So my betta recently passed and I was thinking about maybe getting another solitary tropical fish for my 6.5 gallon. My question is: can I fit a kuhli loach in my aquarium comfortably? I have a large mushroom castle thing, two plastic plants, and a bunch of marimo moss balls in my tank. I also...

I tried espom salts for swelling in eye and tummy and posted about it but now I think Magma is dying I have him propped up in a net up near the surface but it's only a temporary solution. He can't breathe was gasping on the bottom and tried to swim up several times but kept falling. His color is...

So Magma(my betta) has been swollen for some time. I've posted on here and treated for popeye with seachem kanaplex. However, even after treatment one eye was still swollen, as well as his tummy area has remained swollen for several months. I'm wanting to treat with epsom salt. My question is...

So I know Magma(my betta)'s getting old, but i'm really worried cause he's not eating. Keep finding uneaten food in filter. Is this just a sign of old age or is there something I can do to help it? Thanks in advance!

so I got a new tank decoration and I'm a little worried about the paint. It looks like it's run down inside the decoration and dried. Also there are lots of tiny little holes that I'm afraid Magma (my betta) might swim inside. I've already put it inside my tank but worried it might cause a...

So I just got an API master freshwater test kit, so excited! Been wanting one for a while and just tested the water. I'm a little confused about what the results mean and what to do to fix the ammonia and nitrates besides water changes. Any help would be appreciated! (The tests were done before...

So I got an anubius congensis awhile back and it seemed to be doing fine. Then all of a sudden it got some weird stuff which I posted about. It went away after I put it back into my main tank, but then my leaves started decaying one by one. I now have exactly two leaves left on my plant and it...

So I noticed that Magma (my betta) tends to hang out inbetween the heater and filter with his head downwards. He'll just chill out there until I can coax him to swim out. Is this normal? Thanks.

So I've had my plants in a small glass fishbowl while I medicated my tank cause I read meds aren't good for plants. I change the water in the bowl every day but lately I've noticed some hard brown stuff right where the stem and leaf meet on my anubius congensis. It's really hard and won't come...

So I've been medicating my betta for popeye and he's not better after the treatments but I was going to put my carbon insert back in anyway cause I'd been running the filter without the pad. I did a water change just now and when I went to turn the filter on-with a new pad in it- it wouldn't...

So I know I should have been medicating my betta for popeye and dropsy (possibly?) sooner but it took forever to find some Seachem Kanaplex and I eventually ended up ordering some online. I started the treatments on Thursday. I was away for the weekend and had a family member take care of him...

So I know it's not really Magma's (my betta) birthday, it's mine, but I wanted to do something nice for him. I plan on ordering him a nice new gravel siphon (I've been using a net to fish waste out the past ten months), and he has a new anubius congensis plant and a new cave I made in his tank...

So I got an Anubius Congensis plant for my tank (They didn't have the nana I'd hoped to get) and since I didn't have a qt tank, put it in the small fishbowl I use to store my fish supplies in. There isn't a filter or heater or anything in it, I'm just free-floating it. My questions are: (1) Do I...

So my betta's had popeye for some time now, and even though I've treated him for it he hasn't gotten any better. Then today I was changing his water and my fingernail happened to scrape the suction cup holding my carbon filter to the tank. All this white stuff floated off, and it took several...

So one of my two marimo moss balls has slowly been ripping apart over the last couple of months and now it's barely holding together. I can't figure out what's wrong with it and how to help it grow back together. I rinse it in cold water, squeeze it, and roll it between my palms when I change...

So I read online that you should use ampicillin to treat popeye, but I couldn't find it anymore, not online or in the stores. I also read that melafix and bettafix are not good for bettas. I wasn't sure what it was, so it's been several weeks since I first noticed the first eye, and now both...
