Hey all, the past 4-5 days I noticed my Betta fish got really bloated to where I’m surprised he didn’t pop. Day 1, 2 and 3 he was fine. Still swimming around I went from feeding twice a day to once a day and even gave him some peas on day 3 or 4. Now, it’s the 5th day and he’s spent all day in...

My fish tank has been getting cloudy a couple days after I would do a water change. I’ve been noticing this consistently stringy algae that is tangled all throughout the rocks and is hard to vacuum out. Is there any kind of algae remover for that? Is it possible to shovel out all my rocks and...

I just bought 6 Nerite Snails. One of them hadn’t moved for 3-4 days and appeared to be open and wouldn’t close until I touched it and then it would SLOWLY close but not fully. So I went to return it and the fish store said it was still alive. I swapped it for another snail and now a week has...

I’ve had the tank (55 gallons) tank for 2-3 months now. The algae started forming early this week so I vacuumed the gravel and flipped as much rock as I could and it’s still growing. Is this normal? How do I get rid of the green algae on the white rocks? PH: 7ish Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm...

I have a Pictus Catfish that keeps on swimming along the left side of the glass in a small circle. It seems like he hasn’t stopped over the past couple weeks since I got him. I’ve tried to move him to the other side of the tank and he swims away fine but then goes back to the left side of the...

If those have you seen my other posts I was forced to do an in-fish cycle. After having weeks and weeks of fluctuating test results of ammonia and nitrites going from .25ppm all the way to 1 ppm and multiple water changes, I am now at the point where my readings have been a consistent .25...

Hey everyone, I have a 55 gallons fish tank that has been up and running for about a little over a month now. I originally had 8 tetras, 2 angelfish, 1 beta, 1 red-finned shark and 2 plecos. Everyone is around 1.5-2.5 inches right now. Last week one of the tetras died so I am down to 7 and one...

I just cleaned my tank and now all of sudden all my fish 8 tetras, 2 angelfish, a little mini red tailed shark, and a beta, are all “schooling” together. This can’t be right?

I have a 55 gallon fish tank, it was a starter kit so it came with a filter, I have an old filter I used for my 20 gallon tank, can I throw it in there too? Or would that be counter productive? I only ask because I bought a 50 gallon tank about a month ago and it was starting to get cloudy and I...
