Same thing is happening to mine. I'm just posting to follow the thread.

I have done 100 % water changes every month or so because I speculated that it would stress him out too much if it was every week. But thanks In will try that and see how it goes. And are you sure thats the reason. Any other Ideas?

Hi guys. I have a betta fish in a 1 gallon bowl right now and its starting to look sick. It does not swim around anymore and just sort of lies on its side in a corner of the gravel floor. It barely comes up for food now and when it does it has a lot of trouble finding the food and after a couple...

I have a 40 gallon tank and I was wondering if the air pump was really necessary because it makes an ugly mess of billed that sit on tom of the water. What do you guys think?

Is hydrogen peroxide harmful to the fish or the other live plants? And if not how much should I spot treat with?

I used to run the lights 14 hours a day but now I reduced it to 8 hours. I can't really spot treat THE BBA because its EVERYWHERE. The type of light is f25t8/5500k daylight.

My tank is s a 40g and I actually have a really really bad black beard algae problem and I need to add co2 and lower light. Its just not going away. Its also killing all the plants. If you could suggest anything on that it would be helpful too. Thank you. And, I'm sorry, I still don't get it but...

I feed the plants api co2 booster and api leaf zone fertilizer. I have fluorescent lighting if that's what you mean.

I bought a clump of java moss about two months ago and its not really growing. I've heard people say things like their tank was covered in a month. Mine's just sitting there on its driftwood. I add co2 and fertilizer yet there is still no improvement. Its only gown like 1 cm. My water parameters...

Sorry it took me a while to reply but I checked my tank today and there's little tiny baby snails EVERYWHERE.

I found this little guy in my 40 gallon freshwater tank. Its not very big I can tell its alive. Probably hitchhiked over on some rock or plant. It was very small when I last saw it like a month ago but now he is a lot bigger. Can anyone id this? Is it dangerous? He's the little thing in the...

About a week ago, i noticed my zebra danio was slightly hunchbacked. Its gotten worse and now it wont eat. Its also having a lot of trouble swimming. Does anyone know whats happening? I would post a pic but i cant find it right now.

I let the guy out of the bag last night when the other fish fell asleep. They aren't being bullied as much now this morning. I think they'll survive.

One was really stressed or something and just sat there while the others tried to rip its fins off. I put it in a bag until some suggestion or until think of something. They lost all their color and are almost completely gray. Im really worried because the bullying has not stopped.

Plenty of hiding places. I tried feeding and turning the light off but it didnt work. One of them is already missing a fin. Any other suggestion.
