Hello, love the dwarf gouramis, especially the sparkling gourami. At the moment I have 3 almost full grown angels with 5 sparkling gouramis in a 29 extremely heavily planted,(not a square inch without plants) and they get along perfectly. The gouramis had been in the tank for few months...
Hello,
Sexing angels is extremely difficult to be %100 accurate. Some males can develop a larger forehead bump, and females a little flatter from mouth to dorsal fin. This isn’t a certain way though. In the past the faster growing aggressive angels, in the tanks I have, turned to be male but...
I’d say if it’s acting fine and eating ok, just take note on the size and shape of the spot, those pictures will help. Observe over next couple days to a week and see if there are any changes.
I think your Molly is ok!
Hello,
This is the brown spot that you are worried about?
Is it protruding out at all?
Can you tell if it is a single discolored scale or missing scale?
Could just be part of its color and maybe took a couple days to color up. Also looks like it is swimming around ok with no clamped fins...
Hello, I believe that is a scud. They can be found in healthy ecosystems, but anytime I’ve seen them in an aquarium they are very hard to get rid of. They will eat everything that your shrimp would eat eventually out competing. They also go a step further and will eat the living plant leaves and...
Hello, this is definitely a male guppy and that is definitely dropsy. I would remove the fish from the tank soon as you can, could spread to other fish. Can also try and treat him, and for future at first sight of dropsy can jump right on it. A rebound in health is unlikely but possible. Get...
They look like pineapple sponges from the hairy texture white appearance and a few have the shape in the third picture. Easier to tell up close, while still in the water.
To get rid of them don’t scrape them off they will just grow back and any chunk that may have fallen off will also grow new...
First, please don’t release any fish from your pond or tanks into lakes or rivers. Unless your lake is privately owned and not connected to waterways. Native or not they have been with petco fish that may carry diseases. And especially with this newly frequent die off, you don’t want to transfer...
My favorite is salvinia cucullata it holds together in chunks super easy to take out if needed, not an insanely fast grower, and the roots don’t extend down more than 1.5 inches which I love I’m not a fan of 6” plus roots coming down from the surface.
Had these fish for only a week, first time having rainbows. They are all about 1.5” long. I hear they take a bit to color up, do I just need to wait a little longer for them to show gender? Kinda look all like females right now.
