I'm not sure what forum to put this in, but since my tank is a freshwater one I decided on here. Anyway, sadly I need to say goodbye to my tank and fish. I'll be going away to college soon and my parents won't take care of the few fish I have left. How do I go about rehoming them and alllll of...

Here's the low-down; I just got back from camp on Friday night and found out the the power went out Thursday and the filter hadn't been on since. The water was cloudy and the tank full of gunk. I put in airstones and re-started the filter and was going to deal with it today. My dad and I did a...

I'm back in the fish forums for some help with the recent additions to my tank. Yesterday I bought 4 male fancy guppies for my 22 gal tank but they're all behaving a little oddly. They've been tending to just sit on the bottom of the tank or hover near the walls or behind the filter. They also...

I'm going to get some food for my SA Bumblee Catfish, who I was told is completely carnivorous. What's the best food to feed him? Alsooo, I'm thinking of looking into live plants (I only have plastic) and would like to know what's best for a beginner and the pros and cons of plants. Any...

Hi there fellow fish lovers. I have a problem. And that problem is trumpet snails. When I was getting the first fish for my tank (over a year ago) the guy at the pet store accidentally picked up a snail. Then it happened again. And as they are asexual my tank exploded with tiny snails. I kind of...

Hi there. So I used to frequent these forums quite often and only stopped because all my fish were dying and I gave up hope. Things are pretty steady except my fish don't seem to be eating. Current inhabitants - 2 neon tetras (used to be 5) - 1 tiger barb (used to be 5) - 4 khuli loaches - 1...

I'm getting so tired of having to post these but my two mollies died. Yesterday I posted about my lyretail being upside down, well he died today. And after he was scooped out I noticed that my black molly was also dead. But she was wedged between the glass and the thermometer and looked like...

What do I do?! I came upstairs and my molly was upsidedown. I assumed he was dead to I went to fish him out, and then he started swimming. Swimming upside down. He's still breathing but he can't right himself. I put him in my breeder box so my other more agressive fish wouldnt pick on him. HELP.

My silver lyretail is acting very odd today, he looks fine (other than 1-2 spots of ich that will soon be gone) but he's like sitting upright on his tail. Or laying in the gravel. If I go into the tank with the net and nudge the rocks near him he hops up and swims around just fine. What's wrong...

So as I came upstairs to feed my fish, I spotted a baby hanging out in the back! I have multiple livebearers in my tank but I was sure most of them were male. Wrong. I quickly plopped in the breeder box and netted my Dalmatian Lyretail Molly. Now that I look at it she looks somewhat squared off...

So I noticed a few spots on my mickey mouse platy, and then again on my Cremesickle lyretail molly. I'm going to assume it's ich. Currently in my tank (20 gal.) is: -5 neon tetras -4 kuhli loaches -2 platies (1 mickey, 1 sunburst) -3 lyretail mollies (1 dalmatian, 1 creme, 1 silver) -1 dwarf...

Recently (last saturday) i finished restocking my tank, one of those fish was a Mickey Mouse platy. It was bright and energetic when I bought it but the "mickey" on it's tail has faded dramatically. Before: After:

I noticed to tonight that my mystery snail was floating on top of the water, almost entirely out of its shell. My other one did this too but he died before I could help. It looks really weird and it creeps me out a bit, what do I do?

Over the course of a few weeks/a month I have lost all of my fish except one. So I figured that it's about time to re-stock. The only thing in there is a male dwarf gourami, I'm open to any and all suggestions!

I am in this forum way too often. sigh. So I noticed my Powder Blue dwarf gourami is looking pretty out of shape. He has these fuzzy things on his feelers (one is slightly red), his fins have a dull grey tinge to them and he just looks very ragged. Is there any medication that I can give him?

So over the past few weeks I have lost 4-5 fish! They all have white spots on their bodies. I tried asking about how to treat ich and people said to raise the temp. in the tank, it didn't work. I'm worried that I'll end up having to do I full tank restock! Help! Tank 22 gal. 2 sterbai catfish...

So just now I noticed white spots all over my cherry barbs face and body. I put him in a QT for now, but I don't know if I have the right medicine to treat it. (sorry best photo i could get) Do I have to get separate meds for ich or can i use the ones I have for fungal infections?

About 14 days ago I posted this picture of my Dalmatian Lyretail Molly: I put her in my breeding box a few days ago and she looks like this now: How long till some fry?

Hi all, I'm re-stocking my 22 gal. freshwater on Saturday and I was wondering what some good additions would be. Currently I have: - 1 Dalmatian Lyretail Molly (pregnant) - 5 Cherry Barbs - 2 Julii Corydoras - 1 Male Dwarf Gourami I know my CB school is small, there was an...epidemic in the...

So tonight i noticed that my molly was a bit...larger. How is she pregnant again? The only male molly in my tank died 4 months ago! Any explanation to this would help a lot.

It's getting colder where I live and the heater I have doesn't seem to be doing much. Currently the temperature is 74 degrees F. Which is okay but the temp always dips down at night. I don't know how to turn the heater on and there's no obvious button.

I spotted something rather alarming on one of my younger julii corydoras. There's a large whitish bump just above his left eye, parts of his tail are missing two. I have had a cherry barb with this same spot a long time ago but he died before I could help the poor thing. I pulled the cory...

I am very excited to say that my Dalmatian Lyretail Molly is currently having her second batch of fry right now! I'll update with more pictures and news on the fry soon.

I've noticed that my dalmatian molly is has a much bigger belly and is having trouble swimming. She moves very slow and a bit lopsided despite her fins moving normally.
