Little Franklin finally passed away :c Thank all who replied in trying to help, he fought for a long while.

Tried a dip with bizarre/distressing results. I had already treated the tank and had let him be in it for a few hours, before I put some tank water in a gallon container and mixed stress coat, aquarium salt and less than half a measure of metro for the dip. When I put him in he started losing...

Bought Metroplex, LFS didnt have Prazi. Considering giving him a dip as well as treating the tank and soaking his food. Would that be going overboard/not be effective? Still not sure if soaking the snails is really working as far as absorbing the meds, but I can try bloodworms again I suppose.

My little DP has come down with something, im guessing internal parasites since that's common in them. His breathing has been off but not concerningly hard until today; he's just been resting on some of his ornaments and had a bit of red eye going on and a lumpy belly. I've already put some...

hey all, i'm wanting to set up a small 5gal on one of my shelves. I don't really have a way to know the weight capacity of the shelf, so i was thinking of getting a support of some kind. the problem is this shelf has a closed back, so i can't drill anything into the wall. are there any supports...

i'm considering getting a dwarf puffer for my 5gal. i've been wondering how i would house some snails for him, as i don't really have space for a random breeding bucket or another little tank for them. I have a 20gal i considered introducing snails into and pulling out when its time to feed, but...

The bloating started in the belly region, and didn't include pop eye. I can't think of any direct trigger that would have started the reaction, whatever it was once it started it affected everyone pretty rapidly though. We are on well water actually, so I'm not sure how to get a report on that...

I feed Omega One super color flakes, a tiny pinch twice a day at first and then once a day the past 3ish months because I thought overfeeding might be the problem. I don't have any live plants, and the bucket and siphon were bought new for aquarium use only. The only chemical I can think of...

the temp is 78 F, and she was in the second round of purchases after the death of the DG and other platys

heyo, i've had a 20 gal running for about 7 months and every fish i've put in it (save for one) has died. my original stock was 3 guppies, 2 platys and a dwarf gourami. the gourami went first, and was very bloated and pineconed before she died. Sounds like dropsy pretty clearly, but my water...
