Do these platies look parasite ridden? I have attached pictures of multiple platies. There is planara in my tank, are they killing my platies?

I don't have an all platy tank, I have them in with guppies, a gourami, and some bottom feeders. No matter how clean my water is, no matter my how good my parameters I can't keep my platies happy. They are always clamping. I have them in 7.2 ph and the highest their nitrate is ever at is 10...

I have stripped my cichlid of her fry now and they all look alright. They're not eating the flakes or pellets that we put in the container, so do I have to buy baby brine shrimp? they are pretty much free swimming. My female on the other hand is breathing extremely heavy. Is this normal? She...

Over the past two weeks I have lost three guppies. Two of the three that died had no signs of anything wrong. I don't know what what is going on. Changes in the last two months: started using plant food. I do 5ml every other day. I added a paradise gourami a week ago along with one of the...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). I have a male guppy that, I had thought was a pregnant female for like two weeks now, I just didn't think to look at the sex I figured...

I've had guppy and platy babies, but I haven't quite dealt with cichlid babies yet. I hear about stripping but I don't know exactly what that entails and I'm not entirely sure what to do? If anyone has any advice, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

I have a question about fish in cycles. First off, a little background information: my LFS accidentally ordered some very expensive bettas, and I'm going to pick one up today that is a solid white half moon male. I am super excited about him and in the process of setting up my extra tank for him...

I bought a java fern today and I just took it out of the bag and I found something on the leaves. I wasn't sure if maybe someone knows what this is? Id greatly appreciate if anyone might have anything to share. They are raised and I'm worried it's some kind of eggs or something? I tried my best...

I just bought a small bottle of this plant food today, and although the pet store said it's perfectly safe with fish, I'm a little leery. I'm a fish keeper before plants and i just want to get a second opinion before I add this to my tank. Does anyone else use this, or have any experience using...

I was wondering if I could use a plastic light diffuser in my tank to block off a corner of my tank. I saw on another website that you can use this instead of fragment racks as maybe a cheaper alternative, and the design of those is what I want. Something that has holes so the plants can still...
