Hi guys. I want to possibly re-home my two male platies and 7 month old female fancy guppy. I have 5 corydrayas I want to keep. I have a 20 gallon tank. What should I restock with? Or should I just add some different fish here? It's such a lonely looking tank right now. I don't know what to do...

I have a female guppy with what looks like a bruise. I don't know my water parameters as of right now. I did a water change last week, 75%. I have 5 corydrayas, 2 female fancy guppies, and 2 male plates. I have a picture of her and I just noticed this this morning. Has anyone ever seen this before?.

I have a huge diatom issue. Absolutely cannot get rid of them with scrubbing and frequent water changes. SO, I am looking in to shrimp. I've wanted shrimp for a long time since I lost my snail, Gary. I just cannot bring myself to get another snail, at least not yet. So I'm looking in to the...

Something is wrong with my guppy. She is arched over sometimes. Looks like she has scoliosis. Her tail bone is crooked. And she has changed texture, size, and color. She has gotten much smaller, she is pale, and looks rough rather than smoothe. Any tips?

Hi guys. I have a quite established 20G aquarium. But I would like to add more fish when I have planted it. Let me run this by you. I have: 2 male platies 3 female fancy guppies 5 cories After plant establishment, I would like to add: 1 male Platy (maybe!) 6 male endler's live-bearers 6 ghost...

Hi! Below is my tank. I want to add more guppies. I have a 20 gal that holds about 18 with gravel. I have 5 cories and 3 female guppies. Looking to add more. I want to do live plants in my tank. What do you suggest? I want some grassy plants at the bottom and maybe a few that come up to the top...

This might not be the right forum, but you guys may know. I have a fancy guppy female that is 1 month old. Is it safe to add adult male guppies in with her and the other 2 adult females? Will the male's try to breed with her when she isn't an adult yet? I plan on adding 1-2 more females and 3...

Hi everyone, I have 3 female fancy guppies in my 20 gal currently. It holds about 18 gals. I have the guppies and 5 cories. I am thinking about adding 3 males and 2 more female. Is that a good ratio? 3M:5F? I don't think my tank will be overstocked. I do regularly weekly PWC and thorough gravel...

I know you're going to tell me that liquid is more accurate. But I have done strips side by side to liquid and came up with the same results time and time again. With that being said, what are the best test strips with the most quantity for the best price available? I want a bottle just loaded...

My adult female fancy guppies.

I have a group of names picked. My fry is named Juniper. (Also, how old should fry be before you add adult males? Juniper is a baby female.) I have these options for the adult ladies: -Thelma -Ethel -Louise -Lucy Any other name suggestions are welcomed.

My understanding is that constipation in fish is when the poop comes out slow or they have a string of poop coming out of them. I don't know what is making my fish always constipated. They always have poop strings. Even my little fry, Juniper. Any suggestions? They have good pellet food...

She is growing quite fast. :) I think she's 1 or 2 weeks old. How long until they can eat full pellets? I have the small ones. Oh and she is a fancy guppy.

I am doing unsure what happened. I acquired new fish about 2 weeks ago. This fish here is an older fish. It looks like he is bleeding. Maybe he got in a fight? Maybe he is ill? After removing a dead fish this afternoon, I noticed this fish (Bono) looking like he was having a seizure. As of now...

Gary has been laying in one spot of the tank for two weeks. Yesterday and today he looks like this. When I netted him and put him in a hospital tank, his body went completely in the shell. A friend said that if he goes in, he is alive. I don't know if that is true. But he looks dead. He doesn't...

I just found this fry. How do I care for it in the main tank? I have a hospital but it's not set up.

Is this fish pregnant or just consitpated? They got cleared out during their fast on Sunday. But now their poop is coming out slow again. This one has gotten fat, so I'm thinking she may be pregnant.

I have a 20 gal tank and have acquired a few new big poopers. It it too much to do a 25% PWC on Sunday and a 25% PWC on Wednesday with gravel vac? Will that change the parameters too much? Should it be a 50% once a week? I got so much waste out of my tank yesterday and the new fish had only been...

Hi guys. I just acquired new sunrise guppies. I now have total: 2 females and 2 males. They look a bit young to me right now. But so adorable! I have an older guppie, he's the most colorful one. So, I ended up with 5 pinches of small floating pellets and they gobbled it ALL down in about a...

If you have an infection in your tank, and you treat it, how do you know it is gone? I had fin rot in my tank. Did an antibiotic, fish still got worse, then I have been adding salt and it doesn't seem that my fish is getting worse. His tail is still looking beat up but not like he is getting...

So I rinsed my filters pretty well and they still look like this. They had black spots on them. I know my tank was dirty and I am using antibiotics to clear up a bacterial infection. Do I need to get clean and new filter cartridges? I haven't gotten help changing the water so here we are. I have...

I am doing water changes and antibiotics. I have a 20 gal tank. Should I be doing a 25 or 50% pwc each week? My poor Sunny has fin rot. My tank was really dirty and I feel awful about it. We didn't get a stand for the tank when I moved it to my room. So, the dresser it is on is too high and i...

I have a fish with fin rot. What do you recommend for oral meds? Thanks.
