Bad news... He has passed. Thank you guys for answering so quickly and I appreciate you trying to help.

I would have liked to upgrade the size but I have limited house space. The next best thing I could do is put him in my 200g plastic tub pond outdoors in spring. I'm just worried predators may get to him.

Dang, I wanted it to be something I could cure. I guess ill just try to keep him comfortable the best I can.

Barbs tend to be aggressive in general. As long as the injuries are not inhibiting normal fish behavior it might turn out okay.

Since starting my first tank, I've learned some things. You may know them already. Check water parameters once a week. You can easily buy test strips. Clean tank/do water changes once every month. Only change about 25% of the water and use a gravel hose to get most of the gunk out. Keep an...

Hello, I've had this bluegill 2014 but he was at a high school so I'm guessing he is already very old. He was born in captivity so I can't release him. I've done research and a lot of sites say fish don't die of old age. They die of diseases they get because they become more susceptible...

Good news! I gave one of the bluegills to a friend of mine and kept one. I have gotten a 90 gallon for him and his colors have gotten so much brighter! Definitely happier than before!

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...

I'm so sorry. I am still sorta new to this thing. I have moved the goldfish out into a 20 gallon bin with filter and he is doing well and healing. I was worried about the baby koi because of how small they were but I found some mesh netting and I set up a small enclosure in my pond. I do have...

Hi all. I got some koi fry from my uncle who has a pond full of koi. We only found three at the time. I have them in a ten gallon with a breeder net separating then from the larger fish. It also has a heater. Is there anything I need to know to take care of the fry or are they like other fry...

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...

Ok thanks guys
