problem

I'm confused. I recently acquired 4 algae eating snails, I'm not sure what species they are. They arent nerite snails, they're covered in algae so I really can't tell. I've noticed one of them has a white mark on its underside, I can only see it when it's on the glass. I'm not sure if its eggs...

I’ve noticed that my green terror cichlid has had his mouth open for awhile and hasn’t been able to close it. Occasionally it has been breathing slightly heavy but not all the time. It also sits on its nest outside of the pot all day and won’t move unless it’s provoked or if it’s feeding time...

I need advice on how to stop my electric blue acara from breeding , it was funny at first now it’s becoming a real issue , at first they had eggs then fry and two days later gone they ate them this happens about 6 times or so every 14 days . After changing my gravel to sand I knocked there...

Hi, there is a problem my corys are so often at the surface and not just to take a gulp of air, they litterally stay at the surface vertically sometimes they even stop moving and just float vertically at the surface. It's been a month or so since they started doing this, I was really busy and...

I have one female and three male Peppered Corydoras that have been laying eggs like crazy, but I've had very inconsistent success. I always remove the eggs by rolling them off the glass with my finger so they stick to my finger, and then rolling them onto the side of another container. The...

I don't know if this qualifies as an emergency, but i just received a box with a bunch of mystery snails. They seemed to be fine while acclimating, but now that they're in the tank they've stopped moving around. (they were when I first put them in. Is something wrong? Some of them are not even...

Hi, I’m new to this but I could use some advice. I have had established tanks in the past but I currently am seeing something I’ve never seen before. I got two bristlenose plecs one is definitely more dominant and a lot bigger in growth rate. It’s this one I would like to know about, since...

Oaky, so I have a community tank ,almost a 40gallon, (mostly small guppies) and I have a pair of Bettas( female and male). They used to be best buddies, he was non aggressive and he wouldn’t even approach her unless she was in his spot or something akin to that. Recently (a week and a couple of...

Hi all I have a pygmy corydoras with an over-inflated swim bladder that it does not appear to be able to release the air from. The fish is still able to swim throughout the water column and feed itself, but it must be causing it discomfort. Can anyone suggest what I can do to help this fish...

Wondering if you guys can help identify problems with my planted tank. Completely low tech, plants have always done well and Anubias even flowers occasionally. I have never dosed anything however my stocking level is probably about half what it used to be so maybe thats it? Pic of anubias...

I recently started a planted 10gallon aquarium for my Betta and am using corner filters to reduce flow for his fins. He seemed to be pacing around and lonely, so I decided to get him tankmates. I ultimately decided on a school of ten White Cloud Minnows, who luckily have seen no aggression from...

Less than 3 weeks ago, my fish started gaping at the tp of thee water non stop, all day long. Then the black moor got a white streak of something down by it's nose. I thought it was some kind of output from the moors body, like mucus or otherwise, but now, just 2 weeks later, the moors head is...

Hey all,   I have a Silver Dollar that has been struggling with what I assume to be swim bladder disease. He spends his time frantically swimming towards the surface just to stay buoyant.    It's been over a month since he started doing it. I have tried epsom salts, feeding green peas and...

Hey guys and gals. So when i was a beginner in fish keeping, which i still am, I had an emergency in which i had to move a fish from a ten gallon to any other tank that i had. At the time I only had a empty one gallon (uncycled). I don't remember what the specific emergency was but i thought...

hi all- I suddenly have some type of infestation in my aquarium. It is what appears to be SUPER tiny brown bugs floating all over the water, sticking to the sides, in the gravel and even on my Oscar (see attached pic). In the past two days they have gotten worse. Its like it is snowing brown...

I have noticed in the past couple weeks that one of my brilliant rasboras has been growing a massive lump on its side/stomach. It has been growing for almost a month. The fish is eating normally and is still schooling with the rest. It sleeps normally and swims just a little crooked. Any ideas...

I've got what I believe to be hair grass algae all over my 3D wall it's not easy to get rid of I tell you. Last time I removed it was with the high pressure hose however that took off paint too and consequently doesn't look as great. I've tried algae treatments and leaving it in the dark as per...

Hi everyone I'm new to keeping Malawi Cichlids. Had the 60l tank set up for about a month and 4 beautiful fish in for a week. One of them is swimming on its side with what I can best describe as a 'scraped side' and looks like its poor fins been attacked. I have absolutely no idea what to do...
