Today the divider in my ten gallon betta tank somehow got slanted and one male betta managed to squeeze into the others side. When I got home, one of them was already very injured. His fins are shredded, he has a lump (bite mark?) on his spine, and his lips are very swollen. I've fixed the...

I discovered some of my fish had Callamanus worms, so after research I ordered Levamisole in Vermisol pigeon dewormer powder. I began this treatment about 24 hours ago. I gave my 36 gallon tank 5 grams to get the correct dosage recommended by some sites, turned off the lights, removed carbon...

One of my male mollies has suddenly become extremely aggressive. He was terrorizing all fish in my 36g community tank, chasing them and biting them... I decided to move him to my goldfish tank (that is about 75 degrees because my apartment is so hot) just to see how he would do, and he bit...

Hi! I had a few platies die about a month ago, and then a male swordtail developed a big orange tumor on his side and died. After that, all of my fish seemed fine (20+) for a month, though I did have a few fry die off unexpectedly last week. I had treated my fish for internal parasites because...

Fish Suddenly Dying + Tumor on Swordtail Hello, I noticed last week one of my fish was acting lethargic/laying on the bottom of his tank and breathing rapidly. I put him in my quarantine tank and it died overnight, but all other fish appeared healthy. Two days ago another of my male platies...

Hi! I noticed one of my adult fish seems a little bloated and has whiteish poo, but no other fish in my main tank have these symptoms. However, I keep reading to go ahead and treat the whole tank if you might suspect parasites - but I have about 20 two week old molly and platy fry in that tank...

Hi! My mother recently surprised me by buying some fish for me - one of which is a male molly. When I got him, I noticed that his head has sort of dry/crusty scales that are paler than the rest of his body, just on top and around his face. While it looks kind of weird, he is super active and...

Hi! I bought a new betta fish two weeks ago and he is happily living in a 2.5 gallon aquarium by himself with one little live plant, one fake plant, and a floating betta log thing. It does have a filter and I've been changing about 3/4 of the water each week. He is feisty and enjoys watching...

Hi! I have a cold water 15 gallon tank that held two small fantail goldfish that I've had for over six months. The tank is cycled, and meters have been reading fine. Two weeks ago, my boyfriend's mom gave us 4 tiny comet goldfish fry to keep for her for a few months (They're about 3/4" long and...

Hi! A female swordtail fish gave birth to a batch of fry about 2-3 weeks ago in my 15 gallon tank. All were fine, I counted about 9-10 up to a few days ago that were easily spotted. Suddenly, yesterday, I could only spot two. Tonight I see none. They are in a community tank with other full sized...
