If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Obviously if your breeding and stuff, that's another story, but in my experience I've never used heat for my Betta and they've done fine. I'll leave the rest up to the experts, but water changes should be done all the time, not just when you fish sit.

I've looked at some pictures of dropsy and it appears that it bloats the whole fish. With mine, it's concentrated towards the bottom. Although it doesn't sharply bulge like the other picture. It looks puffy.

And I learn something else.... I'll try and snap a picture when she's laying in the Java Fern. I'm assuming she, I don't know. Should this really be the case, I'm sure it's been discussed here before. Any thing I should have ready? This is the first time anything like this has happened in my...

I got an Albino Bristle nose a couple of months ago. I didn't know they could be that aggressive. They can solve your algae problem though!

It's the one to the right. I'll try and get a picture when she is in the Java fern. Is there a way to determine the sex?

One of my Black Skirt Tetras has become swollen on both the left and right side towards the bottom. Ever since that, it's been hanging out alot in my Java Fern up against the glass. While in the Java Fern, it's at an odd angle. Is she pregnant? Or is it something else? I've Googled this...

Yeah, but he's on his side most of the time now swimming in endless circles on the bottom of the tank. He's giving it all his might but isn't really getting somewhere. His energy seems to be coming back and but he can't seem to keep himself upright. I've also noticed that he's becoming more...

He's still alive. He rolls over to his side sometimes, I thought he was dead at first and reached him to remove him and he started moving again. This is so agonizing!:puppydogeyes:

http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AcNWbRmzZtWTjg For starters, I'm wondering if anybody can identify this Cory for me. A few days ago, I purchased him and fell in love with him. He was very active and just loved exploring. Not more then 24 hours putting him in there, I no...

By the way the temp. is 74 degrees :morning:

I've moved a 20 Gallon Planted Twice. I would recommend you follow workfortheman's advice. Also go to K-Mart and get one of those Strafoam coolers to keep your fish in. It helps keep the temperature steady and keep an air hose thing in it. I usually take some empty gallon jugs and fill about...

I read that article you posted, very interesting. I actaully re read it about 4 times. I took a few measurements. I tested my Nitrate/Nitrites with the Juncle Test Strips which were really hard to read since for Nitrate the options were 0 ppm or 20 ppm. I guessed it to be 5 ppm - 10 ppm, but...
