I noticed this morning this white, maybe cottony growth on one of my rasboras fins, and I'm not sure what it is. I was thinking it could be columnaris, but I can't tell. He is in a 20 gallon long aquarium with 3 other rasboras, 5 corydoras, 1 male betta, 4 kuhli loaches, 2 bamboo shrimp, and...

I came home and fed my fish and noticed that one of my cherry barbs was acting a little weird. When I got a good look at it, it looked like its mouth was stuck open and it was just swimming along the top. My parameters are fine, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and >20 nitrates.. I separated the fish for...

I recently got a 20 gallon long and have been searching around trying to figure out what to stock it with. I know for sure there will be a school of 4 or 5 corydoras, and 5 kuhli loaches because I need to get them out of my 10 and want to expand their numbers. My boyfriend is really into glass...

I was at PetSmart today and saw a female betta on the lowest shelf and with torn up fins and I felt awful for her. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her and really want to go back and go get her. I wish I had room for another tank but with 3 in my room already I can't really add another...

I've been spending a lot of time looking at pictures of people's awesome planted tanks, and now I want my tanks to be just as awesome. =) I've been doing some research but I'm still a bit confused on some things. For substrate both tanks have sand in them right now, would I need to take that out...

Yesterday I had to go to Petco to get my dog some food and other things, and as always stopped by the fish section to look. My boyfriend pointed out one of the cups marked baby betta and said that it looked like the fish had died. I picked it up and this little guy was in. He looked at me, I...

Last night I noticed my betta had lost a lot of his color and wasn't swimming around as much as he usually does. I tested my water and everything was fine with the exception of the nitrates, which were pretty high. I did a 25% water change and added in a little less than half a teaspoon of...

I'm finally starting to like how my 10 gallon looks, lol. I still want to add some more live plants, especially back where you can see the air pump and the heater, but I'm content for at least awhile (heh, yea right XP). And after not knowing anything about fishless cycling before I got my tank...

I posted on the unhealthy fish forum last week about a sick cardinal tetra I had in my 10 gallon. I went and got my water tested today at PetSmart to discover that my ammonia level is at .5 and my nitrite level is 1.0. =( The lady who helped me said it looked like I was in the middle of my cycle...

Hello all! I'm new to this website, and have been lurking around for the past few days looking at everyone's awesome tanks (they make me pretty jealous, and wish that I had room for bigger tanks). =D Here's a photo of my 10 gallon and a bonus pic of my albino cory Mordin. =P If anyone has any...

Earlier this week (Monday I think) when I got home from work I noticed that one of my cardinal tetras was not with the rest of them. When I found him he was on the bottom of the tank with one of his eyes clouded over. I looked online some and read somewhere that a water change would probably...
