I did move it to another container yesterday. The fish seems fine now. It doesn't has that curved body now and is straight. I will check if it eats and if not, I'll trying feeding it a pea. Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, I have had platys for about a year now. Today morning, while feeding, I noticed one of them to be bent and at the top of the tank. He seems not to be eating and I am worried that he'll recover. Also a quick google search has now worried that this might be an indicator of some...

But I thought they are good to have in the aquarium? IF they are so bad, what's the best way to get rid of these?

One more thing. I have noticed that the size of my java moss has reduced to half of what it was before. Could this be due to these snails? A quick google search told me that these might eat plants if left with no other choice for food

Oh. I do have some algae in my tank. I guess it would be wiser for now to leave them be if they are not harmful

I've been at college for a few months and my mom has been taking care of my fish. I am home now, and I found some things I don't like to see. I had bought some java moss and introduced it into the tank before leaving. I think I might have let some stuff hitchhike its way into my tank. So now...

I had a school of 6 serpae tetras with 4 angels and 4 pearl gouramis. Never had an issue with one another. I guess it depends on the individual fish. I don't know about rainbows but I think tetras should work. As long as they are fast enough and don't easily fit into the mouth of other fish, I...

I had bought some Ceratopteris Thalictroides recently. After planting it, I had some leaves that were cut off, probably during shipping. I had read somewhere that this plant grows insanely fast and it is like a weed. So, I sort of just let them float around in the tank, to see what happens...

The Cories are a lovely addition to any compatible tank. They have a great personality. Very active and crazy fish. I'm sure you would love a few of those.

I have a sand bottom tank that has been running for a year and a half now. Never had those air pockets and I don't even have any snails. So, I wouldn't worry about it at this stage. Adding a bit of powdered fish food might be useful too. I used this when I cycled my tank to provide the micro...

Did a massive and a much-needed tank cleanup. I had ordered some plants and they arrived today. I planted them and played a little bit with the layout. He seems to like it..! or try this https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DEItg_-aLvzuw4LiWLL0CiPGE-seOWHd

But I thought detritus worms are white?. These are reddish. Also, are they harmful? Should I remove them or leave them be? I have a 40 gal tank and 10W leds running for about 11-12 hours a day. Could the sudden change from no lights to this have caused the growth of diatoms? I am thinking of...

I found a few worms wiggling in my tank's sand bottom. They are reddish, very thin and have made tunnel-like paths for them. I am totally grossed by them. They definitely weren't there a week ago. I am attaching a picture and a video of them. Please help me id them and kill them if they are...

I read about this online and many pages had one thing in common. That it is mostly incurable and the fish will die.

He passed away this morning.! [emoji17]

Okay. A weird thing happened. I did a epsom salt dip for that dwarf gourami. And after a few minutes I put him back in the main tank, I found something floating. I went near and found this :( The belly looks reddish. What could this be? I am having a really bad day

The scales do not look good. I think I touched them and it turned reddish. He is moving his mouth too fast. Should I just euthanize him?:(

The fish is a blue dwarf gourami. It has an inflated stomach now. I don't know if it is bloating or some bacterial infection. I just came home from college and my mom said to had been like this for four days. It it too late? Please help me id the problem and to cure it! Pictures are down here...

Sorry for the late reply. I tested the water. Ammonia was 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates 40. By none of the fish are showing signs of illness, i meant by their behaviour. They act normal, eat normal and move around normal even the sick neon. It has only the outer signs of infection(?) but its...

My tank is a 200 litres one. It currently has 3 adult angelfish, 4 cories, that neon tetra, 8 red eye tetras, 2 golden snails, 4 pearl gouramis, 2 blue gouramis. I'll do a test and update on water parameters. But you can assume it to be normal since none of the fish including the supposedly sick...

Yeah, that'll supply the nitrates. But still I have vermicompost in the jar mixed with the soil. And I wonder how long will the micro nutrients last in it and how do I replenish them?

Hey, There is this brown stuff on my aquarium's glass. It is about 3-5 mm in size. It comes off clean when I wipe it. I doubt if it is a brown algae. If it is, I think it is in the early stage and would love to hear it from you guys on how to eradicate it. Also, I noticed these same brown...

YAY! It is definitely a new growth...!

Sorry, I forgot to update this thread. Autumnsky, it worked! I filled the container with water submersing the plant. After a few days, the water evaporated and the top leaf was out of the water. Then, I sprayed some water and covered the plant with a transparent wrap to keep in the...

Angellove, growing aquatic plants like this takes time. OR At least with me, my emersed anubias is yet to show any major signs of growth. Give it sometime, maybe?!
