So I am very against animal cruelty and really exploiting them in any way for our benefit. I don't buy any animal products or use things that have been tested on lab animals or go to zoos or rodeos or anything like that. So I guess I just kind of feel like a hypocrite because I'm not sure fish...

So I have recently concluded that my Betta has finrot. He is a male half moon I believe and I have had him for a couple months. When I got him there was one spot on his fin that looked torn and I assumed that he had injured himself and that it would get better over time but it hasn't it also...

Here's something that I picked up at the fish store yesterday. They had it floating but the guy who worked there told me I could put it in the ground. If anyone knows what it is that would be great Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Siamese algae eater has a pretty big cut on his back right behind his head. I'm pretty sure this happened because of the gourami that is in the tank with him. I think that the SAE could have scratched against the driftwood when they were chasing each other around. I'm worried about him he has...

I have a ten gallon aquarium and I have never done much with it. Right now there are no fish in it but there are about a million snails and a couple pieces of dw. I think it would be cool to try using fish and plants that are normally in nano aquariums because it would make the space feel a lot...

I have two Siamese algae eaters and one of them is way larger than the other. One is probably 4 inches and is pretty thick and the other is only about 2 inches and is really thin and tiny. I got them both more than a year ago only a week or two apart. I feed them sinking algae pellets and...

I have a ten gallon tank that I can basically do anything with right now. I currently have a black phantom tetra and a red minor tetra in it. I can move them to my other tank If I were to stock it with something else. The lighting is 15 watts and the substrate is fine sand but there is gravel...

One of the first fish I got (about 3 years ago) was a pair of black phantom tetras. I lost one a little while ago. On Monday, I went to the store to get him a friend since I know they like to be in schools or pairs with similar species. I bought a little tetra ( blanking out on the name right...

Platy recently got rid of parasite (small white worms) I am guessing this because the injuries on his body have healed. A couple weeks ago he was lying on the bottom of the tank for days. I was positive that I would loose him. But he was slowly becoming more active. Now I have a new problem. He...

I have been trying to get rid of worms in my tank for a long time. I treated my tank with lifeguard a couple weeks ago however the fish that I have been concerned about (red wag Platy) hasn't been showing any improvement. For the past couple weeks he has been acting normally but there are open...

One of my fish died yesterday and I wasn't sure why. I took it out and left it in the net in my bucket of supplies overnight because it was late at night and I planned on dealing with it in the morning. Today when I took it out there were worms crawling all over it >.< a problem that I thought...

I've been wanting to switch my 20 gallon to live plants for a while but I'm not sure how I want it to look. I have plants in my other tank but I don't have that Mach experience with them. I have a price of driftwood and idk if I should leave it or not. Any opinions would be helpful. What plants...

I have a 20 gallon ( neon tetras, Siamese algae eaters, platy, electric green glolight tetras) I am planning to switch it from fake to real plants. I am interested in grasses for the back. I also want to get something to attach to the driftwood and I'm not really sure what else. I don't have...

I noticed these really small white things on the side of the glass a couple days ago they move around kind of like slugs. Haven't added anything recently so I'm not really sure where that could have come from. They look like parasites though and today I noticed that one of my black phantom...

Just started fish keeping about two years ago so there's still a lot of stuff that I don't know I have two freshwater tanks a ten ( live plants, red wag Platy, and two black phantom tetras and about a million snails) and a 20 gallon ( Mickey Mouse Platy, couple neon Tara's, two Siamese algae...
