I have toby fish in a 20 gal salt water aquarium. This morning when I turned on the light the toby was swimming and he would turn upside down he would try to correct himself but kept flipping over. His stomach area looked bloated like he had gas in there. What can I do for him. He looks find...

I have a trumpetfish (Aulostomus chinensis) in a 30 gal tank. He is the only fish in there. Today he as been acting very weird. He has been lunging at nothing and flickering around the tank like he is have a seizure. Now he sitting on the bottom of the tank breathing hard. Ammonia is 0, Nitrite...

The fish seem to move around fine. They swim and each have an area they hang out in. The fin rot is not getting worse. I'm doing water changes. The panther grouper is a baby. I know they get big but the other fish and shrimp are bigger than him. How many fish should go in a 50 gal?

I need some help. I have a couple of fish that have fin rot. I know it's usually due to stress from poor water quality but my levels are good. I have a 50 gal saltwater tank with live rock i collected from the ocean (i live in Hawaii) I have a maroon clownfish that first showed signs, a pajama...

Now one of the blue damselfish is missing! I think the eel ate it and that is why he is not eating from me. I guess the damsel got what was coming for him. The other fish is going back today to the fish store. I hope the eel is ok.

That is good to know. I'm not too worried. He did this before but I wanted to make sure it was normal with other eel owners. Thanks for the reply. :wink:

hmm He seemed to love his shrimp and has been eating it for about a year. He appears normal. I guess he is just stressed because of those damselfish. They will be gone shortly. So squid might work huh? I'll try that. Thank you.

Hi. I have a snowflake moray eel in a 50 gal tank. He is a small guy and I have had him for about a year. His tank mates are two blue damselfish that are kinda jerks to him. He goes in their territory and they slap him in the face. He lunges at them but no fatalities yet. My eel hasn't eaten in...

I have quarantined the fish and am treating it with antibiotics. Has anyone had any luck with natural remedies like the melafix? The fish is looking better. Thanks.

The tank is a little over a month old. I had the tank cycle for a month and I tested the levels before I added the fish. There was 0 ammonia and the nitrite levels were very low also. I added two fish and the eel and then the one squirelfish got the cloudy eye. Then I added the quick cure ick...

Well i don't have them on hand. The ammonia was low. The nitrite was high after i added the medicine quick cure which is normal right? What should I treat him with?

I recently got a squirlfish also know as a manpachi in Hawaiian from a fish store. I have him in a 50 gal salt water tank with a hanging filter over the side. The tank has been cycling for a month and the levels are normal. There is no live rock, a couple of hermit crabs, an baby moray snowflake...

I do have test kits and all are in the normal ranges. I'm not sure about the temp as I do not have a thermometor. No werid breathing. The small angel did not make it. I just want to know what it may have been so I can fix it. I love angelfish and dont' want them to die. Thanks for any help. Lia

Hi all. in the last week I had two of my large angel fish die. They seemed to be healthy and then they started to float with the mouth up and their tail down near the surface. they didn't really move much and then the next day I found them dead. They didn't have any spots on them or look of a...
