So he went from his beautiful blue and red to a pale color what should I do? I know it is bad if they go change different colors.

My freshwater tank recently has been affected by some sort of white disease primarily effecting my poor swordtails, I can’t identify whether it’s ich or a fungus, please help me

Context : ever since I saved Angel from terrible conditions he has changed colors over time. i got him as a pale white betta and over time changed to a slight red color that are shown throughout his fins. — Recently I have noticed that Angel has developed a red spot in his body .. I don’t know...

Hello Everyone! I recently got a cool peace of driftwood. I am currently letting it sit on water for a week or two, but there seems to be a bit of a problem. It won’t sink! If anyone has tips on how to sink woods please let me know. (I am not a big fan of using glue on tanks , so I would...

Hello all, I recently set up a betta sorority tank and it looks like one of them (which is who I would say is the dominant one of the group) seems to have a few white spots on her side. It looks like I caught it early but wanted to get a second opinion. I delt with ich before in my larger 75...

Hello all, I just went to feed my fish in my 75 gallon tank (listed below) 1 red spotted severum 1 Electric blue Acara (EBA) 5 Pb parrot convicts 2 boesemani rainbowfish 1 synodontis catfish I normally first feed the small pellets that the rainbowfish and PBs eat as they cannot fit the larger...

I'm vaguely unsure on what to do at the moment. We have 3 fish tanks, 1 40gal, 1 3 gal, and a 75gal. All of them are planted tanks. The power has been out for about 45 minutes now, and according to the power company, will be out for another hour or so. What should I do??

Hello all, Sorry I have not been very active on the forum as I have been busy with school, but I have not stopped caring and loving my fish. I have posted something similar before, but it looks worse than I thought. So I have a 75 gallon aquarium with 1 synodontis catfish (featherfin) 1 red...

Good morning , I woke up to seeing little “worms“ or ” string-like” creatures on sushi’s tank, they are “walking” throughout the glass . I thought they were dust particles on my glass but then I looked closely and saw that they moved or floated on water. they are all over the tank . Is this...

I recently got a white platinum betta fish (unnamed) and I’ve recently noticed there’s something wrong with his eyes. I’ve noticed that he’s ”bumped” into the tank glass a lot and that he is unresponsive to my finger tapping on the glass. I’ve done some research and I think it could be cloud...

Hello all, I sat today next to my 29 gallon aquarium and noticed near the heater there is a strange intruder. I have never bought a snail, so I’m wondering how he got into my tank? My only guess is when I bought the plants for my aquarium he must have been in one of the pots. Can anyone...

My dad got this plant from Petsmart and it wasn't listed what type. Anyone know what type it is? Next week I may put in a half root tab next to it. It does have some black algae on it, if anyone know how to remove that I would be thankful. Or if anyone knows what type it is, I think it is Black...

This black algae has been in my dad's 55 gallon for a long time. Algae doesn't bother him, but for me it does. I was wondering if it is bad for anything. Anyone know what type it is? (I think it may be black beard algae)? What would be the best way to remove it, maybe hydrogen peroxide bath? I...

My dad has a 36 gallon and 55 galllon tank. In the 36 there is one lonely plant and I have no clue what it is. It is also pretty torn up from cichlids biting it. I am going to ask him to transfer it to the 55 community for a better life. Anyone know what type it is?

I’ve been trying to figure it out but I can’t find anything about the 2 and if there safe to mix with each other.

Hello, I haven't been on this forum for quite a bit, mostly due to me being fine with how stuff is. Recently though, one of my dads tank has had a few pregnant fish. Now, we have had pregnant fish in this tank before and we extracted them (babies) and put them in a breeding box and then a even...

Please help!! I have no idea what is happening I will test the water ang get back to this later. I have kept corrys for at least a year in my 20 gallon this has never happened EVER before. They are in my quantine that I recently did a water change on. I did use water conditioner. The temp is...

I just got albino Corry cat fish from petco. They got a brand new shipment, and within about 4 hours at home 2 of 6 passed away. They seemed healthy and active like the others. They each had two black spots above the eye brow. I would love to know what it could mean. Should I treat the other fish?

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...

I bought a bristlenose Pleco three days ago. I put it in and it seemed fine, just a bit shy. On the first day it wasn’t eating, but it would move around the tank and suction into different walls. That night I measure the pH and it was a bit high, 7.4. I put pH down in it and measure the next day...

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...

Hello, I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 black mollies and 4 swordtails along with 1 corydora and a chinese algae eater. Here are the water parameters I tested today: ( Wednesday night I added two Jungle Fungus clear tablets to see if that would help the molly, I don't know if this would change the...

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...

Hi guys, I’ve got two platy fish and ones recently developed a bump on its belly. I thought maybe it’a pregnant but as a new fish owner, I wasn’t too sure. I called the Pets at Home store I bought them from for help and they informed me that they indeed may be pregnant and I should check...

So I have been at college and come back home every weekend to clean the tank. I let my mom feed the fish and when I went to clean the tank yesterday, I noticed a food pellet on the glass surrounded by bugs. I realized I have probably close to about 100-200 of these in my tank now and have been...

Hi, my butterfly telescope has a white tumor on her back fin. It started off small, and some advised to leave it alone unless it was harming her. So I left it alone for about 4 months, but now I am coming to the sad conclusion that it will not stop growing. I am not sure if it is possible or...

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...

Hey, so I have a growout tank where I kinda just throw most of my livebearer fry and small angels that I get from the store (i'll describe the tank more below). It's always been super healthy, and normally I've got a betta in there too, just because he gets along with the other fish and I raise...

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! Purchased my betta the 11th of February and he took a while to acclimate to the new environment and begin eating but he has been fine until recently. He lives in my dorm with me and continues to eat and be active. See attached images to see what I mean about him looking less fine. He appears...

So I noticed I didn’t see my PB parrot convict out, and when I finally found him, he was trying to swim at the bottom of the tank, but was upside down. I took him out and put him into a quarantine tank I had running and I put him in a breeders net to minimize moving. I tried to give him peas...

Hey everyone! I recently got 2 German blue ram’s and for the first couple days they hid away in the corners of the tank so I got an extra couple live plants and another ornament for more hiding space. One seemed to be very aggressive towards the other for a day or so and now they both seem to...

So I have been out for a few days from home and gave the responsibility to my older brother to keep with the tank, and I don’t think it turned out well. I noticed one of my severums has what looks like a cyst. Not sure if it was an open sore that got infected.. I am about to do a large water...

This is going to one of my more fun posts! I need help with finding names for my soon to be 5 guppys and 1 snail! I'm thinking of group names from TV shows, movies, books, etc. I will post a poll with some of my ideas and please vote for your favorite option! (There will be an option labeled...

So I have a 29 gallon sand substrate tank: Stocking was: 8 cories (a variety) 9 tiger barbs (3 green, 3 albino, 3 regular) I returned one of the green ones since he was terrorizing the other barbs as he was bigger. One of the albinos died and this morning I found one of the regular ones was...

I am a little worried about these two. I feel like the EBA has hole in head cause he started hiding in the top corner of the tank. He also sometimes flashes. The regular blue acara has been hiding lately and didn’t come out to eat. Should I treat the tank for parasites like gill fluke? Or maybe...

Hi, This morning I noticed something was wrong with my Betta fish. I've had him for about 4 months but I recently moved him out of my 110 litre tank to a 22 litre tank (about a month ago) as he was too aggressive to my other fish. Since then he has settled in well and the water levels have been...
