stressed fish

Cover all sides of your tank with brown paper to mimic a real life lake/ocean/pond. And your fish will be less stressed out and their true personality can shine through. Tested out with my Pea Puffer tank, and they look so calm and full of thoughts, compared when they were in the fish shop. I...

i just found my livebearer stuck to the filter intake, so I turned it off and he floated down from it. He was in shock for a few minutes but now he's swimming around again at almost full health, even eating food. The only thing now is that, since his rear fin has been slightly torn up, he's open...

Hello all, in new here. I've just came to ask for some assistance. I recently started back up my 10 gallon tank after having moved to a new location. I had kept the water going in the tank along with the air stone and the filter, so the water didn't go stagnant. A couple days ago I got the...
