growth

Just got my second bichir. He’s quite a bit fatter than my first , I’m just wondering if anyone could help me maybe determine how old mine are and tips with feeding and BOOSTING growth rate. Cause I’m seeing videos of people senegals that are HUGE compared to mine I’m doing 2 40% WC a week...

Hey everyone, I’m not sure what this is/what to do about it. My betta has a growth that started about 2 weeks ago and has been growing, it’s white and beside his head and above his forward fins. I’ve been treating with salt but it hasn’t been doing much. Any help would be great.

I wanted live plants for my new tank, but I don't have a fish tank light yet. Would adding the plants before having light hurt them? They can survive in the store without fish tank lighting. I've had to have my other planted tank light off for going on vacation as I didn't want an algae bloom...

Hi All, I’m new to this forum so hello! I recently acquired two German Blue Ram and I noticed when I got one home it had a slightly squint face. I thought this may be a birth defect of some sort but over the past week I’ve noticed it’s face has increasingly become more squint and there seems to...

Good morning. I woke up and noticed my Molly has a situation and I’ve never seen it before. Hoping anyone can help. Pic below...

Hello everyone, this grew pretty quick in about two weeks and seems to continue. For a moment noticed a red strand coming out. My jade is about 5 years old and can't seem to figure out exactly what this is. Thank you.

Sorry this is so poorly written but we're doing a water change later today and would like at least a couple comments: The first example is 'TANK A" the second example is 'TANK B" both taken today about 4 hours after feeding - the debris you see on the ground in both tanks is mostly empty snail...

Hi, this is my first time posting so hopefully I get it right. I don't have any testing strips at the moment, but I got my water tested at pets at home recently and they said it was all fine. About 4 weeks ago I noticed one of my neon tetra's had a large white growth on its mouth, and that its...

I just got this fish not to long ago, maybe 3-4 weeks. He’s been doing great with my other fish but today I noticed he has some kind of a growth on his side? I don’t know if this is an emergency or not and I don’t know what to do. What is this?

Hi guys, One of my female sparkling gourami has developed what appears to be a dent on her head, and discoloration to part of one of her gills (there is also some white growth protruding from this area). She still eats, but is swimming rather lethargic. Tank is cycled. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0...

Would I be able to grow plants such as dwarf hair grass and normal hair grass in a par of just over 60 (taken from bottom of tank)

my betta, bulma, has seemingly overnight grown an oval lump on his side.hes for the most part active and eating well. it’s on his abdomen towards the back and is only accentuated on his right side. i’m really worried about him so if anybody could help me figure out what is wrong and how to treat...

I’m pretty new to the game and just joined the forum. I have six Serpae Tetras in a 30 gallon tank. I had to leave the country for 3 weeks and had my wife feed the fish and plants. When I got back I noticed a bubble looking growth on one of my tetras. I tried to look up what it may be but...

I have had this male since it was born and it has always looked slightly pointed in the belly, until recently the belly has really pointed and swollen. Someone has said it looks like a tumour, or maybe dropsy. I have been told to euthanise it by another site. Can someone help me identify whats...

Hello, I have a single platy fry in my 10 gallon tank with one mystery snail and a bladder snail. She's been in this tank a little over a week and was born on February 27. We moved her to my tank from our 36 gallon tank because we feared she might get eaten. Since the move, she doesn't seem to...

Hey guys so today I bought a Half moon Mascot betta and we all noticed he had a growth on his tail, he seems fine otherwise but I just wanted to know if anyone knows what it is or if I can somehow remove it? if not that's fine just don't want it to get bigger and it start to affect him. pictures...

I've had my Halfmoon Betta, Angel, for about 2 months. I noticed this weird growth(?) on him this morning and I've been super worried about it. Can anybody help me identify it? I keep his water between 78 - 85 degrees. I change it and condition it every week. He's fed twice a day (Aqueon Betta...

Hi there fish forums,   I've been gaining some insights here for quite some time, and everything has been going swimmingly so far (save for that single sick sucker) in our 10 Gallon tank with bamboo, gravel and a small painted feature. Three Tetras and a Cory have been getting along with the...

Here are pictures: He's also lost colour, any idea what this could be? In the past he had growths near his mouth but I think they were harmless as they went away on their own.

I have had guppy fry for two months now and they are 1 quarter of the size of a fully grown guppy is there any way of speeding up growth.  Ohh and when can i add the to my comunity tank.

Hi I know I've started a similar thread under the name ebjd journey but it seems this is a more appropriate place to put it. I purchased this fish in late March 2014, I saw one of the local importers put an ad up on facebook,I've always dreamed of owning one but could never find them in my...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here, and I hope to get a lot of support from you my fellow fishkeepers, and hope to be able to help you out as well   I just purchased a baby EBJD about a week ago. He's only 1" in length. Now I know that its recommended to get this particular fish a bit...

I have a lovely betta in a community tank, hes been through the mill somewhat over the time ive had him, seems prone to finrot etc. the current problem is that he now has a lump on the side of his face, which wasnt there yesterday. im hoping...

Hi,   I need to get some floating plants for my betta's and gourami's and I was wondering if water lettuce would grow if I kept the lid on the top of my aquarium? o Or will it cause the water lettuce to rot?   Can you share your experiences? Thanks

Came home today and noticed white speckled clusters formed on my glass, rocks and fake plants. Not sure what it is, but its throughout most of the tank. Looks almost like the plants were dusted with light snow. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Id like to clear it up as fast as possible.

My platy has this thing coming out of her. It's like a white lump with some pinkish color. From what i have read, it looks like intestine, anything i can do? Will it affect my other fish?
