I think I will maybe try dosing with some sort of preventative med like perhaps Melafix to just prevent infection. It doesn’t look, I guess “3d” like a fungus, it’s flat to the body but looks a little torn up towards the front of the head like it got scratched. I’ll keep a close eye and give...

Can a fungus really pop up that fast?? That’s crazy! It legit happened overnight. I’ll go pick up either of those fungicides just Incase things take a turn!

Overnight my angelfish suddenly has this white splotch on its forehead!! I have no idea what it could be besides maybe slime cost bruising from bumping into something? Anyone got an idea???

Maybe add an angel or some gouramis? I have an angelfish in my 55 and she’s so beautiful and nice to the other fish. Angels are super interactive too! Since platies are already there you could always add more and go for almost a rainbow full of different colors of platies or swordtails! Just...

I plan to get a 38 gallon tank for my golden wonder killifish and want know how the max number I could house if the tank is heavily planted. All 3 appear to be male so if at the word of caution from others, I will potentially rehome 1 or 2 males and just get some females. Can anyone help me with...

I received 3 golden wonder killifish and I simply just need help sexing them. If they’re all males I’ll rehome 2 or just rehome the extra male and keep one. I did extensive research before I got them and I certainly believe they’re all 3 males, but wanted to be sure. They are also quite small as...

It’s okay! I’m just glad I can percent future deaths. My new angels are all doing fantastic now?

Idk if anyone cares anymore but I found the reason they died. After stirring up my substrate during a rescape, I tested my water which came back for 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrites, and even minimal nitrates (only like <30ppm and this is a heavily planted tank) so that Def didn’t kill them. However...

An Aquaclear 50 at full blast on the left side, and an air driven sponge filter on the right that has a spout facing the left so it pumps water in that direction. Has pretty decent flow for an air driven filter too. I use it for more flow and it seems to work well.

Hello, in my 20 Gallon Long planted tank i have some Bacopa caroliniana and some Hygrophilia compacta. They are planted in sand and have a few root tabs scattered among them in a few inch increments and the tank is dosed once a week with a fertilizer known as ThriveC. My light is a Nicrew Plus...

The original female I had in the tank to “test” acted in a similar way when I added the other girls. She seemed shy and hid herself behind things, almost acting the EXACT same way. After a few days she completely Opened up and she’s back to being the center of attention.. My best guess was just...

20 Long, planted pretty densely too. However there are places that could still use some plants so I will get on that ASAP. My 5 smaller females are all doing fantastic, everyone ate this morning and the aggression between them seems to be almost nonexistent! However, the larger female (possibly)...

I’m so glad I got so many people engaged! I loved reading all your replies!! So interesting how one aspect of the hobby has so many ways of doing it!

I recently re established my sorority a few days ago due to a rotten plant bulb from Petco causing a massive ammonia spike that killed my last one... after removing the bulb and seeing the Ammonia was down to 0ppm, i added a sponge filter for extra bio filtration and added a *single* female. She...

This is simply a question open to all to give their opinions about acclimating!! I would like to restock a tank of mine that has gone through a small crash (sadly) and would like to see about picking up 10 bleeding heart tetras. They would go through a whole acclimation and quarantining...

Unfortunately I got the poor little guy like that :( I’ve never had a fish in my care come down with stress related illnesses and I take that with pride! I’m going to go ahead and move the angel to the display tank :) I’m very confident it is lymphocystis and that it should not spread to other...

Thank you both!! Since it’s like a wart, I assume it must be contagious? Or is it safe to put the angel back into the display tank? I’ve been doing some research and it does definitely appear to be Lymphocystis, however, I’ve heard some hobbyists say it’s extremely contagious and other hobbyists...

What is the best way to treat that? Or is it untreatable? :( if that’s the case would it be best to humanely euthanize the fish?

I bought a very small angelfish for a newly cycled tank that has 2 white dots in its tail. I treated it like ich in quarantine, however the spots are STILL THERE. They have not shrank nor have they grown or spread to the rest of its body. I’ll include a picture I took when I put the fish in a...

ZxC thank you SO much! Very much appreciate it!!!

Hello, I currently am in the process of beautifying my 55 gallon community tank. My theme was for tropical riverbed but I have no idea which plants would be good!!! Ludwigia is okay looking and so far I’ve got some Brazilian pennywort for stemplants. I’ve got some bunches of hornwort as well...

I’m in full blown PANIC MODE at the moment as my largest Angelfish has just died and I found the corpse!!! WHATS CAUSING THIS??? My Ammonia was 0PPM and so was nitrites!!!! [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] my water isn’t experiencing any spikes or anything.... the only thing I’ve done is almost...

Hi, so context to this: i am currently in the process of changing the sand in my 8.8 gallon Dwarf puffer thank. I am currently using Caribsea naturals sand and it is VERY fine and very pretty, however, I have began to have some small problems with it and felt like it's for the best to just...

Hello everyone! Currently I am taking some time to focus on my new betta sorority tank and my missing angelfish that I am very sad about.. and was unable to post an update last week[emoji24] I apologize, but this Sunday I’ve got a really nice update!

I left my tanks last Friday for the weekend, all 3 of my angels in my 55 were completely fine like they normally are. When I came back Monday night my Altum angel has COMPLETELY disappeared! [emoji24] I can’t find her anywhere!!! I raised her from just the size of a nickel and it breaks my...
