    My guppies always die

    I now believe it is a bacterial infection. Went to lfs had water tested and it's great like usual. She recommended moving my shrimp and snails and dosing tetra lifeguard for 5 days. Come home and do some research on it and apparently it's not safe for scaleless fish like my Plecos and corys...

    My guppies always die

    I did have ich when we first started treated by raising temp for a couple weeks. The black skirts and Pleco were in that tank as well as my neons now in a different tank. No signs of the spots since. No red gills. The Plecos Poo is long and stringy but brown thought that was normal. I have...

    My guppies always die

    Qt tank is not really feasible. For one thing I don't notice anything wrong with the fish so they would end up goin in the big tank either way. Also just don't have room for another tank to sit empty and how would I keep it cycled with no fish. The point of this is to prevent getting new fish...

    My guppies always die

    New Fishies

    First off I know nothing about aquariums except what I've read in the past few days. We were gifted a 37 or 40 gallon aquarium from the neighbor because our 1 year old son loves the fish in her 90. In fact, he learned to say "ish" within a few minutes of watching it. We've had it up and...
