He can come with all of it or not, it's up to you. I just want him to go to a...

I've put sand in my own personal tanks before. It's possible that he put the water in too quickly, I can't remember, but shouldn't the filter have filtered it all out by now? If I had sand and there was some cloud in the water, I just ran the filter and it usually cleared it within a few hours...

It depends on the betta, honestly. I've had bettas who've lived peacefully with cory catfish, otos, snails, guppies, tetras, and sometimes even as big of fish as mollies. But that was a rare case and I've NEVER seen a betta live with that many fish before. This guy was special. And even then...

I'll take some filter media from my own tanks. I have about 4 of them hahaha. And all have always been healthy tanks. We'll try that, and hopefully it'll work. Thank you so much for the info!

So my boyfriend's tank is having an issue, and I don't know what it could be. He had a 5.5 gallon and recently moved to a 10 gallon, like not even a week ago. It hasn't stopped being cloudy, and we've tried almost everything we can think of. -He's got sand, so we turned off the bubblers to see...

Okay, thank you. We have coverage in the tank already, so maybe it will be okay. We've introduced other fish to the tank before and he didn't flare at them, so I just think it's odd he's decided to just go along and attack this female at random. But it is what it is, we will separate them if it...

So before you go all "bettas are supposed to live alone" on me, this fish is pretty special. He's been housed with corys, cream-coloured platy, panda tetras... And he's been 100% fine with them. Never flared, never chased them, would eat along side them like no problem. However, we recently...

Was gone all day at work and came back home at 10pm to find that he's made an even bigger bubble nest but still chases her away, yet she still seems interested in him. He's not hurting her, just chasing her away. I took her out (hopefully that was okay) and will maybe start floating her again in...

Alright, so I followed all the instructions. I've got a 10 gallon tank, about 6 inches with water. Bare bottom. Two live plants, and an area for the female to hide in. Heater at 26-28c and a filter (that is currently off). Male has built a bubble nest from the bubble wrap I put down to help him...

I havent seen him in a few days so i'm pretty sure somebody gobbled him up during the night. It's a shame, I was ready to help him. But I guess thats just what happens :)

If I can find him, I might do the net idea. I have a feeling he may have ended up a snack in the middle of the night but i'll keep checking through the day, since he's so tiny and sometimes it's just really hard to spot him. I mean, it's easy to mistake him for unfinished food!

I felt really bad for the fish in my mothers tank, she had two neon tetras, two black skirts, and one Cory catfish. So last night I went out and I bought four neon tetras and another Cory catfish for her tank. While I was floating the bags in the tank, I noticed in the neon tank that there was...

Alright, so this is what i've got now:   6 Otos 3 Amano Shrimp OR 5 Red Cherry Shrimp (to start off with) 1 Dwarf Gourami 10 Cardinal Tetras 1 Khuli Loach 6 Cory Catfish 6 Rasboras   As for the cichlids, I thought i'd do a bit more research and FINALLY found a forum that told me which fish were...

Thank you all for your answers.       Since i'll (most) likely be moving into the same complex I live now (just different unit), the floors are tiled and on ground level. I'll take into consideration of the fish being jumpy, would it help if I put lots of hiding/exploring places for them? Or is...

Hello, i've been here before and i'm not new to fish keeping. I've had a 10gal fish tank for 10 or so years, with no issues. I have had many betta fish (not that they all die, i've had a bunch at one time and eventually they passed on). At one point I had guppies, ottos, and platties (which...

Ah yes, a common remedy! I completely forgot about peas! I'll plop some in and see if he'll take them :)

one of my black skirts has a ... Well, he has a massive poop coming out of him. Can fish get constipated? He's not looking too good, I think it's effecting him.

Bump

Alright, so I'm most likely going to be moving to the uk for school, in about a year and a half. I've got a betta and a bristlenose Pleco that I'll be taking with me, and I have no idea how to move them, as I would give them away but if I did give them they would most likely be dead within a...

I stand corrected, and you did a much better job explaining than me. It's been quite a while since I've given any advice so I might be a little rusty c:

Alright, it sounds to me like he died of poor water conditions. Bettas are tropical fish, which means they need a heater at 24 to 27C to thrive. The ideal tank size for a betta splendin would be a 5gal. He could have also died of starvation, as they can fast for 1-2 days, but I've never heard...

Yes, I've been changing the water everyday. Unfortunately I don't have anything bigger (if I did, trust me, they would be in it), it's just one more night before I can set up the tank. If they were to have gravel, what kind would be the best? I think I heard something about them swallowing...

I would have given them back to him, but he had turned the corner or gone into another store or something, cause he wasn't there again when we looked up (kinda spooky!) They're in a bucket right now as that's all ive got, though I'm getting a 48gal for them on Sunday.

I'm certainly not new to fish keeping, but I've never kept goldfish before! Here's the story; I was walking home from going to see Guardian of the Galaxy (which if you haven't seen yet, you totally should because it's amazing and also Chris Pratt.) But anyways, our local pet store is a few...

Everything is fixed now, thank you all :)   I lost her as a friend for a week and a half but we recently became friends again and we are on the mend.

Sorry, I do understand.   I was a bit sceptical about posting this as you can tell, and I have asked in other places but I either get ignored on there or they give bad advice like 'idk, he's not worth your time'. (I want to fix the problem/figure out what is going on, not ditch him) and you guys...

Is this allowed? Is this already up somewhere? If not or if so, please just take it down. So, I always ask for advice. And you guys give really good advice. Sometimes, i'm pretty good at giving advice, too. (Depends on what though). And since I don't want to keep making topics, I thought I would...

Well, I wasn't able to tell her. I tried but I could never bring myself to let it out. I know I should tell her, but I don't know how. I know it would be easier to talk about it over text, but also I don't think that's the right way, I think I should do it in person. I just have a hard time...
