I went to clean my betta’s tank. He is a twintail halfmoon betta. I moved his tank into my kitchen and he jumped out onto the counter without my knowledge. I accidentally placed the tank full of water on top of half his body. I found him within 5 minutes and quickly threw him back into the tank...

Hello everyone. Last night, one of my biggest nightmares began and my 350L Juwel Rio tank started leaking!. I noticed that it started dripping water out of the corners somewhere at the very bottom of the tank, although I couldn't see the point of origin anywhere. I started to get worse, so I...

I just noticed one of my guppies has a couple tears in his tail, is this the start of finrot or will it heal?

Hello all, I’m a new fish keeper and I believe I have an ich problem with my fish in my tank everything has ran smoothly to this point, but today I noticed some spots on my Severum and Oscar, and rainbow fish. I’ve read just about everywhere and watched every video there is to try and treat this...

Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 5 gallon tank stocked with 2 male guppies and 1 albino corycatfish. I wanted to start small and I really didn't have room for anything bigger (or the money to do it). I did my research and I believe things have gone swimmingly in my new tank. However, just last...

Blue one she is heavily breathing

This baby squirrel was doing fine just before this night. The sound felt like sneezing, and suddenly I felt some liquid spraying from it. Then I noticed that it had some red liquid which I think might be blood, but not sure. It didn't cry or make any other noise. With a clean cloth I tried to...

I’ve had my betta for about 2 months, and he was very healthy for the first 1.5 months, but about a week ago, he became very lethargic and staying up in the very top corner of his tank, not eating and with clamped fins. The water parameters were 0 chlorine, 0 nitrite, traces of ammonia, and...

My sister has a freshwater tank and was wanting to treat her betta who has finrot so I recommended aquarium salt in a water change. Unfortunately in the water change she forgot to include the stress coat water conditioner. This means she put in a water change of unconditioned water treated with...

Hi can someone tell me what this is... at first I thought it was parasitic worms but I noticed in the thing hanging for the female danio are loads of yellow specs? Thanks

Hi, I have a 60 liter tank quite a few live plants a eheim classic 250 and a seachem tidal 35. My nitrates have slightly spiked to about 40ppm and have done lots of water changes but I think my tap water has naturally high nitrates can't get rodi machines or water. So was thinking about Nitra...

I'll attach photos + video for you to see and determine what is wrong with him hopefully. It's swimming ok I guess but it looks damn unhappy. Water conditions are perfect, zero ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. This happened during/after a water change about 36 hours ago, although apparently there...

I purchased 2 brittlenoses on Saturday from Pets at Home. One is very active the other (pictured) is very shy and hides away. Today I noticed golden barbs pecking at him while he was motionless on the gravel. I took him out of the tank and have now put him a newer tank with just minnows and...

This is my first time posting here because I am genuinely stumped. One of my longfin serpae tetras got herself stuck between a decoration and the side of the tank. After I freed her, I noticed she had rubbed off the entire right side of her scales. Later I noticed she wasn't moving much, and I...

The tail looks broken... will he survive? He is currently lieing down at the bottom of the tank on his side breathing slowly. He also has a black spot above on of his eyes. Please let me know about what I should do.

Please help! I’m literally freaking out right now. My betta fish is constipated. He has a long black fece hanging from his body. I tried to leave him alone overnight to see it’ll help but this morning he’s laying on his side and not moving! I’m putting him in an epsom salt bath right now but idk...

Azora is a Halfmoon female betta fish of about a year old. She is energetic, happy, colorful, eats frequently and with no issue. About a month ago I noticed a small white dot (bump) growing above her right eye. I research and began treating her for a fungal issue using pimafix. After a week of...

Hi everyone! I'm posting this again as the previous one seemed to disappear. Quick backstory: I'm quite new to fishkeeping, but I've made an effort to do everything correctly and I've done a lot of research on the right procedures. I have a ~30gal tank, and after it was fully cycled I added 6...

So this guppy has had white poop (it doesn’t move at all) and now today has stopped eating. One of my others has a similar issue but still eats. The white spots are new and just started today and affect none of my other fish but I did notice white particles coming out of my new filter so I’m...

I think I really messed up. My black orchid male betta has not eaten for the five days I've had him, and in the last two or three he has not been swimming a whole lot. I figured maybe he was lethargic and excessively weak from his lack of food, so I decided to move him to his cup and put food in...

I just checked my tank and have noticed one of my Glowlight Tetra’s swimming rather strangely. Is this Swim a ladder or something else? It’s only the one fish, none of the others seem to be affected. It seems to keep turning to the side or turning upside down, is there anything I can do to help...

EMERGENCY!!!!: I purchased a betta 4-5 days ago and he was put in a heated and filtered 2.5 gallon tank. I noticed he had fin rot shortly after purchasing him but he was eating just fine. This morning I woke up to him with white fuzz covering him (I’m guessing fungi) and most of the color gone...

Pictured below is my male betta in the store (20 December 19) followed by his first days in his new home. He instantly became much more vibrant which I was very happy about. However he then developed a dark spot by his lip - starting off as a small grey dot. He was also glass surfing for...

Hello, so I have had 3 corydoras in my tank for around 5 months now and they have been completely fine so far however 2 days ago I noticed a small white lump on his back fin and decided to monitor it. It has not gone away so am wondering if anyone knows what it is and how I can treat it. I have...

So I bought 2 dwarf gouramis about 5 months back and after around a week one died. I put this down to stress as I didn't see any symptoms, he just died but now, the remaining one has recently had a long string of white poop coming out of him constantly so I fed mashed peas for a few days. We now...

Help! My red flame dwarf gourami looks bloated and keeps getting bigger. Also he is gasping and not breathing normal. Can’t tell if it might have the dwarf gourami disease or possibly pregnant. We also have a powder blue dwarf gourami who is just fine and possible making a bubble nest. We got...

Hello. i am quite concerned with my couple years old bamboo shrimp. Always been healthy and all. Over the past few days i have noticed that it has a brown underbelly (never happened before). It is constantly touching it and waving its little feet about. Does not look like eggs. It looks like...

I was looking for my betta when I found his head stuck in the little hole at the end of the flower pot I gave him. We got him out by breaking the pot while making sure that he wouldn't get cut by the shards. He's just laying at the bottom of the tank, breathing. Some scales on his back got...

My highfin banded shark Keeps laying sideways. He has been fine since I got him 2 days ago and even earlier this morning but now he looks like he’s not doing so well. I got two and the first one started laying upside down as soon as I got him but I was saving these fish so I still took him. He...

Hello, I have an orange Platy who has developed what seems like overnight a large tumor. I noticed when I was adding two new guppies to the tank. I took a picture to the local fish store the first day I noticed and they didn’t know what it was so they gave me a cure all. I put him in a...
