    Fin rot and Ich? What does my Angelfish have?

    My angelfish had a weird white thing on it's left eye, and there are holes in his fin, and some of it is rotting. I think the rotting is getting worse, and it is acting a bit lethargic. I added some cure-ick, and the white spot seems to be subsiding, but there's like a little shadow of what is...

    Angelfish has big lips

    Self explanatory, my angelfish's lips are really really big for some reason It's been like this for a while, but he isn't really showing any weird symptoms and is eating/acting normal. I just did a huge algae clean out of my tank yesterday by the way. Temp: 84 (it's a little hot so i...

    My fish has swim bladder disease! What do I do?

    I'm almost 100% sure she has it. She has trouble swimming up, and always faces down if not vertically to the ground. She also has a hard time trying to swim away: it was very easy to catch her in a net b/c she could not swim well. Two days ago, her skin looked as if some of it got scraped off...

    What is an ideal tank size for an Angelfish?

    Just wondering b.c people keep telling me that my angelfish will outgrow my tiny, I now realize, 10 gallon tank Would it be too extreme to transfer my fish to another tank if I did have a bigger one? Or would it be just the same as acclimating fish from the pet store. (after cycling the tank...

    Is it really worth it?

    I was just thinking. Is it worth it to go out and buy an Master Test Kit for Freshwater? Like for example If I find out that the pH of the water is too high or something, wouldn't I have to go out and buy the solution that makes it lower? If I keep finding things that are wrong with the tank...

    My fish keep attacking each other!

    There isn't one fish in my tank that isn't involved in some sort of attacking conflict. Especially the Platty and the two serpa tetra I have... I have one male and female platy.

    Yesterday night I was looking at him and I noticed that he was a bit slowish. His tail fin wasn't looking too good either b/c it looked much smaller than it should've been. And then the next morning I found it floating at the top of my tank, black colored in the places where there used to be...
