Anyone know what this is? As for background- I did a water change yesterday and my fish was totally healthy. All the Parameters are in check. This morning there was a tiny white blip on his head and now his entire face is covered in this white stuff. There is some type of stringy...

I bought this gourami yesterday and he had a tiny gray spot on his back. Since yesterday- it has grown (see image). I treated with Microbe Lift Herbtana to boost his immune system. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks!

I just got a neon dwarf gourami. He hasn’t eaten in 2 weeks and it’s because he is so shy that he never comes to the surface. I would try sinking the food but my tetras gobble the food up so fast it’s impossible. Any advice? Thanks

I’ve had these fish for years, and my 3 mollies just randomly died over the course of 2 days for no obvious reason. The weirdest part is- my youngest Platy is doing fine and my neons are doing fine as well, but my 4th molly who is exactly 1.5 years old is acting sickly. I did recently add an...

I have some limnophila indica that has been very healthy until the past month. Some of the plants look to be dying, and some almost look stripped. I am going to attach a photo. As you can see, the one part looks stripped whole the rest looks normal. I have a 29g tank with 2 platies, 2...

I just got a new male pearl gourami, and my older female gourami aggressively chases him around the tank. I don’t know why she chases him- she just does. I read that these species got along with one another but it seems that isn’t correct. I have a 29 gallon with lots of plants, 6 platies...

My fish was very sick and was laying on his side. I isolated him into a 5 gallon hospital tank (he is a molly). I medicated it with anti bacterial and anti fungal medications and he recovered very well. He was eating and swimming relatively normally. Then the next morning, he was just dead...

I just got a fluval aqua clear for my 30 gallon tank, and it was great. I just replaced all the stock stuff with fine fluval filter floss. It was working amazing at first along with some water clarifier, but I put in some more and the tank has been cloudy as heck for days. I have this dirted...

I had a potbelly molly named Tigger for about 7 months and it randomly died. It was totally fine in the morning, eating, and swimming normal. Then I came up later that day and it was stuck to the filter and dead. A couple of days prior to this, I saw my one platy get stuck to the filter too...

I have 1 male molly, and 2 females, along with 2 male platies and 4 females. I had one baby a couple months ago, but haven’t seen I single baby since. My tank is cycled and I have a 29 gallon. Any particular reason I haven’t seen any babies? I heard live bearers breed like crazy

I thought my tank was cycled because I have nitrates, and I did an ammonia test and I have like 1.0 ppm ammonia and 0 nitrites, and 5.0 nitrates. I’d there something wrong with my tank? Is it not fully cycled? It’s been over a month and I’ve used api QuickStart a bunch

I have this problem where no matter what I do, my tank gets cloudy again. It’s not bloom, my tank is cycled, and I’ve used water clarifier and it works! But the cloud comes back in like a day! I don’t know how to get this to go away. My filter is usually so saturated with dirt that I HAVE to...

I got a pearl gourami recently and it absolutely refuses to eat. When it nips a flake, it just spits it out and doesn’t try to re eat it. It’s been 4 days and it hasn’t eaten anything. What should I do?

Hello, I have this problem where my water had a slight yellow tinge to it, and looks like tea when the lights are off. I used organic miracle grow and gravel as my substrate. I thought the yellow was tannins or some type of organic waste, so I got Purigen because I read everywhere that it...

You can’t really see it with the photo but my fish tank has a yellow hue and has a cloudy ness to it. I’ve used water clarifier before with great results and now it seems to not be working. I’m thinking the cloudiness could potentially be bacterial bloom since it is a new tank, but why the...

Got a new 29 gallon for christmas. Put some organic potting soil in, with a gravel cap. Put some live plants too. Ran into some complications and the water is super muddy/murky. Any solutions? Should I turn on my filter?

I have 3 mollies and have (did) 4 platies. One of my platies just randomly died. She was fine for around 4 months, and before she died, showed no sickness. My tank is very cycled and she always ate good too. Does this just sometimes happen? They just randomly die?

I’ve had this Dwarf Gourami named “Pi” for about 1.5 months. He has been doing great for that period of time, and never had even the slightest of problems. The water I always kept pristine. I had 3 gouramis before him, but I made mistakes with each of them, and this one I made sure everything...

Anyone know what these little things are?

I have had my tank way longer than my girlfriend, heck, twice as long and I STILL get ammonia (slight, 0.25-0.5) readings, with zero nitrites and nitrates. All my water perimeters are good except how my GH is 0. Do bacteria need some GH to grow? And if so, how to I rise the GH?

How good are baby mollies at hiding? I mean mine is black like the gravel, making him hard to see, but I haven’t seen him in 2 days. Does this mean he was eaten or are baby mollies very good at hiding? He was about the size of 2 rice grains last time I saw him

I have a few questions for my aquarium. 1.) my GH is pretty much 0, while my KH is relatively middle/high. Is it essential I rise my GH? And how do I do so? 2.) my PH is about 7.8-8.0. I use activated carbon and read that is removed carbonic acid in the water. My tap water has a perfect...

I have a baby mollie in my ten gallon. (I think it’s a mollie, might be a platy). It’s black and very hard to see amongst my black gravel. Is the color that the baby is now, going to be it’s adult color? Or will it start developing color later on?

I made a help thing in here a month ago and now it’s been 2 months and I’m still getting 0.5 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate. Any help is appreciated

My tank isn’t cycled yet (still getting ammonia) so I don’t think this is algae. Not sure what it is. Ammonia 0.5PPM Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0
