Just found some small holes in his fin and he has another small hole in his actual body. He is in a tank with just guppies, shrimp, and snails, so I don’t think anything is attacking him. I did just lose a couple of guppies out of that tank last week, but I thought it was just stress? They...

So I went out and bought some snails... and some new plants. (I really have no will power with plants) I go to put my plants and snail is and I find this little guy I think he is a MTS, but since I’ve only seen them online I’m not 100% sure. I didn’t buy him. He must’ve road in on on of my...

TL:DR - thinking about snails for my gravel tanks, what’s your experience? I have 2 20gallon tanks, one a hex and one a 20tall. Just started cycling another 20tall with a waterfall I built inside.... and a friend just gave me a 20long for my birthday. Soooooo many tanks! All the tanks have that...

I was considering building a filtered waterfall in my tank to help cool off the tank during the hot summer we have coming. I have some water pumps in storage somewhere and I was wondering if there is such a thing as too much power? Everything I’ve read online speaks more to not getting an...

I live in the Bay Area of CA with my 2 20 gal tanks (and slowly gathering equipment for my third). Spring is finally here and I got my windows open and then I have a panic attack realizing summer is coming. Our house doesn’t have air conditioning so it can get in the 90Fs or higher inside...

Confirmed velvet disease in my balloon molly tank. Brought it in from LFS on my male. Didn’t notice till it was too late and now I’ve lost the male and my Dalmatian molly. The queen of my tank looks like she’s infected too... I’ve got light off, heat up, medication in, and depression soaking.

Two days ago I added a male sailfin balloon molly to my 20 gal tall tank. I’ve had the tank set up for 2 months with 3 female ballon mollies and it has two, two week old molly fry in a breeder net. The male (Jefferson) was behaving strangely today. Shimmying and staying in the outflow of the...

I’ve got two 20 gal tanks (one standard high and one hexagonal) with basic low light/low maintenance plants : Java ferns, Anubias, wisteria, an ozelot sword, and some compacta One tank is stocked with 7 guppies and shrimp and the other has 3 adult and two baby ballon mollies and shrimp. When...

I bought a new plant and when I googled the name on the container, it’s obvious that isn’t what I bought. I don’t want to put it in my tank if I don’t know it’s care needs. I’m hoping someone here can give me some kind of idea. Thanks for your help!

I have two gouramis and three ballon mollies. The red dwarf just hides in the bottom of the tank and the blue one is a bully and chases my mollies around the tank all day. They’re both male. Is the opposite personalities normal with these fish? (I didn’t buy them they were a gift from a friend.)

One of my guppies has gotten seriously chubby. I have a mix of males and females but I only got them a couple weeks ago. If she is preggo is there anything I should do? Edit* could it also be why she’s been destroying the plants in my tank?

I recently added 5 guppies to my planted tank and they have started shredding my Utricularia Graminifolia. They’re not eating it. I’m constantly scooping shreds of it from the water and cleaning it off their filter. The guppies are ignoring the other plants I have in there. I’ve googled all day...
