Seagrest farms apparently recently bought out most of the smaller farms in florida that use to raise fancy guppies. I'm not sure exactly who this guy is, but since seagrest raises a lot of fish in ponds, this could be how your fancy guppiy from petsmart or Petco was raised. A dirt pond. Don't...

So i thought i had beaten a strange disease a long time ago. Well, in fact, i did. I had to move to an apartment, then our small house now, so i got rid of most of my fish supplies. But, being the kind hearted person i am, I kept the guppy fry after they seemed o.k. Now, 6 months later, those...

Fancy bred fish are affected. Livebearers especially are affected. Symptoms are bloating, sitting at bottom, not eating, rapid breathing, and stringy poo. I have seen it over and over on the forums. My own treatment worked, but im not 100% convinced that it is gone. I will happily share my...

Yesterday, my Calico Fancy goldfish female got stuck between two rocks, she could not move at all. My male black moor (her spawning partner) was furiously trying to get her out of there, to the point that he scraped his side. Stupid volcanic rocks got unglued from the back of that aquarium...
