Can anyone identify? Heard that detritus worms are harmless but Planaria are dangerous. PS hahaha I know my aquarium glass needs a clean. And my water is yellow from tannins :)

My cories have been pregnant before. Didn’t even know this one was potentially a girl. Does this look like dropsy or a pregnancy? Belly looks quite lumpy. Moving around and eating like normal, just moving more slow, maybe just because she is tired from carrying a bunch of babies but not sure...

Btw I forgot to add, I have two filters in my tank and a air stone and there is quite a lot of movement in my tank. Not sure if that could effect the quality, online someone said over filtering can kill your plants ): but then I know that having the two filters helps me keep my tank super clean...

Sorry for the late response. I live in essex and according to the map I have hard-very hard water :) I ended up chucking away the Java moss, it had gone completely brown and one of my fish had fin rot and I was scared that the decaying plant was ruining the quality of my water. Ever since...

I am from the uk :)

Also can anyone recommend chemicals I can buy to improve my plants health? Been looking at loads on Amazon but not sure what’s a waste of money or what will actually work. I can’t afford a co2 tank and it seems a bit complicated for the little knowledge I have about aquarium plants anyways

Well I decided to finally introduce a live plant into my tank about a few weeks ago. Java moss is supposed to be quite easy to take care of. I attached it to a piece of drift wood with hair bands (not too tight just enough so it didn’t fall off the wood). Anyways……my Java moss is just clearly...

Also I was surprised how many times she gave birth. I only managed to try and attempt to scrape at least two sets of babies she gave birth to, all the others she ate as soon as she laid them. About every 5 minutes she was holding new eggs between her fins ready to lay them. (Sorry I’ve never...

I was panicking trying to Google how to safely take eggs off the tank glass. I watched a video of a guy doing it with a blade and tried it myself and was unsuccessful…..I found removing them so hard, any that I managed to take off the glass fell into the substrate. I guess it’ll take lots of...

One of my cories gave birth only about 3 days ago (I was so excited as this is my first time witnessing a fishie give birth) unfortunately my cory decided to eat the eggs as soon as she gave birth and didn’t even give me a chance to move the eggs 0.0 I was basically forced to buy the heater. I...

I just went to the store to ask for some advice and they said maybe he isn’t getting enough food. I feed them blood worms and pellets. She just sold me some granules and he is eating it all up and is no longer going to the surface every two seconds. I will continue watching my little pickles...

Hello everyone…… My Corydoras are all thriving and doing great. Expect one. He is swimming to the surface every 1 minute (literally about every 30 seconds). I have a air pump and two filters so there’s a lot of water movement ect. I am very new to fish keeping as I took these fish from my...

To add to my thread I went and picked up medicine straight away (interpret anti bacterial medicine ) it says it’s good for open sores and ulcers ect, praying that helps my fishies poor wound ☹️

Please I’ve checked my tank this morning and one of my Corydoras has a red lump on it’s fin I’m so worried please help me how do I help my poor fish. I tried my best to get a picture but my pictures are quite rubbish because he was swimming a lot. Please can someone tell me what this is I’m so...

Hello everyone, I did a water change a few days ago and noticed that one of my cories has changed colours and looks very pale (I attached a photo) can someone please tell me what the reason for this could be? Is my cory unwell?

Can someone please confirm what fish this is and why it’s eyes are red?

Hello Thankyou so much for replying. These fish did not come with anything but a tiny fish bowl, they didn’t even have plants or hideouts. That’s why I was worried and took them home with me. I have them in a 10 gallon tank for now, I completely know this isn’t big enough. I’m saving for a 20...

Hello everyone, I rescued these 3 fish. 2 albino Cory catfish and one rosy red minnow. They were getting along just fine this whole time. But I am noticing the minnow is constantly chasing the corys, at first I thought the minnow was just lonely and was following the corys. Can someone please...
