sad

So I clearly have a diatom issue! I’ve read so many things however I’m even more confused than when I started as all the information I’ve read is conflicting! My parameters are great ph 7.5 ammonia 0 nitrite zero and nitrates 12.5mg. it’s a newly cycled tank so I know this is normal. However it...

This is my girlfriend's parent's tank. They have 4 comet goldfish in a 5 gallon. The tank has no lights. It has a filter and a bubbler. They keep it clean. They put a lot of work into the tank but I can't help but feel bad for them. They said I can take the fish but I don't have a big enough...

Hello guys, So I got home today to find one of my Neon Tetras dead. Usually I wouldn't be super worried, it happens sometimes, but he had a large chunk taken out of him. Something ate part of him but I have no idea if he died first or died from the bite. I have Angelfish and Dwarf Gourami in...

Okay guys this might be a weird question but do fish get sad when one of their tank mates dies? I noticed that, about a month ago when one of my mollies died, the other mollies in my tank were not as active for a few days. I assumed it was sickness but they didn't show any symptoms except the...

Hi guys. My betta fish looks always tired and sad . Sometimes he turns aside and usually stays at the bottom. His aquarium is 2.5 gallon. His temperature is 25-27° I don't overfeed him. And now he lives alone in the aquarium. He only gets happy when he sees me ( he become more active and look...

Hi. I don't post much on here but I'm at a loss. I started cycling my first tank (37 gal, ph 8.2, KH and GH between 15 and 17, temp is around 84-85F) I've added tss+ twice once before I got a new filter (switch as much media as I could to new filter) then added another a little later. Just this...

Okay, so firstly Hi, my name is Hamza, I'm from the UK and am rather new to the hobby (and this site).   and I want to apologise for having such a long post, I just really don't want any fish to die.   I have just finished my 1st year of university, and liked the idea of getting a fish tank to...

So yesterday my obsession got the best of me and I got a beautiful veil tail lavender betta for a deal i couldnt pass up.. $1.45 at the LPS,   anyway.. I put my new buddy (Mystic) in a 1 gal tank and he has been VERY VERY shy (compared to my crowntail betta who is the same size tank) he just...

Hello everyone, I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this correctly I just bought a pair of Kribensis Cichlids today and a couple of hours after adding them to my tank I found the Female dead My water levels are all fine and I only keep peaceful community fish so I have no idea why she died. I...

Hi, We've had four dead fish in our large tank in the last few days. We haven't had any die in the tank for about a year or so, so this isn't normal! I'm at work so I can't give you the exact water parameters, but they are all within sensible ranges. No ammonia, nitrite, small amount of...
