Hi. I had found a couple of very small american toads. One of which is actually a lot larger. I am sure it is a juvenile. I wanted to make sure I had the right tank set up for them and proper care so I came here. I have been feeding them small bugs that I find around outside. I do not spray any...

Hi. This past weekend I went to my uncles house, he has quite a large pond filled with koi and a couple of goldfish. One of the goldfish that was there was severely hurt. I wanted to help it and my uncle said I could take him. With that I also got 3 koi fry I am raising for him. The tank is 10...

Hello everyone! I just recently watched a vicious attack on my largest scissor tail rasbora...the culprit? The rest of his school. He is bleeding on his tail and every single one of his fins are ripped. He is hanging out in a cave now but I put food in and he came up but the other two chased him...

Hello aquariuminers, I have recently got a new upside down catfish for petco, yes I know they are very bad with animals but they are the only place by me that gives refunds for dead fish... So anyway, I don't know what species of upside down catfish it is but it has not eaten, or moved from the...

Hi I was wondering what type of fish these are, I caught them from my nana's pond as little wigglers last summer. I don't know if they are, in fact bluegills. I have been feeding them brine shrimp, which they eat happily. They both are in a 10 gallon tank, and their names are Bonnie and Clyde...

I have a scissortail tetra that has a rather large lump in her stomach area. I know they are egg layers so that is what I am asking. Is it eggs or something else? How to I take care of the eggs if they are eggs? Answer quick, it's getting bigger. Also is it that I am maybe over feeding it? I...

Hi blackmoor311 here! I have algae on the rocks of my pristine tank that won't go away. I can't use chemicals because of the fry in the tank. Any tips?:fish2::rolleyes:

Hey blackmoor311 here, Probably a stupid question but can some fish crossbreed??? I have a molly, platy, gourami and 3 scissortail tetras. The babies are all orange, yellow or red so I suspect my platy but how does she do it! Random fry appear out of nowhere with my gourami chasing them. I don't...

Hi blackmoor311 here! I have a black molly that constantly just lays on the bottom barely moving. When he swims his front fins move very quickly, way faster than any of the other fish his size. He also goes to the top to eat, yes he eats twice a day normally, and he keeps his head just below...
