    Hi I am stumped, My husband and I got into freshwater fish tanks about 2 weeks ago and all our levels are good but we have an influx of cloudiness now all of a sudden. I'm told this can be bacterial bloom and that it is safe for fish. We had already gotten around 6 cory catfish but now my fish...

    Hoping someone can help me with what treatment I should use for my danio. I am in the UK and i cant seem to find any of the medications that are advised from other threads I have read with similar symptoms. One of my danios is really thin. He eats and acts the same as the others. I feed them...

    Hi, A few days ago I picked up two new Blue Tux Platys from my local fish store. I inspected the platys to ensure there was no visible marks or signs of concern. After I added them to the tank (29 gallons, stocked with 6 other platys, a bristle nose pleco, and two snails) I noticed that they...

    Hi, So my new Electric Blue Acara has today spawned some eggs and I wanted to know if they're fertile or not. This is the best image i have got so far as they're at the back of the tank. Any help is helpful.

    I tried starting a shrimp tank, but failed. I started with five very healthy Sunkist shrimp and they were doing great eating, three of them even molted within that first week, but on the exact one week mark they all started dying off one by one and now all that’s left is a snail. My current set...

    Hi! My fancy guppy has had pop eye for almost two weeks. I started with putting him in the quarantine tank and putting some aquarium salt and slime coat in. He doesn’t seem to be eating but he must be? A week ago I started the 3 doses of kanaplex but it doesn’t seem to have helped (finished...

    So I have been attempting to cycle a 10 gallon tank for some African Dwarf Frogs for a few weeks now (I intend to have 3 dwarf frogs and 1 mystery snail). My substrate is a fins first brand pebble that states it does not alter water chemistry. I have three smooth river stone like rocks with an...

    I have a 5 gallon tank with a mystery snail, nerite snail and an Elephant Ear Betta. The mystery snail's shell has become increasingly pitted and degraded, likely due to a lack of calcium and low tank pH. My pH is around 6 at most, which is too low for both the snails, and potentially the fish...

    Hi there. One of my angelfish jumped out of his tank while the lid was off for cleaning. I didn't realize he'd gotten out until I found him on the ground. He wasn't moving, but on a whim I put him back in the water. After a few seconds I noticed his gills slowly moving, and he began to swim...

    I am setting up a 5 gallon tank to fishless cycle for a future Betta. I'm almost 2 weeks into it. I bought two small Sword plants, and stupidly put the water from store into my tank with the plants. (I know now that I should have sanitized the plants, but I did NOT know then.) I actually...

    So I have an established 10 gallon that I test every other day. I had extra media floss in my HOB so I can transfer to my future tank. I came across a rimless 14 gallon cube and I saw that taking the old media, rocks, decor and even some of the water will help cycle this tank faster. Fast...
