Hi, I just noticed that my Betta who I've had probably about a year and a half now has a big lump on its side. Anyone have a clue? He's in a 29 gallon with 2 red wag platys, 5 Dalmatian Molly's, and a huge pleco. I'm moving soon and plan to upgrade to a tank more appropriate in size for my pleco...

Well all my little snail babies are in my 25 gal tank, but I also have 1 betta and 1 mystery snail in a 2.5 gal tank. The betta has been looking poorly lately and I've been wondering why, and then tonight after I dropped her food pebbles in the tank I think I figured it out. The snail...

Well, after having my 3 mystery snails in my 25 gal tank for several months, I now I have my first eggs! There are 3 clutches that have been recently laid. What should I expect?? Is there anything I should do? How many babies should I expect(approximately iof course)? I'm fairly new to snails...

Hi, I've had several mystery snails in 3 different tanks for about 3 months. Their shells are starting to deteriorate and crack. One looks about to split wide open. What is going on? My water parameters are all fine. I bought a cuttlefish bone and put some in. Can anyone help?

Can snails tolerate aquarium salt? I put a little bit in my 25 gal tank yesterday and now one of my mystery snails is acting weird. I'm actually wondering if its dead. I'm kicking myself now for putting thy salt in there without thinking and making sure it would be ok first.

I have 4 neon tetras and a betta and 3 mystery snails in a 10 gal tank. Water params are all good. This one neons belly has gotten large in the last week or so. I tried getting a good picture, ill post the best one I got. Any ideas about why this fishy has a big belly all of a sudden?

Just sharing. I saw my snail sticking out this freaky tentacle and had to share. Haven't seen this thing sticking out before or since. Lol.

Well, I haven't had a lot of luck with algae eaters, I've had 3 die on me. Im wondering if snails might be a better option for keeping my tanks clean. I'm looking to put them in a 2.5 gal that houses 1 male crowntail betta and a 10 gal that currently houses 5 neon tetras. I did have a rubber...

Hi! I have a male crowntail betta in a 2.5 gal tank all by himself. He usually swims to the front and acts all excited when I come up to the tank, I guess he figures its feeding time. Last night when I went to feed him, he had the sides of his head all flared out at me. Only other time I have...

I can't seem to get this fish keeping thing right. Please tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong. I have a 25 gallon tank. Stock: 6 small tiger barbs 10 small neons 1 black skirt tetra who thinks he's a tiger barb 1 dwarf gourami 1 female betta 1 pleco 1 Chinese algae eater. Today the water...

Ok, my previously happy and active female crown tail has just been hanging out at the top of the tank and not eating since yesterday. I'm out of water testing supplies so I did a 75% water change and added a little salt, some quick start, some ammo lock, and some beta water conditioner. Trying...

Well, a few days ago I was having issues with my ammonia levels into 10gal quarantine tank currently housing 7 small tiger barbs and a rubber nose pleco. Yesterday when I got home from work the tank was cloudy and the barbs are all swimming around at the top of the water looking like they are...

Ok, so we finally got our 29 gal tank set back up and moved our black skirt tetra, pleco, and Chinese algae eater into it. They seem so much happier. I went and got 7 little tiger barbs and a rubbernose pleco and put them into the 10 gal just vacated by the other fish for quarantine purposes...

Was working on moving my 10g tank so I can set my 29g back up and happened to look in the filter. This is what it looks like, I was kinda grossed out and wondering if I should clean it out or if its got good bacteria in it I should leave alone. This is from running just over a month.

Hi all. I was in Walmart tonight and walked thru the pet department and noticed they had quite a few Bettas. The poor things were all in cups that had about an inch to an inch and a half of water, very little room for these poor things to move. So, I bought one. :( My 29 gal tank is still not...

First, thanks to everyone who has given advice previously about all my fish problems, and about my tetra tank mate questions. I'm almost ready to set my 25 gallon back up, just waiting for the stand to be finished. I just have a couple of questions for y'all: 1. The tank has been sitting...

I posted a little while back about all my fish problems, we had a fishpocalypse due to ich then fish stand issues required me to move my survivors out of the 25g to a 10g, then water issues, etc. Well anyway, my pleco, my Chinese algae eater, and my 1 little black skirt tetra have been...

Hi. I'm new here. Found this forum in my search for answers, hopefully someone here can give me some insight. I don't even know where to start, so I guess I'll start at the beginning. I'm sorry if its long. We got a 25 gallon tank for Christmas. It's our first venture into keeping fish. We set...
