My friend just picked up some fish that were in a bad situation. They were in an unfiltered, not heated tank. She got 2 blood parrots, 7 pictus catfish and a red finned shark. Their gills are all swollen and they're breathing heavily (see attached pic). She tested the water that was in the bags...

My tank is an overgrown wilderness. I've never trimmed them before and wondering how I go about doing it? Do I have to take all my plants out ? Do I just pull them apart? Do I use scissors ? Are there certain plants I shouldn't trim ? Any help would be appreciated !

Hello all, I bought a fish that was near death from a pet store that was selling out sometime last January. He's in a 5 gallon heated, filtered tank. I feed him a pellet formula for bettas and frozen bloodworms. About 6 months ago he started looking like he was bulging near his tail region, I...

I know it's a post for unhealthy fish but I have a 46 gallon community tank with guppies, platys, cories and two African dwarf frogs. Today I noticed one of my frogs has what appears to be a blister on him. I'm not sure if it's from him hanging out behind the heater, or his skin trying to shed...

I have a 46 gallon I set up a little over a month ago. It was a second hand tank I purchased so I wasn't sure what light was in there. It's a powerglo 30w, wondering if this will make me have a algae bloom or overgrowth at some point. Is it too powerful? Should I switch to something new? My tank...

I have a 46 gallon with a biowheel 350 and a Aquaclear 30. My tank inhabitants are 6 adult guppies, 4 juvenile guppies, about 60 fry, 3 bumblebee platys, 4 Cory cats and 2 African dwarf frogs. I added 2 of the cories and 3 of the platys a few days ago. I noticed yesterday one of my old cories...

Hey everyone, I'll give a bit of a back story first, I had a 15 gallon tank that was at capacity, it had 6 guppies, 2 African dwarf frogs and 2 Cory catfish. My guppies quickly started spitting out babies so I set up a 5 gallon tank for them and cycled it. It got to the point I have (and...

I have a 15 gallon community tank with 6 guppies, about 90 fry (no joke), 2 Cory catfish and 2 African dwarf frogs. I just set up my new 36 gallon bow front. I have my aquarium set up in a little nook in my bedroom so space is very limited. What is the best way to speed cycle my 36 gallon ? It...

Hello all, I have 9 guppies and 2 African dwarf frogs. Noticed lately my guppies have been brushing up along my driftwood and decorations. I guess what you can call flashing. Began with my male fish and is now happening to my very pregnant females. I am wondering if it's safe to use API General...

Hello all, I have had my tank up and running for well over a month. It cycled about a week ago and I added a few fish and 2 frogs. I did have two plants in there but I noticed they were turning brown. I'm figuring my lighting is inadequate. I have a waterhome 20 tank I bought second hand off...

I set up an aquarium a week ago and it has been cycling with prime water conditioner. It's a 20g tank that was purchased 2nd hand off someone, it came with a filter but I had to put new material in it. I purchased a new 100w heater also and set it to 76. Yesterday I went to the pet store to get...
