Hi, I'm really reaching out now because I literally have no clue on what to do: A few months ago (probably like january), my betta started getting huge parts of his tail ripped out. I thought it was some sharp wood in the tank, so I removed most decor and left only a few plants. With no...

Hi, today I noticed one of my tetras is twitching, and very skinning compared to the rest of the school, and kind of off on his own. Loss of color, kind of swimming diagonally at a tilt but like not to an extreme amount If he is sick and it's un curable, no worries but I would really like to...

Hi, Just got my honey gourami in a planted 10g three days ago. It eats dead plant debris, and the first day took a small bite of fish food. I've tried small pellets, larger more noticable pellets, freeze dried brine shrimp and bloodworms, and instant baby brine shrimp, but my honey won't...

Hi, just went to my aquarium store to setup a new tank today. The owner helped me pick out the plants and decor, and gave me a few suggestions with how to stock it. I originally wanted a dwarf gourami, but here's her recommendation: 1 honey gourami unspecified amount of green neon tetras OR...

Hi, all of the plants in the tank except for the anubias are turning a little translucent and yellow, what is the problem and how do I fix it? Nitrate: has always been 0, water changes every 3 and 1/2 weeks I dose with Easy Green twice a week and a bit more than suggested, and there are root...

Hiii, just recently I had to euthanize my betta due to a pretty nasty tumor that restricted his ability to have an enjoyable life. Obviously it was an experience I would rather not go through again. I know that generally, koi bettas are more prone to getting tumors, but is it something...

Hi. If you look at some of my other posts you'll see Benny. a 1.8-year-old betta who got a tumor around 8 months ago. For the past 2 days, he is barely able to swim. Up until 3 days ago he seemed to be doing well and an active swimmer. I did a water change on the 12th and of course, I forgot...

Hii. recently my betta (about a year and a half) has been slowing down and resting everywhere. Still eats normally and swims occasionally, but it's definitely different from him about 2 weeks ago. He used to bolt around and explore and while he still does that, it's not as frequent and everytime...

This morning I noticed a slight film over my betta's tank. By looking it up, It said that it was from either an oil or protein build up. I haven't had this happen before. This is a 10g tank holding 1 betta. I last changed the water 2wks ago ( i usually change evry 3wks) I feed him fluval bug...

which one should I get? like whats the difference and which one is better / easier to maintain?

Heyy I'm a beginner with a 10g holding a betta. Finally got the water still enough to keep floating plants and looking for some suggestions that would look good and grow well in my tank. (preferably easy to care for and I don't mind having to remove some if it is a fast growth plant) I'm also...

Hi! This discovery just made my day so I thought I would share. I had been wanting to add floating plants to my tank, but my flow was always too strong so I had to hold off. I saw this trick on TikTok and I just tried it -- IT WORKED :) Just pick up some filter media that you can get at a...

I had been monitoring a tumor/abscess on my betta for a few days now. This morning, it has seemingly burst. He eats, and I am thinking he will live through it but I also have read a lot of betta horror stories of terrible things happening, lol. Is this the "ending stage" of whatever this was...

Hi! Just purchased two of these tall plants for my betta tank, the woman gave me the scientific name but I forgot (lol). She said they were related to peace lilies? idk. They are pretty beat up but when they grow properly they develop variegated leaves - super pretty! They have round leaves...

Hi! So, today I noticed a small white lump on my betta fish. It is shiny like his scales, and fairly larger than ich spots so not ich. He eats well and is happy throughout the day, no drastic changes in appetite or behavior. I looked up what it could be, and it said maybe a lump if it was...

Hi, what algae is this and how would I go about preventing it or removing it? It's a pain. Will snails eat it? I have I phosphates which I take care of with a filter media, I just don't have one in the tank currently so that could be what's causing it. But if it will continue to grow and...

Hello! I've been kinda nervous to ask about this, but my betta (around 5 months old, I've had him for 4 months) has been continuously glass surfing around his tank. He was like this since I've gotten him, and I put it off as him being young. 10 gallon tank - live plants and plenty of...

Hello! I just went to feed my betta, and he was having trouble locating where his food was when I dropped it in. I took a closer look and he had developed a blue ring around both of his eyes. It isn't swelling or anything -- but his eyes were pitch black this morning (this is something I pay...

Hello! This is my unnamed betta I have had in this 10 gallon for about 3 months! Decided to show him off now that his tank is all freshened up. He has got a lot of variety in food, aquarium decor, etc. But I was wondering if anyone has experience in things that could help provide him and...

Hi! I have been searching for hours and haven't found an answer to my question. I have a 2 month old 10g betta tank, (1 month fishless cycle, 1 month with fish), and so far my ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are doing well -- too well. I have not done a water change in 3 weeks, and my...
