Hi, I know it’s a blurry picture but can anyone identify what is happening in my goldfish tank? I am at a total loss. It’s a 70 gallon. Here is the back story. I have had this specific goldfish tank for over 2 years, have been keeping fish my whole life, and have many other tanks in my house...

Hello, firstly, sorry if this is the wrong category, please do correct me if I am wrong. Yesterday I noticed a white patch on one side of my female zebra danio, she doesn't seem affected by it or anything and is behaving normally. Just curious of what it could be and if it needs treating or...

i thought my female guppy was pregnant and laying on the bottom of the tank because she was about to give birth. 4 days later she’s still laying on the bottom and has her scales sticking up. i still can’t tell if she’s pregnant or if it’s dropsy, she has had babies before.

Hey all! New Betta owner here; I got my male Betta (his name is Pax) from the pet store yesterday. Have had him as well as the tank for about 24 hours now. There are two white dots on him but it doesn’t look like ich to me, though it very well could be. One white dot on each eye, almost...

Uploaded a video of him, he was fine yesterday, but now he's like this.

Hi Everyone, I have a 30cm cube tank with 2 muscles, 20 cherry shrimp 5 dwarf rasboras, 5 neon tetras, 1 female betta and 4 guppys 2 male and 2 female. Recently one of my male guppies has developed a white colouring on his bottom lip but no other signs of anything on his body. He has stopped...

Hi I set this tank up in September 2021 and have been dealing with cloudy water since late November. The filter sponges constantly clog with brown gunk and you can't see the back of the tank let alone the big piece of driftwood that's suppose to be in the middle. A layer of brown gunk coats...

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some help. So, I got a freshwater tank in Setember last year. I follow all the tips i could find so it would go smootly. I have 7 corys in the tank and 3 plecos (i know you not supposed to keep plecos together, i didnt know about that until recently but they...

Any idea what this is?? About 3 weeks ago 2 of my Otto fish died and a kinda white film on them but figured they were dead a few days before I noticed them (tank was heavily planted and they like to hide) did many water changes over the past few weeks. I JUST put the droft wood in maybe two days...

Please can someone help, my molly has all of a sudden been swimming funny today and I have noticed split fins. I’m unsure if this is injury from fighting or fin rot, I did my research and made sure all tank mates are compatible to the best of my knowledge. I have 3 balloon mollies, 5 neon tetra...

If someone could help me it would be great. I have a 200L tank that is planted with java fern and dwarf saggartia (probably spelt wrong) i am using seachum flourish excel and the bottle says after a large water change I need to add 20ml then every day its 5ml for the 200L. Am I over dosing it...

Hello everyone, I have a wonderful giant gourami and recently he has started coughing out bubbles violently. It happens occasionally. He is also sleeping more and taking naps often. Occasionally he twitches and it looks like he has involuntary spasms. His appetite is good as usual. We generally...

We got 3 corydoras at the same time and they were all the same size but one of them is now much bigger than the other two? Does anyone know why and should we be worried? (We have 6corydoras now) Thanks x

Hi! I’m new to the forum. I’ve been using an other forum for 5 years but we can’t seem to figure out this problem with my goldfish. Thanks in advance for any help and advice. I’ve had this common goldfish for 6 years. Currently in a 20g cycled aquarium alone with a filter and aerator. Ammonia...

So I have this male guppy, Menma, and im about 92% sure he’s gay. He flares his fins and goes the little seizure mate dance thing to his fellow guppy men in the male tank. There was one male guppy, Nards, in particular that Menma followed around like a love struck puppy; no aggression no nips or...

My tank is being over run by pest snails. I currently have my betta in a 10 gallon and when I noticed snails started appearing I purchased an assain snail, they producing faster than it was eating so I purchased another and planned on moving the second one to a different tank once the pests were...

Had my angelfish for about a week and today one was pooping white stuff. Only posting because it doesn't look stringy to me, but maybe I'm wrong. Only other thing I've noticed is that is one of my other angelfish getting air from the surface. I did find another one of these poos floating around...

