Just giving my two cents, but your ph was a little alkaline for a betta, and your nitrates at 40ppm is also pretty high. Ideally you want them at like 10ppm at the most, and Bettas actually like slightly acidic water. If you mean the tail was gone as in frayed or rotted away, then I'd imagine...

Rummy nose tetra should ideally have a bright red head. When they start to lose their color, that's how many fish keepers know something is wrong in their water quality. They are a very sensitive fish and not very hardy. That being said, your ph is very high for rummy nose tetra. They like...

Please people I'm needing some help here. I have no clue what's wrong with my fish. 20g fw tank about 2 years old, lightly planted for 4 months. Had 10 black phantom tetra, 1 black neon tetra, 4 panda cories, 1 julii Cory. 1 bp tetra died this morning. 7 days ago thought I was seeing ich...

I avoided getting new fish for almost 2 years for fear of Ich and *surprise surprise* got it again anyway. :banghead: I've kept fish for like 15 years so I have dealt with Ich before... First time around in my smaller tank I tried salt and some herbal remedy, which sucked and took like 2 months...

Thank you! Nobody has mentioned this to me... I was wondering what that funny thing on the Anubias was, didn't notice it on the Java though. :/ I do have wood I've been soaking for a few weeks I can tie it to, but it's not entirely ready yet. Should I just let the plants float or something...

Hey guys, figured I would finally post on this site after years of referring to it... I have a black phantom tetra with an unusually red coloration. No, not as in she's a female, which she is, but her face looks unusually redder than normal. I'm worried she's sick or has a parasite or her blood...
