I am concerned about his labored breathing.. Before, I told you that I think he had a parasite because I found him without scales, well I did the tank buddy parasite and it didn't work.. I read a little about chilondella and he shows those symptoms.. The sad thing is I don't know how long he has...

I put him back in his tank this morning and he seems better.. A spot still isn't healed up yet so I am going to just let the clean water hopefully heal him.. He is swimming around more and he is swimming like he has swimbladder disease, so I am going to stop feeding him for a day or 2 and see if...

I cleaned out the tank because my husband didn't change the water for nine days.. I might didn't need to cycle but I needed to clean his tank out.. I just don't want him to die.. I read a little bit about swim bladder disease and he does seem like he has symptoms of that too because he looks...

I left my fish with my hubby and he didn't change his water for about nine days.. He started having spasms so I put him in his bowl to heal him.. He is doing better and I change his water every day, but I cannot get a spot to heal.. He was missing scales when I came back.. i treated him with...

I have a five gallon aquarium and my male betta lives in it.. First off, I only put like 2.5 to 3gallons of water in it.. I do not have a filter and I change his water every 4 days.. Is a 4 day water change too soon, do I need to wait more like a week? My second question is I cannot get his...

I've always loved aquariums and I think the fish are soothing to watch.. It is proven that watching fish reduces stress and anxiety! I only had like 2 or 3 aquariums in my life time, but now since I have this awesome site I can continue.. I have a five gallon with a betta in it right now and I...
