I have a 20gal tank with 2 guppies, 1 rummy nose tetra (i have to get more the others died), and 4 neon tetras. I recently had a guppy that became sick and im assuming had TB because of its bent spine, lethargy, discoloration, loss of appetite, etc. I moved it to a hospital tank where it died...

I’ve had my elephant ear betta for about 2 months now. he’s always been kind of sluggish, but recently i’ve noticed he lays on the bottom for most of the day, and occasionally gets up to move to a new spot. His color also faded a lot, and his tail fin has become damaged. At first i assumed it...

I have a 20 gal tank i recently treated/ am still treating for ick. i put 1 teaspoon of salt per gal at 86° for 2 weeks. i changed about 5 gal every day. i started slowing the treatment about last week, and started doing water changes every other day/ every 2 days. yesterday i noticed one of my...

I was just cleaning one of my tanks when i found what looks like a live bloodworm. i've never feed my fish live bloodworms... i feed them freeze dried ones the other day but this one is moving. i am beyond confused.

I have a 20 gal tank that I am treating for ick. All the fish are fine, but one guppy had it really bad. the white spots popped off about 2 days ago, but he's still been hiding behind plants and wood. he's very discolored and his side has turned slightly yellow. it also looks like the scales on...

i have a 20gal planted tank with ick right now. i've been treating it for about a week. i'm setting up another planted tank (10gal) and i want to add some plants from my 20 gal into the 10 gal. will the plants transfer the ick? i most likely will wait to transfer them for another 2 weeks but i...

I have a 20 gal community tank with (originally) 7 neon tetras and 5 guppies. The tank got ick and 2 guppies and 1 neon tetra died. out of the 3 guppies left, 2 look really good and are swimming around like normal, but one had white spots for a while and was very discolored, but today he started...

I have a 20 gal tank that i have been letting cycle for a month. I didn't do much testing (which was a BIG mistake) but i put food in it every week and before I had 0 ammonia or Nitrites. i didnt test for nitrates (which i now also realize was a BIG mistake). I have two other fish tanks with one...

I have a 10gal tank with an "AquaClear Power Filter 20 V". Its a great filter, so I decided to get it for my new 20gal tank. To speed up cycling, could I take half of my old filter media and put it in the new filter, then take half of the new media and put in in the old filter? Would this speed...

I'm thinking about starting to hatch brine shrimp. I'm not breeding my fish, but I heard they are very beneficial. Is it worth it? Do all fish eat them? I have neon tetras, guppies, and corys.

I have a 20 gal standard freshwater tank that is cycling right now, and I'm going to make it a community tank. I decided to try live plants because in my other 2 tanks I have fake plants. I watched many videos and some people used aquatic soil and some used regular sand. I'm not sure if what I...
