  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...
  2. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Most tropical fish species that are sold as pets belong in a freshwater aquarium. Getting the temperature, lighting, and filtration in a freshwater aquarium from the very start might not be as straightforward as it seems, so it’s best to opt for hardier types of tropical fish, which can tolerate...
  3. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hi, I have a 36gal tank that was set up last summer and was well cycled, with all fish living very happily. I had to give fish away because they were breeding so much (sign of happiness?). I went away for two weeks in December, and have been fighting an increasingly difficult battle to keep my...

  5. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Today morning, I had to change water of my fish tank/bucket(temporary), so I kept the fish in a mug and it jumped off and didn't get noticed by me for around 5 minutes. After I saw this I rushed towards the fish and put it again into water. It was very weak and needed a stimulant like water...

  7. Tropical Fish Diseases
    Hi, With a heavy heart I must admit, my first attempt at guppy keeping is having a worst possible start. I did a good bit of research on guppies before buying them, however I didn't know anything about aquariums and didn't realise that I had to cycle my new aquarium, nor they have informed me...
  8. Tropical Fish Diseases
    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...
  10. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    My father hasn't been using his 100 gallon tank for years so instead of throwing it out, I decided to make it more colorful and lively again. I will have guppies in the tank as well as shrimps and snails. I am also thinking about cardinal tetras and rummy nose tetras, but I heard they are not as...
  11. Livebearers
    Hi there, I’m new to this group and had a concern in my tank. I saw a few discussions here about this but didn’t really get an answer out of them and my situation was different than the others I’ve seen. So to start I have a 20 gal freshwater tank with rock and wood and live plants. I have a...
  12. Tropical Fish Diseases
    I have a newish guppy I got from a store that developed what looks like saddleback columnaris. I didn't have any Furan-2 on hand, so I have been treating it with good success with Kanaplex (it's looking way way better, all the "fuzzy tendrils" are gone and now it's just a flat pale spot again)...

    Hi this is my first time posting on one of these but I just can't find someone who has a similar problem to mine. So for starters I'll tell you about the tank it's a ten gallon with an amazon sword (I've been adding 1 ml of flourish to the tank to help it grow, also some snails that hitched...

In the cold water tank I want to have guppies, golden white cloud minnows, reticulated hilstream loaches and zebra danios. However, there is a problem. This is in a 40 gallon and according...

    Hello all, I have a few sick fish at the moment. I currently have three male guppies and one otocinclus in my 20 gallon tank. I had a fourth guppy, but he died from this mystery illness and I do not want the rest of my fish to succumb to it. With the deceased guppy, I had treated with kanaplex...

  18. Livebearers
    I've been looking to start breeding guppies, and I want to buy online since my local fish store doesn't hold a very large variety. I don't want to buy from a bigger corporation because I want to be able to get my fish from someone I trust and can easily communicate with. Does anyone know good...
