  1. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hi guys! I’m a beginner keeper, and I just wanted some opinions regarding the death of one of my guppies. I added 4 guppies to my tank last night. This tank is new and had no other fish, but was cycling for 5 weeks and test strips were (and still are) within good parameters. I acclimated them...

    About six months ago, I purchased a 3.5-gallon tank with 3 guppies and one aquatic snail. Almost immediately, one guppy died and had to be replaced for schooling reasons. Since then, we've had no problems and were even able to introduce a new aquatic snail. Sadly, two days ago one of the guppies...

    Hi, I recently got a tank of 3 guppies and one aquatic mystery snail. It’s a 3.5 gallon tank with a filter, heater, decoration and fake plant. One of the guppies was much smaller than the others when we bought it and recently he had been disappearing. I don’t know where he went in the tank and I...

    Hi, I’ve had a betta fish for almost two years now, he’s a male halfmoon. A few weeks ago I noticed a white spot on him but it didn’t seem to bother him so I just treated it with aquarium salt. It never got better. A few days ago we noticed he wasn’t able to swim up to the surface and every time...

    From what I can tell, my tanks have a columnaris issue. It looks like strain two, as they appeared to die of hemorrhagic septicemia at first, but now they just die with very little warning aside from lethargy. Is there any good treatment for columnaris? I have kanaplex and furan-2 coming soon...
