i have 1 black neon tetra (i know they need to be in a school but the rest died ages ago). anyway this one i have is around 9 years old.

ok so my 10 gallon tank is full of pond snails the tank has 3 amano shrimp, 5 orange shrimp and about 5 baby shrimp. i used to have assassin snails in the tank and they pretty much got rid of the snails but they also killed alot of my shrimp

so i have a male swordtail who is looking really skinny. he seems to be getting pickes on because when i try feeding him with the other fish they chase him away from the food. how can i get any food into him if the other fish chase him away

ok so i have 2 nerite snails in my 10 gallon tank. ive seen them breeding and one of them has been laying eggs everywhere. ive tried getting rid of them but there just too many

ok so i bought a marina 300 air pump for my 55 gallon tank. when it first starts up its relatively quiet, but after maybe 30 seconds it starts making a sort of grinding noise (im not sure how to describe the noise). ive tried putting it onto of a thick blanket to see if that helps, but its...

so i have a baby platy in my 10 gallon with my shrimp (ghost shrimp, red cherry shrimp and a few bumblebee shrimp) the platy is maybe half an inch. it doesnt bother the shrimp, but will it try to eat them when it gets bigger

ok i dont know if they are are sick or not. but basically all of my fish in my 30 gallon are hanging out near the bottom of the tank, and they are hardly moving. they are like staying in one spot. they only seem to move when i go over to the tank and they think they are being fed. its the...

Ok so i have a nerite snail that ive had for 5 years. Ive noticed recently that it has quite a big crack on the top of its shell. It looks white where the crack is. Is there something i can do to fix it.

So i found 2 of my cherry shrimp dead this morning and i noticed both of them had a crack across their back. Whats going on with them. I started off with around 12 and ive only got about 6 left that i can see. I dont want to lose anymore as ive already spent loads of money on them

So i have a 10 gallon planted tank with around 8 RCS (it was 12 but i can only count 8), 4 amano shrimp, 1 nerite snail and 3 neon tetras. Now i dont think the tetras are scaring the shrimp. Its mainly the RCS that hide alot. But ive sometimes seen them out foraging for food and they are never...

It was labeled as a ghost shrimp when i bought it (think ive had it maybe 6 months or so). But it look nothing like the photos of ghost shrimp ive seen online. I have 3 other shrimp which are ghost shrimp. But im not sure about this guy Its nearly double the size of my real ghost shrimp and is...

Im really worried about my betta and i dont know whats wrong with him. Over the past few days ive noticed he has been lying on the bottom of the tank. He will swim to the top of the tank for some air, then goes back down to the bottom. Ive only had him for about a month. He lives in a planted...

So I I've had plants in my 30 gallon for about a year. I don't like the way it looks anymore with all the grass type plants all over the front. They have basically grown so much I can hardly see my fish. Well I decided to pull out all the grass and when I did it basically churned up all the...

So I got a new betta fish today which I bought online. He is swimming around a little bit, but for the most part he either lies on the bottom of the tank or he is at the surface. When he is at the top he is basically lying vertical with his head pointed to the surface Is this swim bladder or...

So one of my endler guppies is missing most of its tail. I need to know who did it. It is in a 10 gallon with another endler, 5 ghost shrimp and 5 neon tetras. I'm getting a betta today which is going in the 10 gallon and I need to know which fish or shrimp ate the guppies tail incase they so...

I was getting some female dwarf rainbow fish and ended up with 2 male endler guppies in the bag as well. I've put them in my 10 gallon, but I'm getting a male betta tomorrow that I bought online. Will they be OK together. I'd put them in my 30 gallon but I'd be worried about my angelfish eating them

I just found my most recent one dead. I'd only had him from July last year. The longest I've had one was 2 years. My last one was in a 10 gallon with 5 neon tetras, a ghost shrimp and 4 baby bristlenose plecos.

My bristlenose plecos had babies. I have 9 that are roughly 2-3 months old and are about 1/2" in size. I had them all in a breeder trap but decided to try 4 of them in my 10 gallon. It's easier to keep an eye on them and I don't have to worry about anything trying to eat them, as I only have a...

I have a male bristlenose and I decided to put the baby plecos in a breeder trap. I know he will look after them but it's alot easier for me to keep them in one place. I have a heavily planted tank and it's nearly impossible to catch nearly 100 baby plecos. Well I don't like using nets to catch...

Ok so I've just found at least another 80-90 newly hatched baby bristlenose pleco. I don't know what to do with them all. I also have at least 9 (from what I've seen) babies that are at least 2 months old. I only have homes for 2 of them.

I've had my red tailed shark just over 2 years (it was full grown when I bought it). Ever since I've had it whenever I put my hand in the tank it would stay far away or it would hide. Now whenever I put my hand in, it swims straight over and starts nibbling on my fingers and it will even let me...

So I had a pleasant surprise yesterday (Christmas day) when I discovered 4 baby BN plecos. I've since found another 4 and was wondering how fast will they grow. I don't know how long they've been there. But from a video I watched of someone else's I think they might be around 2-3 weeks old...

Not sure if this is the right category. Basically I bought 9 neon tetras on Wednesday and since then 2 have died. They weren't showing any signs of illness when they were in the tank and they all ate straight away. Now I haven't lost anymore since Friday, but I want to know if there is...

I know it's normal for them to sometimes lie on their sides, but one of mine has been lying on its side since yesterday. I checked on it this morning and it's still alive but it's in the same place as it was yesterday. I'm worried that there might be something wrong with it

I've had this tank in my 30 gallon for years and it's just recently started to flower. Why has it suddenly started flowering now.
