I asked this in the unhealthy fish topic but I guess I could have asked it here. I had about 7 ghost shrimp for about two or three months. They were doing great but last week I found a dead one. It was a larger one so I assumed it was old age. Few hours later there was another dead one and a few...

This morning I saw a dead shrimp in the tank, all pink and yucky. It was one of the larger ones so I assumed she just died of old age. Well just this afternoon I saw another one had died! The others are hiding, I can only find one under the logs. I just did a water change a few days ago and...

Okay, I have a little bit if explaining to do first, so bear with me! My husband won a goldfish at a fair before we got married (been married for five months). I had a forty five gallon tank for my mollies and we kept the goldfish in there for a while but I wanted to put him in colder water, so...

I have a 45gallon freshwater tank that developed a hairline crack on the bottom part of the front panel. It came in a set with the stand and hood, and is also an odd size so I'm trying to find out if I can get just the tank and not have to buy the whole set again. All that to say, the fish all...

I currently have a 45 gallon female betta tank with nine girls and a five gallon with a male betta (obsessed? Yeah lol). So I know a good bit about them. My fiance won a common goldfish at a party he went too. I tried to force him to buy at least a five gallon, but he instead got a one gallon...

I have a swordtail Ive had for three months and he isnt growing at all and then yesterday he was swimming very oddly, like floating around like he didn't care where he was. He nose dived and darted a few times too :/ what could be wrong? Pictures in next post. All water parameters fine, though...

Hello again! I went to petsmart and couldn't bear to leave this poor betta there! He is in horrible shape :( is there anyway to know if he will live or not? I got API fungus cure and am treating him with it. He is in a 2.5 hospital tank right now. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

So I'm probably getting married in September and moving 21 hours away. Because of this, I've been curious about the move and how it will impact my tank. My bettas should be fine, but I'm worried about the others :( I just got my tank happy and love all my fish but I don't want to stress them and...

Is it a pimple? I was told it was by the store but it keeps growing and he might be getting more on his other side. He lives in a five gallon tank by himself (he is in a breeding box in the picture for pictures). Ive had him since may.

Hello! Thanks everyone for the help so far with my tank. First off I have a 45 gal tank with plants, caves, and lots of other hiding places yet lots of room to swim. The water was fine, no ammonia with normal nitrites and nitrates, pH at 8 and it is rather hard. Tankmates are three male...

Okay I post a lot here but I know I can trust you guys to help out! My sister (as stated in another post) got a tank for some female bettas. One of them was a little terror and was promptly removed. With nowhere to put her I added her to my big tank (which consists of three swordtails and five...

My sister was jealous of my female betta tank and got one for herself. She bought the bettas from pet smart (where I usually get mine) and one of them is flashing. Its a new tank and everything, five gallons. She hasn't shown spots yet, so I'm not sure if its ich or not. The other two bettas are...

Hello! You all are going to think I'm an awful fish owner after this story, but I must tell it to shed light on the problem. I bought a tank, cycled it, and got some fish. Two of those fish were a rainbow shark and a red tailed shark. Ich attacked my tank, so I put lots of bubbles in there to...

Hello everyone! I'm new here and somewhat new to fish keeping. I've had bettas for about ten years and three months ago I decided, since I'm finally out of college, that I would get a large fish tank. Sadly I became the usual victim of pet stores. I listened to the worker, got fish he said would...
