No, as far as my husband and I can tell they look normal. You just don't see them swimming around unless food is out.

I haven't noticed any sunken bellies but they are definitely listless. They basically stay hidden during the day and only come out when I feed them. No fuzziness. They do eat though.

Hello We have a 55 gallon community tank which has been set up since July. Over the last couple of months our fish have been slowly dying off and I don't understand why. I do a partial water change once a week and vacuum the gravel. I'm new to keeping fish so I don't know what signs I should be...

I was asked in my intro thread to post some pictures so here we go: My daughters 20 gallon guppy tank - not fully stocked yet but I think it's pretty. We got the tank, decor, substrate and stand on Craigslist. It was wood with wood panelling that I painted out white to match get room. I'm...

Hi all, We recently had some unexpected guppy fry a couple of days ago and I'm wondering if the food our lfs suggested is recommended by the pros here and if not - what should I get that's easy to find? We bought Hikari tropical specialty fish food - first bites. Are we on the right track? I...

So tonight we noticed my daughters guppies are much happier in their new space and therefore more frisky and harassing the poor ladies (two pairs). After learning a great deal here about guppies and knowing we need to have a better ratio of females to males we headed out and find some cute...

No definitely not a perfect story. A very long story which includes falling for a puppy after visiting multiple pet stores (lol), mad dash for a larger tank as we overcrowded my daughters first tank (a Walmart special), ich outbreak and yet another tank for treating them, and my 3 year old...

This is good advice! Much cheaper and there are a ton of aquariums to choose from in my area at least. It will likely mean some elbow grease to clean it up but to get your 50 gallon it would be a much better deal! Good luck!!

Hi all, I'm new to keeping fish and have been reading these forums for a few weeks now trying to figure out what we were doing wrong and what the real truth is to keeping aquariums! After so much conflicting advice from several lfs, and our fish dying, I was about to give up. I found this...
