fish advice

Hi! This is my first fish tank, it’s a heavily planted 7 gallon, and for stocking I have some snails, 2 ghost shrimp, and 10 phoenix and strawberry Rasbora. I feed them everyday a little pinch of fish flakes, and about 1-2 times a week I give them brine shrimp. I have had this tank setup for...

So due to disability I’ve had to reluctantly give up my last remaining 500l aquarium of American Cichlids. A lifelong hobby over & I’m gutted 😞! I was always under the impression that larger tanks were easier to keep. A lot of people have been suggesting I should get a small, planted aquarium &...

Hi all, So I absolutely love fish keeping and I have had my 120 litre Jewel for a few years now. My tank is home to 15 diamond Tetra, (they won't stop breeding) 5 shrimp and my oldest and grumpiest fish of them all... my 18 year old bristlenose pleco! He's called Gutbucket ☺️ I do weekly water...

I am new to fishkeeping. I’ve had zebra fish and Kuli loaches for a little over a month and I recently got 2 German blue rams and 2 snails. My zebra fish have been noticeably stressed (hanging out in a group, staying near the top of the tank) however after about a week they have started to chill...

I’ve had this molly for around 8 months now and his mouth is incredibly swollen. I’ve tried different treatments including tonic salt and fungal medication with no luck, it only seems to be increasing in size. I don’t think it’s fungal as it doesn’t look fluffy, just very swollen. The tank he...

Hello everyone! As the title suggests I would like some help/suggestions with setting up my newish tank. It is a 10 gallon half moon tank, rather than a typical rectangle tank. I will post a link to the exact tank and tank equipment at the bottom of the post, as well as a picture of the newly...

Hey guys, I’ve recently gotten a 60 gallon fish tank, starting to do a cycle, and for this tank I’ve decided I want to try live plants. big step for me definitely as it is my first ever try. I want to go with the low maintenance ones so I was thinking Java fern, Anubias, anubias petite, moss...

My fish recently had a bit of a stress with a water change after I left my tank a little too long before cleaning. My water is perfect but I think it stressed them out a bit. One of my endler guppies appears to have tail rot from what I can determine and a couple of my glow light tetras have a...

Hi everyone, Need some help ASAP if at all possible! Sadly, my Mum passed away earlier this year. She left behind a decent sized tank with a few tetras and other tropical fish. I haven’t lived at home with her for a while but my brother still lived with her, however, he has no intention of...

Hey, this might be a silly question but today I've bought 2 different fish foods. Its the first time I've ever bought two different types. One of them is high protein (expensive and a little less in amount) and the other one which I've been feeding my fishes. I've read that feeding variety of...

HELP! Does my fish have TB? Hi I’m new to this, but have run out of options on what to do and need some advice, desperately! My fish has been ill for a while now. She is a platy who I have had over a year. She is lethargic, tries to eat then spits it out again, she has a curved spine and...

I had a molly and a platy in the same tank as a danio and a guppy. But today, I noticed both my molly and platy were dead. The guppy and danio are doing wonderfully, so I don't understand. All the fish got along great too. I've never had 2 fish die in the same day, and especially not at the same...

I got 7 rosy barbs in a 40 gallon all of them are of 2-3inchs in size with a 3 spot gourami. The issue is that 3 spot has grown too large so I am thinking of replacing it with a betta(male). My Rosy barbs have never nipped the fins of the gourami and 40gal seems right for this many fish. The...

I've had my Scuba Doo, my black moor, for about 8 months. Super happy and healthy little guy. I've noticed a white spot/growth on what looks like the anus area. I've looked it up and read other people's posts, and some say something about spawning? He's the only one in the tank though, so that's...

I recently bought my very first platy fish, and the person at the pet store said there's always a possibility of them being pregnant so I've been searching for someone to tell me whether she is or she is not. I've already looked at gravid spots and all that mess on the internet and I cant tell...

hi i was thinking about getting a peppered corydora and i have java moss on the bottom of the tank can peppered corydora lay on the java moss?

About an hour ago I went to go feed my fish. It was a little darker outside so I turned on the aquarium light. I noticed what looked like to be just white specks. I feel like they have been there for a while but upon closer inspection I saw the white specks on the aquarium glass and much to my...

Hello, I have bought, only yesterday, 3 more bronze corydoras in the pet store to add to my 64L tropical tank and I have noticed one of them scratching on the sand. Is it something I should worry about? My water was tested yesterday and all the parameters were good. The tank is currently heated...