Got these zebra danios 2 days ago, he was fine this morning and after feeding them flake food, he's stuck floating at the top of the water. he's still quite active as you can see, but he's not going down and seems to be slightly floating on his side at the top.

Anyone know what is on this poor rainbowfish and it its contagious?

I have a 36 gallon bow front aquarium. I have a RTBS. He’s about 3 years old. He recently started swimming strange and has white strands coming off him. See pictures. Other fish are 9 Zebra Danio and 1 bristlenose Pleco. I did have about 20 baby plecos but recently had a power issue and the tank...

Hi there. I’ve contacted so many vets about this, and everyone says to euthanize him. I really want him to have a chance at living his best life, so please hear out this story. My male betta fish, Trooper, has had some sort of bubble in his abdomen and has been stuck at the surface of the tank...

Hi, I have this really shy parrot fish and i’ve had her for almost a month now, she’s still really shy. She’s in my 55 with a few juvenile rainbows, they all get along fine. I was looking at her today and noticed she had a really small white marking on her fin (see picture below) but I’m really...

Hi all, Found my betta dead this morning and I have absolutely no idea what happened😔 Since I got him he earlier this year he has been great, behaving normally, eating, and no sign of disease. Water parameters are fine; pH 7.6, Ammonia and nitrite both 0, and Nitrate below 20ppm. Water temp...

Hello. I wasn't sure where to post this, hope this is okay. I need advice about filtering tap water. But first, I want to mention that yes, I know about RO water, but that is not an option for me at the moment. I really hope someone who has either dealt with this before or knows about it can...

Can anyone help identify the sex of these 3 gourami for me please. From what I've read it's to do with top fin shape but someone else said colour and now I am unsure?

So I just got back from a few day trip and I noticed dozens of baby snails along my glass. I had several nirate snails, and I noticed one of them laying eggs (not sure which) but I thought the eggs couldn’t actually hatch unless the water was brackish?? This is a purely freshwater tank. The only...

She got white rings around both her eyes a few weeks ago so I used melafix for a week. It didn’t seem to change much. They seem to be more prominent now but I honestly can’t tell if it’s her coloring or not. She also has a weight issue, I don’t think it’s a disease since she’s very active and...

Hey guys! I have recently encountered a problem in my planted breeder tank. My mollie mama looks pregnant constantly even after giving birth and her fry ate coming out with swollen bellies. I caught a video of some sort of white worm in the tank as well. I know they have worms but I can't figure...

The point of this post is to see what you guys think happened. Keep in mind… I’m pretty new to fish owning. About 4 months ago, I got very into it and decided to get some of my own. I did lots of research on their necessities to taking care of them, gallons in a tank needed, how to know...

Hi, I recently bought three angels for my 55 gallon two weeks ago, but three days ago they all started swimming at the top and I noticed the black one started developing some sort of white mucus (see picture below). They are all eating fine and go crazy for the bloodworms and pellets i give...

So in the past 2-3 days, my new clownfish showed symptoms of what I assume is brooklynella. I had fish with brook in the past so I started treatment right away. Where I live, formaldeheyde is illegal to sell, so I'm doing a 5 minute FW bath followed by a 60 minute metronidazol bath, and dosing...

Hey guys, I keep african dwarf frogs for years now and this has never happened. I've been dealing with a bladder snail infestation which I've sorted out pretty well... the numbers have decreased a lot. However, I noticed my ADF was struggling with a small snailI went to go wash my hands (as I...

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...

Hai So, one of my grandparents female fancy guppies look not well. She's really skinny and really long. And a chunk of her gill is missing. She's acting fine, but doesn't look like it. The photos are blurry, sorry. Should I move her to a hospital tank? I'd the water parimaters, but the tank is...

Hey everyone! We just got our first aquarium! I’ve noticed the gourami is stressed out and had these white spots. It’s ick right? If it is should I be worried about knocking out my cycle when I treat? How should I avoid an ammonia spike ?

Hello everyone, I have 2 red claw crabs, one male and one female, they’ve both molted recently, the female molted today, however it seems after the female molted the male attacked her, when I found them, she had one missing leg and one claw missing, he was eating her claw, I had put food in...
