Hi, everyone. I have a 10g tank + hood lamp, filter, heater, air pump. 1 dwarf gourami + 2 corydoras. i used to have 3 corys, but one recently passed away. I think my gourami has popeye. He's fine overall. He eats and everything, but one eye seems to be sticking out more than the other. :( Any...

Now my dwarf gourami has a clamped left fin. :(

Unfortunately, I don't have a test kit. Only the strips. I wanted to get it but it's way too far out of my budge. Do all stores, including my LFS, only provide strip water tests, or is there a chance they can give me a free drop test? :( Thank you. My cories seem to be acting better today...

Thank you for your advice! I'll definitely go easier on the fish when I do a water change next time. I'm still concerned about my cories, though. :confused: I don't know what's causing their behavior. It looks extremely unhealthy. I don't know if my current water parameters are acceptable or...

Hi, everyone. Background: So recently I've been combating ich and some unknown illness in my fish. I've been desperately running back and forth from my local Petco (my ride can't take me to the LFS) trying to figure out what to do best for my tank. :confused: Finally, I bought an adjustable...

update So today I took a water sample to Petco. They didn't provide me with exact numbers, but my water isn't a problem. They said it's normal and the only thing is that my water is a little hard, but not to the extent of worrying over. My lyretail has developed ich and I see it has spread to...

Thanks for the response! The tank's been up for around 4 weeks, now, and the fish have been here for ~2. My molly is the only fish that rubs against objects. All my other fish appear fine. Should I try dropping in some Ammonia neutralizer? I don't want to flood the tank with chemicals. I...

Hi, everyone. :) Thanks for taking a look, I really appreciate any advice you have for me. I'm a beginner fish enthusiast and overall all my fish looks really lively and curious. I have a couple concerns regarding my new "kids," however. I feed my fish 1-2 a day, in small amounts. Nothing they...
