    Hi Everyone, I've inherited my mums tropical tank after she passed away last month. She's been keeping fish since I was a girl, I worked in a pet shop for a number of years so I'm not a complete novice, but I'm unsure if this is treatable (I fear it's not!). Back story, is my mum was...

    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...

    I am checking the water tomorrow as I usually get it done by my local pet-store, but so far, I only have one sick fish - the rest seem to be just fine. My black male Molly (affectionatly named Midnighter) is sick. He has been rather slow for about 2 days and would stick to the top left corner...

    I just got a new tank that has a working hood so that i can actually have a light in it, and i noticed that my one angelfish has a pinkish red blotch on his back between two fins (look in the photo on top of his tail) . Could this be an illness or a physical injury from tank transfers? I cant...

    About 2 weeks ago I added 2 peacock gudgeons to my 20 gallon tall planted tank. The tank had been cycles for over 2 months and already housed 2 female honey gouramis. Whileven they were juveniles when I bought them and can't be certain, I believe I purchased one male and one female gudgeon...

    Preamble: Hello all, I have a betta in a 3-gal "walstad" bowl. Very low tech (just a light); very heavily planted. The water parameters are fine, as is expected in an established NPT. The betta is probably about 2.5 to 3 years old (i'm not sure, he's a rescue), and the bowl has been set up for...

    Hello all, I recently bought my 20 gallon fishtank, probably about 2 months ago. I've had no problems until recently. I bought an upside down catfish, 2 marble mollies, and 3 more tiger barbs. Yesterday, I found one of my marble mollies and my catfish dead. My catfish was covered in white...

    I have a guppy that has a fairly large brown fuzzy growth on his tail fin. The fin was previous richy colored orange/blue, but the area has bleached to white all around the growth. Looking closely, he seems to be bleaching in other parts of his body, and I believe there may be a slight...

    Hello! My planted 10 gallon has had a string of recent casualties lately. All 3 cherry barbs have died and 1 Cardinal Tetra (Leaving only 4 Cardinal Tetras, my Betta, and my BN Pleco left). I know it was a bit overstocked but its pretty heavily planted so I figured it was fine. Anyways, my...

    I introduced three new fish (clown loaches) without putting them in quarantine first. I feel like a massive idiot. The next morning after adding the loaches, I noticed one of them had some white specks I hadn't seen the day before. I've never had ich in my tank, but recognized it right away...

    Hi all, I have been researching fish to add to my aquarium. I thought neon tetras would be a nice addition, until I read about neon tetra disease. And how it can wipe out an entire tank and is very difficult to completely eradicate from your tank once it is in there. So, I'm wondering how...
