    Is this a bruise, an infection, or color change for betta?

    She is a galaxy koi (has koi coloring with shiny blue scales scattered in). The ‘koi’ coloration in bettas come from marble lines. The marble coloration causes the coloration to change over time especially in younger fish. Her color change looks like normal koi ‘marbling’ ;).

    Is my dumbo a male or female

    Could you post more pictures or a video? If you can get him/her to flare in a video, it’d be easier to tell.

    Will Assassin Snails Kill Nerite Snails?

    So seems like what I was thinking... Well might try a couple nerites that I won’t mind if they get assassinated [emoji848] Thanks! PS: I did have an explosion of assassin snails from having that overpopulation of ramshorn snails but after deep cleaning the tank, there’s maybe 10 or so assassins...

    Will Assassin Snails Kill Nerite Snails?

    I have a 120 gallon tank that I put assassin snails in to get rid of out of control ramshorn snails. Now that all the ramshorn snails are gone, I think I want to add some nerite snails. I have read that if the assassins are fed, they shouldn’t go after bigger snails such as a nerite. Is this true?

    Should I move them or what?

    Thank you [emoji4] I just don’t want to overstock anything. So how many rams would you think I could have in the 125 if I decided to add them to it?

    Snail help

    Looks like common pond or bladder snail to me. They breed easily and fast. They are pest snails and hard to get rid of. Could get an assassin snail to help keep the population controlled as they eat other snails (hence assassin ��).

    Should I move them or what?

    I’ve decided to stick to the original plan. If the betta doesn’t work out in the 125, I’ll move him into a spare 10gallon.

    Should I move them or what?

    I have a 125 gallon tank that has 7 sword tails, 4 mollies, 3 cories, a dwarf blue gourami and a clown pleco and I have decided I wanted to add a plakat male betta to this tank. Well, I got an orange koi plakat male and some 4 extra cories last night. I’ve added them to a 20 gallon long tank...

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Thank you and actually I was looking at aquabid and at yunite too. But I'm afraid to get anymore right now untill I get the tank back to normal and add more plants. Yes I've heard balloon rams aren't hardy but that's what I had locally at the time.

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    They didn't make it :( and thanks everyone. I will eventually get rams again but for now I'll do some more water changes over the week to get rid of the rest of the melafix. I Think I'm going to add more live plants for whenever I get the chance to get more rams. I Wouldn't have thought they...

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Thanks but unfortunately I came home to 2 dead gbr (one was the female) and the other two hanging on. Other fish seem fine and I checked the water and that's all fine too. I blame it on overdosing melafix. I Was dosing 2xs a day with carbon in the filter and everyone was fine but I wasnt seeing...

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Update- well the eggs are gone this morning and I don't see any fry so I assume they didn't make it. Probably best since I still need to get rid of the dad's fungus. And I realized I didn't really thank you Andy Sager ;) I'll be more prepared next time they spawn because obviously this was a...

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Update- checked on them before I went to bed and less eggs now. Don't know if they were infertile and they ate those or if they hatched and the other fish got to them. Hopefully if any fry hatch from what's left by morning, I can catch them.

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Ok seems that it's ok to use with eggs/fry. Going to start treating with methylene blue when it gets here (had to order) and that does say its ok to use with fry. Update- I saw a couple eggs wiggling this morning before I went to work :D

    German Blue Ram Spawned But....

    Hello, I have a 55gal community with 2angels, 3cories, and 4 german blue rams. Of those 4 gbrs 2 have spawned (yay!) but the male seems to have fungus or something and I have been treating the tank for that before they decided to spawn. Should I keep treating or will it be bad for the...
