So I just purchased a 5.5 gallon tank for a betta and I am currently looking for what filter would be best for this. The tank does come with a filter but it's top fin and I have had bad experience with their filters and I've seen they produce too much flow for a betta. I am looking into the...

Ok, thank you so much :)

Thank you for the reply. Do you believe the gravel is the cause behind the white stool? I am just hesitant to conclude it's parasites because I don't want to falsely medicate. I personally don't think it is, but a majority of people I have talked to think so. But none of them actually thought he...

So I have been having a problem with my comet goldfish. He has been excreting very odd stool. It's pretty much different every time. Sometimes it's pretty normal, other times it's white and stringy, sometimes it's a mix of both. But there has been one thing in common in all the stools, there is...

Hi everyone. I have a 20 gallon tank with one common goldfish (planning on moving him to a 50 gallon) and 2 nerite snails. When you bend down and look closely, you can see a bit of what appears to be an excessive slime coat on and around his dorsal fin. It is not at all very noticeable if you do...

Ok I will check it out. Thank you so much

ok edit I have decided not to go with aqua pro cure and I am leaning toward rid ich plus

Hello everyone. I have a common goldfish that is about 3 inches in a 20 gallon that I am planning on moving to a 50 gallon in about a month or so. I noticed a tiny bit of excessive slime coat on him and when I did a bit of research, he shared the other symptoms of Chilodonella. He seems to be in...

Good news! I have brought up this problem with my mother, yet again, and she said if I save up for a tank I can get it. My dad will take convincing but I'll work something out. I am planing on going with a 50 gallon so now it's just up to tank suggestions. I think I'll go with topfin because it...

Thank you

Thank you for this reply and really understanding how much I freaking love this fish. I could look for a tank for cheap but another issue is my parents. I am a teenager so I can't just do willy nilly and my parents were not very happy with even a 20 gallon. I will see what I can work out.

Ok thank you. I didn't receive this fish with my own discretion so this was all I could do. For now I will crank up the water changes and get more plants for him to be comfortable. I'll try to find someone with a bigger tank but it may not happen for a while. I only want the best for this fish.

Hi everybody. The question I am asking is to ease a bit of worry that I have been experiencing. I have 1 common goldfish in a 20 gallon tank. Water parameters always look good, heavy filtration, and weekly water changes. So far so good. I haven't had any problems with my fish. What worries me is...

Alright. Thank you so much!

It has a defined roundness and isn't flat.

This is the best picture I could get. It's the white dot on his side that has me concerned. As far as parameters go, I haven't been able to check them but last time I did they were fine.

My goldfish is in a 20 gallon tank. This spot is only one, but I worry it will blossom into more spots. Right now I haven't been able to check my parameters, but I know ammonia levels aren't high. I did miss a week of water change due to being out of town.

Lately I have noticed that my goldfish has two little white spots on his body that sort of resemble ick. He had a spot like this on his fin that lasted around two months, but it went away with ease. Where these two know spots are it kind of looks like he lost some scales. The spots aren't very...

Alright I'll crank up the water changes and see what's good. Thank you for the advice

I'm pretty sure it's not find rot. He doesn't have any black areas and never did. The tank is 20 gallons with 2 nerite snails and him. I've had this tank for almost a year so if it happens to be ick I don't know how it could've gotten there. I've seen good reviews for tetra ick guard though. If...

Yeah that's what I was thinking because his fins grow very nicely. One of them was on the bottom edge of the fin and not the tip so I was considering maybe he nicked his fins and it was growing back. It's just a bit unsettling because this is my first tank and I'm not sure how well I would do...

So I noticed my goldfish has 3 tiny white spots on his fins. I am a bit conflicted because I am not sure about treating him. The spots have been there for about a month and they havent grown or spread and are only at the ends of his fins. Also he doesn't show any other symptoms of ich. He has an...

I started my fish tank about 6 months ago. I have had fish previously in the tank and they were diagnosed with dropsy. Since then I have deep cleaned the tank and put a new filter cartridge and bio media. About 5 months ago I purchased 2 platys 2 mollies and 2 gouramis. One of the mollies got...

I'm not sure if I put this in the right forum, but oh well. I have a 20 gallon tank with a goldfish and 2 nerite snails. I had algae growing on the glass when I noticed it started to turn a reddish purple. Is it because it's dead? And can my snails eat it?

He seems to be eating fine be he is still frantic when he sees me so I think I'm gonna have to give him more time. I just don't want him to end up actually choking and me not being able to do anything ?
