It’s been awhile since I posted, I have been living the breeding life with my freshwater shrimp and bettas. This is a different issue. My red claw crabs. A few days before what is happening now, one of the crabs was found dead while the other two crabs were eating off some of its limbs. This...

Basically I got some rasboras yesterday for a nano tank, pearl/celestial rasboras. I got 5 of them for my shrimp tank. I acclimated them correctly, and this tank is established. The next day I find 2 dead and the remaining 3 are fine. Nobody showed signs of stress either. I think they just...

Hey guys! I know that there aren’t many options but I have a 3-gallon tank tall that is cycled and planted and I want to add something. Please keep in mind it’s a 3 gallon TALL. I think the only options are MAYBE shrimp and nano fish but I want to see what I can do. I don’t want it to go to...

I recently got a new Betta I am still trying to name. What is common behavior in a betta? I am always so anxious when owning fish because I am more experienced with crustaceans and nano fish. Basically my betta, who I just added to a new tank, will chill at the top and not move for a little...

Hey guys! I need some good names for my new Panda Crowntail Betta male. He’s black and white.. obviously. Right now some ideas I have are: - Alpha - Sam - Haku Any suggestions?

If you haven’t read my previous posts, I had a few guppies I moved to my loach tank. Well.. ever since then everything has been chaos. The guppies I got were sick so we had to return them, but now the loaches are acting weird. One actually died overnight and the two are laying on their sides...

:fish2: Hello! What kinds of female bettas are non-aggressive? I was told that Betta Imbellis is the least aggressive species in the betta fish family compared to others. I know that female bettas can get territorial, so any idea what kinds I can keep together to create a sorority? I am aware...

Gonna redo the 10 gallon tank. What fish should I house in it? I don’t want an aggressive tank. I want a peaceful tank. My most thriving tank right now is a nano tank, and I want to stay nano if I can but I have a pleco. What fish can I keep? I have a bristlenose pleco that I love. I want to...

Got a guppy from the pet store today, and of course they don’t care much about their aquatics. I saw a guppy alone with the tetras that looked different from the others, he was extra wobbly. Got him in the fresh new tank, he was doing good but suddenly he stopped swimming well. He is tipped...

Hello! What algae eater be in my tank with 3 yoyo loaches? It is quite small right now, it's a 10-gallon tank, but algae is growing and we need an algae eater that will hold its weight with the loaches. We have a dominant loach in the tank, the biggest one, which is a little bit longer than the...

HELLO! I am back and better than ever with my tanks. I now have two 10-gallon tanks and plan to keep upgrading, I just had some questions to continue to educate myself. How do I improve the life of my yoyo loach? He lives alone and eats all the bladder snails he can. I heard they are a little...

In the past 3 weeks, my 2 shrimp died during their molting process when I added them to a bigger tank. The water parameters are just fine, what could be the issue with the tank?

If you keep up with my posts you would know that my boyfriend and I own a 10 gallon tank, a 5 gallon tank, and an unused 3 gallon tank. We find it easy to maintain the 5 gallon but it’s been difficult with our 10 gallon. When we had mollies they didn’t really like the 10 gallon, so we got rid...

If you keep up with my posts.. I have a shrimp and snail tank. It seems like the snails are overpopulating the shrimp. My two shrimps, Banana and Blueberry, were molting and we found all the baby snails eating them.. or what we think is eating. They are piling on them. The water parameters are...

Hello, I am back! I haven’t been here in awhile because we gave away our pregnant mollies. They were hard to take care of and I was crying when I thought they were stressed.. so instead we got a tank with shrimp and snails! We started with 2 shrimp and 2 snails.. and they both had babies. Yeah...

So.. my boyfriend and I got some mollies about a month ago, and yeah.. they got pregnant as they are easily breedable fish. We decided we need different fish, we aren’t ready to easily breedable fish. So, What gouramis and danios fit together? We are hoping to get a gourami and danio tank...

Are these two males or females? At first we thought they were females but they look like males. I have to know quickly because we only have 1 confirmed female and 1 confirmed male in the tank, if these are both males we need to balance it out with females quickly so the female doesn’t get hurt...

My one sailfin Molly is always wobbling in the tank. The other three never wobble. I checked the pH, hardness, nitrite/nitrate and everything is good. There are no signs of unhealthy bacteria or any parasites. Can anyone tell me what is up? I keep googling but it’s never accurate. Can it be a...

Right now in my 10 gallon tank I need some tropical freshwater bottom feeders. I have 4 baby mollies in here right now and I need to know what freshwater bottom feeders can survive in around 72-82 degrees. In my colder freshwater tank I have two snails and some baby shrimp but that won’t work...

I have a female Molly (I am pretty sure it’s a girl) but what species is she? I have 3 other fish. I have a Dalmatian Lyretail Molly, Sailfin Molly, Panda Lyretail Molly but I have no idea what species she is. She came with the sailfin but they didn’t have a species code for it so we just got...
