Yes paralyzed. Not clamped fins, they are rigidly fanned out (guppies). Not dead, they are breathing. I have a 29g well established tank. Amm=0, nitrite=0, nitrates= 5ppm. I tested the pH and hardness to see if there was a possible ph swing. Nope. Temp is stable. Trust me i check on these fish...

I have a few fry that are about 5 weeks old. Just started getting their color. One of them seems deflated and theres a lump coming out of him, looks like his organs 1) how the heck? 2) do i euthanize? He looks like he’s in pain

I have a ten gallon tank with 2 female guppies and a male. I'm worried about one of them. actually both of them for different reasons. 1) the male only bothers female 1. constantly. i am worried it will stress her out or kill her. he is relentless! 2) female 2's last litter was premature and...

A few weeks ago i finished cycling my tank. The water got pretty bad at one point and the leopard danios i had seemed especially sensitive to it. 2 died, 1 survived. He started eating and swimming and socializing again, but a couple days ago he got bad again. He hangs in one spot and barely...

I just noticed these scurrying all over a log i purchased a month ago. There are live plants in there. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? What are they? How do i get rid of them/ keep them from harming my fish?

hello I'm a relatively new to fishkeeping and completed cycling both my tanks using fish about 2 weeks ago. both my tanks have live plants, and being honest I've neglected to remove dead or decaying parts of the plant. I have a 7.5gal tank with a built in filter, 79 degrees F, an attached...

My guppy had fry about a month ago. I’m trying to gender them and separate them but they all look so identical. I cant see a difference in anal fins or coloration i was in the hospital for a week and they didn’t get fed as much as they should. Could their development be stunted? Are they all...

Help! I had to be in the hospital for 6 days and just returned home to a relatively newly cycled tank. Its 10 gal, 5 zebra danios, 1 leapord danio, 2 guppies, 7 guppy fry. The nitrate levels were about 20ppm before a small water change and water levels were pretty low. Their light is automatic...

I admittedly have very little experience with guppies. I purchased 2 pregnant guppies, researched what their labor might look like, and separated them to a tank where they could be alone when i saw them acting like they were in labor. They went into labor at the same time. Mama 1 had 7 fry (that...

Hi! I’ve been doing 30% water changes every other day for my 7.5gal tank with 1 guppy and 7 fry (in a hanging breeding box). I tested the water yesterday and it wasn’t great so i did a water change and gravel vac. Levels of all three , ammonia nitrite and nitrate, were high. But today i checked...

I thought in new tanks nitrite and ammonia will rise, drop to 0, and then nitrate will slowly rise. But that’s not whats happening here. I started this tank using some water from my first tank (which i just discovered never finished cycling) and a decoration (knowing most of the bacteria sticks...

Ill make this as brief as i can. (Parameters will be at the bottom) I had a ten gallon tank, me knowing nothing about fish stocked it with 3 comet goldfish. They did pretty well for a while and then all slowly died from ich. I decided i enjoyed having fish and wanted to do things right so i went...
