Thank you so much! I definitely knew I had to do something to ensure my fish were fine, just didn't know what :lol: Thanks to you they'll be happier with their live plants AND beneficial bacteria, you're the best! This is the gravel I use btw I'll change it soon

Sorry I'll be more specific :( right now it's decorated with plastic algae, but I want to give it aquarium plants that need a special substrate for nutrients and sunlight!

I think my fish would be happier if his tank was decorated with algae instead of plastic, but I don't know if I can do it inmediately or have to wait for the tank to cycle :( My fish has been two years in this tank, so they've pretty much settled (phew!) But all of the aquarium plants died due...

So sorry to hear that :( Somehow it could have been the bottled water you were buying; I’d make sure to use a dechlorinator just in case. Anyhow, do you have any decorations that could lower the pH of the aquarium? Sea shells and unknown rocks that you may have bought could be messing it up...

Thanks man! I’ll make sure to do that :)

In my case, when they don't want to eat it's that they're either sick (so sorry to hear that!) or bad quality flakes - I'd recommend to make sure to buy fish flakes for their fish species.

I know I haven't posted for a while and I'm desperate for help because Lemon, one of my tetra Glofish has a gash in his dorsal fin I cleaned the tank a few days ago and today I noticed of his splitted fin there, I don't know if it was when I used the aquarium fish net or the decorations inside...

Hi Cutty, I’m so sorry about what happened with your bosemani :( In my experience when a fish is in the top of the aquarium there’s an issue with lack of oxygenation; Do you have a filter as powerful enough for your tank? And if so, I recommend checking your water parameters with a good test...

Hi Relova! Welcome to Aquarium Advice! I'm so glad you joined us, we will help with any questions you have about fishkeeping.

Yeah, when I was little there was a fair in my mall and we won two Budgies. Needless to say that in my opinion giving any live animals as prizes is a horrible practice since they need responsible owners to thrive Having pets in general requires a lot of responsibility and as thrilled as I was...

There could also be the possibility that they jumped out. Specially if your fish tank doesn't have a lid! Check the area around the tank just in case to see if they're in the ground - Fish disappearing mysteriously is really weird

Welcome to Aquarium Advice! That's great to hear :) My advice if you get more fry from now on would be getting a breeding box - And let them grow up there until they can defend themselves from other platys.

I'm so sorry for what happened to your Cories! If you didn't see anything weird on them, they probs died from a natural cause. I'm sure they lived a healthy and happy life because of you :)

I agree. I think pearl danios look great in schools of 20 :)

Woohoo! So glad to see your setup worked out :) your aquarium looks amazing!

Hi pvsunshine, I’m glad you asked in Aquarium Advice, this post is old so I hope your betta is doing fine right now. Unfortunately, we can’t help too much if you don’t answer these questions with more detail! These are from a member called Menangerie: What type of fish is afflicted? In...

It’s so sad to hear about your Catfish :( I’m almost sure he has swim bladder disease which sometimes can be too late to treat it; the only cure I know is to feed it boiled peas for three days (make sure it’s not hot when you give them to the Catfish or it could cause a thermal shock) This is...

The lifespan of a pygmy Cory is 3 years so maybe that could be the case :( Could you post a picture of the Cory? To evaluate if he/she has some illness...

So sorry about your Goldie! You should place him in a quarantine tank so the other goldfish don’t get needlessly medicated or infected (if it gets worse) Also, your Goldfish sitting on top of the filter pipe is kind of weird, could you post a picture of the filter? It could be the cause of the...

I know I’m not an expert at this, but when a fish stays in the top of the tank it means that there’s a lack of oxygen. Maybe your filter isn’t enough for a 55g? Just asking for how many gallons it opperates. My advice would be to do frequent water changes (40% every week) until your nitrates...

Well you have very few Glofish for such a big tank. I can understand why you wouldn’t get more, a larger quantity of them will lower their aggression levels! Think of it this way: Fish form friends with their favorite fish because every individual has different personalities AND if they’re...

Well that’s great! :) Maybe it’s their name (assassin snails) lol.

That's so great!! I hope my advice helped you anyways :)

Did you rinse off the substrate and all of the decorations throughly before adding them to the tank? Maybe it’s the driftwood that’s causing the cloudy water.

I’m so sorry about your Platy! Unfortunately, fish disappearing randomly happens a lot in the hobby; my only advice would be checking the floor around your tank like Aiken Drum said. I have a few questions that can help you find her; did you leave your fish tank to someone else at least for a...
