I recently got API lead zone for my Java fern and red roof floaters but I’m worried about overdosing. Would 1.25 ml be too much?

For a while I have had a few struggles with my freshwater aquarium. In the past I had issues with general hardness as my water source had absolutely no mineral content and it led to a lot of fish loss, especially since my local pet store had an extremely high water hardness level. I eventually...

Hello! My parents have finally approved that I can start further improving my fish tank. :fish: This will be a thread of the progress. I will be posting more on the weekends but during weekdays, I may post updates occasionally. I will not be adding new fish/snails but I will be generally...

Hello, I had made a previous post about some injured gourami that had fungus and needed to be treated. Unfortunately I lost 2 of them and my last little guy made it through the salt treatment for about a week and a half. I had started removing the salt through 25% water changes and by now...

Hi, I have a 40 gallon freshwater tank with mollies, 3 dwarf gourami, mystery snails, cories, and a few kuhli loaches. I JUST transferred my gourami a few days ago after quarantining them as they're new. However I noticed that 2 of them have a bit of fungus (one on their tail fin and the other...

Hi, I have had this fungus looking like thing growing on my anubias since a month ago or two. Does anyone know what it may be and how to heal them? It's a red-cherry with snails tank, if that matters for the treatment.

I have a few mollies in my main tank & a couple weeks ago I noticed that my white/silver molly had some red right above/kinda in his mouth & sort of between his eyes. I honestly wasn't too sure if it was just the lighting (he kinda changes colors in the sun) or maybe he had fought with one of my...

Hello, I have a black male molly I had bought from PetSmart about 2 months ago who has been swimming sideways and upside down and then has to lay on the ground to rest from overworking himself. He shows the signs of swim bladder disease but I'm not sure how he got it and how to help him :(( the...

Hello, I have had 7 orange striped kuhli loaches for a little while now and decided to get 2 black ones from PetSmart to accompany them. After putting them in the tank I noticed that they seemed overly energetic, but its been going on all day to the point they seem erratic and I don't know how...

My male betta suddenly was afflicted with illness. I believe it is due to ammonia, I checked it and the levels were high. Despite previously checking it (I do weekly cheeks) and it being fine. I performed a 50% water change and added ammonia detoxifiers. Also, he is being treated with an all...

Hi I have lurked a little so thought i'd come up for air, labyrinth style! I have a 60 litre nano tank, a Dennerle I think. No fish yet. I'm deciding on fish while the tank cycles but am drawn towards a little sunshine gourami and a few tank mates. I'm still researching really. I have planted...

Hi all, One of my zebra danio fish has an infection like thing near gills. Its been like that for nearly 15 days. I do regular water change and cleanup regularly . Attached photos Other fishes in tank : Koi Angels, Neon Tetras, and Zebra Danios Is this an infection which can spread to other...

Hello, I am new to the aquatic world and just got my first fish last Saturday: 1 betta and 5 tiger barbs (I've read that the tiger barbs can be aggressive towards bettas, but they were housed together at the pet shop and I haven't had any issues with them). Because of limited transportation (I...

Ok, so a while ago I noticed a lump growing on my one male guppy's side. Today, he can barely swim and is turning from his usual yellow to a silvery blue. I know he's past the point of return, but am unsure of what to do. I have two other guppies in the tank that seem, for the most part, fairly...

Hi, Im looking for some good fish for my 55-gallon freshwater tank, filtered and cycled. It is a soft water tank. I have some tetras and harlequins, a pleco, and some platies and mollies (ik they are hard water i got them without knowing). Do you know any good, relatively cheap fish that would...
