my platy has always been super active, but for the past week and a half hes been hiding behind a moss ball with clamped fins and ive only really seen him swimming around when its time to eat or if its right before i turn the light off. Ive noticed his color isnt as vibrant and im getting really...

in the near future i am planning on getting 5 or 6 galaxy rasboras, the thing is i personally do not like how the females look compared to the beautiful males. i know the best ratio is 1:3 but im wondering if an all male or all male and one female tank would be okay? i dont know if it would...

ive had a guppy in quarantine for a week now and i was planning on putting him in my main tank next sunday if hes still looking good. my question is that im getting 3 pygmy corys tomorrow and im wondering if i restart his time in the QT because im adding new fish, or if i should just remove him...

ive decided to just use a plastic tub as a quarantine tank but its quite old and dirty, ive been rinsing and rinsing but the water still seems kind of murky, what should i do?

okay thank you

if i were to invest in a tank, do i need to get a filter? i know its ideal, but i cant afford to buy a filter right now. could i get by with just daily water changes?

if i were to use a tub i have as a qt, can i get by just changing the water every day instead of having to buy a filter? i really dont have the money

thank you so much for all your help, i really appreciate it

okay ill definitely look into it, thank you

i have had them for about 2 months, i started off with 5 and i now have 3. one disappeared and the other died, he wasnt opaque until after he died though.

the thing about the totes is that i cant see the fish to see if he is developing finrot, because theyre all opaque, so im not sure if i would want to do that. also im going to be changing the water every day to avoid ammonia buildup.

and i treat my water with Prime

i dont have a good filter, topfin 10 power filter, but my water stays clean and clear so im assuming its working well. i perform at least 2 water changes a week, sometimes every day because my platy has a little finrot from when i got him at the store and it goes away and then comes back. i dont...
