My neon tetra tank seems to be having some issues. It’s a 10 gallon tank with 8 neon tetras. One of the neon tetras has gotten very fat, like it looks like it might burst. The neon tetra has a straight blue line, and has been like this for a few weeks so I don’t think it’s going to lay eggs. I...

Hi everyone, my 55 gallon fish tank is right next to my bed, and I was woken up to a very odd thump sound coming from it. When I turned the lights on to investigate, it looks like the thermometer fell of the side of the tank and hit the Oscar fish in the head. He would not move for several...
