    Help: Swim bladder in a stunted goldfish.

    Hello, I rescued some goldies about three years ago, Gus and Fred were the only survivors. Gus is fine, and has nearly doubled in size. Fred was horribly stunted and hasn't grown at all. He has always been special, but only swam upside down sometimes. Now he swims upside down a lot, and has...

    Cuddles!

    Do any of your goldies cuddle at night? Gus and Fred always settle in a corner and cuddle at night. I've been trying to get a picture for some time, but they always see me coming and swim up to say hi and beg for food. I finally caught them last night! It's so cute!

    What is everyone's opinions on plecos in with goldies?

    My two goldies are in a 55 gallon tank and now they have a BN pleco buddy. He's been in with them about two months. He was in a tropical tank that I took down and no one wanted him. I have been trying to find him a new home before winter as my tank is in the basement and drops to 55 degrees...

    Now what?

    So Gus and Fred are doing awesome, no worries there, but now I have what I believe to be planaria worms on the glass. They are tiny, itty bitty, white, and look like tiny bits of thread on the glass. Some slowly craw on the glass, but most look stationary. Every once in a while, one will pop...

    Help!

    I posted an update on Gus and Fred and I mentioned they had parasites, well I think its not that after all, but I don't know what. I have done two doses of Prazipro and I have salted the tank, they were improving but now they are lethargic again and look horrible. Please help, what can I do?

    Update on Gus and Fred

    Gus and Fred are doing great! I recently tried again to get two new ones, but they came with parasites, and, despite my efforts, I lost them. And despite bleaching my water change hose, Gus and Fred got them too. I dosed with prazipro and they both seem to be doing better. Anyone have a...

    Question about native tanks

    Any Utah locals here? I see a lot of people doing native tanks and got curious about my native flora and fauna. Does anyone know the rules and regulations for Utah concerning catching and gathering for aquariums? Also, I was in southern Utah, playing in the Sevier river, and I was sitting...

    Dillema and bullying

    My new little guy, a 2.5 inch lion head, has been in quarantine for a week and a half and last night I decided he was okay to throw in the big tank with the big boys. I put him in while the others were distracted eating, watched for a bit, and then went about my business. When I went back to...

    I have a couple questions

    As far as decor goes, I was trying to keep things light and minimal in my new 55g goldfish tank, but the longer I have this tank, the more I'm finding I want more in it. I placed two small bits of extra driftwood in that I had and moved a java fern from my betta tank and stuck it to one of...

    Goldfish Rescue

    I will be rescuing some goldfish this weekend and am getting their entire set up in the process, and I need some advice. I have a 50 gallon tropical tank, but I've never moved an active tank before. The tank I'm getting is a 55 gallon (That's the only thing she's gotten right) with four fancy...

    Do I need to worry?

    I bought turquoise rainbows a few weeks ago and now that they are in the main tank I noticed they have white lips. I've never had rainbows before, is this normal or do I have a possible cotton mouth infection? Everyone is acting normal and happy. Amonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 10...

    my honey gourami.

    These are my beautiful honey gourami, Clover and Tupelo. And Tupelo is all decked out for a date. He's made a nest in the frogbit and is wooing his girl for all he's worth. I have a problem though. I don't really want to disturb his nest but I don't want to get behind on my water changes...

    I was just given a 45 gallon tank...

    A friend dropped off a 45 gallon tank yesterday and told me I could have it. It has an Aquatech 30-60 HOB filter, and a good light. It's odd shaped 36X18X17 and I think it may have been meant for a terrarium but she has had fish in it for years. She lost her last fish and decided she was done...

    A good Co2 regulator

    I have a 50 gallon planted tank that has been running nicely since February, but my sad attempts at DIY Co2 have yielded not so satisfying results. I have decided to switch to pressure C02 and I have a bubble counter, diffuser, and a filled 5# tank. I need some advice on a regulator. My...

    Help, injured fish? or sick?

    I just bought some lemon tetras on Friday and just noticed this little guy has a problem. He's got a bulge on his right side and he's not using his fin right there much and it looks like the scales are coming off. Any ideas what it might be? Injury? Illness?

    Frustrated

    I am just having terrible luck with ottos! A week ago I added my first fish, eight celestial pearl danios and a pleco and a dozen shrimp, and I realize that it might be too soon to add ottos, but I started getting healthy green algae all over and so decided it was okay. I bought four ottos...

    Brown hair algae and Wisteria

    How long dow it normally take for brown hair algae to go away once a tank is cycled? Its everywhere and ugly. Also, how long does it take for Wisteria to change its leaves from submersed to emersed? I've got new growth on what was labeled Wisteria, but the new leaves look the same as the old...
