It is with a sad heart that I am saying that our Female Betta, Miss Betta, has passed on to the big fish pond in the sky. She was clinging to life for about the last 5-7 days. She passed last night. I just finished burying her. She was in a 5g Fluval Spec... very nice tank. We want to move...

Our Female betta, for the last 5 days or so, has been doing very poorly. She is getting worse. The last few days she has just been laying on her side, barely breathing.... I hate that she's been suffering so long. We want to do something for her of course, but are not sure what. Any...

Our beautiful male guppy, Gupp Gupp, is laying down on the sand in our 20g community tank and panting kinda hard. He gets up once in a while to swim a little but is mostly hanging out on the bottom and panting. I thought he looked a little fat the last few days. I have no idea what could...

Hello everyone. One of our little pygmies is not doing so well. Last night I noticed that he has a reddishness in his belly. Today I confirmed that and his breathing is labored as well. :( They've been doing well for such a long time now after I treated them with the general cure...

Yesterday we noticed our last habrosus catfish acting odd (we have had him just under 2 months). He was swimming up to get a breath, but then would kind of "fall", floating down on his side, wiggling his tail. He did this over and over. We decided to take him out of the tank (20g...

What do you all think of this product? https://www.backtotheroots.com/shop/watergarden https://www.backtotheroots.com/faq/aquafarm/QA A girl I know posted that she has one and is going to get a fish. I am urging her to at least get an ammonia kit to test it and explain that the water will...

Been thinking about "do fish sleep" a lot lately. They definitely do, at least most fish! Last night hubby went to check on Mr. Blue betta and his two new shrimpy friends, and Blue had stuffed himself into the java moss and was sound asleep, and the shrimp were racing around like crazy shrimp...

At our lfs. IT'S HUGE. Either a large male plakat or a large female betta. One of the LFS guys had said it was a wild betta but I/we/he don't/didn't know if it was caught from the wild or what. He's in a 20g planted tank with a few neons and maybe some shrimp. He had jumped out of his little...

So our female betta, the one we have in the 5g fluval spec, is probably eating flies on the side. Hubby saw some flies hanging out underneath the cover and we think she is eating them because, the flies are gone she looks bloated despite not being overfed. A while ago she ate an ant...

Our newest finned female betta friend is not doing so well. For the past few days she has been acting mopey and bleh and not herself :( Yesterday we tested her water and it was at about .25 ppm ammonia :( she got nearly a full water change. Unfortunately I am not as good at matching...

I found this article last year and came across it again today when I was looking through some things that I'd read. This Surprising New Finding Will Make You Think Twice Before Putting Fish on Your Plate

I hope this is the right spot! We have this tank for a small female betta: Amazon.com : Deep Blue Professional ADB11006 Glass Standard 5-Way Betta Aquarium Tank Kit, 2.3-Gallon : Aquarium Starter Kits : Pet Supplies (it actually holds 2.5g when you don't use those dividers, which we do NOT...

Last night we adopted a small female betta. She's beautiful. Purply colors and mostly whiteish fins. She's in a 2.5 g Deep Blue tank that is made for 5 Bettas (shiver). No heater yet as the one we got wasn't fully submersible like we thought it was, but the water temp is holding steady...

Hubby and I are getting frustrated at the amount of fish we have lost since we started fishkeeping last year in June. First fish we lost from dropsy, our beloved male betta, after having him just 4 months. Since then, we've lost about 5-8 pygmy catfish 2 panda cories (they dropped dead for no...

We now have one habrosus fish. One died this morning or last night while we were sleeping. How did I find out that one had died? I found one of our amano shrimp eating him. Must've been a nice meal for him :/ I shooed the shrimp away with the net and then I scooped out what was left of...

Miss Betta has a new home! We bought her a 5g Fluval Spec to replace her Fluval Chi. We wanted more horizontal swimming space for her. She is enjoying it so far, and we also bought a log for her to play in (she's already used it a lot!) in addition to her viking helmet that she also likes...

About a week and a few days ago, two of our six Amano shrimp gorged themselves on the piece of cucumber we put into the tank with a skewer. We took it out as soon as we realized they were looking bloated. We like to feed our critters veggies but... we are afraid of our shrimp doing this again...

Has anyone had a king betta before?? We're thinking about maybe getting one.

We just adopted a beautiful blue mail crowntail betta from our LFS. He's living in our 10g tank. He's so happy and exploring everywhere :) Now we have 4 tanks to maintain :fish2::blink: :ermm::blink::huh::fish1: 3 betta tanks; the guy we just got in the 10g tank, a red male betta in a 5g...

A few weeks ago we found some tiny wiggling things in the surface of our water in our 20g tank. I caught one and put it in the trash. They're hard to see and move fast. Today we also saw one in our 10g tank that we just put a male crowntail betta in. Does anyone have any idea what...

:) <3 Owner Invents Fish Wheelchair To Save Goldfish

We just got 3 new Habrosus pygmy cories and 1 pygmaeus pygmy cory (he would have been the only catfish in there and I didn't wan to leave him alone). About 2.5 weeks ago, we treated the tank with General Cure due to suspected colminarus and/or parasites for our pygmy (pygmaeus) cory cats (we...

Since we have started keeping fish mid last year, we have run into a perplexing issue. In September, we got 5 pymgy catfish, and then got 2 more. Currently we have 7, but one is dying from whatever it is that is hurting him that I am going to write about below. We have lost about 5-7 pygmys...

About a month and a half ago, we moved everything and everyone over from our 10g tank to our 20g tank. Filter, sand, décor, fish and 25% of the water. Well, 2 weeks ago we bought a new filter. We had an aquatech 10-20 filter and an aqueon quiet flow 10 on the 10g then they were moved to...
