rescue

Drogon, my newest rescue from the hands of the worst pet store, has been under the weather, so to speak, but I CAN’T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CAUSE IS. I couldn’t see any obvious symptoms on him, he just laid around the bottom of the tank, or on a plant. When he would swim around...

My newest rescue from the Dumpster Cats. She gets along so well I just might keep her! She is starting to put on weight, and had her first bath last night.

***UPDATE: Maidenhead Aquatics in the Marina have agreed to take them ❤️*** Hi there, Apologies for registering just to post a classified ad, I understand this is not too popular but you guys were recommended to me as the best starting point. I am trying to rehome 9 (I think!) lovely goldfish...

Please don't shame me, I really have tried my best to care for this fish but everything has been going wrong and I really need someone to save what I've done to my poor Ester ? Last year I cycled a tank and bought a fancy ryukin goldfish and everything has been going down hill. First the filter...

It was New Year’s Eve and 2020 was coming to a close and a certain blonde in north Texas was flipping through Facebook ads when she came across something horrific and alarming - some terribly abused fish in need or rescue. Essentially, my 55 was owned by a couple in southern Oklahoma that had...

Haven't had a betta fish, or a fish in general since I was a teenager. I've been drawn into getting one again past few months! Considering getting between a 5-10 gal. If 10 gal maybe adding a divider (one where they cant see through) And having 2! It/they will be lone fish since they've seemed...

Hi everyone, I adopted these two 10 cm (4"), and 8 cm(3") Electric Blue Acaras from a guy online that said: "-They are 1 year and something". I want to know if I really got a male and a female, and if they are about to breed I'd love to have some babies; I got the two that were together...

I rescued two platys from Walmart last night. Seeing the two of them in the smallest most disgusting looking tank, I'd ever seen and knowing that my betta's 6.5-gallon tank was cycled, heated and filtered sitting empty. (Betta's in quarantine for a nasty case of fin rot) I had to do something...

Hi everyone! I’m realitively new to the fish world, however I’ve done extensive research on Bettas over the past month before making the commitment to own a betta fish. Before adopting my little guy I acquired a 5.5 gallon filtered tank and a 50 watt heater. Right now I’m only treating the...

Hi everyone! If you are on fishlore.com as well, you may have already seen this post, but I always love getting a variety of opinions! Here's the story: A few months ago, my sister got three bettas. Cool, except she claims she "didn't know how to clean the tanks." I only found this out after the...

I recently bought a new betta from the dreaded Walmart. His antiseptic water had faded from bright blue to clear, he had absolutely no food, and it appeared that he has a pretty terrible case of fin rot. I've had many happy and healthy bettas and when I saw his condition it broke my heart to see...

(Apologies if this thread gets photo heavy. The post below was supposed to be posted yesterday, but my neighbor's fireworks weren't as loud as I thought, and I had some issues uploading pictures. Hopefully everything works now.) The same relative I got the 55 gallon aquarium from also had three...
